I picked Lex for the win early on, but this season top four is amazing! Best dance of the night was Lex and Taylor who announced they had fallen in love during the show!

Contributing

Writer, BuddyTV So

You Think You Can Dance season 14 is almost ready to

crown "America's Favorite Dancer." Last time,

Kaylee Millis of Team Cyrus and Logan Hernandez from Team

Allison were sent home.

  That

means that Lex Ishimoto , Koine "Koko" Iwasaki,

Taylor Sieve and Chris "Kiki" Nyemchek will dance

for your votes and the So

You Think You Can Dance crown

Are you ready, dance fans? This is the So

You Think You Can Dance live blog!

We kick off with a fun group hip-hop routine,

choreographed by NappyTabs, that is a real crowd-pleaser. It

even shows the judges dancing and waving their glow

sticks.Cat

looks smashing, as always.

The contestants will dance with each other in

varied combinations, dance with their All-Star in their

favorite season 14 routine and perform a solo. Viewer votes

from last time will be combined with votes from this

episode.

  Now

let's welcome the judges -- Mary Murphy , Vanessa

Hudgens and Nigel Lythgoe .

Group Dance: Koine, Kiki, Taylor and Lex

Choreographed

by Travis Wall and Christopher Scott

  I am

already excited! Koine will portray Earth, and Taylor is

wind. Kiki will play fire, and Lex is water. Koine is

dancing in sand, while Lex dances in a shower of water.

Taylor floats above the stage on a rope while wind swirls

around her. They all perform beautifully, and I have

chills.How to Vote

You can super vote at FOX.com/Dance or on the FOX Now

app. Voting begins at the end of the show and is open until

9am Pacific Time Tuesday morning. Get voting!

Taylor and Kiki

Cha-Cha

choreographed by Anya Garnis

  This

is Taylor and KikI's first time dancing together and,

unfortunately, it shows. The connection between them is sort

of lukewarm, and Taylor seems uncomfortable. Mary

compliments Taylor's sharpness, except for a little

snafu near the end, and Mary puts her on the hot tamale

train. Nigel praises Kiki's command of the dance and his

partnering skills.Lex and Koine

Broadway

choreographed by Al Blackstone

  This

number is about the love of pizza, with Lex portraying a

pizza delivery man. This breezy routine is filled with

humor, and this duo really sells the characters. They also

earn a standing ovation from the judges. Nigel praises how

much Lex has grown.  Mary is impressed by Koine's

ability to make her performance feel organic and natural.

She also proclaims that this routine is one of her all-time

favorites. That is high praise indeed.Kiki and All-Star Jenna

Contemporary

choreographed by Mandy Moore

  Kiki

and Jenna reminisce about his So

You Think You Can Dance journey and how far he has come

since his rocky time at the Academy. Kiki loves this routine

because it forces him to grow the most. Jenna and Kiki are

stunning in this simple and emotional piece. They also earn

a standing ovation from the judges. Cat notices that Jenna

is sobbing and asks Jenna why she is so emotional. Jenna is

sad because she "loves dancing with him." Okay, I

am officially getting teary-eyed. Vanessa praises Kiki's

choice of routine and his connection with Jenna. Mary is

also emotional, and she tells him that he has surrendered

even more to the dance this time.Solo: Lex

Lex's mother expresses how proud she is of her

son and all his hard work. He is certainly taking no

prisoners and utilizes every pulse of music in this

energetic routine.Koine with All-Star Marko

African-Jazz

choreographed by Sean Cheesman

Koine reflects on how difficult it was both emotionally and

physically at the Academy. Koine also struggled with

self-doubt at the start of the live shows. This piece, about

an insect, is full of lifts and complex movements. Nigel

raves about Koine's versatility. Vanessa tells Koine

that she "could not stop thinking" about this

routine.Solo: Kiki

Kiki's parents are so proud of him and all his hard

work. Kiki's masculine and passionate paso doble wows

the crowd.

 Group

Routine: The All-Stars

Choreographed

by Keone and Mari

  I

love this hip-hop piece and its old-school feel.Koine and Taylor

Jazz

choreographed by Mandy Moore

  This

piece is about girl power, and it is sensual and sexy. The

judges award another standing ovation. Nigel mentions that

Mary and Vanessa are performing this routine during the

finale (in his dreams!). Nigel comments on what a great job

Koine and Taylor did with such a difficult routine. Vanessa

calls it "the ultimate female empowerment

routine," and she also praises the Bob Fosse

movements.Lex and Kiki

Hip-Hop

choreographed by Luther Brown

  This

routine is full of swag, and I am impressed that Kiki is

almost keeping up with Lex. This duo also wins a standing

ovation from the judges. Mary likes the routine and pretty

much says that she thinks either Kiki or Lex will win the

cash prize. Wow! Nigel is impressed with how down-to-earth

Lex is, and he has a special surprise for Kiki. He shows the

footage of Kiki's infamous hip-hop routine at the

Academy and praises how far Kiki has come. Lex and Kiki also

take a moment to wish Luther a happy birthday!Taylor

and All-Star Robert

Contemporary

choreographed by Travis Wall

Taylor always dreamed of being on the show, and she found

that performing in front of the All-Stars was extremely

stressful.  Taylor believes that this routine has given her

the confidence to continue in the competition. Taylor once

again demonstrates her control and strength, and the

connection between Robert and Taylor is fantastic. The

judges again give a standing ovation, and even Travis is

blown away. Mary loves the routine and applauds how Taylor

"melted into every transition." Nigel tells the

duo that this is the best that they have danced.Solo: Koine

Koine's parents express how proud they are of

her. Koine's solo showcases her graceful

movements.Lex and All-Star Gaby

Tap

choreographed by Anthony Morigerato

  Lex

recalls his decision to freestyle his audition and the

criticism of Lex not showing his personality enough once the

live shows started.  His favorite routine is this tap

routine that recalls the era of Fred Astaire and Ginger

Rogers. It is delightful and garners a standing ovation from

the judges. Nigel loves it. Vanessa calls the duo

"magical

Solo:

Taylor

Taylor's parents state how proud they are of her and how

she inspires them. This solo is not very energetic and

appears lackluster compared to the other solos.Koine and Kiki

Contemporary

choreographed by Travis Wall

  This

number details a love relationship from its first blush

until it fractures. This performance is emotional and

dramatic. I love it. Mary tells the duo that, with this

routine, they are peaking. Nigel calls Kiki

"brilliant" and tells Koine that she has employed

good acting skills in all her performances.Taylor and Lex

Contemporary

choreographed by Mia Michaels

  This

routine is about a love affair, and apparently Taylor and

Lex won't have to employ their acting skills because

they are in a relationship. That is amazing! Their

performance is sweet and lovely. Cue the standing ovation!

Nigel compliment their "dive kiss" and the beauty

of the routine. Vanessa tells the couple that they will

always reflect on this routine and think of their

relationship.

I taped it and kind of skipped through. Seemed like a typical first show of the season. I agree Barbara had the hardest time but she sure had fun! I'd be surprised to see TO go out first just because he should get the football fans votes. The judges votes were all pretty similar. Once The Voice comes back I probably won't watch much. I agree Victoria was amazing I expect her to be there a long time!

 We;;I

probably still root for the Shark but wow she is not good

and reminded me of Charo also,.I did

like and will root for her-- Victoria Arlen. wow she cant

feel her legs yet she can dance. and she has a great one to

help her Great they put her with Maxim.I don't think Barbara will be eliminated the

first night BUT between her and TO- one of them gotta go.

Like with Charo they may keep her ,well at least till the

next vote off. I do think TO will be first out. next

Monday  Drew Scott might just be the second night if

Barbara doesn't go.

 'Dancing

with the Stars' Season 25 Premiere Recap: The First

Dances

Monday,

September 18, 2017

John Kubicek

Senior

Writer, BuddyTV The opening number, choreographed by recent Emmy

winner Mandy Moore, introduces everyone in a huge routine on

the studio back lot. The highlight is when Nick Lachey and

Maks pull a literal wife swap for their partners.

Terrell Owens and Cheryl Burke: Cha-Cha-Cha

T.O.

is known for his showy touchdown dances while Cheryl is

eager to prove in her 20th season as a pro that she's

still got it. There's a very big height difference that

causes some issues in rehearsals. He has a huge smile and

very fluid movements. There's a lot of potential here.

Len Goodman was very entertained, but he needs to straighten

his legs and stand taller.

The

judges point out that there were heel leads, which is a

no-no in Latin dances. Erin Andrews is back to being a

fabulous trainwreck, getting confused about whether heel

leads are good or bad.

Judges'

Scores: 5+5+5=15

Wow,

the judges are starting out VERY harsh this season. I

didn't think it was that bad.

Debbie Gibson and Alan Bersten: Foxtrot

The

'80s pop star is here because she was recently diagnosed

with Lyme disease and wants to find the joy in performing

again. It's Alan's first year as a pro and he was

born in 1994, so he doesn't really get her '80s

vibe. It's classy, but Alan does most of the work and

it's hard to tell how good she'll be since it's

just a lot of spinning. Bruno Tonioli loves their chemistry

and wants to see them get nasty. He advises her to work on

her arms and arching her back. I appreciate that the judges

are offering constructive, technical criticism.

Judges'

Scores: 6+5+6=17

Hey,

it's better than T.O.

Sasha Pieterse and Gleb Savchenko: Cha-Cha-Cha

The

Pretty

Little Liars star is the daughter of professional

ballroom dancers, but she doesn't quite follow in their

footsteps. She's getting married next year and is using

the show to get into wedding shape. The dance looks a little

clunky to me and she tries to overcome it with a lot of

sass. Carrie Ann Inaba loves her sexiness, but she lost her

time at the start. Meh, I think the judges are going to like

her a lot more than I do.

Judges'

Scores: 6+6+6=18

Well,

the scores are going up very slowly.

Drew Scott and Emma Slater: Foxtrot

One

half of the Property

Brothers, Drew is very dorky. He's getting married

soon and even though there's a big height difference,

his karate background is helpful. His dancing is very fun to

watch in a weird, silly kind of way, but it's not very

good. He's too tall and thin, so he looks like a string

bean flopping around. Len calls him a fixer-upper and he

lacks finesse.

Judges'

Scores: 6+5+5'16

Either

we're starting with the bad dancers or this is not going

to be a great season for actual dancing.

Barbara Corcoran and Keo Motsepe: Salsa

The

Shark

Tank businesswoman is a cougar who lusts after Keo. They

are really playing up that she has the hots for young men.

They dance to a Ludacris song while money rains down on

them, and it's just excruciating. She's a mess and

it's kind of embarrassing that a successful

businesswoman is reduced to a horny old lady. This is like

the second coming of Charo , and I don't mean that as a

compliment.

Judges'

Scores: 5+4+5-14

Yikes,

a 4.

Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold: Tango

He

can dance and she hasn't had a partner her own age in a

long time, so she's excited that she might have a shot

at finally winning the Mirror Ball. The Tango is a tough

first dance, but he's intense and bursting with charisma

and hot moves. The competition just officially began. Carrie

Ann squeals with delight and praises that he was in control

the whole time with a lot of swagger.

Judges'

Scores: 8+7+7=22

After

nothing but 4s, 5s and 6s, Jordan breaks through in a big

way. These two should start planning their finale Freestyle

right now.

Nick Lachey and Peta Murgatroyd: Cha-Cha-Cha

His

brother Drew is in the audience holding his Mirror Ball from

season 2 and they hype Nick up as the frontrunner. Both Nick

and Vanessa get a combined package as the married couple

meet their partners, another married couple. Peta brags

about how she has two wins and Maks only has one. Dancing

makes Nick a little uneasy, but he's excited to

challenge himself as an example to his kids.

Nick

has solid natural rhythm and a lot of potential, but his

moves definitely need some polish. This definitely looks

like a first dance. Len admires that he went for it and he

likes the strong attack, but there were a few issues.

Judges'

Scores: 6+6+6=18

Erin

shows a clip from 2009 when Nick said he'd never do this

show.

Vanessa Lachey and Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Cha-Cha-Cha

Vanessa

has a lot more personality than Nick and she's excited

to do this for herself because she spends so much time being

a mom and a wife. Her personality reminds me a bit of Leah

Remini , in a good way, irreverent and wacky. She has some

sweet, sexy moves and I like the theme of a mother breaking

free. Bruno likes that it was a proper Cha-Cha-Cha with a

lot of solid technique.

Judges'

Scores: 7+7+7=21

After

tonight, I kind of hope she lasts longer than Nick. Maks

tries to play nice, but Erin wants to make Nick vs. Vanessa

into a blood sport.

Frankie Muniz and Witney Carson: Foxtrot

Witney

loves Agent Cody Banks and he's OK with that. He broke

some bones while racing cars and is trying hard to come out

of his shell. They make a cute couple and he's

surprisingly good, with a lot of passion and amazing

chemistry. Carrie Ann thinks it was endearing and

beautiful.

Judges'

Scores: 7+6+6=19

The

fact that he's in the Top 3 after nine couples is

impressive.

Nikki Bella and Artem Chigvintsev: Tango

When

they met, Nikki body slammed Artem in the ring. The WWE

superstar is engaged to John Cena, but this is way outside

of her comfort zone. She's a sexy bad-ass who is

basically wearing red lingerie and it ends with her tossing

him to the ground. Len likes the body contact and tells her

to stop looking down.

Judges'

Scores: 7+7+6=20

Did

the judges get nicer as the night went on or did they just

save the talented stars for the end?

Derek Fisher and Sharna Burgess: Salsa

Sharna

knows that basketball players haven't done well and

she's hoping to change that. His mom is a huge fan who

freaks out over her son being on the show. Derek has energy

and swagger, but the moves are a little awkward. Bruno

thinks it lacked some roundness.

Judges'

Scores: 6+6+6=18

I

suspect if T.O. got to perform this late, he would've

gotten 6s too.

Victoria Arlen and Val Chmerkovskiy: Cha-Cha-Cha

This

ESPN repor5er and former Paralympic athlete was paralyzed

for 10 years, but re-learned how to walk just one year ago.

She can't feel her legs and even being here is a

miracle. She's very impressive, all things considered,

and it's hard not to be inspired by her. But you can

tell that her legs have issues and they don't move as

quickly as others. Still, Carrie Ann is impressed by her

spirit and the joy of the routine.

Judges'

Scores: 7+6+6=19

Wow,

I definitely thought the judges would be more generous with

her, but I like the restraint.

Lindsey Stirling and Mark Ballas: Cha-Cha-Cha

The

violinist has appeared on the show as a musical guest, but

now she's dancing. She's kind of goofy and he's

already getting ideas for how to use her violin in routines.

She came to win, with fantastic moves that are sexy and

quick, and kudos to Mark for his creative and fun

choreography. I've missed having him on the show. She

reminds me a lot of another one of Mark's partners,

Paige VanZant . Len calls it the dance of the night.

Judges'

Scores: 7+8+7=22

She

ties Jordan at the top of the leaderboard for the night, and

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up as the Top 2 at

the end of the season.
