SYTYCD Top 8 Power Rankings
I predict an “easy” solution to a very hard choice for next week’s unprecedented Top 6. Maybe I’m all wrong – you’ll have to let me know what you think. But here are my predictions for tomorrow night’s results…

I’m so excited for tonight’s show, knowing that some or all of Seasons 5’s Top 10 are going to be on tonight. And Quest! Bound to be a great show, even if we do have to eliminate two dancers.

Until I get all of tonight’s music up, you can always take a look at all the music from previous episodes here.
Emilie and I were chatting last night about all of the mormons that are on dance shows. It’s really quite amazing how many of the dancers on these shows are mormons. Granted most people don’t know and probably don’t care too much what their religion is (as so they shouldn’t), they just love the way they dance.
However, mormons do love seeing other mormons (don’t ask me exactly why). Plus, I have to admit that Ryan and Ashleigh Di Lello hit me from 2 angles since they’re mormon and they both went to BYU (where I went also). So, it’s fun for me to watch little things about Ryan and Ashleigh. For example, I loved the picture of Ryan in front of a mormon temple last night. Although, my wife gets credit for noticing it first.
On that note, it was fun to see the college (BYU) newspaper write an article about Ryan and Ashleigh. Check it out, it’s a good read. Here’s a few interesting quotes:
“In general, so much is out of your control [on the show],” said Ashleigh Di Lello. “The editing that takes place, you wish more could be shown about who you really are in some ways because there is such limited time beyond the dancing and sometimes people can form opinions. I think anyone who has been on TV could say that it is not enough time for people to get to know who you are.”
…
The Di Lellos met in a dance studio four days after he returned home from his mission to Argentina.“We considered dancing together but we felt we should keep the dancing separate from our relationship and just focus on our dating and courtship,” Ryan Di Lello said. “A lot of people say if you spend so much time with your partner you will eventually start dating and we didn’t want it to be because of dance; we wanted it to be because of us getting to know each other and falling in love with each other separate from dance.”
…
For a couple years, the Di Lellos performed on cruise ships and then decided they would settle down in Salt Lake City. Ryan began working at a financial services firm but they soon realized they were not ready to give up performing.
…
The Di Lellos heard about the “So You Think You Can Dance” auditions only a couple weeks before the judges came to Utah, so they began to prepare last minute.
Of course, you’d think with me being mormon and having graduated from BYU myself that Ryan and Ashleigh would be my favorites. They’re not. I love Noelle!
To me, it seems pretty clear who should go this week. Except…because it seems “easy” this week, I wonder if America will feel differently or be polarized. Vote to keep your favorites in! No more Kherringtons! I was thinking we’d probably have a male winner this year (we’ve been alternating the last few…) because the guys seemed way stronger at first, what with Jakob and Russell in particular. But these girls are amazing!
I just posted the poll to vote on the winner of So You Think You Can Dance season 6. However, I thought it would also be interesting to have 2 polls to see which girl you think will be going home tomorrow and which guy will be going home as well. So, let your vote be known and let’s see how good we are at predicting who will be sent home on tomorrow’s SYTYCD elimination show.
Seems like now would be a good time to vote for who you think will be the winner of So You Think You Can Dance season 6. We’re down to the top 10 dancers and America’s vote is all that counts. Plus, now we get to start voting for individuals. So, let’s see who readers of Pure SYTYCD think will be the winner of So You Think You Can Dance season 6.
I’m excited to see Season6’s Top 10 perform in their new couples tonight. And, I’m super excited to see this Sonya routine to the full-length version of Oona and Dave Tweedie’s song “Tore My Heart.” I think we have good things in store tonight.

Okay, I’m taking over for Emilie tonight, so this should be interesting. I had originally planned to watch the show with Kathryn’s familiy, friends, dance teachers (who were my dance teachers too). However, due to other things, I will have to wait till next week. Hopefully we will see Kathryn in the top 10. It’s going to be a fun packed show with 12 dances and I’m going to give my thoughts on all the couples and their perfomances. Then I will attempt to rank them some how.
Ellenore and Ryan: 1st dance-Lindy Hop: So happy to see this style back on the show. Adam was right it was a great way to start the show. To be honest I couldn’t think of a better couple to perform this dance, at least for me.
2nd dance-Broadway: Loved this, the performance was fabulous. The best dance for these two for me some far.
Kathryn and Legacy: 1st dance-Jazz: Had to to be one of my favorite Sonya dances since the Garden. Loved that this really showcased her technique and she was able to use Legacy’s b-boy skills. 2nd dance-Vienesse Waltz: I felt like the story that was being told was their story. For me the Vienesse Waltz is always beautiful and I love watching it.
Karen and Victor: 1st dance-Tango: This was good for me and for the first time they have dance together, not to shabby. 2nd dance-Hip Hop: I actually liked the hip hop better than the tango. They had moments they were out of sync but I like the lyrical hip hop, so I didn’t quite agree with the judges on this one.
Molle and Nathan: 1st dance-Hip Hop: It was a cute routine, perhaps too cute on Mollee’s part. Overall a good dance and the dance wouldn’t be complete without Nathan ripping his pants. 2nd dance- Can Can: I agree the best couple to perform this dance. Was anyone else surpised that it was Tyce behind the choreography? I was, mainly because I thought there would have be another new choreographer. Just fun dance and I still can’t get the music out of my head.
Noelle and Russell: 1st dance-Samba: For me this dance was okay, I didn’t expect the review they got would be as good as it was. Their performance was the best part of the routine for me. 2nd dance-Contemporary: Their best dance of the night. I’m with Nigel I am starting to forget that Russell is a street dancer. You know the kinda remind me of Katee and Joshua, Katee was in the footage.
Ashleigh and Jakob: 1st dance-Lyrical Jazz: Another great Soyna routine. What else can you say about Jakob other than flawless. Also Ashleigh has continued to keep up with him and the have a great partnership. 2nd dance-Cha Cha: A role reversal for these two. So happy that Ashleigh was able to dance her style and Jakob kept up with her as I expected him to.
My top 2

Nathan and Mollee
Karen and Victor
So there you have it just my opinion of the night. It’s so hard to really tell who will be going home but for me I’m thinking it might be the end of the road for Victor and Karen. So vote for you favorite, I know I am time for me to put about fifty votes in for Kathryn and Legacy.
Dance is one of my biggest passions. I grew up dancing at Augusta West Dance Studio (the same studio that Kathryn McCormick). I have a BFA in theatre/dance from Valdosta State University. Tap is my favorite style of dance.
Last night’s show had some great music, so I’m excited again to see what music they’ll bring out tonight. Judging from the comments, tonight’s results are really uncertain. The only thing I can count on is the awesome music. And Cat. We can always count on Cat.
