'So You Think You Can Dance Australia' Round Up: Top 18 Week
Posted by Clem Bastow at 11:43 AM on February 26, 2008
A slightly less disjointed episode this week, with a marginally more interested-sounding crowd, although someone really needs to have words with presenter Natalie Bassingthwaighte, whose presenting steez swings between aggro and just plain weird (though we'll leave the full run-down to our weekly Totally Addicted To Bass feature!).
As to the comings and goings of last night (and Sunday), we weren't really surprised to see Hilton leave; solo, he's a wonderful dancer, but always seemed rather awkward whilst dancing with a partner, sticking his bum out like a duck and stooping because of his height.
Kassy we were a little more surprised to see the back of, though as Jason Coleman rightly pointed out, all of the 'dance for your life' solos last night were pissweak (though the exact term he used was "quantity not quality"), particularly Kassy's, which seemed to consist solely of wiggling her arse vaguely in time to the music.
What of the rest of the Top 16? They're definitely growing on us, though we've always loved Demi, Camilla, Henry and Jack. However we were definitely shocked that Marko and Stephanie survived another week after their laughable "swap" (swing/hip hop) routine, which followed last week's stinker of a jive (Choreographer: "Okay, guys, you've picked the jive, which is an up-tempo ballroom dance... [takes long drag on crack pipe] ...Let's dress you as sexy punks and have you dance to... The Veronicas! You can't lose!" Marko & Stephanie: "...").
Also, someone in wardrobe hates them.

Wtf is wrong with you people? Natalie is very talented, and 1.5 million veiwers can't be wrong in regards to choosing to watch SYTYCD. What are you - Channel Nine fanboys?!
