I wish a couple had been split up, I would have been OK with either a Susie/Chris departure or a Marquis/Comfort departure just to start mixing things up a
bit.
I hope Kherington and Twitch draw a Mia Michaels contemporary next week. That would be interesting to watch. |

I would have loved to have seen Marquis with Comfort. I guess he wasn't great at partnering, but he really did have a fantastic solo. I wasn't a fan
before, but I was prepared to start rooting for him after tonight.
I love how Nigel said Chris was starting to show his personality yet obviously was having trouble remembering his name. Comfort needs a better partner so hopefully they'll break up a couple in her favor next week. |

Well, I certainly don't disagree with the results, but I don't like the way it went down. I thought that all three guys were good and all three girls
were poor (same as last week). I thought Marquis' solo was the best of the night, and for the judges to say it was just "tricks" was pretty
shitty. Yes, he had tricks -- incredible tricks -- but the way he transitioned from dancing to tricks and back again was amazing. And last year, when Neil,
Danny and Jesus were bottom three, the fact that Neil was all tricks didn't stop them from keeping him and cutting poor Jesus... I don't think that
Marquis is good partner material (at least with a girl), and THAT is the reason he deserved to go home. He deserved to get props for his solo...
And what was with Nigel referring to Thayne, Marquis and Chris as "our 3 contemporary boys. Has he forgotten that Matt, Will and Mark are ALSO contemporary dancers? |

It seems we all agree that the judges are just kinda making things up as they go along to get rid of the few that they just don't care for. I just hope
they do a better job with the show presentation (better camera work and mics that work would be great). I don't recall the last few seasons looking like
they were being produced and directed by a junior high school. Maybe it's just me?

It doesn't matter that they gave Danny some negative criticism (well-earned, IMO), as long as they kept saving his ass every time he hit B3. Face it, if a guy lands in the bottom 3 that often, he is NOT "America's Favorite Dancer"! |

Yeah? So Comfort was good in her style while Susie sucked donkey balls in hers last night. THAT is the reason to get rid of Susie. I almost wish they had said "fuck it" and not even done the solos tonight -- just eliminate Susie and Marquis based solely on how much worse they were than anybody else last night. |

I knew Susie was screwed when she was in the bottom with Chelsea and Comfort. The only chance she had at staying is if Jessica and/or Khourtni (or however you
spell her name) was there with her. Based on the solos, I thought Comfort was the weakest, and I thought the reasoning for keeping her was BS. She stays
because she was great in the group dance? Susie had at least one good dance, whereas the supposed "best female hip-hop dancer ever on the show"
hasn't even had that. I didn't think Chelsea was that great either, but I can understand her staying.
While I don't disagree with them cutting Marquis, I thought the reason they cut him was even more egregious than Susie's. He gets lambasted for doing a bunch of tricks in his, when last season, as has been mentioned, they creamed their pants when Neil did trick after trick in his solos. At least Marquis had some musicality in his solo, whereas Neil practically did the same dance to different music. I thought Marquis blew Thayne and Chris out of the water. If they said they cut him because he wasn't a good partner dancer, I wouldn't have no problem with that, because it was true. Nigel comparing the cut ones to Kobe losing in the NBA Finals. There's nothing like being compared to a MJ wannabe adulterer whose ego broke up a good team and exposed himself as being a terrible leader when things go bad. Who was that guy who was on his head at the end of group routine? I couldn't really tell due to the lighting, but it looked like it was either Gev or Mark. Probably Gev, because he's the type who can pull it off. |

Okay, confess: Are all you people that are claiming to actually like Susie and to think she is talented part of an elaborate practical joke? Are you punking
us?

I actually really liked Susie's solo. Chelsea's =
I don't think Katee/Kherington are anything amazing as far as technical skill goes, so despite them being early favorites, I don't think either will win. Will is more-so Blake-lite than Danny, I don't see him winning. At this rate it's between Chelsie/Mark/Josh/Twitch, i'd give it to Mark. Sabra/Nick-ish who can fly under the radar against tween favorites like Kherington and Twitch, but still perform great. Granted it's still far too early to be picking frontrunners, but everyone else seems WAY behind compared to those mentioned. |

Nooo! Not my sweet Susie!

I used to love Mia Michaels...
Now anytime I hear her spew about real / earthy / raw .... I think of mushed up worms. She is starting to make me wanna PUKE! I want to say, however, that I think she is an AMAZING choreographer ok? Like she is very gifted. I just think she's the worst judge ever... Whenever she DOES get around to saying something nice, it's usually to the GUYS and it's all the same. IT WAS GREAT! I don't call that critiquing. And when she does critique.. It's SO negative and unconstructive. Like wth... don't smile? You didn't choreograph that routine Mia.. I think she should be fired as a Judge and just kept as a Choreographer. She may be the end of my enjoyment of this show. |

I liked the group routine that was choreographed by Shane Sparks this week. There is hardly a week that I don't like the group dances though. I thought
this one was above average.
I didn't want spicy Latina Susie to go home this soon. I was starting to like her. I knew that she was going home though when she was put in the bottom three with Chelsea and Comfort. They couldn't get rid of their only female hip-hop dancer so they got rid of Susie.
I hope that the judges realize that probably no one listens to their reasons for voting people off anymore. They are keeping their praise for a certain few and not giving deserved praise to another certain few. I guess they try to cater to the common viewer though. Loyal viewers of the show don't matter that much just as long as they can get new viewers to watch the show each week. |

Drew B wrote: No, what I think is bad is that Nigel made no reference to Comfort doing well in her solo. Both Susie and Comfort should've done better than they did two nights ago. But, Comfort gets to stay because the group number was in her style? That's the part I find BS. I agree that Susie was horrible in her supposed element and her solo didn't do too much either. I just think the reason Nigel gave was rather stupid. |

I know it'll never happen due to the general kkkuntiness of modern society, but I hope Melissa O'Neil and Eva Avila make it to the finals:
 
Along with all of the blackies. |

Marquis was shit in the salsa but I thought he definitely had the best guys solo. I think they thought Suzi was going to be better than she was and get by on
her personality (be the sex bomb of the season). Once they decided to get rid of Suzi Uncle Perv had no use for Marquis.
I definitely think this show is about creating characters as oppose to great dancing. Something tells me that each one was picked for a certain purpose: Will - the dance protege Comfort - Hip Hop lady overcoming to be a great dancer Josh - Hip Hop guy overcoming to be a great dancer Kherington - Old guys wet dream Katee - good dancer who started off on a bad foot with the judges Chelsie/Mark - odd couple who was suppose to be a showmance until we found out he was gay and she wasnt interested. Once Chelsie said he was like her brother Uncle Perv changed his tune about her. It will be interesting to see whether Uncle Perv continues to berate Chelsie on lack of personality when I think shes the best technical female dancer they have.

I wonder about comfort's injury. How much did it effect her performance and did they give her more leway because she's recovering.
Suzie should have gone. She sucked much worse than anyone else in her own genere and it wasn't the choreography. She also let the choreographer get to her and was defeated because of it. Past performance that we can't see probably has a lot to do with it (as does other factors such as body size and height) if someone barely squeeked into the top 20 they're not going to be given the protection as someone that they knew was on the top of their top list. |

I think they were going for hot teacher/hot latina, but more people thought she was a VD riddled skank with serious fug/tranny issues. Plus, the editing from the auditions made it look like she didn't deserve to be there (which was only heightened by her craptacluar dancing). Maybe the "hotness" didn't translate on the TV screen or maybe the handjobs for Dan and Nigel made her seem hotter than she actually was(n't). Whatever the case, she should not have been cast. Big mistake. Whenever I see that clip from her first audition, it looks like some dude dressed up like a Pussycat Doll for Halloween. |

Do you think the Jidges do take into account if the choreography 100% sucks? They have to realize its not the dancers and that they have no choice but to do
some of the crap these people come up with. I am blanking on examples at the moment actually. They should do like Project runway and have a second contest
and vote off the choreographers who do the loosing dance. It might humble a few of them.

It might humble a few of them.Last year Uncle Perv said that they were really going to be coming down on the choreographers more. Most notably he said he HATED the Wade Robisons "Little Foxes" that Lacey and Sabra did in the finale. That may be why Wade isnt a regular choreographer thsi season. Wades choice not Uncle Perv's. |
