True, Dolphinschild. I just hate to see Allison go at this point. And I guess I should have dialed more than once each. I usually dial 3-4 times each. But I figured everyone would rally around at this point.

I am reposting my old archives post from a couple hours ago so the 100 downloads don't get wasted and for all of us Allison fans. - Thursday, July 27, 2006 - 5:46 pm Hi, Last night when I was watching and heard Nigel say that Allison was in Disney's original movie "High School Musical", I just had to go get it and see I chopped a scene with Allison if anybody is interested in seeing her in it. I left it huge and full quality so you could spot her. This link is only good for 100 downloads. She looks so cute 4 minutes, 50 MB .WMV http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=DA6D7E6432D9BF92 btw, my favs are Heidi, Allison and Donyelle. I like Benji and Ivan, too. Oh Gosh, at this point I like them all.

I'm sorry. Heidi is a great dancer when partnered, but I think Allison was the better overall dancer. I felt like Mary did, that she should've been the one to win it all.

It seems to me that the judges didn't gush over Allison as they did over Travis. That surprised me. Also surprised me that they like Natalie so much. I guess the judges know the results before they are announced.

Relax, Naja. Probably a bunch already watching now. I tried watching it, btw, can't. I have RealPlayer but use Mozilla Firefox as my browser. I get an error message. I will try opening IE for the time being and will see if that works.

I was touched by Travis and his interaction with Allison at the end. Were they ever partnered up on the show? If not, it's a shame! Allison again is great, and really speaks "to the moment"...when she saw Travis shell-shocked, she changed her dance to dance to him....the two of them were also dancing together just before final credits. I will TRY and watch the link above, but bet with dialup I may have problems :-(

Beth, I TRIED making a dial up friendly download for it,but then you couldn't even see her face because it was too blurred and you couldn't even tell it was her I'll go grab some crisp screen shots.

Coming in late....Too bad about Allison. I really thought it would be Natalie as well. I think the Benji-Heidi combination just blew apart the votes. Heidi had been up and down throughout the competition, but being paired with Benji at this time was critical to her staying in the top 2. Just wondering, I don't remember if Allison ever danced with Benji. Does anyone know?

Thanks Naja...hmm, Allison in red in upper right??? Re Allison dancing with Benji: I don't THINK so; actually at this point, I too am trying to figure out who HASN'T danced with whom!!! This week Benji will definitely get a partner he has been with before: either back to Donyelle (which would be GREAT) or cousin Heidi again or Natalie, who I think he drew as a partner recently. I too am stunned at Allison's leaving, although really don't want to lose anyone now!!! Hope Allison gets her dream of dancing with her sister in Celine's show...I can't believe they wouldn't want her even if she DOESN'T get the top prize!

It was interesting to see that Alison had bonded much more with Travis. Ivan seemed very much in the background around her leaving last night. He was clearly sad but it was Travis stepped into the picture. I guess, at this point, you have to think that dance people are watching and Alison will get work. She was my favorite to win. Her personality let her down, I think. We only saw a sweet girl who smiled. Love Donyelle but she is just not as good as the other women. Heidi, still dont get it. She has made a mark with her west coast swing speciality so will probably stick with ballroom. I don't see a dance troupe or casting director hiring her due to her limitations. Sure she pulled off that lyrical number with Travis but the choregrapher pulled her through it. There is just no time in a professional production to give special attention to anyone. And there is that face. oy As Nigel said, it is Americas choice not who is the better dancer. It really all comes down to being hired after this is over. They all got exposure and that is what this is about. You would think that Celine has a troupe of dancers already in place. I bet the winner gets a position in an act where there are many dancers on stage and adding one more is not difficult. And there are other times during her show where the principals are featured. The prize may be far less than it appears.

voting for dancers is so subjective. did allison go home because the others had more active fan bases? did allison's fans get cocky and not vote as much? did natalie's fans feel threatened and vote en masse? I know a lot of people were put off when one of the judges proclaimed allison the winner a few weeks ago. and quite a few people claim that allison is a selfish dancer and didn't make her partners look better. quite a few weeks natalie was praised for pulling along or carrying her partner, allison had a few judges comments about her overshadowing her partner. it's perspective. so much of this is luck ... who will be your partner? what dance will you get? will the choreography suck? For instance, Heidi lucked out big time this week. Donyelle didn't luck out 1st with that stupid mask, and then picking quickstep.

I thought Donyelle should have been voted out, she is clearly not in the same league as the other women. Don't get me wrong, she is an incredible dancer, but not nearly as good as the other 3.

More people will vote for swing than quick step, even if the judges explain that it is harder to do. Only Jerry Rice made it look exciting.

This is not about the best dancer. It is now Amercia's favorite and that can mean anything. We never really saw the girl beneath the smile in Alison. She is locked up tightly inside and will come out as she matures. She is only 18. Her expression did not change from that familiar smile even as she was eliminated. I think that was the reason she left. We never got to know her.

I agree Fruitbat. I feel like I know Heidi and Donyelle and Natalie. I remember their fun and quirky personalities from the learning the dance segments - same with Benjie but I had absolutely no feel for allison or Ryan and I have to admit I can't remember which is travis and which is ivan from week to week.

I've gotten to like Travis more and more these past weeks. But for the males I think Benji should win it even though I like all that's left. I'm also thinking Natalie should win for the women even though again I like all that's left.
