I really thought that Dominic should have left. Even he did. LOL

Remember, if the show has aired on the east coast, you can talk about it here. Without spoiler tags, if you wanna. And I'm not surprised it's Jaime and Kameron. Jaime just didn't seem to really "shine" during her solo last night, and I can't even remember who she danced with! Kameron, well, I've never been that in love with him and Nigel was right about him last night. I'm glad Lauren's still in it... she really rocked it last night! I was afraid she'd be a goner after last week.

I have been liking Lauren a lot lately. I think she has a lot of heart and really goes after it when she dances. Her solo last night was great. In contrast, I thought Jaimie was boring and just went through the motions in her solo. She is a beautiful dancer, but you have to after the win. Kameron was the right one to go for the guys. Cute boy, but it was just his time.

Costacat, Totally agree. Jaime was a beautiful dancer but I never really felt her solos, Kameron as well. I'm really glad dominic is still there, while I thought his waltz with Jaime was awful, his previous dances have really been surprisingly good, so I'm glad he gets another chance. Hopefully he can raise his game. Pasha needs to raise his game too! I'm glad he is still there though. I love all of the remaining girls but my fave is Sabra. *getting on soapbox* : I'm sick of the comments by the judges (in particular mary) about hoping "America doesn't get it wrong". This is a competition for "America's Favorite Dancer" not Mary Murphy's Favorite Dancer...(and we all know Anya would win that show)!!! All I'm saying is maybe my favorite dancer isn't yours but majority wins so pft on you mary murphy! *stepping off soapbox*

You all don't mind Lauren's mugging? She just irritates me. Oh well to each their own.

Here are some of my thoughts on tonight's show: First--I am so so so sorry that Hok left last week instead of Kameron. Of course Kameron wasn't available to eliminate last week because he's been "protected" by Lacey for so long. I feel very comfortable with the final 10 going on tour except for the fact that Hok won't be going and Kameron will. The tour will even be coming to my city, but it would be just too painful to see the company without Hok. It's interesting, because on his website, Hok writes not to let watching the show or going to the tour be affected by his absence. I agree re watching the show; there are still some great dancers there. But the tour requires effort and $$$ and if I won't really enjoy it, I don't see the point. Enough of that .... I really thought Dominic outdid himself in the solo tonight; should really increase his popularity for next week. I don't think I have ever seen him do that free-standing head spin before, or if so, have long forgotten. I was surprised that Jamie left over Lauren...however Lauren's hip-hop Shane Sparks number with Pasha was great last night, and partly due to the mish/mash paso/waltz choreography, Jamie's was not. I also wonder what they will do next week for the solos: somehow I think having everyone repeat the same number is not the best idea....unless they showed them split screen so you could really compare. Even Nigel got bored. The only ones I really remember are Sabra, who was outstanding in Wade's "peace" number, and Lacey, because it was the first solo she ever performed. I took a kitchen break during the performing artist...still wish they would feature more guest dancers. Pasha I think has built a real fan base, especially since his week of the Benji choreography, when I think he took a few tips from Benji for breaking out of the ballroom only mold. His intro solos beginning with that time show him with lots of personality and different styles of dance. I wondered most what would happen with Danny tonight. Personality-wise, he's still not my favorite, but he must have made some kind of break through with the audience to not even be in bottom two. I was really surprised to see Dominic in bottom 2, had been thinking it would be Danny and Kameron, with Kameron going home. I really hadn't thought about who I expected to see in bottom 2 with Lauren, but Lacey I think is real popular, Sabra is fantastic, and Sara had a great closing disco number last night.

Additional thought: Neil is really blossoming--I potentially see a Lacey/Sabra/Neil final three.

I think Lauren has an unfair advantage because she worked with some of the dancers last year. She's also just too "peppy" for me. Lacy is too "programmed". Other than that, I can live with anyone else winning.

I think Neil is da bomb... I can't figure out why the judges don't seem to want to warm to him.

Well I have so much to say! First, I want to agree with those who thought it was not the best performance show ever. None of the dances made it to my videotape of permanence. I liked the hip-hop, but there was a crawl about a local flood across the bottom the whole time. And I loved Neil's flip in the disco number! Wow! The performance at the beginning of last night's show was one of my favorite dances of all time and it really showcased Danny's talents. Wow. I got chills, and it is definitely going to the tape. I did not realize there was a controversy either about the jacket or the peace dance because we are so much more civilized here than on the show boards. Has anyone checked those out? Yowza. Anyway I thought the apologies were sincere whether they were necessary or not. The tour! Tickets go on sale August 11 at 10 am. If everyone wouldn't mind please waiting a few minutes for me to get my tickets first... I hated to see anyone go but I guess I can live without Jamie or Kameron.

Jaimie leaves and Lauren stays? My t-shirt says "bewildered"!

Also was surprised that Jaimie left so early, especially against Lauren but those are the breaks. Really speaks to the nature of turning the selection/non-selection process over to the public and phone calls. From now on it's as much a popularity contest, if not more, than an ability contest. Maybe the Jaimie fans thought she was so safe that calling in was not necessary. It's not that we have anything against Lauren but we thought, overall, Jaimie was a better dancer or at least more entertaining to us. Oh well.....

I think Jaime is a beautiful dancer, but she seems to have lost something the last few weeks. None of her dances have made me really sit up and notice. Lauren is really progressing and, although the judges are not in charge any more, it's something that gets drilled into our subconscious. Beth, I find it interesting that you are against attending the show tour since Hok is no longer going to be on it. How do you know you won't enjoy it? How do you know that this top 10 -- choreographed and rehearsed to perfection -- won't be enjoyable?

I would have been much more likely to buy a ticket if Hok was going to perform, but I'm sure it will be enjoyable. I would've loved to have seen Hok do that dance they all did. Sabra is amazing.

I have loved Jaimie from the beginning, but Lauren is awesome. eta - I agree with Costa's comments on the two
