The problem I had with Benji (and still do) is that he's so over the top, he gives me a headache. Seriously, a teeny bit of him goes a looooong way with me! It was great to see his sister, though. And they did rock their routine!

I loved Hok too. I just hope during this past year he took some ballroom and lyrical classes to be more prepared during Las Vegas week.

I hope they realize how much we all love Hok and put him in the finals. He's one of the main reasons I was so excited to watch the show this season! And boy did he deliver. I think "other planet guy" was on some serious drugs and it was almost inappropriate to put him on. He needed to be seen for tests, not put in front of the cameras. I know drugs (prosecutor) and this guy appeared to actually be on drugs at the moment. It was also inappropriate to put the biopsy Mom story out there - people feel lumps and get biopsies every day - it's just a test. It's not like the lady had cancer - why was everyone crying so much? Yes, it's scary not to know but why freak out now? They were playing music like the lady was dying! I kept waiting for the gold mask guy to reveal that he was, like, Travis or someone. He was pretty funny.

As for the overweight hairdresser - I actually think Nigel was mad at the audience because he thought they were making fun of the dancer by clapping, but it came out all wrong. What I don't understand is why someone who is as good a dancer as he was doesn't just get in shape and chase the dream? He had serious potential and didn't have THAT much to lose - you don't have to be a stick to be a good dancer. And Ketchup - maybe it was! I felt sure someone we know was playing a joke on us.

Nigel was mad at the audience for clapping for the hairdresser guy but he said the audience wasn't clapping because he was good, and the they(audience) didn't clap for some better previous dancers. Wrong, the audience was clapping for everybody and they clapped loud for him because with his weight, he was pretty amazing. I don't like Nigel that much because of his outburst and his meanness.

Denecee, I thought so too. I actually was shocked at how good that kid was. I thought they should have encouraged him to keep with dancing, lose some weight and come back next year

Remember, we don't see a huge number of the auditioners so we really cannot say that Nigel didn't speak the truth about the audience. I'm really getting excited.. some GREAT dancers going through. So happy Hok will be there and tonight I love that the little guy with spina bifida not only got sent to choreography and will get a chance at being in a movie! And loved the guy who didn't have much experience but they decided he deserved to go to choreography just to learn and then ge earned his way to Vegas. Heck , even if he doesn't go too far there, he'll get more training. And the popper guy and that one girl, who was just so good. YAY! I love the show and also the fact that MOSTLY they show the great dancers and the great stories with only a few there for laughs and even most of them really wanted that exposure.

I thought the dad of the x football guy was horrible to his son. I think his son turned out to be gay and the dad cant take it. even when his son was saying thanks to his dad and getting choked up his dad couldnt even hug him...very sad

Lots of great dancers last night. I was so glad to see Shane offer a job to the guy with scoliosis(sp). I just loved watching him.

Just gots to say... not everyone male who gets into dance is gay. So until he comes out of the closet, I'd be real hesitant to label him as such. I loved the fact that he (the ex football player) was sent thru to the choreography round as a "learning experience" and yet proved he could learn and was sent on to Las Vegas! And the guy that Shane's gonna help get into the movies? First of all, that kid was awesome! He had so much personality in his routine, you almost forgot he had limitations!!! And to see Shane just give him some serious props by talking movies and exposure, was a tug on the heartstrings moment! Seems like we saw a lot less of the really lousy dancers last night. Except, dunno why they felt they had to show TWO cowboys. (Although, I figure that ex Marine, of course they had to show him, and that's all I'll say about that!) So, next week... Vegas Baby!! Whoo hoo! (200 peeps? Wow, that's a lotta weeding out they'll be doing!)

Ita Costa! And this is actually a better opportunity for him because it will be a paid job lol. Exfootballer has some great looking calves for that reason alone he's on my list

I think the guy with scoliosis could be a choreographer too.

I wasn't too fond of Shane in prior seasons. It seemed that he had a chip or something on his shoulder. He just moved way up in my book after last night. I love that he wanted to do something for the scoliosis dancer AND actually found something for him. That guy was just great. All the judges gave really good comments to him. I hope they show him again at some point.

Oh yeah, Mocha. Those calves! <sigh> He really is a cutie, too! I kinda hope he makes it past Las Vegas, but I dunno. We didn't really see that many male dancers -- seems we saw more female ones showcased, those who went thru to Vegas. So I don't know how many dancers he's up against. We saw a lot of hip hop, so maybe there's a chance that lyrical/ballet will make it in.

I agree with basically all of the comments here ... I loved when dad and son were tossing the football and the son caught it with his leg raised in the air - tee hee.

I totally disagree with the "he will win...obviously" statement. We have yet to see all of the 200 people that were sent to the Las Vegas round. We have yet to see if Hok can adapt to all of the dance styles (lyrical and ballroom, definitely). He's great at what he does; I'm not so sure that translates to an overall great dancer in all disciplines.

Hok, while he seems good at what he does I can't even compare him to what we saw from everyone last year. ita with Costa, he may not be able to pick up choreography.

Hok is amazing but we also some other great dancers. Hok has tons of personality and is so much fun to watch. I think he will go far but we really havent even seen all of the ppl that will make the top 20. Benji won but have we heard what he is doing? I cant even remember the last 2 winner's names! lol
