At this point, we know it...it ain't going to change. I understand being dissatisfied with the results, and I know I would've been dissatisfied and upset had Thayne or Chelsea gone home. But, people seriously need to get lives if it makes them legitimately angry...And again, Susie and Marquis...really?!?!? And Nigel has said that the show is about skill and personality from the beginning...so, I understand why that is part of his criteria. I dunno...Susie and Marquis seemed a logical choice. And they weren't the strongest dancers in the competition by far...And again...Comfort and Chris aren't either, so they'll be gone soon enough. Agree with everything. I don't get the backlash for Marquis & Suzie. BOTH DESERVED TO GO HOME BASED ONLY ON SALSA. And I actually thought Comfort wasn't THAT bad. In fact IMO Chelsea had the weakest solo next to Suzie. Realistically, I think the TOP 10 will be: (Assuming they don't BOMB) - Twitch - Kherington - Joshua - Katee - Chelsie - Mark - Comfort - Will - Courtney - Gev or Thayne

And then to get rid of Marquis b/c of "too many tricks" and comfort being saved by her group dance; which is not supposed to count was bullshit. P.S. - Please don't compare any of these loser girls to last season's Sara. She was the bomb and was done in by wardrobe and the week her genre was pulled it was 80's Hip-Hop. She never got to show her stuff. Next weeks prediction: Comfort & Chris in the bottom 3 again.

Was her comment on not minding if some people went home really necessary?

She probably is huffing and puffing and secretly letting Nigel know that she was NOT satisfied with the some of the entrants in the Top 20. She has always attempted to be the outspoken and opinionated one, but has always, to me, come across as a spoiled bitch. She obviously vagina gushes over all her contemporary dancers, and if you're not contemporary, you probably have a long road to climb to be accepted by her. Her rants about being able to express her opinion and being real...are just unnecessary. And it would appear she's made up her mind, so why even bother attempting to impress her if you aren't one of her chosen ones.

She praises the men more because the men dance better. She doesn't only like the dancers from a contemporary background (look at her praise for Gev). I think she's more useful than Mary and more fair than Nigel... On the other hand, her choreography for the past two seasons has been sliding down the crapper to me. I almost wish they'd make her a perma-judge so we don't have to see her shitty routines...

We all fully expected her to leave, and then she did what she did, and I guess the judges figured "if we pair her with Cedric, she'll leave soon anyway, so why not just keep her for now, so as not to arouse suspicion." I thought the same thing would happen with Marquis (and I prefered his solo to Shauna's. It was easily one of the best, and the best by far of the season, despite what the judges try to delude people into thinking about Will, who just waved his arms around). When you look at the judges favorites solos, and some of the best solos on the show (Danny's finale solo, Blake's solo), they were all mostly tricks anyway. Marquis was just amazing. One question though, who of the "bottom" 10 will make the out. Last year, it was Shauna, Anya, Jesus, and Hok. This year, do you think any of the elimated ones have a chance? I think Susie might because of her ballroom skills.

Marquis was just amazing. Good point. 30 seconds of individual dancing with no context and no partner to play off is likely to be boring. "Tricks" make it so much more watchable.

I think Comfort also has a good shot, but if she constantly ends up in the bottom 3, I don't think the judges can realistically keep saving her. As far as the final 2/3(whether Comfort makes it or not), I have no idea I think they are up for grabs. I don't mind Gev & Courtney, but for some reason when I'm listing pairs I ALWAYS forget these two.

I think it's because they were pretty much middle of the road both of the episodes so far. When I think of top 3 or bottom 3, they never strike my mind either. If they keep this up, they may just sneak their way into the top 10.

Posts: 3324 (06/20/08 4:19 PM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	At this point last year, I would have considered Hok, Jessi and Jesus as VERY likely top 10 candidates. I would have considered Jamie, Lauren & Neil as major longshots. Danny, too, since I hadn't yet realized that even if he was placed in the bottom three five hundred times and refused to dance a solo at all, there was no way the judges were going to cut "the golden boy". I think we really need to see more dancing to know. As far as I'm concerned, it's not set in stone yet.

And while I wouldn't be surprised if TPTB assured Ol' Debs that her protege' Will, had a sure-thing spot in the top 10, I could see him winding up as a shocking boot. That's because I'm thinking that there's a chance Thayne could make it into the top 10 over Will, since my cynical self could see some panic voting coming his way once Amurrica comes to the realization that OMG! there might not be more than ONE!

White Boi! going on the Tour! I think that Matt is actually much more talented than Thayne. Is it inconceivable that Matt could be the white contempo-boy to get in there instead of Will?

Problem is he may develop a fan base along the way to the top 10 (no way will he leave at the hand of the judges). I'm already hearing people spout the judges' rhetoric about him being a genius and infinitely better than Jessica (didn't think he was that much better). I think the only locks for top 10 are Twitch, Josh, Katee, Kher, Chelsie (only ballroom dancer left) and Will (gift to humanity). I would love to put Mark in the top 10 but I'm not sure yet. Even after doing a great job this week, I keep reading a lot of comments about how he wasn't as good as Ivan or other random objections. He seems like someone who will never be allowed to skate by on a poor performance so if he ever has one and hits the bottom 3, who knows? That said, I never expected him to do so well in a tango (he wasn't perfect but he was really good for a contemp. dancer) and his solos seem cool, so maybe he'll be fine. As for the last three spots, I'm not sure but I think Comfort will be there unless she screws up all her partner dances (they don't want that on the tour, which features the best partner dances). totell - opening number here Last Edited By: loveski 06/20/08 5:40 PM.

I think Katee's ONLY a lock because being Joshua's partner will keep her out of danger. Her dancing is good, but not so good that it would be inconceivable that she would be bottom three if she had a different partner. Once in the bottom three, it is very possible that the judges would cut her.
