Ashley Valerio

The save was an easy option this round but I struggled a bit on deciding who to cut. But I did decide on Ashley Valerio, as again, I was never really much of a fan of her during her time on SYTYCD. Ashley is a Contemporary dancer from Season 5. Ashley was partnered with Kupono and she only lasted two weeks in the season. She danced a Jazz to “Felt Mountain,” which was one of those routines I never got and found overrated thus leading me to eliminating Ashley here. Then she also danced a Hip-Hop to “Imma Be.” She was in the Bottom 3 against Caitlin and Kayla and was eliminated over them which I was totally fine with as I liked Caitlin and Kayla. Ashley probably did have potential to be a rally good contestant had she lasted longer - and she is really pretty.

 

I will link her “Felt Mountain” routine since I still thought that was a good dance and at least Kupono was good in that.

Ashley’s run was great. She killed the jazz and her part on the hip hop was great too.. she had a great solo too but the judges preferred to save Caitlin after her horrible hip hop

 

I will be saving Maks and cutting Ashley

Snejana "Snow" Urbin (Season 1)

Snow is a Latin Ballroom goddess that hails from Siberia, Russia. Snow may not have had a single good duet while on the first season of the show, but this sort of worked out in her favor. Because Snow landed in the bottom after all three of her routines, she was forced to actually perform three solos. Since you know, the show still cared about solos back during Season 1. This is where Snow cemented herself as a SYTYCD legend. Three solos. Three magical solos. The best of which is her Cha Cha to "Ma Ya Hi." Incredible. Honestly. To this day, Snow still ranks as one of the best soloists on the show. There is no reason to comment on her three routines. Hip-Hop, Quickstep, then Hip-Hop. But who cares? Because her solos. <3

SAVING: Megz Alfosno (Season 12)

As much as the Wade duet was hyped, Ashley's best moment was murdering the Mia Michaels contemporary group piece while making crazy faces. I wish they had showcase episodes for the early seasons.

Awww I don't remember this. :haha: But I barely remember group routines in general.

 

:dead:

 

When the judges hyped him up as Mark 2.0 but he was really Discount!Mark :giggle:

:dead:

 

Caitlin and Kupono should’ve gone that week, pairing Jason & Ashley tbh.

That's fair, although I can't imagine any other guy in Eyes On Fire and Gravity. Kupono was perfect in those routines. We won't talk about anything else. :giggle:

They were contemporary routines, Wally. I’m sure Max and/or Jason would’ve been perfectly fine in them.

 

Also @Amanda, Andrew and I are driving back to Kingston tomorrow and it’s a ten hour drive, so I won’t get my nominations up until Sunday if this round isn’t done by the time I go to bed.

Andrew has Carlos Garland vs. Robert Green

 

I also still need the Adechike and Ashley Rich write-ups. (!)

Ashley Rich is one of the 9 contemporary/jazz girls that competed on season 8 of the show. Ashley was paired with hip hop dancer Chris Koehl where they danced a total of 4 routines together. For their first routine, they did a Christopher Scott hip hop routine to F*ck you that was horribly choreographed but I guess they did the best they could. The following week they did a really great broadway routine that was easily the highlight of their run and was also reprised on the finale. For their third routine, they did a Sonya Tayeh jazz piece that I've always really liked and find it quite underrated around here. During their final week, Nigel & Co decided to buss them by giving them a salsa routine while all the other couples got to repeat a style they had done before. Unfortunately for Ashley and Chris, the salsa was not good and they got cut. Ashley's solo were pretty but nothing memorable. I think Ashley had potential to deliver better routines but unfortunately she was not a judges favorite and was never meant to last more than what she did

For placing 4th place I can never remember him or apparently remember to do a write up for him oops. He placed fourth ugh place behind Robert, Kent and queen Lauren Froderman. He is a good dancer no denying that but the love many people give him I just don't get it at all. This isn't the first time I have cut him and probably wouldn't be the last if I ever did another rankdown. I just find his work overrated and not great. Oh well no big loss here many stronger contemporary dancers remain for us to cut or save so bye Ade.. Still think he benefited from Alex Wong being inured or he wouldn't have made it as far as he did season 7 shrugs. He aged well there is a postive
