Auditions:
Miami/Memphis (or "Party in the Ring")
May 27
Can you believe my city is on "SO You
Think YOu Can Dance?" Uh-huh. Along with Miami, my hometown is on
tonight's show. Filled with a rich pro wrestling history, this city is
known for its finest moments. Will they get funky like 2 COld Scorpio,
or act sillt like The Brian Kendrick? The opening bell sounds and it's
on.
MIAMI
Tyce Diorio joins the undeniable tag team of Nigel & Mary. Tony's up
first and does all rubber band movements. After a cartwheel, he takes a
tumble. The judges snap him out. Next up, Priscilla, who dealt with an
injury at age 15. To celebrate life, she does a modern ballet dance. The
judges send her off to Vegas. Janette & Romulo get revenge after what
happened last season. After a salsa, Mary called it sexy & strong. They
fire themselves up for Las Vegas. Here's a set of twins named Jennifer &
Jessica. With a bad hip-hop routine, Nigel called it a nightmare. That
was a twin killing for both of them. The afternoon wore on with very bad
dancers and Joseph breaks the streak by doing a hip-hop number. The
judges say it's round 2. Since the round began, Lauren was taught a
routine, and Joseph got a ticket to Vegas along with those who made it.
DAY 2
Kicking things off, a lady named Wislande who does a strange routine.
Strange means it's "rejected." She gets a reality check. Even the
dancers got their own reality checks. All of them bounced. Erik is up
next and does a tap dance to "Thriller." BTW, his nickname is "Silky."
The judges give him a smooth run to Vegas. A former Miss Washington,
Paris is up next and did a routine with a modern twist. They send her to
Vegas. Not Paris, VEGAS!!!! Thank you for that. With more contemporary
routines on the way, Geo is next and he does an African Dance. The one
highlight was jumping onto the judges table. Don't break yourself.
That'll send him to round 2 in a good way. Talia lost her husband in a
motorcycle accident, but regains it with a hip-hop/jazz routine. That'll
give her momentum to the next round. It began at that time, considering
why you watch TV where several dancers including Geo and Talia got to
Vegas in a hurry. Now we move a little up north to my hometown.
MEMPHIS
Lil' C joins in the three-way dance for the judges, and no, The Big Boss
Man came out of the grave to join this, it's actually a police officer
named Marico, who does a style entitled "Memphis juking." He scores to
Vegas. And if he wanted to serve hard time when he's not dancing, he's
eyeing his next victim Dustin, whose cousin is Howie from the Backstreet
Boys. With a funny routine, he's should've respected the law & order, so
he's off to the clink for that. Chris calls his style electric, but he's
having a rave party....looks like he short circuited it, so he's
unplugged. We get a tutorial on how well you can audition for the show,
and a few people isn't one of them. Maybe Caitlin can try to do good
here. Earlier in the broadcast, her sister auditioned in Miami and made
it to Vegas. Now, it's her turn. With a modern ballet routine, she's
joining her sister to Vegas. Talk about a family reunion. Round 2 came
and some dancers came to Vegas, but the ones you see on the screen
aren't going.
DAY 2
Anna's dad comitted suicide last year, but she decided to pick up the
pieces through dancing. Here, we see a modern routine and the judges
like her somewhat, but is sent to the next round. Another round 2
candidate is Travis, whose dad is a football coach. With a contemporary
routine, the judges get the field goal on him instead of Six. Evan &
Ryan are brothers, and here Evan did the routine done by his brother and
he's off to Vegas in a sweep. we'll get to Ryan later, just after we see
twins named Lauren & Lydia. Earlier, a set of twins did badly, this time
another set did better than the first. With them going to round 2, it
looks like Lauren & Lydia would be the clear winners if a dance contest
was held. Ryan waited longer in the waiting room and does a silly tap
routine. But it was serious for him to go to Vegas! Lauren & Lydia are
plotting to join them in the act, but in order to do that, they must do
a choreographed routine. Guess what? They did! Along with a few others.
The final bell tolls and it's all over. Next week should be the Vegas
episode, and in this Royal Rumble, it's all about the top 20 in this
Survivor Series of routines. The public votes on Judgment Day, ending 2
dancers every week in a Backlash, but tomorrow, we go to where
Wrestlemania used to have it, Los Angeles, and Seattle. We'll see you
tomorrow on the Summerslam known as "So You Think You Can Dance."
