I was also sad to see Ricky go, and didn't understand their thinking. He was such a fantastic dancer - Mia's favorite! I thought the 'personality' justification rang a little strange... it reminded me of ANTM, which seems to like to boot the prettiest girl first.

I am really enjoying this season though. I'm in constant awe of the contestants' phenomenal energy, precision and innovation. I mean, it's mind blowing.

Although, I am a tad concerned that one of those head spinning guys is going to break his neck

I wonder if Ricky would have gone if Mia had been on panel this week.

This group is so outstanding that every week I will be bummed to see whoever go. I have decided to pick my top 3 favs and just be happy they are still there!! LOL....now I just have to figure who they are! I know HOk is, I love his dancing and his spirit.

Hok is cute, so is Pasha... actually, they all are. Most of the girls look samey to me though. They are all amazing, how do you choose one over another??

me! I was the one feeling guilty about Allison going and I never voted back then!

Something bugs me about this whole siblings on the show. Like the dance world is so small that you just have to bring in the siblings of former contestants. Do you all think it makes for good tv? If one gets cut, it's not "Lacey got cut" it will be "Benji's sister got cut"

Would the show be any worse or better without them? What do you all think?

I work in the dance world and I find it hard to believe that those dancers are better than others that might have gotten cut over the 3 siblings on the show. DOn't get me wrong, I think Lacey and Danny are talented, just being devils' advocate.....Faina..not so much JMHO!

Also wanted to comment on how fabulous the lighting is for each particular dance! I love that they pay attention to that detail on this show.

Danzdol, what weaknesses have you noticed with Faina? I ask this sincerely, as someone who does not have formal dance training... the judges obviously felt something was lacking with her performance last week, and it surprised me.

Faina wasn't anyone's sister, yes?

I think Lacey was picked for her personality. Dunno about Danny.

I've been thinking about the sibling thing. I think they shouldn't be penalized just for having a previously talented sibling and the ones this year seem very talented. Some talents (or training) does run in families. Lots of younger siblings in sports families. Maybe they got unfair advantage at getting into training but if they can cut it, they succeed.

I'm always impressed at the depth of talent in this show. First elimination and it was already hard.

It IS hard when some of them get paired up awkwardly or get less appealing choreography or when both members of a pair get a style that neither of them have done, but adapting is the name of the game and at least they get to dance individually for the judges.

I think it was sad for Ricky to go, but i also think he didn't dance for his life well enough and the girl who left, definitely didn't put it out there.

Sharinia, I think, like a lot of the ballroom dancers or the more one styled dancers that she is capped when it comes to other styles. In hip hop, simply in putting that extra umph and perhaps in the rest of the styles when asked to show some more technique.

I don't think people realize how hard it was what Benji and Heidi achieved last year not being "technically" trained dancers. By tehnically I mean with basic ballet technique. They pulled off all the stops and Benji managed to win. (I voted for him too!)

If you note, the final dancers are usually very experienced with technique with a classical dance background which makes it easy for dancers to mold in pretty much any style or have been able to play it off really well.

On a personal note, Faina has just not won me over. Perhaps it's her lack of expression???? I don't know, it's just my opinion.

Thanks Danzdol! Wow, I didn't realize that Benji and Heidi lacked 'technical training.' Heidi was my favorite last season.

good TV guide article re this show including the following:


Because the judges keep their word. Last season Nigel Lythgoe and Co. were so impressed by wispy ballerina Claire Callaway that when she bruised her right ankle, they reserved a spot for her in this year’s Vegas semifinals. She was noticeably absent — but there was still a space for her. “The offer was out there, [but] she couldn’t do it,” says judge Mary Murphy. Why? “She is pregnant.”

Also, when judge and hip-hop choreographer Shane Sparks had to tell Bryan Gaynor — the pop-locker with scoliosis — that he didn’t make the cut, Sparks didn’t let him leave empty-handed; he promised Gaynor a part in his new dance movie. We checked and Gaynor has indeed been cast in Backdown.

That makes my day!!! I can't wait until the movie comes out.

Maybe they will bring him back for a special performance during one of the results show. Can we start a campaign for that?

I hope they bring him back for the finale. I loved his audition but I feel he needs to do something else. (different routine not different style). He's an inspiration.

Agree Mocha. I thought the guy (Neil?) did much better than last week.

considering neither had done Samba before, it wasn't too bad. I thought Hok did great considering he is a hip hop dancer!
