Kapuono is the least manly of the male dancers (of the Top 20, including the girls) for me.

:jittery_tb: :lol_tb: :clap_tb:

I think so too!!

Link above are spoilers from twop. No surprises on the judges comments. It appears Kupono and Randi got panned, they loved Melissa for her ballet moves and Brandon for his athleticism in “Age of Aquarius” number by Tyce, adored Kayla (who was barefoot) in the waltz and thought Evan looked clunky (who apparently wore serious latin heels). Jason and Jeanine got a standing O from everyone for their contemporary routine choreographed by Travis Wall. Standout solos: Evan, Jeanine, Ade. Not so good solos: Jason, Randi, Kupono.

Evan seems like a nice enough dude but he needs to leave sooner than later

I think that the “short end” of the stick definitely came for Evan/Kayla and Pono/Randi.

No pun intended. :lol_tb:

I think about Katee and Josh last year and how well they did with Broadway (Don’t Rock the Boat or whatever it was called) and wish others could do as well.

Pretty sure this was with Will, the same week they did the Pas de deux? Katee was fabulous in everything she did though.

I think that the short end of the stick definitely came for Evan/Kayla and Pono/Randi. I would say that it’s pretty fair, since Janette/Ade and Melissa/Brandon are stronger, and I would put Jeannine with the top half as well. But, I still don’t see the Jason love- and I disagree with the poster who said that the judges underrate him- they saved him 3 or 4 times! Maybe he will prove me wrong this time.

On the other hand….

if they nail it, Evan could — COULD — be a hero. You never know! (Actually, I do know: if they nail it, Kayla will get the praise.)

As a couple, Randi and Kupono have the other short straw. Paso is killer. Neither have the “kliller” instinct. This could also be a disaster.

Jeanine and Jason get to dance in their style. I think Jeanine has had some of the worst draws of style this season, and in Philip, a relatively weak partner (in that he was completely untrained). She’s earned a moment to shine, I think.

Jeanette and Ade could explode! Could be all kinds of awesome. Ditto Melissa and Brandon – though the choreography will be the critical point for them.

I’m curious about this hip hop for Janette and Ade. NapTab’s “specialty” is lyrical, but Ade has hip hop experience, so he could handle a harder hitting one. Hopefully they draw from the same creative well that they did for their group numbers this year bc those were great.

Sounds like it *could* be a good show. I’m really waiting to find out spoilers from the taping.

I wish Evan had gotten fox trot instead of waltz for his ballroom smooth dance. Bummer. He could’ve done beautifully with a Fred and Ginger type fox trot to “Cheek to Cheek” or something.

I would’ve mixed up the partners a bit more, and gone with Jeanine/Evan, Janette/Jason, Melissa/Pono, Randi/Brandon and Kayla/Ade. It would’ve put the tall people with the tall people as well as blended better, I think. Then Jeanine and Evan could’ve had the fox trot, Janette/Jason could’ve gone Broadway, Melissa/Pono hip hop, Randi/Brandon could have the contemp, and Kayla/Ade the paso doble.

If only they let me do it!

I agree with the people who said there has been no indication that Kupono can pull off a Paso. He LOOKS like the type of person who should be able to pull that off but looks can be deceiving.

Well KK at least you can give the dude the benefit of the doubt cause I think Porno looks like a serial killer to me.
