Denver Auditions

Cat Deeley once again joins the Mile High Club.  That means visiting the Mile High City, right?  The guest judge is Sonya Tayeh, one of last season's new choreographers.

Kayla Radomski
This pretty blonde girl lives with her ultra-supportive grandparents.  She moves around gracefully, putting all that money grandpa spent on dance lessons to work.  There wasn't anything Nigel didn't like, and as always, double negatives are good things.  Nigel doesn't not give her a ticket to Las Vegas.

Sonya Tayeh Montage
The new girl is taking her job to heart, falling hopelessly in love with just about every single dancer.  These dancers make her want to have children and throw daisies and possibly have a cigarette after.

Misha Belfer and Mitchel Kibel
Yes, it's time to break stereotypes with a same sex ballroom team.  As if playing "It's Raining Men" over their segment isn't awkward enough, Misha is gay and Mitchel is straight.  They also try to do a swing move that goes horribly wrong and they both fall.  Nigel has serious issues with man-on-man action, preferring dancers to follow traditional gender roles.  Mary Murphy is also confused because both performers take turns playing the male or female roles.  They're both called back for choreography so they can dance with girls and prevent Nigel's head from exploding.

Choreography Round, Day 1
During the choreography round, they both get eliminated, Wow, first Adam Lambert loses American Idol and now this - it is not a good time to give off a gay vibe.  However, 11 dancers who didn't confuse Nigel's stereotypical gender notions did make it to Las Vegas,

Allison Moist
It's time for insanity as Allison comes out dancing to the Star Wars theme song dressed like a lion and carrying light sabers.  Allison claims she's serious, and either she's truly delusional or this is all one big performance art piece.

Elias and Enoch Holloway
These creepy, ultra-white Mormons are into popping and locking and synchronized swimming because they do everything together, which gets even creepier the more you think about that statement.  Even though Enoch is only 16-years-old and can't audition, he dances on stage to support his big brother.  It's surprisingly not bad and very entertaining in the same way Alex Wagner-Trugman was awesome on American Idol earlier this season.  The judges like the cute Mormon boy and bring him back for choreography.

Natalie Reid
Natalie was 11th girl last season, the last one cut in Las Vegas when her roommate Katee Shean made it through and eventually made it all the way to third place.  As you might imagine, she's still exceptional.  She's one of Sonya's favorite dancers ever.  They give her a ticket to Las Vegas, but based on the way they're talking, the judges should just give her a slot in the Top 20 right away.
                       
Brandon Bryant
Much like Natalie, he was the 11th guy from season 4, cut on the last day while Gev Mandukian made it through.  He's also good, but he's also wearing a leotard with no tights underneath, which is terribly distracting.  Mary Murphy cries a lot and promises to die if he doesn't make it to the Top 20.  He gets his ticket to Las Vegas and that gets us one last huge Mary Scream.  So for everyone counting at home, I put tonight's total at five Mary Screams, or four full ones and two half ones.

Choreography Round, Day 2
Cute Elias is cut, but eight others made it through on day 2, bringing the Denver total to 19.
