So You Think You Can Dance? ...I wish

I'm sitting here watching my DVR'ed SYTYCD from last night, since I was out being all social and whatnot, and I have to say I'm underwhelmed.  Maybe the novelty of the show has worn off a little.  SYTYCD Season 2 was like my first love, I'll always keep that season on a pedestal, and so far, nothing has lived up to it.  Thankfully, Travis Wall is choreographing now and he is freaking brilliant!  He and Donyelle were my faves on Season 2, so I'm glad to see he's returned to television in a respectable fashion instead of forming a lame girl group and going on Randy Jackson presents America's Best Dance Crew(cough...Donyelle...cough).  The name of the show is lame enough that no one should want to be on it, but I digress...here's fun little pick of Travis stretching:

(don't act like you didn't know he was gay)

Here's my rundown of the dancers who I currently have any emotions toward (good or bad)...

• I'm really sad that Billy Bell had to leave the show before it really began, and I'm wondering if his "illness" they were referring to was puberty?  Can't the makeup staff help the kid out with a little powder for his pimples???  Everybody gets 'em Billy, we just now how to cover them up (or choose to stay off national television). 
• Ballroom Barbie (aka Ashleigh).  Hate her.  She just looks so fake and has zero personality.  PLUS she's not very elegant, especially considering she's a ballroom dancer.  My advice:  head on back to Utah and pop out a kid or 12 my dear (they'll be pretty at least).
• Ryan says he's "very strong, very masculine, very physical"...as Mary would say, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.  You're a ballroom dancer dude!  Everyone knows I love the gays, but this guy is married to a Ballroom Barbie and maybe that's why I question his sexuality (at least Travis just puts it out there).  It's like he's trying to hard.
• Kathryn...really?  do you even have to ask?  I love her name, but her routine was sick last night.  Sometimes I like the hip hop routines more than the judges and I was worried that I would miss the mark with my critique, but fortunately for this pair the judges and I were on the same page.  Just awesome.
• I'm really excited about Mollee and Nathan as a couple.  Nathan is so amazing and Mollee has everything going for her, but her name (Sorry sweetheart, but I guess you're of the generation where your parents decided to spell your name funny to make you standout...it didn't work, it's just spelled wrong).  Their routine was full of some really outrageous tricks and the dancing was decent, but Molls looked like a frantic high school cheerleader.  This pairing was definitely catered for the teeny boppers, which is totally fine.  I was once a teeny bopper myself (mmmBop)*.

*Did anyone know that Hanson was touring right now?  Oh boy do I wish I had!  The brothers Hanson were in Atlanta tonight...lucky GA bitches.  I will say that I am really glad it never worked out between me and Taylor; his wife's uterus seems like it has a revolving door...yuck!

I cheated and checked the website before the end of the show, so I know who's going home, and I'd say that it's fair.  And now that I've reached the end of the episode, I'd say it's especially fair, since Nigel is going to try to renew his eligibility.  All in all, a mediocre episode with a few standouts, but it was no Tranji.

Goodnight my pets!
