Arrgh.. I actually was offered a chance at tickets to last night but it involved going to the rehearsal early in the morning and then you would be guaranteed to get in for the night (late afternoon) taping.. only thing was I had (well, I thought I had, a doctor appt at 11am in Orange County .. even farther away from LA.. and I had waited 2 months for it (of course it seems it was really a different date, so they worked me in today). And of course last night's BB comp I wanted to see.. but still.. I'm not as excited this year and the tour isn't coming to Orange County (not sure why.. it was sold out or very close last year and I really enjoyed it) but I was more into last year's dancers anyway. I guess I'd be tempted to go to LA or San Diego, but need some motivation. Was fine with Melissa going but not rabidly behind the others. Sad that Ade was the one to leave instead of Evan (I like him, but would rather watch Ade Dance) I don't know if they are pushing for a female winner but I think Brandon should win.

Last night (I think) Melissa said she didn't do hip-hop, but (pointing to the choreographer) said she had a chance to do it during a group routine. So, I guess that's no. I like her. Being a ballet dancer, then trying all these new styles, she's done so amazing. And maybe Evan's broadwayesque style appeals to a lot of people and get's him votes, but I also think he's been more consistent in executing his performances, which then becomes more memorable. I'm sorry about the mix-up, the fall and season 6 is only a month away, maybe you can see if you can get tickets for it. And I still think this seasons problems are bc of the divided attention between 5 and 6. I found a site that autoplays photos from this seasons right here.

I thought Melissa did an awesome job on all the styles she had to dance. I thought she picked up the styles better than any of the dancers that left before her. I was sorry that she never got to do hip hop (the luck of the draw or whatever, because I know Jeanine did three routines). I disagree that Evan's been more consistent in executing his performances. He's been pretty much called out on every ballroom dance he did. Sea, when is the tour coming to San Diego? Do you know? I know I could go look it up but it's still early here and I'm feeling lazy!

Well, it would have been pretty hard for Melissa to do hip hop in those toe shoes, don't you think? Did you notice how tall Evan looks in that photo above? Maybe it's the angle (or the leaning thing again), but he looks taller than anyone else there. Maybe he's on tip toes. At this point it's hard to see anyone go home. I would've been sad for any of them to leave. I'm still missing Janette. I think she had the most personality and tackled everything they threw at her with enthusiasm and skill. Hopefully, we'll see her at the finale. I think any of the remaining dancers could win. They're all very talented. It will be interesting to see who America considers it's favorite dancer. After the fiasco of American Idol this year, I'm going to try not to take it so personally this time.

I don't mean that Evan didn't have any negative feedback, I mean that I thought the negative feedback to Ade became more memorable than the routine, whereas the routines were more memorable with Evan. Maybe the judges nitpicking Ade is what I'm thinking, I'm not sure, lol.

Why do several posters keep saying things about Melissa and her toe shoes? As far as I can tell she has only worn them in the solo preformances or in the dance that called for them.

She has worn them every time, but it was because she didn't always know if she'd be having to do a solo or not. She has NOT worn them during any performances other than the pas de deux and her solo performances. So I dunno.

It was a JOKE (about the toe shoes).

Babyjax, I saw them on Mediatakeout.com. I don't know how to go back to past pages on that site, so the best bet is to google for them.

No, I was not singling out one person, I have seen several people (not only on this board) comment about her always wearing toe shoes. I was just wondering why people were asking about it.

I actually thought people were just trying to be funny in a sarcastic way, not being mean or anything, bc she is a ballerina. I'm gonna miss Melissa this week Ade and Melissa

How do people know it's Ade in those photos that they say were on a gay website? The pics I saw that carried the "story," the guys face was covered. He had a similar hairstyle and body frame, but when I compared the shape and size of the head (hidden face), I didn't think it was him, and there was no pick in his hair; not that it would mean anything. I could be wrong, I'm just wondering why it's being touted as if it really is him when the only pics I've seen hide the guy's face; therefore it hasn't been substantiated as fact. However, due to it being assumed that it's him, it's plausible it might have affected votes for him.

I think Ade was eliminated bc of the reasons people have been chatting about since last week, Evan's Broadwayesque and huge fanbase, and Brandon's outstanding solo and strong routines, etc. For me, the rest is nonsense. Also, I've never read or heard one person say anything derogatory about Ade, just this here, which really came from someplace else. I like Ade, he's a wonderful dancer and I hate to see this gossip go around and around, he doesn't deserve it, regardless.

I agree. It didn't affect my voting for him at all. It's plausible it could have affected others because the pics were kind of raunchy, but probably not likely. It was put out there at the very last minute. I just don't think it's fair to Ade for it to be stated emphatically that it's him in those pictures, when the face was covered and there's no facts to support it or any admission on his part.

I never heard anything about Ade being in any pictures, and believe me, I read the celebrity news. I can't believe a significant portion of the voting audience ever heard of this, much less allowed it to influence their voting. I think somebody had to go home, and this time it was Ade. 3 talented dancers were left, and he was the unlucky one.

Naked Ade pics?? that would probably make some call more! Brandon has the most perfect body, every inch of it is perfection.

The first time we saw Brandon, DH looked at me and said, "Do you think he goes to the gym?" He is ripped.
