When it gets down to it, it is only marginally about the dancing. I think a lot of people vote for the dancing, but then there is also a large contingent that vote for the ones they think they would like best as people. I think Lauren gives off the image of underdog and that gives her some extra votes. I like to see someone fight it out the way she has....and while the rest may be doing that, too, with Lauren you see the effort. When it comes to a public vote, it doesn't matter that often the seemingly effortless is harder to pull off and indicative of more talent. She wouldn't get my vote, but I have been cheering her on.

Re the tour without Hok: I have a lot of "voids" in my life right now, and however great the performances are, there would be a void for me with Hok's absence, and I prefer to choose something that will give me total joy. I think that may go to my new horseback riding venture instead.

Hok and Anya are going to be on the tour. To what extent is anybody's guess.

Yes, I had read that Hok and Anya were going to be alternates. I guess that means that they go on tour but do not dance unless someone is injured. On Broadway, they call them "swing" dancers. They learn all the routines and are ready to step in when needed. Sounds as if that is what they might have Hok and Anya do. Heck, they might even use them in the group numbers, just not give them individual numbers or duets.

Beth, I believe that I read my info from an interview given by Hok or Anya. I can't remember right now. I did read it somewhere on the Internet.

I find it just shocking that they will not incorporate Hok and Jaimie's flower dance into the tour. For that reason alone I'd be less inclined to pay to see them when they come to my city. That said, I do think it was Hok's time to go.

I'm driving my DH nuts with my replays of the last show (the performance show, not results...) I can't get enough of Danny & Lacey's "Hip Hip, Chin Chin" - It is awesome!! Danny was so animated and sexy - I truely think that Lacey brought a lot of that out in him. I really, really hope I get to see them partner again. I have also watched Neil and (er, Lauren??) over and over. Again - Awesome!!! In this case, I think Neil really stole the spotlight from his partner, but both were very, very good. And I even have watched Dom and Jamie's dance several times - the proverbial train wreck. It is so bad that it's funny! Dom is very (very) lucky that he wasn't booted. For some reason, I kept thinking of the Carol Burnett Show when I watch it (sorry to you youngsters who don't know what I'm talking about..) It was like an over-the-top routine from something you'd see on her show. They only thing missing was the curtains on the curtain rod as a dress!!

Is anyone interested in attending the show this Thursday? I can get tix for the preview and priority tix for the actual show. Let me know.

Wow, Costacat, how did you manage that! Wish that I were geographically closer and could take advantage! Spoton, I think you meant Neil and Sara above? In the disco? The disco is the one scene I have watched and rewatched....really helps boost the spirits! (I finally made an exception to my "no taping" rule because this past wednesday it was "tape it or don't see it" becuz of conflict in schedule). The one thing I have really missed having on tape this year was Hok's scarecrow solo (the week before he left)...the one I wished would go on and on. I so wish I could look at that again. And yes I like the pairing of Lacey and Danny.

You may want to have some facial tissues handy when you watch the performance show.

If Ketchuplover is talking about what I think she is...
Spoiler Click below to view spoiler | apparently there is a dance that Mia Michaels choreographed that was very emotional. I saw some posts at TWoP that discussed it. |

Wish I could go Costa! Hope you do so you can tell us all about it. What is on camera is entertaining, but sometimes the true entertainment is behind the scenes or not captured by the camera.

Nah, I can't go this week. It's why I posted. I let the tix go, since no one popped up. Maybe next time, I hope. I would've enjoyed going!
