SYTYCD Pre-Season 7 thread: CASTING SPOILERS

**KikiSashaFan** · 03-29-2010, 10:25 PM

Nigel is going to tweet the 10 all stars over the new few weeks. IMO some of the best alums are Travis (2), Allison(2), Danny(3), Jeanine(5), Pasha(3), Anya(3), Will(4), Natalie (2), Kathryn(6), Jakob(6) and Blake(1), but Blake has already said he's not doing it, and I'm sure many others have commitments of some sort. I'll bet Katee will be an All Star, Nigel's obsessed with her.

ETA- Travis has confirmed he will NOT be an all star, he will be a choreographer.

**tarotx** · 03-30-2010, 09:53 AM

Kayla will be. I almost guarantee if she's free to work she'll be on. I think also Alison, Jamie and Katee. Though all 4 of those ladies are pretty much the same style so perhaps not. I don't think the all stars are being judged so they are just professional dancers like DWTS's have. I think Pasha and Anya will be chosen if they are free. I hope so any way!

**Aceon6** · 03-30-2010, 12:34 PM

I hope we see Sara again, she was the most versatile female they've ever had.

**Rob** · 03-30-2010, 04:06 PM

They'll need a variety of styles so they can't have 4 contemporary women if the all-stars will always dance in their own styles. Unless the pool of all-stars is more than 10 and we see different ones each week. I could see Russell being in there for hip hop & krump. But I would love to see Joshua again.

I would be stunned if we don't see all the past winners, with the possible exception of Sabra. Then other favorites like Katee, Twitch, Pasha and Kayla. I think it sounds like a stupid format, but we will see how it all pans out.

**Rob** · 03-30-2010, 04:45 PM

Nick - Contemporary
Benji - WCS
Sabra - contemporary but she's kinda dropped off the radar screen so I agree she's iffy
Joshua - Hip Hop
Jeanine - Contemporary
Russell - Krump

They'd need a female hip hop, a female ballroom/latin, a real male ballroom/latin. So either Pasha/Anya or Ryan/Ashleigh fit in there. Female hip hop? Donyelle, Sara, Comfort who else?

And would they consider the latin people to be the disco "specialists" or do they bring in someone like Janette who can do a variety of things.

And does this mean they never do Bollywood or folk again, because they don't have specialists for those?

**Rob** · 03-30-2010, 06:01 PM

That would be a drag. I doubt they'd do Russian again, but Bollywood has become a staple. I guess they could do a group Bollywood or the finals could have Bollywood - they are apparently going to dance with each other at the end.

**Rob** · 03-30-2010, 06:03 PM

Nigel has named the first All Star. It is

One more tomorrow.

So the contestants will ALWAYS be paried with a 'specialist'?

Here's what worries me: whenever Travis choreographs for the show, the judges spend sp much time going ape-shit over his choreography (and it's true, a lot of it has been really great) that they barely comment on the dancers. I foresee a LOT of gushing about how perfect the specialists are (and a lot of patting on the back about how SYTYCD made them what they are today), and a lot of either not commenting on the person who is there to be judged, or unfair comparisons to their partner. Also, if a pairing isn't very good, I'm guessing it'll end up being the fault of the current contestant when it might just be a crappy pairing that the judges made.

Also bummed if this means no more Bollywood or other niche style that they don't have a SYTYCD alum to specialize in.

**Rob** · 03-30-2010, 10:46 PM

It would also be a little

if someone is suddenly a specialist in Bollywood just because they did it once on the show and on tour.

**KikiSashaFan** · 03-30-2010, 10:57 PM

I've read that Jaimie has a pretty severe knee injury, but I don't know the full extent, so she might be okay by May.

SYTYCDism is reporting a rumor that none of the past winners are included. But no one knows so its just speculation at this point, not a spoiler.

**Allskate** · 03-30-2010, 11:24 PM

Rumor from SYTYCDism is that Lauren (no shock there), Courtney, and Allison are going to be part of the show. Also not surprising, Danny reportedly has not been invited to take part.

I wish they'd bring Mark in to choreograph.

**BaileyCatts** · 03-31-2010, 03:00 AM

Ugh. I hate Lauren. Totally reminds me of a beyotch at work who I cannot stand and who not only kinda looks like her ... she even has the same name.

So because of that I can't stand her.

**tarotx** · 03-31-2010, 03:39 AM

I forgot about Lauren. Of course she'll be included. I love me some Allison and Danny though. And Twitch when he's dancing hip hop.

I was thinking this too. I mean, if I was a contestant trying to get votes, and I was partnered by and thus being inevitably compared to the SYTYCD ultimate "expert" in the style given.....heck-that's really stacking things against the contestants, isn't it? I mean, bring back the all stars, but don't make the contestants have to compete with them, figuratively anyway, as well as the other contestants! Feels like a basic design flaw.

Only 2 I do not want to see are Kayla and Kerrington- 2 "Ks".....dislike at a visceral level. Go figure-don't know why. But I love me some blonde girls like Chelsie and Heidi!

**AshleyN** · 03-31-2010, 03:10 PM

Crossing my fingers so much for Anya and Pasha to be the ballroom representatives.

So, three of the five females are contemporary/jazz? And those are the best three they wanted to/could get back? The only one that excites me is Allison.

Also, that sucks about Danny.

**DustPuppyOI** · 03-31-2010, 03:46 PM

Has anyone heard about what Joshua has been up to? I haven't seen much of him lately.

**AYS** · 03-31-2010, 07:50 PM

What exactly is the problem between Danny and the show (there obviously is one, because they never mention him the way they do other great participants from the show) - does the rumor mill have anything to say about this? Did he leave with bad feelings because of the whole way he was presented as "arrogant", or did something else happen?
