Dawn and I are very much enjoying the 5th season of SYTYCD. We are such huge fans of the show that we love to pick apart every detail from the choreographers, the dancers, to what Cat is wearing. Unfortunately we will not be continuing to share our thoughts about the show here on our fan blog. We knew that having a brand spanking new blog wasn’t going to immediately bring our friends and other readers to come and discuss the show, but we had hoped. Dawn and I have had many late nights creating wonderful recaps, but it is hard to stay up writing knowing that we may not get a lot of response. We feel like we are just writing for each other. So unless we come back by popular demand we will not continue to write about our favorite show on TV here on this blog. You can still find us blogging over at The Mom Crowd.

Thank you very much to those who have commented and shared your thoughts!! We are down to the top 14 and all I can say is “Go Ade and Kayla!”

I would have certainly been embarrassed to watch the opening number with my little girl in room. Tabitha and Napoleon’s dance was steaming hot. I thought it was a Chicago number at first, but was really surprised to hear that NapTab choreographed the dance.

There were not any surprises about the bottom 3 couples: Asuka & Vitolio, Jason & Caitlin, Karla & Jonathan. Although, I do think that Philip is treading on thin ice. I am glad Nigel gave him a good talking to last night.

The special dance guest tonight, The Rage Boys Crew, were the cutest guest dancers ever on the show. Even better than the tap dancers last year. I laughed out loud when I saw the little guy flying through the air. He certainly stole the show.

I also would have needed to hit the fast forward button when The Veronica’s came on if my little girl had been with me in the room. Their lack of stage costumes and racy lyrics weren’t family appropriate. I know the rhumba (and Jeanatte’s costume) from last night aren’t family appropriate either, but those seem different somehow.

Alright, on to the solos. Caitlin gave her solo the very best that she had. I love solos that make you feel like they left their heart on the floor. It worked and she is safe! Karla’s solo was odd, but had style. According to Nigel she was off center and desperate, but she was safe. Finally, Asuka (aka Oscar according to Cat) gave it all her blinged out best. Nigel said that she hasn’t grown in the competition and I have to agree. She hasn’t blossomed and her “break down” this week didn’t help her case either. Bye, Asuka!

Vitolio had the best guy solo of the night. He presented a very good case to stay in the competition and it worked. Jason looked liked a dancing Old Navy commercial. I actually like it when they dance in regular clothes. Somehow he eked by the other guys. Then there is gymnast Jonathan that “hasn’t brought the dancing required to be America’s favorite dancer.” I don’t think I am even going to miss him. Bye, Jonathan!

Vitolio is now with Karla. Karlio?  I love it when the couples get mixed up. I think they will do well together. We shall see! Oh, another 6 days! I can’t wait.

On a side note, my husband said tonight, “Cat is like a big sister. Can I try out so I can get a hug from Cat?” Lol! I want a Cat hug too. Was her outfit a tribute to Farrah Fawcett? She really made me laugh tonight standing up after the group dance and after the Crew dance. She makes SYTYCD awesome.

Do you think Karlio will do well? Will you miss Jonathan or Asuka?
