Oh, good GAWD...if the judges bad mouth Evan tonight, it is only going to make people vote harder for him. Isn't that usually the way it works??? Is it possible he might actually win this thing???

Evan is very popular, whether you want to admit it or not. He's had 2 years of building his story up on this show. He came in with a huge fan base.

But...so has Brandon. I mean, he came very close to making the show last season, right? So he also had fans prior to this season, and should have an equally large fan base.

Now that Ade is gone - much to my chagrin! - I'm guessing a lot of Ade's votes will go to Brandon, so I'm hoping he has a shot at winning! But I could be wrong...

It isn't that I dislike Evan. I actually enjoy him. And I understand that he is popular. I'm just not sure I think he should win!

That's exactly how I feel, Carmenv. I think Evan is darling, sweet, and a good dancer. He's not a great dancer like Brandon. I will vote for Brandon as much as I can. I split my voting between Brandon and Ade last week.

I think that Evan got a lot of Jason's votes after he left the show. If it's America's Favorite Dancer, then Evan has a shot. If it's America's Best Dancer, It's Brandon. I actually feel for the girls. No one is talking them up much.

If Janette was still there, I'd be voting for her.

I think that if Evan wins (because the "fans" vote for him) that the next guy who can only do Broadway will not make it to the point where the fans are in control of who goes. I think it'd be a huge mistake for Evan to win. So...

Jeanine FTW!!!!

I agree with you Smokey. Janette was my pick for the girls. I liked her better than the two girls who are left. I am hoping for a Brandon win now.

I think Brandon is who I am pulling for. He is both gifted and well trained. So amazing to watch. Stunning. For me this season, based on overall body of work, Kayla would be next, then Jeanine, then Evan.

I do disagree that Evan can only do Broadway. I may have agreed earlier in the season, but I have seen him add a lot of depth through this competition and do some fabulous things. Not sure why he would want to do anything else (I would think for a dancer, that would provide dream jobs), but I think he has more talent than to be put in a box.

ITA with you, Yes. I think that saying Evan can only do Broadway is very insulting to him. I think he has shown that he can do a wide variety of dances and do them very well. I don't necessarily think he should win but the person I wanted to win is gone; Janette.

Is anyone having a problem with the sync of voice to lip movement. It's totally out of sync here and I tried 3 different channels that I get FOX on.

It really puts the dancers at a disadvantage when their music isn't synced real life with their movements.

I'm really interested to know if anyone else is having this problem?

How about "Evan looks best doing Broadway." Yes, he's shown he can do some dances, but honestly, I found his physique not at all enjoyable to watch for some of the dances. Insulting or not, I wasn't really impressed with him doing anything BUT Broadway or jazz. Then again, I've never been a fan of his so whatever.

I think the dancer that is struggling the most tonight is Kayla. Her leaps have no height, she is falling out of turns and positions. I don't know if it the adrenaline from the night or what.

Also, whoever is in charge of the lighting is driving me nuts. Half the time the light is brighter than the dancer, and I can't see them dance. Maybe it is because they are in the Kodak Theater, but I am not a fan of moving the finale.

Second that about the lighting. It was blaring for Evan and Kayla's routine. Really poor camera work. Between the camera work, high definition going in and out, and out of sync - I'm getting a headache!

I think Evan's a sweet kid. He's just not the near the level of the other 3. Unfortunately, I think he has a shot as he seems to be a huge audience favorite. The judges critique may make him a bigger favorite as well.

We voted for the first time ever tonight. Brandon and Jeanine are clearly the best and we decided to vote for Jeanine. Brandon is going to do well no matter and we just slowly but surely were drawn to Jeanine over the past couple of weeks.

I really want Jeanine or Brandon. All of them will get great careers out of this so I won't be totally bummed if they lose. 2 of the DWTS dancers didnt win this show.

Ok - I am not an Evan Fan. I think he is a good Broadway / Jazz dancer. My Fav is Jeanine, However I really thing that Evan was kinda dismissed by the judges... I don't know how to explain it but I really felt that no matter what he does they will never consider him good enough cause he is broadway style.

It makes more sense in my head.

I've voted for Brandon many times and only got a busy signal twice. I really hope either he or Jeanine win.

I wasn't thrilled with tonight's performances other than the Mia Michaels number that the two girls danced. I loved it.

I was surprised Evan would do a variation of his routine he tried out with for his final solo.

I didn't like how the judges let it be known that they don't think Evan is the best dancer. I know it's their job, but I really think it has the reverse effect on the voters and only gets him more votes.

The lighting and camera work loses something for me at the Kodak. They pan back and you can't see what they are doing. I agree they should not have moved it. I prefer the intimacy there.

Group routine - seemed 'fluffy' to me, like a filler without any substance.

Jeanine/Evan (Sonya - Jazz?) - Enjoyed this and agree with Nigel that Jeanine really stands out. When Nigel was saying this, Evan appeared to have a hard time keeping the disappointment from his face. (or maybe he was just tired).

Brandon (solo) - probably wishes he waited til this week to dance the amazing solo he did last week. This week seemed a bit frantic to me like Adam said. The board shorts were a bad choice.

Kayla/Brandon (Tyce-Broadway) - I'm not sure how I feel about this one. It started out good and seemed to lose something in the end for me. I did like the pirrouette that Brandon did with Kayla with her leg stretched out, though. But, they seemed out of sync at the end.

Jeanine (solo tango) - wow, wow, wow! She even had Travis Wall on his feet yelling for her. She deserved the standing ovation. She may have won the whole shebang with that one.

did you people hear brandon's remark when cat was asking evan what is the nastiest thing he's ever done and everyone was waiting for his reply?
i don't think the audience heard brandon say, "I'm excited".
a bit suggestive imo.

Evan/Brandon - They need to let up on the negative Evan comments otherwise, everyone will vote for him. Granted, the performance wasn't that great. All I could think is that I would have liked to see Twitch & Joshua dance that one.

Kayla/Jeanine - (Mia) It was interesting, I think I enjoyed it. My eyes kept going to Jeanine, even though I was trying to keep my attention on both of them.

Evan (solo) - Again, Nigel with the negative. Come on, give him a break. I enjoyed the solo, it's what he does.

Evan/Kayla (jive Tony/Melanie) - They should sue someone for getting that dance as their last dance. The lighting was horrible and it seemed too simple. Like they were in a bar or something. But I agree with Adam - not a finale level routine. It just did not show Kayla and Evan in their best light. I do not agree with Mary that Kayla stole the show.

Kayla (solo) - I think Adam is spot on in his comments tonight. This solo was not that exciting. It was good but not great. It seemed like Nigel and Mary were trying to sell her to the audience as the best dancer.

Brandon/Jeanine (Louis VA, Paso Doble) - This could have been amazing if the lights weren't so distracting. I really have liked all of the dances choreographed by Louis this year. Both Brandon and Jeanine were so intense and wonderful in this piece.

Having seen all the dances, I think Jeanine should win it with Brandon second. But, I wouldn't be surprised if the negative comments cause Evan to sneak in there.
