Season 6 – Season of the Flip Flop?
I’d like to share a bit of yet another conversation between me and John and see what y’all think.
Emilie: and this season, i’ve felt like a flip flopper.John: you are a flip flopperalthough, i think a lot of people have flip flopped this seasonEmilie: i haven’t flip flopped THAT much this seasoni liked my favorites pretty early the only ones i flip flopped on were ashleigh, legacy and mollee oh, i flip flopped on karen, too.
Yes, I’m aware that I flip flopped on whether or not I was a flip flopper. ๐ So, let me be honest with myself and with all of you.
-I liked Mollee and then didn’t. And then did again after she got to the Top 10 and switched partners.
-I liked Karen and didn’t like Ashleigh. And then I liked Ashleigh better and Karen a lot less. And then Karen left and Ashleigh peaked (in my opinion) and I was ready for her to go again.
-I didn’t like Legacy, but then I was impressed by him in a lot of his routines with Kathryn. And then less impressed (or at least less reliably so) when he switched partners.
But it’s not just SYTYCD dancers I flip flopped over this fall season. I disliked most of Louis van Amstel’s work on SYTYCD, but out of curiosity (and John’s peer pressure), I started watching Dancing with the Stars sporadically. Louis’s partnership with Kelly Osbourne on there made me fall for him and his work. I’m excited to see more of it on SYTYCD in the future. Will that happen?
However, I also had a few solid passions this season. Peter. Sigh. Really wish he could be on the tour. Maybe the tappers could be “special guests,” eh Nigel? Loved Ellenore since Vegas and love her more today. Grew to love Noelle and Kathryn quickly into the Top 20. While I admire Jakob and I’ll be satisfied if (if? ha!) he’s the winner, I’m much more passionate about the girls this season, especially Kathryn and Ellenore.
Did anybody else feel like a flip flopper this season? Who made you flip flop? Any of the dancers have your love from day one?
I have not been a flip flopper at all. I’ve just had horrible luck with my favorites this year. Everyone that I’ve liked has been sent home. Although, I must admit that I’m glad that Ashleigh stayed and will be in the finale. I think it will be great to have Ashleigh dance with her husband. I’d love to see them do a Hip Hop with Nappytabs (but that won’t happen).
So, if I were choosing things, I’d vote for Kathryn. However, I’m still expecting Jakob to run away with it.
I have been lucky this season. My original top 20 fav listings: Kathryn, Jakob, Ryan, Ellenore, Nathan, Pauline, Legacy. Only one of them didnยดt make top 10, the rest did. Four of them are in the top 6. I still love my favorites, but I have grown to like every dancer who made top 12.
Legacy & Katheryn were my flip floppers from the Vegas week.
i totally didn’t like the mollee at all, but after i watched her amazing solos, i think that her solo was one of best in season 6..specially with “bulletproof”
Legacy.
Wasn’t a fan of his during Vegas, and not even in the the “meet the Top 20” special episode.
It wasn’t until his very first performance with Kathryn that I began to see his potential. And it wasn’t the fact that he was with Kathryn (who is my fave)… I thought he was fabulous with Ellenore, too. I’m still bummed that he went home last week! ๐
Legacy and Ashleigh. I didn’t think they deserved to be in the top 20 at all! Then over the course of the season, they completely won me over.
Also, I know I’m in the minority, but I find Ellenore’s personality totally offsets her dancing for me. Yes she can dance, but I would be happy to never see her again. Poor Mollee ๐
