Seizoen: 2 - Aflevering: 15 / 38 - Eerst uitgezonden: 15 maart 2009 - Episode ID: 403716

Under intense pressure to make Top 10, some dark horses excelled while the more fancied couples faltered. It’s up to you, Australia. Who are you going to vote into our elite Top 10? And get behind your favourites with Fan Messaging. Top 12 Sunday Night Summary Talia & Loredo were the standouts, finally having the “moment” Matt had been waiting for. Gianne & BJ delivered on both routines but everyone else was up and down. Penny & Charlie were “mesmerising” in Contemporary but “came unstuck” in Hip Hop. Kat & Danny were “gorgeous” in Contemporary but “under” on their Paso Doble. Lamb and Timomatic had a Hip Hop “highlight” but were “exposed” in the Waltz. And Ben & Amy recovered from their “pedestrian” Hip Hop to score with a manic Mambo that “no other couple could have pulled off”. Who proved they have what it takes to go on? You decide. #1 Talia & Loredo tackle Bollywood Fresh from their McDonald’s moment last week, Talia & Loredo were off to Bollywood in a blue-costumed routine choreographed by Ramona Lobo to “Jai Ho” from Slumdog Millionaire. Guest judge, Kelley Abbey, “loves this partnership” and her only criticism was that they needed to “earth” themselves a little more. Matt said “unison is the key” and they’d achieved that – even if Talia’s costume had got caught in one of the lifts. Bonnie was “there in that market square” and thought their lift onto the shoulder was “effortless”. It was “a great routine: so classical, so beautiful”. Jason has spent time studying Indian classical dance and said Talia did “a fantastic job of honouring that discipline”. #2 Kat & Danny – Sarah Boulter Contemporary Dressed in white and yellow to reflect the joyousness of their Sarah Boulter choreography, Kat & Danny danced to Eva Cassidy’s “Over the rainbow”. Matt said the routine was “all about trust” and he “didn’t see one hint of doubt” in either of them. The “unison was gorgeous” and it was “a highlight for you guys” while Bonnie was “just so wrapped in every single thing” they did. Jason loved the routine and told Danny that the lifts were much more complex than those he’d struggled with in the disco routine. He was “absolutely fantastic” and “owned it”. He said Kat’s “shoulders were up” but it was a “great routine, light and lovely”. Kelley agreed, saying it was “fresh, innocent and joyous” and Danny had delivered a “breathtaking moment”. “Divine”. #3 Lamb & Timomatic - Garden of Eden Hip Hop Finally in their own genre, Timomatic’s snake tempted Lamb’s Eve in a Tiana Joubert Hip Hop routine to Keri Hilson’s “Turnin’ me on”. Bonnie thought it was “so synchronised” and that Tim “became the snake” but said his backflip of Lamb had caused her to lose her balance. Jason “loved the routine” but disagreed with Bonnie because “the biggest fault was the unison”. Lamb was “a very very sexy lady” and Tim had done an “amazing job”. “It’s a highlight for you”. Kelley is a “big fan” of Lamb and Tim but also thought “the unison was the problem”. She had some technical notes for Lamb about stretching her knees and wasn’t sure the routine really “got to where it should have”. Matt was also worried about the backflip but thought Lamb “oozed sensuality” and that Tim had “really shone in this”. #4 Gianne & BJ – Jive to Metro Station’s “Shake it” For the 3rd time, Gianne and BJ were dancing Ballroom. This time it was a Jive choreographed by Sandro Catalano to Metro Station’s “Shake it”. Jason said Gianne had “sat into it absolutely beautifully”. He felt BJ had “overdanced” but that’s what Ballroom Boys have to do. They’d both done “a brilliant job”. Kelley said they had “great energy and attack”. She was “so impressed” with self-taught Gianne and BJ had “turned like a top”. But she warned BJ to make sure his facial expressions were “true to your heart”. Matt said BJ had done a “great job of encompassing the ballroom dancer” and Gianne was “gorgeous, fabulous and hot”. Bonnie was the lone dissenting voice, saying she “wasn’t so happy actually”. BJ was “totally where you should be” but Gianne’s “chassés weren’t as clean” as she would have liked. “Only OK from me, I’m afraid.” #5 Penny & Charlie – Debbie Ellis Linnert Lyrical Contemporary Penny & Charlie continued on their magical way in a Debbie Ellis Lyrical piece about best friends danced to Damien Rice’s “Elephant”. Kelley “just loved that” because “it really took me somewhere”. Penny was “so not a cheerleader” and Charlie – or “Chucky Cheese” – was “a hot contender in this competition”. Matt said they had the audience in the palm of your hand” and loved the way they had times when they “smacked it” and times when they “melted”. Bonnie said the audience was “mesmerised” and understood why they had never been in the Bottom 3. Jason said it was a “dancer’s responsibility to evoke emotion and you guys have certainly done that”. Penny was a “much better dancer” than when she started and Charlie had been so much better than in last week’s waltz. #6 Ben & Amy – Fairground Hip Hop For their first dance together, Ben & Amy were out of genre in a Hip Hop routine by Vince Calingasan about a girl playing hard to get in a fairground. The track was “You know what” by N.E.R.D. Matt had thought the partnership of these 2 great dancers would be hot but he was “underwhelmed”. Its “laid back style “didn’t get to me through the screen”. Bonnie disagreed, saying that she really liked its “relaxed feel”. Jason had one word for the routine: “pedestrian”. It had been too “middle of the road” and had “gone nowhere”. Kelley thought they were both “very strong confident” dancers and she liked the “cas” style but it “needed light and shade” to really resonate. #7 Talia & Loredo – Rapunzel Lyrical Jazz For their second routine of the night, Talia & Loredo danced a Lyrical Jazz routine choreographed by Amé Delves to Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” that reinvented the Rapunzel fairy tale. Bonnie said it was “totally magical” and loved the special moment where Talia landed on top of Loredo. Jason “loved it” and had no separate notes because you “danced so beautifully together”. Kelley said their “Indian routine was good. This was great!”. They were “two fine technicians” whose lifts and transitions were “smooth and effortless”. Talia had shown “emotional maturity” and Loredo had shown “more emotion” than he ever had before. It was “just fantastic”. Matt said last week that Talia & Loredo were yet to have a moment. “Moment had”. He said this was a routine Australia would remember, with his one technical note to Loredo to not let his knee drop during attitude turns. “But there’s your moment, guys. Congratulations!” #8 Kat & Danny – Paso Doble For possibly their final dance together, Kat & a black-haired Danny performed their first ballroom piece - a Paso Doble choreographed by Aric and Mascha to “Burly Brawl” by Juno Reactor vs Don Davis. Jason thought Danny did a “great job of encompassing the Paso Doble character” but Kat hadn’t “brought the fire” with her eyes. Kelley felt Danny’s training had his energy sitting in the top half of his body when he needed to “get earthed” a lot more. Matt said Kat had lots of energy but needed to extend her lines. Danny was “strong” but this “was not your greatest performance”. Bonnie again disagreed, thinking that Kat was “absolutely fantastic” and Danny was “proud and regal’. #9 Lamb & Timomatic – Viennese Waltz Having shed his snake skin, Timomatic teamed with Lamb in a Viennese Waltz by Leeanne Bampton to Coldplay’s “Sparks”. Kelley said they’d achieved the “float” but it was “a bit exposing” for Lamb because her flat shoes had emphasised her unpointed feet. For a self-taught dancer, Tim had done “an incredible job”. Matt thought that in coming out of a lift Lamb had had “an ugly moment”. Bonnie thought Timomatic had struggled with the ¾ time. Lamb was an “expert dancer” but was concerned about moments that “didn’t look extremely elegant”. Jason thought Lamb would be “disappointed” in her Developpe and she needed to point her feet. But Tim had done a much better job in the Waltz than Charlie. An emotional Lamb said she wanted to continue the journey but kept "stuffing up little things". #10 Gianne & BJ – Adam Williams Broadway Jazz For their 2nd routine of the night, Gianne & BJ were in the hands of Adam Williams, dancing a highly theatrical Broadway Jazz routine to “Arthur in the afternoon” by David Loud & Karen Ziémba. Matt said it was “one of my favourite routines of the night”. Gianne was “just a chameleon” and BJ was “such a strong dancer” who totally fitted into Broadway. Bonnie thought Gianne displayed her “versatility” and said it “took guts” for BJ to embrace the routine as he had. Jason said “that’s entertainment”. He didn’t’ even notice the dancing because he was so with Gianne’s character. He’d seen BJ’s little slip but he’d left it behind as dancers have to do. Kelley said they’d done a “fantastic job” but that towards the end she’d seen them thinking “here comes the tricky bit”. “But the rest of it was just fabulous.” #11 Penny & Charlie – Hip Hop Thieves Penny & Charlie have been the stars of the competition but in this Hip Hop routine by Yannus to 50 Cent’s “Get up” they slipped up. Jason said “there was very little unison”, and that either Charlie had overdanced or Penny had underdanced. Kelley is a big fan of them both but the “unison was out” so it “didn’t fire”. Charlie was “really good” but she wanted “more pop” from Penny. Matt thought they’d done “extraordinary work” to this point, but that this was their “first downfall”. They’d “come unstuck” and made it look like “hard work”. #12 Ben & Amy – Manic Mambo After their “underwhelming” Hip Hop routine, Ben & Amy had a chance to redeem themselves in a frenetic Mambo by Fabio Robles to “Para Los Rumberos” by Tito Puente. Jason said “the degree of difficulty on that routine was up there” and felt it should be like the Olympics where their scores were multiplied to reflect their achievement. Amy had “barely put a foot wrong” in the competition and Ben was “the best male partner”. Kelley agreed it was incredibly difficult and that they’d stayed “pretty clean”. Matt thought that “if anyone left in our Top 12 could have pulled that off, it could only have been you two”. Bonnie thought they did it “expertly”. Top 10 Countdown begins If you want to know how much Top 10 means to our dancers, read their blogs this week. Loredo is “stressed”, Charlie can “taste” it and Kat said it’s like “waving a dummy in front of a baby”. But now it’s out of their hands. Only you can decide who is safely through to the final stages of the competition. Make sure you vote – and be there at 7.30 on Monday night to find out who will have their dreams fulfilled.
