I don't expect Will to make it to the Top 4, but I do hope that he manages to fit in one or two more solos or routines before he gets cut. Have you guys not been observing the way his body moves? Dude's got serious skills. I absolutely agree with you except for the last part. He will make Top 4 if not win it all. The reason the way his body moves the way it does is not only due to his intense training, he was meant to dance. Every style he's done, every movement is organic and effortless. I never saw arrogance in him at all but if he has, it's deserving. I don't know why anyone is saying it's not fair he's being pimped and all that BS - he is a phenomenal dancer and gets deserved praise FFS!!! Give the guy a break. So what if he's Debbie Allan's protege - he's just as good if not better than Danny last season. Some people have mad skills and some are just jealous haters. And I'm glad to hear so many peeps love the Bollywood routine. My husband is from India so I can compare to what I see there and they did a good job. I was hoping for more contemporary Bollywood which is more hand/leg movement than hand/leg poses kwim. They were doing old Bollywood movement. Last Edited By: blackmangopit 07/10/08 11:37 AM.

I didn't like Will and Jessica's quickstep, but it has never been a style I've cared for all that much. Anyway, her comments were absolutely odious, especially since Jessica has danced better than other girls, IMO. Even with her lackluster quickstep, she was still better than Comfort and Kherington, who I thought sucked on both of her routines last night. Of course, Nigel sugercoats his critique choosing to ignore the last 16 bars of the krump, which were slow and tiring. I thought Twitch held his own in the krump, although he was bad in the Tango. I don't think either of them will be going home tonight, but at the very least they should be in the bottom three. I missed the Josh/Katee vietnamese waltz, but I loved their Bollywood. They, along with Mark/Chelsie have been the most consistent couple this season, and that's one couple I would be sad to see break up. I thought the Courtney/Gev Cha Cha was OK, but I'm with those who would've loved to see Anya and Pasha dance it instead. It probably would've melted the arena.

She said that she loved how the piece showed the cross cultural interactions of dance, for example, how she could see some elements of African dance in this Indian style. If you watch the dance again without your anti-Mia bias, you'll see she's right.

I actually think that NO ONE has "it" and they should just eliminate everybody and go back to casting and pick another crop of people and try again next year. Some people come close kind of, but I'm one who believes that had Twitch, Josh, or Will been in a past season, they would have been gone in the first few weeks.

When Will is good, he's good, but that hasn't been the case all along. He sucked on disco and he sucked on quick step. I have no problem with them praising him when he's good. When they cream all over him (and rip Jessica to shreds) when he's bad, though, it's a problem.

It's actually only been the past four weeks (same as Thayne). But I can understand the mistake, since her first dance (the jive) was so terrible she should have been in the bottom. It's still ridiculous. If they are in the botton tonight, that makes four weeks, more than any other dancers in the history of the show, and unlike Danny and Dmitri (the other two who managed to save themselves three times), it isn't because they are very talented and do great solos, it's because the judges unfairly hate other dancers (Matt, Marquis, Kourtni, Chelsea).

Well, if we're going by when they SHOULD have been bottom three, then Jessica should have been B3 in weeks 2 and 3 as well as week 1 (when she actually WAS in the bottom 3 and should have been sent packing). It wasn't until last week (week 4) that she turned in her first decent performance.

I may have to watch it about 40 times just to catch all of the little moves and gestures. On watching it the 2nd time I was amazed at how much of the stage they covered and how in sync they were. Fa.Bu.Lous. Katee may be my all time favorite female SYTYCD dancer. (I didn't see the first 2 seasons though.)

I think Courtney is under-rated but she has been getting more attention this past two weeks. I hated it when Nigel told them (as a couple) they didn't stand a chance in the competition but, it was very good (the dance). So, nothing like making you feel like crap. Overall, I thought, as a couple, they were the best last night with some other standout routines: Bollywood was great. We get a lot of Bollywood dancing in Vancouver because of Little India 'in the hood' and it's always very entertaining. This show should have more international/World dances on stage. Mia is right about that regardless of her bitchy comments about Jessica. Personally, I do think Will is a very good dancer. LOVED their Adam/Eve routine last night. I also find Chelsea rather drab 'off-stage' but the girl is a very good dancer as is Katie. I think they 'could' be the final two standing. Both have been consistant in every dance they've performed. I believe it should be Comfort and Thayne leaving but again, I agree with Mia- Thayne is much better than Comfort makes him look. and there's something about Mary?

Posts: 4450 (07/10/08 1:58 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I am going to be disappointed to see Josh & Katee separated. I think they are brilliant together and are about the only ones whose routines I've actually rewound and watched more than once. I'm still thinking about that Bollywood number from last night. It was perfect, and I have to watch it again. Pure joy from beginning to end. This pairing as well as Courtney/Gev I am going to miss. I think both compliment one another and are pairings that consist of 2 dancers that I genuinely like seperately so when they come together and really mesh well which seems to happen each week, it's fun to watch, way more so than the other dancers. * Mia's honest and I love that but what bothered me was not her honesty but that her opinion was flat out bullshit. She can tihnk that Jessica is not up to Will's level and call her out but to act like Jessica was cannon fodder within the competition and that she has been sucking each week was just ludicrous. Jessica is clearly a good dancer in her own style and has proven that she can go outside her own style and deliver. Had she been paired w/ Joshua or Twitch or even Gev, I have a feeling none of this 'Jessica..you suck' shit would be happening. * If Comfort stays and Jessica goes..this show has officially jumped the shark this season especially if Thayne goes when clearly he is a million times better than Comfort.

My grandmother has more hip action than either of those two and she just had a hip replacement. ___________________________________ While watching the show last night, my dad and mom who are ballroom dancers, both said "That isn't the Cha Cha". They also said that Will & Jessica didn't even do the "Quick Step" in their routine, and that the part were they did the twist was terrible. Even my 5 year old does a better twist then they did.
