SYTYCD: Who Will be on the Top 4
Season 14 of SYTYCD is quickly coming to an end and I am not quite ready for it to be over. Hopefully, there will be another season and maybe if we nag the network enough they will go back to the top 20 format. Anyway, back to this season, next week there is a double elimination to reveal the top 4.
There are three contestants that I am sure will be in the top 4. Taylor, Lex, and Logan are my top three and I think that it’s possible that any of them will be this season’s winner. As for the other three contestants, I think it will be close call of who will take the remaining spot, cause they are all deserving of spot in the top 4.
Koine: For me she has the best chance to make the top 4. Koine started off as a bit of a dark horse in the competition but I think she has become a favorite of the viewing audience. I also really like the partnership between her and Marko.
Kiki: If Kiki is the one that makes it to the top 4, he will be the first ballroom dancer to make it that far since season 2. Several have made it to the top 6 but none have made to the finals since Heidi and Benji. Kiki has improved since the academy and I think his fan base is bigger that I realize. Judging by the studio audience the girls like him.
Kaylee: I think that Kaylee is deserving of a spot in the top 4…she is a talented dancer that has learned of to fuse different styles of dance successfully. She is unique, while that is a good thing, it can also be a bad thing. Nigel said it the best that Kaylee won’t be everyone’s “cup of tea”.
Those are my thoughts on who will make it to the finale. What are yours?
I certainly hope you are correct in saying Koine has the best shot of the three because she is my favorite. Barring disaster, I see Lex and Taylor making it without a problem. Kaylee, barring a miracle, I see being eliminated. Kiki, Koine, and Logan are the three I cannot place and can make arguments for and against.
Kiki I thought had a fanbase to rival Lex’s and Taylor’s until last week. Last week confirmed his fans are vocal, but not as numerous as I believed. However, he will get the scare jump every first contestant that was saved by the judges received, but it’s a lot harder to do that when there are six dancers as opposed to nine. His routine I see a mixed reaction between “he deserves it for not dropping a single cane” and “he doesn’t deserve it because that routine would not be as impressive if you take away all of the cane catching, which basically was the entire routine”. The ballroom factor also plays a part, to an extent because you see how that worked out for Mark. Every time a ballroom dancer gets close, everyone says they are the second coming of ballroom, and then you see how that worked out for Witney, Paul, Tanisha, Ruby, etc. But who knows, Tadd broke the curse for B-Boys, maybe Kiki can break the curse for ballroom.
Based on various comments on different sites, it seems Koine has Dassy to thank for getting out of the bottom. Every person I saw who was a Dassy fan sent all of their votes to Koine (Myself included). She’s certainly proved herself the most versatile, if not the most challenged, of the six, but her greatest Wow moment was an African Jazz, not necessarily what you want when you need people to remember you before all others, and a jive is certainly not what you want to be the thing that decides whether you stay or go.
Logan fans proved their power after week 1, voting like crazy to make sure that was never repeated. My only question is how many of his fans are fans of him and Lex, and how many are going to choose Lex over him.
With only a couple million people tuning in, it doesn’t take that much to upset the balance. Lex, Taylor, and Kaylee I am fairly certain of their places. Koine, Kiki, and Logan, I think their fate lies with Mark’s fans, to an extent. I’ve seen a few Mark fans pledge votes to Lex, Logan, and Koine for various reasons, which fills me with hope because I like those three. However, they weren’t vocal the way Dassy fans were. Then again, that is only websites where people bothered to comment, there could be plenty who think Kaylee or Kiki deserve their votes and don’t say anything, or simply don’t vote at all. I’m hoping the final four is Lex, Taylor, Logan, and Koine. Kiki does not excite me the way the others do, and after two weeks in the bottom, it doesn’t look good for Kaylee. Either way, I expect terrible news tomorrow.
I am so disappointed that Kiki is there and not Logan. Logan is a complete package with maybe not as much sex appeal as Kiki, bit he is strong and an overall better dancer. Kiki can’t even leap – we learned that tonight. I agree with the other three, but the fourth should be Logan and I think NL and MM would agree. Didn’t you see the look they shared ??
