Natalie is so annoying, even her mere presence. Dmitry’s girlfriend should be angry. Jaymz!!!! Nice to see Jessica also. Travis love.

Is Jessica and Jaymz joining the tour? Or just that everyone was in the kick-off party?

It would be great if jessica & jaymz were part of the tour. Like any play or musical, you need to have alternates in case any of the main people are sick, injured, etc. Given all the injuries, I don’t think any of the top 10 can do all 35 shows during the tour.

Hey Rickey! Just wanted to make sure you were aware that Ivan is going to be on Ellen today at 3 (Channel 10) and at 4 (Channel 4). I live in Jersey so the times are right. Just giving a heads up! Keep it up with the site! I check back everyday.

It’s SOOO obvious that Dmitry and Natalie are hooking up

Dmitry and Natalie DO look alarmingly cozy in these pics…how did this rumor start? He wrote a blog denying it on his MySpace page. I’m going to the NY show on Oct 4 and he’s pretty much the reason I’m going. I didn’t much care for Natalie before I heard this news and now I really don’t. Blech! Dmitry is soooo sexy, and that accent!

The Seattle Times interview with Benji today said that he turned down the Celine show.
He said:
“That really wasn’t my genre of dance…It’s an honor, [but] that’d be like an environmental lawyer with a contract to represent O.J. Simpson.”

The article is on their online edition at:

Jessica and Jaymz are the understudies for the tour. They are on tour and you can catch them if the cast goes out and does autographs or anything like that (which they did in Seattle), but you won’t see them onstage unless one of the actual top 10 is unable to perform.

J & J were super sweet and looked like they were pumped to be on tour.

READ THIS IF YOU’RE SEEING THE TOUR:

Buy your souvenirs FIRST (or else end up waiting forever at the end of the show). I got to the show late, but I stopped at the one and only souvenir stand before finding my seat since it was right there in the lobby and no one was in line. I remember thinking that I should really wait to get my souvenirs and run in and catch as much of the show as possible (I ended catching the tail end of the last dance number of the 2nd half; if I’d gone in immediately, I would’ve gotten there for the entire dance number).

Anyway, after the show was over, I saw a HUGE crowd waiting in line at the only souvenir stand. Actually, in line wouldn’t be a good description; a huge MASS waiting their turns at the one and only souvenir stand. I’m not kidding, it looked like about a 30-minute wait had I chosen to join that crowd. Also, you run a greater risk of the stand running out of what you want if you wait until the end. There was a 10-15 minute intermission so you might also want to get your stuff then (I’d run to the souvenir stand so you don’t run the risk of still being there when intermission is over).

Some of the available souvenirs (always cash only, BTW) — Long-sleeve black zipfront hoodie that says “I know I can dance” across the back, $40 (only available in sizes up to large); pink and black SYTYCD t-shirts, $30 (pink is only one available up to XXL); programs, $15; wristbands (I don’t know what they cost). There were a few other things, but I don’t remember what they were since I wasn’t interested in them.

Again, only one, count’em ONE, souvenir stand at LA show so there’s a good chance there may only be one at the other shows so you’ll want to get your souvenirs as quickly as possible.

That pic on Anothonys my*space, thats actually a pic of Travis’ brother
(doesn’t look like Travis AT ALL)

Erin on September 25, 2006 at 8:52 pm

1) yep-that is totally Travis’ brother-check out his mother’s myspace page for confirmation on that.

2) in Chicago, Jessica was on stage for a considerable amount of time-taking the spot of Danyelle. Danyelle performed all her solo and partnered dances-and most of the more famous group dances—but every now and then we’d look and POOF she was gone. In her place-Jessica. Danyelle was even missing for the bow! Which was weird, since just minutes before her and Benji performed “You Can’t Stop the Beat.” I wonder if her injury is acting up again….

In addition to the Top 10 last night at Madison Square Garden in NYC, Jessica and Jaymz performed, although they weren’t anounced.
