I think that was one of the first times I've seen a dancer get bashed by the choreographer like that in the rehearsals! Usually, it is like "X is really catching on quickly and hopefully she can help Y come up to speed." Mia sort of strikes me as a "thrives on controversy" type person, anyway.

I thought she was protecting her own ego and rep, like 'if this routine doesn't amaze you or disappoints, keep in mind it is his fault...I tried' she looked so disappointed, I really expected him to suck. after seeing how well he peformed, it was hard to understand why she had such low expectations have to say tho, loved her choreography. I expected it to be samey cuz mia def has a distinctive style, but I thought there were a lot unique movements that held my interest throughout

I enjoyed all of their dances except for the last couple doing the disco. They just didn't look right to me, and most often she had bent knees. But all the rest? They really did a great job! Looks like they've totally upped the ante this year, with the choreographers starting out with really difficult routines. Love it!

I'm under the impression they usually always show difficulty in the rehearsal, like the guy dropping the girl or the girl repeatedly kicking the guy, so that when they perform flawlessly live, we can be really "wowed" by it. We're being manipulated. And if someone is not watching because of rehearsal footage, that is just a shame! They need to be informed of this game the producers are playing.

It wasn't the rehearsal footage and a choreographer has never bashed someone like that. and when a person really likes the kid and hears that he's done so badly, maybe they didn't want to see it. and these people are aware of this. this is not the first season.

I still think it's a shame that a viewer would listen to one comment on TV and then turn away?! I just don't understand because if I had heard someone I admired didn't do well, I would want to see it for myself. If it wasn't during the taped rehearsal, then when was it that Mia was making comments? She wasn't miked last night, just sitting in the audience. And she gave a big thumbs up to him after the dance.

During the rehearsal tapes, they show private interviews with each contestant and the choreographer. Mia talked about him during that part.

Mia is an amazing choreographer. But as they said last night on the show, I'm not sure I wanna know what's going on inside her head. That said, she can really pull some interesting moves from her dancers, and her choreography rocks!

I felt sorry for the couple that got Disco as their dance. When they announced it, I thought "Uh-oh". It seems that Disco choreography never seems to hit the mark. The yellow costumes didn't help much either.

that disco dance was choregraphed badly. It put the funky 70s moves in with the disco ballroom dance and it didnt go together well. I suppose those 2 will go first. I didnt feel the waltz couple but how to compare waltz to some of the other super exciting routines? ITA that we needed 2 shows before we voted

so are they not picking who goes this time around? I thought voting only happened at the top 10? Could that have anything to do with keeping Cedric last season and letting all the good dancers go...hmmmmmm......

No, they pick who goes. We get to vote and the bottom 3 couples dance for their lives. We could send the same couple into the bottom week after week, but the judges ultimately decide who goes after each person dances solo. they are eliminated as solos, so who ever loses their partners get paired up. Now, in prior seasons didn't it seem like they drew partners from a hat? This season it seems they were paired up on purpose (like the two tall ones were put together, etc.). Do we know how the pairs were selected?

Isn't there usually pictures/names of the top 20 at the top of the page? Or do we wait till it's down to the top 10? It would help me so much when posting my opinion on the dancers, especially early on when I don't know them very well.

If anyone is in the LA area and interested in attending next week's shows, let me know. Tix are available for Monday's performance taping, Thursday's ensemble taping, and Thursday's live results show. (I can't make it or I'd go!)
