Juliana was my favorite too. I think the guys are a lot stronger than the girls.

I'm still enjoying the show. I think the contestants are remarkably talented. It will be interesting to compare the quality to American Idol this week.

No comparison for me, Jimmer. I think this group of performers way outshines the people picked for AI this year. AI has become more of a joke show, with foolish people being picked by the Producers to get laughs or give the judges attention as they ridicule them or something, rather than a lot of talented people. I'm not interested at all in anyone on there.

No opinion here on comparison. I do NOT watch AI at all. I'm lovin' G:YTOTIW.

I just love this show, the talent is amazing! I did get tickled in an earlier show when one of the boys was critisized for being 'too pop', reminded me of AI saying someone is 'too broadway'. I can never tell the difference! LOL

So this week Kate gets some bad editing (they made her seem to be a bit of a primadonna in the little clip section) So, do they want her to go home this week? I think the judges want an Allie/Ashley final two for the girls. I would prefer it to be Laura and Ashley. For the guys, I still really like Max. I was sad that Derek hit some sour notes...doesnt' bode well for him. Chad and Austin continue to grow on me. I'm trying to figure out how they prepared for this week. It was obvious that the announcement of who got the lowest votes was not live. There was no background audience noise. So, the bottom four knew who they were, did they then practice both sets of pairs, not knowing which people were going to be eliminated? Did Juliana learn a routine with both Kevin and Jason and did Kathleen learn one with both Jason and Kevin? Does that make sense? How did they know how to match up the partners without knowing who was going to be eliminated? I'm obviously spending way, way too much time thinking about this, but I'm a dork.

Fiat, I am a dork too because I was wondering the same thing! They must know the results before they do the pairings and pair up whoever the losers are. So if they announce your partner is going home then you have to be the one going too. I just don't see how the couples could be mixed up and practice 2 routines and learn 2 songs for one night. OK, now my brain is tired!

My wife convinced me to watch Grease. I was reluctant to say the least. About five minutes in I was hooked. Of course, having had a crush on ONJ when I was a kid certainly helped.

Dork from Boston checking in. Musicals have always been my favorites. Even when other kids were listening to the Rolling Stones and the Beatles, I was listenting to Carousel, West Side Story and The Sound of Music. (I guess I am dating myself.)

Here are my 2 cents: My ONLY Danny faves are Derek first and then Austin . I do not like any of the other guys at all doe the part. I think Max has no business being there. I know they like to point out the "unconventional" Danny quality but he looks very out of place to me. He also has terrible posture noticeable when he is sideways. For Sandy's I like Laura first and then Kate. I do think Kate looks "younger" when her hair is not so puffy on top. Ashley is very pretty but her voice annoys me. Kathleen doesn't do anything for me. Something about Allie bothers me. She is not too feminine. I think she walks kind of tomboyish which is very unlike Sandy. I can really tell when she has to do any kind of strut in a dance. I like to watch this show only when tivoed so that I can fast forward through some of the cheesey parts. I cannot stand the "let's sing around the person just voted off" . Here is this person sad, crying and trying to concentrate on singing and everyone is surrounding them playing the sad part of the song...tacky! I also get annoyed with the "sassy sandy" kind of names.... Maybe I have gotten used to the AI bashing but I think the judges are just too nice. They are being very careful with their words. I wish they would say "ummm no, you need way more dance training" "I did not like the performance" etc...not be nasty but honest! No way they always like all performances. The worse comment that I can remember has been " you had a few cracks at the top of that song"..... I have been a fan of Grease since I was little which is why I watch. Had this been for some other broadway show I don't think I would have been watching at all.

Danzdol, I agree with you about the critiquing. Don't like the "bashing" they do on AI. (So I've heard. I don't watch it at all.) But I think the judges on G:YTOTIW could give more honest, helpful criticism still without being too harsh. Ultimately, the judges and viewers can choose just one Sandy and one Danny -- the best of the bunch. That means all the others were not right for the parts for some reason(s). Why?

Wow Danzdol, I agree with your post completely. The only difference perhaps is that I am trying to look past Allie's seeming lack of femininity. I keep hoping it will change, or that my perception is off because she is very skilled and I kind of enjoy hearing her sing (though not as much as Laura and Kate). I wonder if she could be coached to carry herself just a bit differently. It's clear that she wants this badly, but she is going to have to grow to convincingly come across as soft and vulnerable, and then authentically sexy and cool. I think Laura is a natural for this. Oh, and then I was disappointed in Derek's performance last week. His singing really needs some work. But he looks the part and his dancing is great.

I don't know who did the photos at the top of the thread (or how long they've been there!) but thank you! I am terrible at names, so it makes making sense of people's comments so much easier. Looking forward to tonight. I think we might lose Kevin, not sure about the girls though.

I bet Kathleen and Kate will be bottom two, with Kathleen going. I agree that Kevin will leave tonight. I wish him well. He has a lovely voice, and would be perfect in something more dramatic. (Les Mis?)

Yep - I think we'll be loosing Kevin & Kathleen tonight. (Kevin would be better on AI than alot of the guys still left - maybe we'll see him next year over there).

Is any one else having trouble voting like I am?...the 03 number is the only one working for me. When I dial 01, 02, or 04, I get an operator telling me the number cannot be completed as dialed. So I tried calling on my cell phone for 01, 02, and 04. Each time, I got a message that it was not a working number. Then I tried 03 and got the "thank you for voting" message.

Interesting, Gingersnap, as 03 is Laura, whom the judges picked as their Sandy tonight. I need to rewind my tape and get the whole number. I'll try voting for Ashley (01) and see what happens. I'm going to vote for Ashley and Laura. I thought they were the best tonight. I couldn't believe Chad was in the bottom 4. I just don't see what everyone sees in Max. He's like a kid brought in from the street, but he's no professional. I think Kevin, who went home tonight, has a much better voice...and, he's an actor. I wonder if the judges were upset with their decision to keep Kathleen when she did her performance. That was the worst she's ever sang. Could be nerves from being in the bottom 4 again.

Gingersnap, I just called and got right through on 01 for Ashley. I called 1-888-486-0301 and got Billy's voice, lol. Allie is 0302; Laura is 0303 and Kathleen is 0304.

I have checked and double checked my dialing. I am 100% certain I am punching the right numbers...still getting the same messages. Glad you are able to get through. I offically give up...hope things are straightened out by next week so I can vote for Chad. Guess I'll head on over to NBC.com and leave them a message.
