SYTYCD Open Thread

Well, I've been saying since the beginning that Ellenore was my favorite female contestant, and last night I finally felt like she got a piece of choreography that showed why I love her so. Travis' work even made me like Ryan, who I haven't liked for some reason, though Iain has been championing him from the start.

It was a good night overall; I especially loved Kathryn's and Legacy's paso doble and Noelle's and Russell's foxtrot. (How great was the costuming for the foxtrot?)

Most notable about last night's episode for me was Nigel's return to Critical Levels of Lechery, which was making Iain shout at the television, and the disproportionate focus on the male dancers at the expense of their partners, which hasn't been so bad this season until last night. At one point, I turned to Iain and said, "I guess the Top 10 is going to be all men!" since it seemed like every guy was being told he was going straight to the Top 10.

Except Kevin. Who's probably going home.
