For the girls, Comfort/Courtney, as if it wasn't already obvious.I think Courtney's done. Lagging fourth in busy signals and third in votes doesn't average out too well.

The judges will make a mess in their pants right there on the spot. God yes. I actually like Mark & Josh, which is werid especially for me. I also hope Courtney goes and I think she will. Comfort has a lot of OTTP praise in the hip hop and OTTN praise in the foxtrot. Courtney got very MOR/UTR critique as usual so I think she's going. As for the guys, if Mark can survive it'll be glorious. I think Josh is the fan favorite of the guys so I honestly don't think he's in danger at all.

I don't understand why they don't just give up all the pretenses and announce who they want the public to vote for? Are we really supposed to believe there isn't vote tampering at this point? This is EXACTLY how I feel. I've watched since the 1st ep of Season 1 and loved this show over any other -- my fave thing in the summer and now the bastiges ruined it.

I think it's the best "hard" hip hop we've seen this season (it's too hard to compare it to "lyrical" hip hop like the one Josua and Katee did week one). It was CERTAINLY better than the overpimped one Comfort did with Twitch last week. Comfort was great - Mark, IMO, was even better! Why the hell was Dimitry wearing a shirt while he choreographed them?! Mark is one of the only ones who begs for votes in a way that doesn't make me want to throttle him. His goofiness is so charming and infectious that he comes across loveable rather than desperate or annoying. Comfort and Mark - Foxtrot - I am completely at odds with the judges on this one. I really liked it. Mark performed the hell out of it with a style that rivals old legends like Fred Astaire, and Comfort, to me at least, held her own. I'm not an expert at the technical elements of a foxtrot, and when Mary talked about the closed hold problems and they played back that moment, I guess I can see what she was talking about. Still, watching it the first time, I didn't notice. I was too caught up in the performance. For the judges to talk about the lack of chemistry and the thinking too much thing when they praised Will and Courtney's Samba earlier, though, was too much for me. I call shenanigans! My Rankings (pair dances only): 1. Comfort and Mark - Hip Hop (by a mile) 2. Comfort and Mark - Foxtrot (I can't help it. I enjoyed it) I thought the only great dance was Comfort and Mark's hip-hop. I thought all the rest had real problems, but that ultimately, Courtney and Will were the worst pair. I agree with most of what you said, Drew, but I am only highlighting the good stuff about Mark (he's just too adorable and I just love him this season). Mark owned in the Hip Hop. I bet Nigel gave Markfort Hip Hop thinking Mark would suck and they could bury them for an "allegedly" bad Foxtrot and Mark sucking at Hip Hop. Nigel was probably fuming inside when he saw Mark nailed the hip hop. Nigel seemed to be giving faint praise through locked teeth. (Nigel hate). I just love Mark's miming or interpretive goofing when Cat is going over the numbers. It is so cute and fun and just highlights his quirky personality that I, personally, just love. Cat is cute how she plays off of Mark during these bits. Mark looked soooo good in his ballroom outfit and I agree, he was like a Fred Astaire. I thought he had really good lines and extensions (to my untrained eyes) and looked so dreamy sexy. Mark <3<3 Mark also managed to make Comfort look good. I've said it before, Mark is the best partner this season. His lifts are always beautiful and he doesn't have the bulging muscles like Joshua and he doesn't throw & rip his partner around like Will does. Mark seems to gently and fluidly lift his partner, even loose limbed Comfort, and make it look graceful and elegant. I am going to be so disappointed if Mark is booted tonight. I voted for him the entire 2 hours non-stop. I want to see Mark paired with Katee. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get Katee, because Nigel wants him out, out, out and will give him who ever the perceived "worst" of the girls is left. A Mark & Katee pairing would be fantastic and I'm crossing my fingers it will happen next week.

If by some miracle Will and Twitch were in the bottom 2, that would just be too much and too good to be true. The judges will make a mess in their pants right there on the spot. From your lips, Seaguy . . . that would be just divine.

The biggest reason for me was letting Comfort back in. Had she been a shock elimination, I might have felt differently. But she deserved to go when she did. The fact that she has put more into the competition this time around does not change the fact that she was wasting an incredible opportunity the first time. Plus she lacks technique. She'd better go tonight. What else is ruining it for me? Too many hiphop/contemp dancers let through Too many being given the same style of dance multiple times The judges taking themselves too seriously, talking too long, showing bias Choppy camera work Too much emphasis on the choreographers during critiques, while never blaming them for a bad routine Nigel's manipulation and perving Mary's incessant screaming--instead of being a "reward" for something fantastic, she does it so much that the absence of it is a negative critique Twitch's Super T schtick and the whole "4 Realz" hand thing Too many mistakes and stumbles going unaddressed Tricks and gimmicks substituting for dance General lack of gracefulness

Josh fell out of his spin the beginning, for fucks sake! Thank you! I was wondering if I just imagined that. I thought they messed up quite a bit--well, Joshua did. It was like they strung together a bunch of lifts and, well, I wasn't impressed.

Unless of course he was put in the bottom 2 without actually being bottom 2. I so want to see Will get thrown off tonight. I would do a standing ovation and a slow clap for that. Not because I dislike Will - I don't - but because I hate the judges so much. And with Comfort gone, I think, the judges will have no choice but to pair Mark with one of the great women left. Sadly most people are mimicing the judges about Will (his samba was shameful, imo and his history making hip hop was crap).

Posts: 302 (07/24/08 9:11 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Why on earth would people want both Will and Twitch in the bottom tonight? Doesn't anyone realize what that would do? Sure, it would mean one of them leaves, but that almost guarantees that the other will make the final 4, since people won't want a repeat of their favorite "shockingly" landing in the bottom. That's what'll happen. The judges will say how America got it wrong, and everyone will think it's such a travesty that they will solely vote for Twitch or Will the following week so that the previous calamity never happens again. I want Twitch or Will to be in the bottom with Mark or Josh, with Twitch or Will leaving. That way, Mark or Josh will get the emergency votes the following week, and Twitch or Will (whichever one is left), will have a greater chance of being lost in the shuffle. I would love for Will to leave over Twitch, but it won't happen.

The Twitchington portmanteau alone jumped them a few places higher than they deserved. The lensless glasses, the T logo shirts, and the name "Twitch" itself are all done to promote himself to fans. I'm sure he plans his camera interviews for maximum huggability. On top of that, the judges give him a pass on his technical stubles, the choreographers give him a pass by dumbing down routines, and the OTT praise makes people think he's TEH AWESOME DANCER. What is inexplicable is why TPTB want him over Josh. Josh can dance circles around Twitch. I don't get it.

Last time I checked, it was always said this was the contest for America's FAVORITE dancer, not necessarily the best. It's not like Idol, which claims they are looking for the best singer.

Well, with the absurd "judging" that's going on, that's probably the only way I'd watch the show next year. Like others here, this was my favorite summer show, but it's just been ruined this year by the judges.

I will literally come off the couch and do a fucking hot-tamale-train scream if it happens Take that Nigel and Mary! Too many being given the same style of dance multiple times You mean like Katee being given three contemporary routines and three broadway routines....and all three broadway routines were performed barefoot (even though only one of the routines made sense barefoot-wise)? Biased and manipulated? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!!!

Posts: 784 (07/24/08 10:37 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I watched it without judges' comments this week and the show was a million times better. I could still tell what their reactions were (happy for everything but what Mark and Comfort did) but it was easier to ignore. Watching the dances, I think Will or Twitch should go home. Will was atrocious in the samba. No hip-action (swiveling them isn't hip-action). Twitch barely danced which is the choreographer's fault but they're obviously accommodating to his multiple weaknesses. Josh messed up a little but overall, he was good and he actually had to dance. Mark killed the hip-hop and his parts alone in the foxtrot were great. Plus he was actually leading, whereas most of the men don't in their ballroom dances. For the girls, Courtney had a great solo but was way off in the hip hop. Comfort was great in the hip-hop and sort of ruined the foxtrot at times but had really lovely moments at other times. Chelsie is awesome but she has a lot of hesitancy in her actions which she didn't have with Mark. Disco is a lot of trust and I didn't see it there. Katee's amazing but it's the first week I was sort of not caring about her (still, Katee FTW!). She did carry the Mia routine by herself so props to that but ew for kissing Twitch. Should go home: Comfort and Twitch Will go home: Mark and Comfort Will stop watching the show live (and catch her faves on Youtube): Me I don't think I'm doing the spoiler stuff next week unless Mark stays because I am a bitter bitch who wants next week's spoilers to say Mark and Katee are paired up.

Since they added solo dances to the Wednesday show, she's been outdanced by Courtney in that regard.

I never said otherwise. But how often have we heard the judges say that when certain people end up in the bottom. They've said it before, and they will say it if Will and Twitch end up in the bottom, and many voters, being the sheep that they are, will vote en masse (next week) for the person who survives. In case you havent noticed (like with Will's blossoming popularity), for many people, their favorite dancer is whoever the judges tell them it is.
