Same here, Jimmer. Max has really grown on me through the weeks. Certainly between him and Austin -- it's Max. I can't see a blond / light-haired Danny. The judges wanted Max to change his hair style early on. They should have told Austin to dye his hair.

I tried voting after Kitt posted the numbers, but all I got was a busy signal. How many hours do they give you to vote after it's aired on the West Coast? We didn't get it here in Wisconsin and to my knowledge, NBC still hasn't shown it. Too little; too late anyway. They did however, show Dateline @ 1:30 in the morning. Who does their choice of programs? I don't want Max to win. He doesn't have a strong voice. What little I heard last night didn't impress me at all. Re Austin being gay...I thought he was married..no? Also, since Laura is a brunette, it would fit perfectly for Austin to win and stay blonde.

Seamonkey, when Chad sang "Sandy" as his exit song, his voice was awesome and he is sooooo good looking. They made a mistake getting rid of him. As I said last night, when it got down to 8, they should have had all the couples do duets and switch to see everyone together. I bet Chad would have been great with Laura, Ashley or Allie. Allie was very Sandyish..the "Jimmer" kind of Sandy, lol. If anyone misses another show (not many left) Bravo repeats the show on Thursday nights.

Before the season started, I could not conceive of a brunette Sandy but Laura changed my mind right way. I don't even 'see' her hair. (I am blonde myself btw) I love Max but am leaning ever so slightly toward Austin. Mainly because I thought that Laura clearly felt more comfortable with him and they had much more chemistry, and also because I find him a little more believable as the leader of the pack. Max broke my heart though when he talked about his struggles with his health and to be 'normal'.... I have had similar challenges.... his attitude is undeniably wonderful.

Austin is old??? a friend of ours had that. it's really flippy to wake up one day and have half your face paralyzed, and there is really nothing they can do about it, but time.

I hope it's Max and Laura. Austin is way too egocentric for me and I think his 'acting' is too over the top. He does have a nice singing voice, I just don't care for the overall package. Max is just an all-around relatabe guy that I think audiences will love. Ashley also has a forced sense about her when she's on stage. Laura seems much more comfortable in the role. Both have good voices, though.

My favorite, Derek, is out, so I guess that just means one less show for me to worry about seeing in New York. I have little interest in seeing Max or Austin in the role. Hopefully Derek will show up someplace else. I think he has potential. I favored Ashley as Sandy from the beginning, but Laura could also do a great job in the role. As for hair color, most shows I've seen lately the females are wearing wigs anyhow, even if their real hair color and stage hair color is the same. It saves time in wardrobe and they often hide the microphones in the wigs.

Colordeagua made a very interesting point in that the judges encouraged Max to change his appearance to look more suitable for the Danny role. I wonder why they would do that for him and not for the others (or maybe they did)? Certainly Austin and Laura do not suit our current image of what Danny and Sandy should look like.

Re the "Austin is old" bit: took me aback for a second, but now I remember....Austin said that he has been in the business for a long time now, and that at a certain age you either make it or realize you won't (and he thinks he is at that age). The more interesting backstory to me was that Austin was an overweight kid who somewhere along the line really got his physical act together. I wish they had spent more time telling us when and how that happened. Re the 2 women: instead of backstory (although they touched briefly on Ashley's injured toe preventing her from being a ballet dancer), they focused on WHO in their lives the 2 women were missing. They showed Laura's fiance, who is carrying on with the wedding preparations on his own--and Ashley, whose sister had been unable to fly out for financial reasons---until fans online raised the $$ to bring her out for Sunday night.

"Austin is old and Max had Bells Palsy in the fifth grade" Well that sure made a long story short. LMAO, I laughed very hard when I read that Scoots, it just craked me up.

Austin's 30. I'd guess that's old for Broadway. Max is 21. (And according to NBC Laura is 20 and Ashley is 21)

Reiki..I agree. My favorite was Derek so that nixes my Grease on Broadway trip. Austin was my 2nd favorite but then I got turned off with all the "over the top" everything. BUT, then I thought-that's how you have to perform on Broadway. Everything is bigger than life on stage. The big difference is, we are seeing that BIG performance on our tv screens and it seems, well, BIG. But if you were sitting in the audience far away, that's how he would need to perform. Make sense? Just like your facials for a movie have to be subtle and "natural", if you did that on a Broadway stage- no one can see it! With that said, although I really like Laura first and Ashley second, I am now leaning towards Ashley because she makes a better couple with Austin and because their kiss was H-O-T! I think Austin should have gone all out and dyed his hair black! I hope he does and that Laura goes blonde. I really hate wigs on stage trying to pass off as the real thing.

adding that I just cannot see Max in this role, he would need to add some muscle to fit in just right. He looks too young for the role for me. I hate the "unconventional" idea. It is what it is. I love Grease and if I was to go see it I would want it to resemble the movie as closely as possible. I like Jon Secada, but I would have hated seeing him as Danny. No way! Do you all think they will give the other contestants parts in the other Grease roles?

I think the other parts have been cast. I kinda wondered if they might give have them be the understudies, but who knows. Go Max, Go Laura!!!!!!
