This is just fun.
A ballet dancer and a hip hopper rocking out.

ETA: Dick Clark stole my video. Not cool, Dick. I'll see if I can sneak one by him later. Maybe upload to my photobucket or something.
Fixed? Maybe.

One True Pairing Ship:
Kara/Leoben, they're going here because they're not exactly canon are they? More like psuedo-canon. The chemistry was scorching hot and I just could never get enough of them. Honestly, why did the show not give them at least a single scene to tie up that storyline in the back half[third?] of season four? Leoben just faded into the background in the end there. He even wore black to make it easier.

Canon Ship:
I liked Kara/Sam and Lee/Kara respectively but I wouldn't call them my faves. Tigh and Ellen were pretty epic as far as pairings go. I mean, they loved each other through time. That's epic. I also loved Athena/Helo and even Baltar/Six in the end. As awesome as all these pairing were/could be/are, none of them are what I'm passionate about.

"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
I would say Cavil/Boomer but OH WAIT. It actually frakking happened! Whut? More than anything it absolutely ruined Boomer's character for me. Not that she hadn't already been down some dark and twisty roads, but the affair with Cavil being the driving motivator behind some of her actions, and also making her into some kind of pawn he was only using to further his cause, just sucks. Not to mention, gross!

"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
Tory/Baltar. Just no. No. Emphatically no!

"I dabble a little LOT" Ship:
Sam/Ellen, Tyrol/Sam, & Sam/Duck. Why is Sam my rotating character who I can pair with just about anybody? I don't know, but I like it. And these three ships are almost as near and dear to my heart as Kara/Leoben are. THEY ARE TIED FOR SECOND PLACE!

"It's like a car crash" Ship:
Baltar/Six. Just the sixes in general. Angel!Six, Caprica!Six, Gina. [I loved Gina.]

"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
Helo/Kara, Tigh/Kara. Sold, but it's really just a tickle.

"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
I love the idea of Racetrack/Sam, especially circa his pilot training. But then there's the whole thing where she's a total cylon racist. So it doesn't work out. But I just think it adds to the potential angst... haha. [Also, Cally/Jammer. What?]

"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
Roslin/Adama & Gaeta/Baltar. Yeah I just don't feel it. I think I liked the idea of Roslin and Adama when they were these strong [yet vulnerable] leaders who were both hard-headed but trying to do what was right. In that way, they made sense. But in the end I just felt like they both kind of became these enablers who were completely lost in their own personal dramas and feelings and were honestly no longer fit to lead. And all of that just really soured the relationship for me.

ETA: Also, it feels like EVERYONE in this fandom multi-ships Gaeta with just about everybody. And I just do not get it! Why? It bores me. BORES ME.

"When all is said and done" Ship:
Kara/Leoben, Ellen/Sam, Sam/Duck, Tyrol/Sam
YEAH.

I swear Leoben/Kara is canon. Swear it. No one will convince me otherwise.

Tigh/Ellen is fabulous. I loved those two together.

I would say Cavil/Boomer but OH WAIT. It actually frakking happened!

I had that whole memory blocked. Things for bringing it back up again *vomits*

I would like to point out that I had forgotten half of these ships in existence. It's quite sad.

Four episodes in? I'm not sure I can do it! Haha.

One True Pairing Ship:
Graham and Moira. They're pretty adorable and seem to have a true connection. I like them both a lot and I hope that both of them get more screentime in the coming episodes and that neither of them turn out to be evil.

Canon Ship:
As predictable as Janet and Joe is, I do like it! And I think it kind of qualifies as canon. They have "slept together."

"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
Charlie and Bill? I don't even know, haha.

"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
I kind of actually like the idea of Tori and the Night Clerk. Especially how he so obviously wanted something to happen and yet he couldn't degrade her like that so he stopped it.

"I dabble a little" Ship:
Hmm. I would say Tori and Graham. They had a nice moment.

"It's like a car crash" Ship:
Taxi Driver/Bigass Truck [Not cool, KC. Not cool.]

"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
Janet and Renbe. Though it's not like they've even shared a scene.

"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
Tom [Reggie Lee, who plays the head cook] and Joe. YEAH.

"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
Not applicable?

"When all is said and done" Ship:
Moira/Graham

Hahaha, I had to look up his name. But yeah, I was sensing some sexual tension between them. [Okay, okay. It was JUST tension, whatever. Slash goggles.]

Thanks for posting this, I am such a sucker for good dance routines. This shows why ballet dancers are so amazing, the level of skill is unparalleled. No way the hiphopster would be able to learn a ballet piece in the same time to the same standard.

Yeah I think Ballet is one style they never really do on the show for the weekly dances, haha. Wonder why!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Alex is awesome, and he and Twitch were incredible. Adam's reaction was almost better than the dance itself. :-)

I'm not sure that I'm sold on the show's new format, because I think the show used to be about building a relationship with a partner, and the audience got to watch that trust and confidence develop, and now it's much more...individualized? *shrugs*

And thank you for not posting the video of Billy's krump routine. LOL.

I haven't actually seen it! I haven't caught a lot of this season. My parents watch and the last time I've watched regularly was halfway through Ade's season. [I loved him and Melissa.] I remember liking Alex from the tryouts of that season [but then he couldn't get out of his contract] but this season I haven't seen any of his performances except for this one and the group performances on the first "real" show night. I kind of feel like I should go back and catch up, but I'm not sure if I have the motivation to do so! Haha.

Billy's kind of weird. And the other "tiny" dude too. He's blonde. I can't remember his name but he danced to the song I shared in the post before this one. The judges seem to love them both but I don't know. I can't speak much for their dancing cause I haven't seen many of the performances this year. I'm sure they're good. [They're all good.] The blonde one just looks too small for his clothes... lol.

Ade and Melissa were wonderful. And that ridiculously awesome routine that Tice did for them would not have worked if they hadn't been dancing together for weeks.

Ade's one of the all-stars they've invited back, which is the best part of the new format for me. ♥

They really were. I liked them a lot but was kind of "meh" about the rest of the cast which is why I quit watching that season.

I got to go to the tour concert, and watching them dance was the best part!

Oh I'm so wrong, Billy is the one who danced to that song. See I am so unversed in this season that I'm getting them confused.

One True Pairing Ship:
Abby/Henry. I do love them. I prefer he weren't a sociopathic serial killer though, so generally I like to pretend he's not.

Canon Ship:
Cal/Chloe and Abby/Jimmy. I can't deny them.

"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
Anything with Wakefield? I like Callum. But there's nothing redeemable about Wakefield. I can't even manage to pretend he's not completely evil like I can with Henry. Just doesn't work for me!

"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
Abby/Henry in the "he's still a killer" way. Like I said, I like to live in the land of delusion where he's not. I wouldn't ship them the other way. I've seen some noncon [or bordering at least] fic with them and ugh, not my cuppa. No thanks.

"I dabble a little LOT" Ship:
I have a million "tied for second" ships in this fandom. Shane/Henry, Shea/Sully!! Shane/Sully, Sully/Henry, Shane/Trish, Shane/Jimmy, Nikki/Shane, Abby/Shane, Abby/Sully. Can you follow all of that?

"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
Shea/Shane? lol

"It's like a car crash" Ship:
Nikki/Sully. Where the fuck did that come from? Totally doesn't interest me.

"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
Henry/Trish I guess.

"When all is said and done" Ship:
Henry/Abby, Shane/Henry, Shea/Sully!! Shane/Sully, Sully/Henry, Shane/Trish, Shane/Jimmy, Nikki/Shane, Abby/Shane, Abby/Sully.

This show for me is like multi-shippers paradise.

Multi-shipping ftw! Heh. I approve.

Wakefield is absolutely unshippable, as much as I like Callum.

Abby/Henry is ... kind of complicated for me. I liked them, but I only got really interested when I realized that he was a) her brother and obsessed with her and b) a serial killer. But I cannot stomach non-con. Nuh-uh, never. Just ugh. Which makes shipping them basically impossible, I guess. I am weird like that. ;)

From: [identity profile] crickets.livejournal.com
I will take A.1 [her brother], and leave out A.2 [obsessed] and B [killer]. I can do AU non-canon like that. I don't even necessarily need A.1, because I so shipped them before that even became known, haha. But obviously it doesn't bug me.

I also like to pretend that Sully survives and that he and Shea have lots of angst afterwards.

One True Pairing Ship:

"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
Any Wraith/Anyone. People do ship this. I don't get it.

"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
See above.

"I dabble a little" Ship & "Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
Elizabeth/Rodney, Ronon/Jeannie, Sheppard/Rodney, Sheppard/Jeannie [could be interesting, Teyla/Sheppard, Teyla/Ronon, Ronon/Anyone basically,

One True Pairing Ship:
Jessica/Hoyt. I just love them.

Canon Ship:
Gonna have to go with Jessica/Hoyt again. [I really like both Sam/Sookie and Sookie/Alcide in the bookverse.]

"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
Um, I think it just happened.

"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
See above. Also, thank you Maryanne for making me want to bleach my eyes like every episode last season.

"I dabble a little" Ship:
Terry/Arlene is adorable. I consistently enjoy them.

"It's like a car crash" Ship:
I don't know. This whole show?

"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
Tara/Jason.
[Lafayette/Eric? Bill/Sam?]

"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
Sookie/Terry [They're super cute.]

"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
Bill/Sookie or Eric/Sookie. Just don't particularly jump for joy for either ship. Although I'm happy watching them. They just ARE. They don't make me squee even remotely.

"When all is said and done" Ship:
Jessica/Hoyt


He's made an impression and I haven't really seen much of him.
