I just read on another board that Caitlin and Phillip were eliminated.

I heard Janine was all "hoochie" with belly button and boobs. So she was in the bottom. (Well she would be if Phillip was!)

No way, I thought they would keep Philip at least to the final 10.

The other board did say that both Caitlin and Phillip would be going on tour...so maybe that was the compromise.

Bottom three were Melissa and Ade, Janine & Phillip, and Jason and Caitlin, I think.

I suspect that next week Jason will be gone. He's been in the bottom 3 so many times. He just doesn't seem to have any fan base.

I am not as vested in the individuals this year like I was last year. I also agree, as someone said above, the choreogrphy is just not that memorable to me.

Last year, there was so many memorable dances. Brandon & Jeanette's dance last night is the first one that I actually will remember in the future.

I figured Caitlin would be the girl to go. I thought Philip's fanbase would keep him in, I am glad it didnt he was getting weaker every week.

Janette and Brandon transform into different characters every week. This is their comp to lose. I believe Jeanine and Ade will give them a run for their money.

I am surprised M/A were bottom 3 as opposed to Randi and Evan. May have been the style and not really the person.

I can't believe they kept Jason over Phillip!

I think Janine also transforms every week. Heck, she has yet to dance her style, right? She's done really well on all the Broadway and jazz numbers thrown at her.

Jeanette is the one who did the cool trick during auditions, yes? She's a tiny thing!

I really wish I understood why Randi and Evan didn't hit bottom 3.

I think Evan's getting a good portion of the vote. Hopefully, when they split them up, his base will be less.

Voting will be for individuals now.

I didn't like the beginning number, hated the costumes and thought they were lopsided. The women, like the men, are on this show bc of their talent, skill and abilities, not bc of how they look, nor to titillate tools. I can't stand this this season.

I was surprised Ade and Melissa were even in the bottom three, but not surprised that Caitlin and Phillip were eliminated. I'm glad they are going on tour, they worked very hard. I liked what Phillip said, it touched me.

I thought Nigel's whinefest regarding the MJ songs was a bit much. Who knows if it's bc of tie ups with the will, or other factors, but crying about it and acting as if it is a personal affront was over the top to me.

I was thinking that the stronger dancers who would likely make it to the end, have been Melissa and Brandon, but tonight Ade really showed that he is a great performer and how strong he is. Perhaps it's all up for grabs now.

We were also surprised Evan and Randi weren't in the bottom three couples. We like them, they're actually "cute" as a dance couple but Evan is so Broadway and we didn't think he'd kept up his end of the partnership. Guess we'll see now as they'll be switching partners and the voting goes to individuals. Not surprised they "offered" Phillip a slot on the tour because of his unique style and the fact without him they'd not had that available for the tour from any of the remaining dancers. We think Caitlin lucked out, though she is good, and got the same "offer" since she was Phillip's partner.

FWIW, MJ's song catalog isn't controlled by the will at this point. I think if either Sony or the family had approved, it would've gone through. I don't know why it didn't.

Evan is SOOOOO Broadway, and maybe that's why he's one of my least favorite dancers. I don't see him ever being a leading man, either.

I thought Caitlin is better than Kayla and so was hoping Kupono and Kayla would've been in the bottom 3. Kayla's hair just drives me nuts. It's in really bad shape, it's very thin, and her haircut is just awful. The comments about her hair hiding her face during the first dance were spot on... although I noticed it was pinned back for the second. I've always thought Caitlin was a stronger dancer.

My guess is that either 1) they are trying to control 'tributes' to Michael or 2) they upped the price for using the songs and the show didn't want to pay.

I'm sure there are issues of control/power and money involved.

I think they upped the price for using the songs and it p-o'd Nigel and the producers, hence the rant/speak out at the beginning of the show. I'm all for it.. in this greedy corporate world lately everything is about $$$ and how much they can get. To me by him stating -- it may cause other "dancers, teams, studios, companies" to not play the game and dish them as well...

I am almost sure the day MJ died those that owned the MJ song catalog doubled the price of usage...Just like Joe Jackson plugging his new label days after MJ death at every possible media outlet....

Yeah, I don't doubt that Nigel and the choreographers wanted to do tributes.. they were tweeting back and forth about it after the shock wore off.

I know they want to grow the estate, especially to pay off the debt, but I also suspect some real greed is at play as well. Remember that Joe and Katherine did bankruptcy to the tune of $24 million, so that doesn't speak to them as great managers of money.

Caitlan wasn't Phillip's partner, she was Jason's. I am glad they both get to go on the tour.

My top 4 are Brandon, Jeanette, Ade, and Jeanine.

I can't wait to see those girls partnered with Ade. I am also anxious for a Brandon Jeanine partnership.

I think those are my top 4, too, Pamy.

I am so impressed with Janette. I think she is fabulous.

I love Janette too. Can't stand Mary's screams and loud laughs.

I actually like Mary. I get excited to see if she will scream or put them on the train. It is so fun to watch how excited the kids get!

I think the Wade Robson routine was the stand out dance this year, loved the costumes, song, and they danced it perfectly. I have watched it 7 times. and that Tango they did! just amaazing!

Our favorites are Brandon, Ade, Melissa, and Janette in no particular order. Any of them winning wouldn't be a surprise or disappointment at this point. If we have any doubts it might be with Ade and how well or does not do he with other partners. Our take is that Melissa was a great partner for him and their spectacular lifts had as much to do with his power as her ability to know how to be lifted and how to help.
