Schwimmer contingent or not, I'm just tickled to see another West Coast Swing dancer representing! YAY! And unless she really wows, I don't think that girl who said she wouldn't try out again will last long. What a huge turn off.

Those last 2 girls looked really drained as they were standing in front of the judges. But, you know, I could fully understand why she said she wouldn't try out again. To me, it didn't mean that she was a quitter, but more that this particular process was too much for her to do again. I did not think she was giving up dancing, just being realistic about her chances of making it a 3rd time. Unfortunately, I agree that she will probably be voted off very early because of what she said.

Roxip, I totally think they set her up to fail by showing that drama. I loved how her friend spoke up for her and explained why she said what she said. That girl will have to totally wow us or she will be in bottom 2 I am afraid. I like Carrington and Twitch, really I like almost all of them so far.

Update on Robert Muraine. Most likely returning next year. Probably not going to train outside his style. May appear in Ikea commercial during next SuperBowl. Says he stays true to himself. Also Phillip Chbeeb was sick. He got a pass to Vegas next year. No info on Michael Kim.

I agree with Kooklie....I think that the judges blew that way out of proportion. She didn't say she was going to quit dancing, she said she probably wouldn't try out again. What a big setup! All those kids were exhausted. So, if you don't try out for SYTYCD, you're a failure? Come on, give me a break!

I can see where the judges were coming from. They believe to succeed in the dance world you have to have a strong will and never quit...she was seen as a quitter who let a bit of adversity get her down. As a viewer I don't really have time for the faint of heart....I think of the dark haired girl last year that kept being on the block (gee, can't remember her name at the moment) and would dance her heart out each time they had the dance off. She ended up being in the final four. That's the stick-to-it-ness is what they (and I) want to see. Now the show has started and they have the weekly grind and emotion of having to learn everything quickly and then face being voted off and see your friends and partner go through the same... can you imagine how this will hit her? Hopefully she will learn a lesson with all of that and if she is feeling it, hide it. She's a performer, for goodness' sake!

Travis looks better as a woman than I do! I love it! I loved his strut off stage LOL I keep catching random episodes of this. I' haven't gotten into a TV watching rhythm ever since we came back from that strike related span of repeats back in March and April.

They grow up so fast! Any theories on the identity of the new mom? Post your guesses in the comments.
It's Allison Holker, I believe. Someone congratulated her on her Myspace page and said that "Weslie is adorable."

Kooklie - I agree with you. I think it was unfair how the judges reacted to her statement based on what we saw of the conversation. She was asked if she would try again next year - you could see on her face that she was tired and worn out. And like someone else said, just because they decide to not try out for SYTYCD doesn't mean they are quitting dance all together! I also didn't like the way that Nigel dismissed the Popper when he left. "Well let's get on with people who DO want to be here" or whatever he said. It was totally dismissive. He didn't say he didn't want to be there, but he had never done choreography before and you could tell he wasn't getting it. He wouldn't have made it past the first round - they weren't giving people the chance to dance for their life until round 3 it looked like anyway. He was honest about it, and frankly I thought he was being caring by not wanting to screw someone elses chances by being a bad partner. I'm really glad that Twitch made it, and the other hip-hopper from Tex (that was wearing the doo-rag thing). I like Kherington has well. I'll probably end up liking most of them actually. I was really sorry that the tap-dancer got herself in trouble - but then again, I didn't really think that what she said was all that bad and the judges blew that out of proportion as well. Sometimes I think the judges get a little to high on their horses for their own good.

Did Claire surface again this year? The one who injured herself in a previous season, was promised a spot the next season--but found herself pregnant at the time?

Yes Beth. She however was cut rather early in the Las Vegas callbacks. (I can't remeber when.)

is tthere a utube of Travis as the girl...I thought I had seen all eps of this but have not seen him as a girl. Beth, she looked great but her dancing didnt seem as strong as it was 2 yrs ago. She really tried though.

Thanks Msbullwnkl and Pamy! When on the show did Travis do his routine? Was it in the midst of all the audition tryouts?

Beth, I think it was at the end of the day's audition. Loved it when Nigel asked "You're not Ryan Seacrest, are you?"

It was on the last day of the final audition city. Travis put alot of thought into the dance. Some of the moves I recalled from some of the 'failed' auditions.

On the last eliminations towards getting the top 20, the dancer whose mother is a choreographer wasn't put through bc of her not showing more personality (as in dance, not that they didn't like her), but then another dancer was put through in spite of his not having the personality-type they were looking for; the judges said he could work on it. That didn't seem quite fair to me. I forgot her name, but she was the one I was rooting for and it didn't make sense, she could have worked on that aspect of her dance as well. Did anyone else notice that?

I noticed they didn't put her through. And it is a shame because they were so high on her...she must really not have been very good during the Vegas auditions to have not made it through...perhaps they think that she will be more developed if she returns next year. This was the first time I watched the auditions and I was impressed that they encouraged people to try out again when they perhaps are a bit more polished.
