Hey Roxi..I feel the same about Pasha and Danny.

My options to go yesterday would have been Anya (which I have wanted since day 1) and Danny just because I love Neil and Jesus more!

I am so upset about the Cedric situation and have been since Ricky left that I am done posting about it after this post. The judges deserve him and I hope they have him there to annoy them until the end to prove that they should have gotten rid of him and NOT Ricky. This is my last sentence about the topic. Done.

Thought Lauren did waste a lot of time and it annoyed me even though she is one of my faves. What was she thinking?

Jessi and Pasha were amazing in their routine.. She looked beautiful and totally enganged me in the routine. I thought her odd choice of a solo was maybe to show her versatility since she had just done something girly and very feminine then why not offset that with a hip hop? I don't think it worked for her but I also thought Anya was average at best It was obvious to me she would be the one to go.

Whatever.

These judges are driving me insane.

I hope Debbie Allen leaves and never returns to the judge.

I just do not ever remember being this upset week after week in the last 2 seasons.

Like someone said above, I try (I really do) to not let it get to me but it's so incredibly hard!

Cricket....thanks for the information. My wife and I caught the neck jerk to the right but couldn't figure out exactly what it was about other than it obviously was in response to the announcement Cedric was safe. Did Mia argue strongly to keep him then abandon the idea when she got a chance to work with him??? Beats me.

Ladyw - Very interesting comment/point of view by your daughter. Neither my wife or I particularly like Neil and keep thinking he'll get let go. Sure, he bails himself out at the last minute "dance for your life" with some pretty good work but his partner work, we think, hasn't been all that good. We don't know enough about dance to know if he uses good technique in his solos. They've been good but are getting to look, like many of the others, kind of the same thing over and over again.

I find this season to be must more frustrating to watch than the other seasons.

But I feel this may have to do with the fact that in the last season, there was so much difference in the calibre of the performances, that it was easy to see and choose who would go.
With this season, everyone seems to be at a higher and more equal level of dancing (With a few exceptions), causing it to be much harder to choose and disagreement with the judges.

I was surprised that the judges kept Sara over Jessi as I thought Jessi had the better solo. But Sara's still my fav.

i'm kind of thinking that Jessi might be sicker than she's letting on. She was really out of breath over the chacha, did anyone else notice that? I do think she did that against medical advise--how could any doctor have let her do that kind of work right after having heart problems? That's the only excuse i can think of. The first girl (Lauren?) was not that good at all, she should have gone. She knew she did bad too. the other two were just okay, but Lauren should have gone. That's not to say i don't like her personally, but i do think Jessi was not as bad as Lauren.

I also thought they might have let her go because of behind the scenes stuff we do not know about. They might explain it a little more at the beginning of the next show....

Mack, last week Mia changed her opinion as to what type of dancer they should keep. Mary voted to evict Cedric and Mia surprised Nigel by voting to keep him. She then choregraphed he and his partners dance this week.

There's a spoiler that she gets frustrated with him next week, as he just can't perform the dance moves. I'm not all that impressed with her choreography. They look like Gumby dancing to me. (Sorry)

a precognitive spoiler? cool :-) Lauren should've gone. Anyone notice how Danny seemed to just stop a few seconds before his time was up? Looked that way to me.

Ketchup, I saw that too, but it was only like 2 seconds, and I think it just seemed weird because most of them are in the middle of a move or then end with a pose, while Danny just sort of stopped.

Well Said!!! Cedric will stay, the judges will not enjoy the rest of the dance, and it will annoy the end.

The judges apparently never watched American Idol or they would know that when you sharply critisize a contestant, that earns them sympathy votes and they don't go home! I was not surprised Cedric was not in the bottom, although he clearly deserved to be. I'm really sad to see Jesus go home. Unfair. :-(

Cricket - Thanks again! Maybe Mia thought she could work with him and found out he just doesn't have the basics. Indeed, while I didn't think of it at the time, Cedric did look like Gumbie dancing at times in the routine. I think Mia probably got to the point where that's all she could do with the time they had to learn the dance. It's learning the dance, not learning how to dance! But I don't blame Cedric and I'm not saying it to be mean....he is a talent but raw and needs training.

Hey Trini ;)

Hey Ketch- I noticed Danny did that. He kind of walked forward or something and just kinda ...stopped....it was a "whatever" attitude.Probably why I am not a big fan.

Something I was gonna mention after Wed. nite's show. It was awfully presumptuous of Mary (and Nigel?) to tell Cedric he was going home after his performance. I thought it was very inappropriate - the viewers hadn't voted... he hadn't 'danced for his life' in comparison to anyone else.... it was just wrong to come out with that imho.

another thing. They said that Mia choreographed an ingenious routine that played to Ced's strengths and limitations. Okay... so given that everyone seems to know what those are, why were they so dang suprised and disappointed that he danced a routine that was tailor made for him?? It's like they saved him for being unique, and then got angry when he didn't perform like Jimmy or Ricky. Who's fault is that??

Ok, I'M done

Danzdol said, "He (Danny) kind of walked forward or something and just kinda ...stopped....it was a "whatever" attitude." Absolutely I noticed that--he walked forward before end of music, and then seemed to just shimmy his legs for a second to fill in. it's definitely one reason I would have eliminated him last night. You are supposed to put your "all" into the dance for your life, and I don't think he did. I am amazed it wasn't even addressed!

And one of the female dancers (I don't remember who) wasted precious time at the beginning of her 30 seconds doing virtually nothing. Hardly any movement. The judges commented on that. She should be gone -- not Jessi.

Thank you very much for the links, Ladytex.
A couple of things from Jessi's interview were really interesting:
1. This was not the first time Jessi had had a health issue during the run of the show; the week before she also had a dehydration episode--
quote from Jessi as follows: "that was actually the second time I had to go to the hospital because last week, I also got really dehydrated." She checked herself out of the hospital, and was willing to dance Tuesday night, but the higher ups said "no", considering it a risk.
2. She is not sure (as are we not sure) that the health issues played into the judges' decision, but it is interesting that only one judge came over to talk to Jessi afterwards, and that was Debbie Allen, who was the one who voted for Jessi to stay, it turns out ("Girl, I had your back, I had your back.")

In her interview she mentioned that this happened twice, becoming dehydrated. Perhaps they thought she wasn't taking good care of herself and didn't want to be subject to being sued?

You mean St. Debbie? One week of her was enough. She can't save them all.

Sea, I thought the same thing. As I recall, Nigel didn't really give her a reason for cutting her, he just sort of said "sorry, you're going home."

Maybe she'll sue for getting dismissed without just cause

I wish she could be on again, or more. The opportunity that she could give some of these kids would be invaluable to those that truly want a career in dance. Her academy is very well respected.

I thought her offer to Cedric was wonderful, he really lit up about it - it was nice to see.
