Bianca Revels and Phillip Atmore are eliminated tonight. – VIDEO
Two tappers gone tonight? I have a feeling Nigel wanted to keep at least one of them. Based on his remarks to each dancer, I think he would have sent home Noell rather than Bianca.
It’s a shame–both Bianca and Phillip are fantastic in their styles.
Next week, the SYTYCD schedule will be back to normal with the performances on Tuesday and results on Wednesday. Yay.
OMG. Nigel has moved the “Paula Abdul” chair next to Adam. “She’s forever my girl,” says Adam.
Billy Bell will be joining the Top 100 in Vegas next season. Brandon, who was eliminated last week after taking Billy’s place, will be able to audition for SYTYCD Season 7.
More recap after the jump…
Noell and Russell – Hip Hop by Jamal Sims – “Move Shake Drop Remix” by DJ Laz, Flo Rida and Casley – Hip-hop routine with tennis racquets is gimmicky, kind of silly. The judges don’t like the dancers, but I wonder if these two aren’t the victims of bad choreography. Adam says, “…I felt like it was overwhelming you a little bit.” Lots of rambling there, Adam. “For me, Russell, you won the match. This is your style…it got a little bit labored toward the end for me…Noell, you gave me more than I expected.” Nigel says, “It was just so fast, you didn’t get a hold of it…Noell, I’m not sure it’s going to be strong enough to keep you out of the bottom…a little disappointed.” – VIDEO
Ashleigh and Jacob – Viennese Waltz by Tony Meredith & Melanie LaPatin – “At Last” by Etta James – “This piece is the couples first wedding dance together,” says Melanie. Very pretty. But, it’s hard to get excited about the waltz. Adam says, “You guys can still do no wrong in my book…but it was a little ‘lifty’ to me..” Adam is criticizing the choreography. Mary says, “The lift sequence was very good, but I expected more from you…but you were there for her 100%…Ashleigh, I think you were wonderful…you guys are getting closer to the Top 10.” Nigel says, “Jacob, you are such a beautiful dancer…Ashleigh…you need to be careful with your arms a little bit…very strong routine tonight.” – VIDEO
Bianca and Victor – Broadway by Tyce Diorio – “Maybe God is Tryin’ to Tell you Something” The Color Purple (soundtrack) – The routine lacked chemistry and could have been danced with more energy. Adam says, “…what happened for me…you danced it well…I wanted to see you guys lose it.” Mary says, “It was good…but it didnt’ really go there…there wasn’t abandonment there.” Nigel says, “The characters weren’t strong enough…Victor you looked like a fish out of water. It didn’t sit very comfortably for either of you…disappointed with this routine.” – VIDEO
Mollee and Nathan – Bollywood by Nakul Dev Mahajan – “Azeem O Shaan Shahenshah” Jodhaa Akbar (soundtrack) – The story involves a warrior prince, and his unhappy princess. I love Bollywood! Nathan is a revelation! These two are cute together and are developing a terrific chemistry. Adam says, “You guys are such an exciting couple. Mollee you’re coming into your own…you embraced stillness.” Mary says, “The beginning of that was just like a Hollywood movie…the two of you are bringing something new to the stage.” Nigel says, “I thought it was fabulous…Nathan, tremendous stuff.” – VIDEO
Channing and Phillip – Samba by Tony Meredith & Melanie LaPatin – “Maracatu Funk” by The Samba Squad – Neither dancer is familiar with the Samba. Channing had some great hip action, but the lifts are really labored and sloppy. They’re going to get creamed. Adam says, “I could see you guys struggling with the style, Channing…great hip action…some really wonderful interaction.” Mary says, “It didn’t quite get done…a lot of the rhythmical elements were there. Phillip, you weren’t helping Channing…beautiful hip action.” Nigel says, “The chemistry between you didn’t work…” – VIDEO
Karen and Kevin – Hip Hop – Tabitha and Napoleon – “Ice Cream Paint Job” by Dorrough – Kevin is a mechanic, Tabitha is the hot girl who walks into his shop – Ha cute routine. Pretty sexy, too. Karen is amazing–so much personality and confidence. The pair have tons of chemistry. They really inhabited their characters. OMG I think Karen is turning Adam straight. j/k. Adam says, “Karen…you tore that up…Kevin you were fantastic.” Mary says, “It was hot for sure, yes miss thang you are still on the hot tamale train…Kevin you’re phenomenal…of course he’s on the hot tamale train.” Nigel says, “Kevin we expected you to be great…but Karen…you really are a real pleasure to watch.” – VIDEO
Kathryn and Legacy – Contemporary by Stacey Tookey – “2 Steps Away” by Patti LaBelle – The story is about a woman struggling with fear, the man is “fear”. A powerful piece beautifully danced. Wow. Adam says, “Legacy you are a different man than I’ve ever seen…you turned a corner, buddy…Kathryn, you are bringing out something beautiful in him.” Mary says, “It really was abandonment into the routine..Legacy, the growth we’re seeing in you…Kathryn, you just keep nailing it every week.” Nigel says, “It was a very touching routine, Legacy…you have grown and risen since then…Kathryn you were under the radar…you’re proving them wrong.” – VIDEO
Pauline and Peter – Jazz by Wade Robson – “Little Green Bag” by George Baker Selection – Discarded painting elements from “Starry Night” come back to haunt Van Gough. Erm. Ok. Back away from the ’shrooms, Wade! – Adam says the piece will be controversial, nevertheless, both dancers sold it. Mary says, “I loved the concept, and the costumes…I don’t think it’s going to take you anywhere right now.” Nigel says, “Wade makes a statement with his dancers. I think Peter, your shoulders are tight. Pauline, that’s the first time I’ve seen you dance to the full extent…very good indeed.” – VIDEO
Ellenore and Ryan – Argentine Tango – “Violent Tango” by Astor Piazzolla – Miriam Larici & Leonardo Barrionuevo – Ryan is so strong…the lifts are tremendous. I really dig Ellenore and all her quirks. She’s a beautiful dancer. Her skirt was caught in her heel, and she didn’t miss a beat. Adam says, “The laser like connection you two maintained..Ellenore…you had a stillness and maturity…congrats that was unbelievable.” Mary says, “Ellenore…it was just phenomenal….Ryan you were spot on…you were totally there for her.” Mary stood and screamed. Nigel says, “I don’t know another couple that could have done it any better than you showed us how to do it.” – VIDEO
Elimination time. Noell and Russell, Bianca and Victor, Channing and Phillip – the bottom four dancers will come from these three couples. Russell and Channing are asked to step back.
Noell, Bianca, Victor and Phillip are in the bottom 4. They will dance for their lives after the break.
Noelle (“For A Reason” by Zhane), Victor (“Navras” Matrix Revolutions (soundtrack)), Bianca (“Tootsee Roll” by 69 Boyz) and Phillip (“Almost Like Being In Love” by Nat King Cole) dance for their lives. – VIDEO
Eliminated: – VIDEO
The girls: The decision is not unanimous. Noell is staying, Bianca is going home. Nigel says they felt Noell danced for her life tonight.
The boys: Nigel says he’s upset. He tells Phillip that he’s going home. “Two tappers are going home tonight, and it breaks my heart.” Hm, I have a feeling Nigel was overruled somewhere…
OMG. Phillips father died a couple of weeks ago, the entire cast is in tears right now…Sniff.

One of the most important aspects of planning a wedding is of course… planning to have great wedding pictures! You can have the most magnificent wedding in the world but if the whole wedding photography thing is substandard, it could be a sore point in your marriage for years to come. Avoid this by planning well.
Wedding Photography Tip #1 - Choose An Experienced Wedding Photographer.
One of the key elements is of course to choose a great wedding photographer. So big is your photographer's portfolio? Has he presided over a handful of weddings or close to a hundred? Experience is key here so the more events your wedding photographer has handled, the more expertise and confidence he brings to the table. It also helps to know if wedding photography is his profession or if it's just a hobby. You know which of the two is more important!
Wedding Photography Tip #2 - Settle On A Style.
It's best to know beforehand what kind of style you want. Do you wish to have color wedding portrait photography? Or do you prefer black and white wedding photography? Playful angles or a more conservative style? Proper poses or candid wedding photography? Settle this in advance so you know what you're going to get. Also find out if your photographer will use film or go for digital wedding photography. Ask him to explain the difference.
Wedding Photography Tip #3 - Do You LIKE Your Wedding Photographer?
Professional skill is not all there is to be considered when you hire a wedding photographer. You must also be able to get along with him or her. Do you guys feel comfortable around this person? Does he or she dress well and as such will be able to fit in easily with the proceedings? The last thing you want is tension on your wedding day. Make sure your guy is someone you really want around on your big day.
Wedding Photography Tip #4 - Is The Price Right? Make sure your wedding photographer is within budget. That's not to say that you should find the cheapest photographer available. However, don't unload your entire savings on the wedding photography aspect of your wedding. Find a happy balance. Shell out a fair amount to ensure that you get fabulous pictures that will give you great memories. But be reasonable with your spending and haggle if you can.
Wedding Photography Tip #5 - Finalize Delivery Dates.
In the hustle and bustle of things, don't forget to get a firm date on when you will receive your wedding photos. Obviously, it's nicer to have your wedding photo album as soon as possible, especially if you are planning to be away for quite some time on your honeymoon. However, do understand how long the process can take, what time frames are involved, as well as packaging details and the like. Arrange all this in advance so you have a good idea when to expect your treasured pics and what it will finally look like.
Wedding Photography Tip #6 - Understand The Contract.
Professional wedding photography often involves more than just a friendly handshake. You will probably be required to examine and sign a contract. Study it well and make sure that the terms are fair. Make sure that the payment schemes are correct and be sure to read the fine print when it comes to cancellations and other details. Also, be sure to know if the photographer himself will be there; sometimes an agency might send someone else instead.
Wedding Photography Tip #7 - LOOK THE PART!
So far, we've talked about the photographer and the processes involved in selecting a great one. But of course, a key aspect to a successful pictorial is how YOU look. You must be stunning! Granted you will have the best clothes, hairdos, and possibly even a designer wedding dress. But here's a good wedding photography tip that's often forgotten: be sure you have fabulous teeth on THE day! Smiling is everything and if there's one thing that can sully a picture it is discolored teeth.
Make sure your teeth are clean and white as can be. The best way to do this is to bleach them. You can do this at home using an over-the-counter tooth whitening product. There's little fuss involved and once your teeth are cleaned your smile will be absolutely picture perfect. You'll be amazed at the difference between an ordinary grin and a dazzling white smile on your wedding day!
So there you have it. Cover the wedding photography well by making sure that all functions like clockwork. The fees, the photographer's style, references - deal with them in advance so you don't lose sleep during and after the ceremony. Groom yourself properly making sure that your hair, wedding dress, suit, and teeth are immaculate. Then go have a blast!Richard P.
