Sort of like if you apply for TAR, best to learn some phrases in other languages, learn to drive stick shift and get in shape.

Yep, that, too. Or even <gasp> learn to swim? I suppose people either really want to be on a show and almost hate to jinx it by planning, or they are recruited and don't have a ton of time to prepare? But for a dance competition, they really can plan, especially those who are told to "try next year".

Oh yeah, many of the shows, the first couple of times, are secret and hard to prepare for.. it would only be ones that have lasted like BB, Survivor, TAR and even then they can throw in twists to foil plans. But it would never hurt for a survivor to know how to fish or to start fire, or for someone to be in good condition (except for biggest loser)

Shauna and Cedric's lyrical was lyrical. Very nice I liked it. It was different though but I liked it.

Jessi and Pasha were supposed to do cha cha. Jessi was taken to the hospital this morning. Looks like it could be a heart problem. If she can't "dance for her life" tomorrow night (I'd say it's doubtful), she will be eliminated. Pasha danced with choreographer / teacher's pro partner. Did fine.

Gosh, I remember watching Tony Meredith and Melanie dancing in those ballroom championships on PBS before they retired. They were always my favorites. Of course, she was a teeny little thing back then. If that girl has an abnormal EKG, I can't imagine her being cleared to "dance for her life" tomorrow. Maybe they'll give her a free pass into next year's competition. I haven't watched the show much this season. Has Debbie Allen been a regular this year, or was this her first show? I remember wishing last year that they could get her on as a choreographer.

I wonder if they made sure Jessi and Pasha were last, and didn't say anything about Jessi's medical problems till the end of the episode to make sure the viewer's were shocked?? Pretty sure they did. Doesn't sound like she'll be back, especially if she's still undergoing tests and problems with her EKG. I wonder if the heart issue was brought up from all the physical stress from dancing so hard and so often?? I'm sure it was a condition she already had, but it never "flared" up because she wasn't working so hard consistently. PS - And no offense meant to anyone (I'm not exactly light either) but I was proud of Pasha when he lifted/held Melanie over his back. You could see where the routine had been changed a bit to allow for the partnership.

Neko, I noticed that too. Good job, Pasha. I haven't watched SYTYCD regularly this or past seasons. Judges give positive / helpful comments and criticism, but often the praise is way over the top, IMO.

Debbie Allen is guest judge this week only, they said. She has offered Cedric a scholarship to her dance academy. Judges were talking as if Cedric would be let go next, but I wonder if all the talk will actually stir people up to vote for him??? I was trying to think who I would put in bottom 3. It is REALLY hard this year. I do think Cedric should be there, and the pair who did the tango, and possibly Danny and Anya.

I loved Hok and Jaime's "bird" dance (what a lucky combination of dancer and choreographer!), Sabra and Dominic's rumba, Shauna in the Mia Michael number, Sara and Jesus, Lacey and Cameron in their quickstep.

My stupid cable company seems to have decided that tonight's show isn't a new one!! So it just didn't start recording. I realized that at 8:13, but still.. sheesh! Wow Cedric is really polarizing the judges and now we have another third judge, ACK. LOL, GOD put him on this show? Cedric himself, seems like a great guy, for sure.

A scholarship to Debbie Allan might be worth more anyway.. but they shouldn't count the votes until tomorrow, IMO. I didn't mean HE is polarizing them, but the subject of Cedric clearly is.

Sad to hear about Jessi. Tired of hearing Cedric speak (I feel like he's looking for the sympathy vote) again just my opinion (so don't kill me) hahaha

I think Cedric has much to learn. I hope Jessi's ok. I loved Hok & Jaimie's performance. Dom & Sabra's too.

I thought Mary was beyond brutal to Cedric...he handled the whole thing w/grace and I will be surprised if he goes tomarrow (oh wait forrgot judges actually have a say in the end) did Mary diss Mia's routine....looks like a storm a brewing there

I can't believe how much I am loving all of these contestants!! Man, I wish Idol were this good. I really really don't want to see anyone leave (ok, well Cedric can go, but what a lovely personality) It looked like Mary thought that Ced was playing for votes with the expression on her face (lol). I was suprised the way that she so aggressively asserted that he should go. Interesting that Nigel called saving him a 'mistake.'

I was disappointed in Mia's choreography because normally she's so impressive, but having Cedric sit out nearly 1/2 the dance was just not a good idea. I loved the crumping (gosh, did i just say that?! LOL) I also loved the hummingbird/flower dance. Those 2 were just stunning. I also threw a few votes to #5 -- I think they did the Rhumba. Is there a limit to how many votes we can cast? I can't remember.

Whew.. that doesn't sound good for Jessi.. hope it isn't something permanently bad. I agree that just having Cedric sit there was sure to bring criticism. Huk and his partner blew me away! Actually Mia also mentioned that keeping Cedric couldn't continue, so I think they are all conflicted, but he may not be bottom three if there is a large sympathy vote or anti judge wave. I must say, I always love this show and while I may not agree with every decision or every word the judges utter, but there is just so much talent on that stage and I do think the judges are honest, even if overly enthused at times. I think the dancers really love dancing, the choreographers love their jobs and there they are watching and taking in the performance and loving the reactions and the judges also love the dancing and the dancers. Really one of my favorite shows.
