I think whoever danced the Broadway and the Blackbird dances will be in the bottom. The 3rd one may be Jakob and Ashleigh or Russell and Noelle, which the judges would probably save both. On Mollee and Nathan, I thought Nathan danced it much better than Mollee. But, I was not impressed with the overall dance or choreography. I certainly didn't think it deserved some of the raves from Mary and Adam. Really liked the effortlessness of Ryan and Ellenore's dance. I really didn't want it to end. Travis may be the new Mia Michaels.

I love Travis Wall, both as a dancer and as a choreographer.

Me, too Smokey! He is fabulous. He might just fill in the gap of Mia's leaving! I have enjoyed every single on of his numbers at least as much if not more than some of hers. I'm glad they have him.

Chief, that was not a literal question, I know Nigel's qualifications, but that doesn't mean he has any right to speak to another human being the way he did last week. Like I said, there is a way to speak to people who you are critiquing without being vicious, especially kids your trying to teach. He has skills and talents himself and has the opportunity to share them, lashing out at someone, or the audience, does not do that. I will never change my mind on this, I think he was wrong. And aside from his comment to Karen, I thought that last night Nigel looked like he was getting back to being constructive.

I didn't think Nigel was vicious. I thought he was honest. And FWIW, it's not the first time Nigel has told the audience to shut up. Honestly, I think they deserve it. How would you like to be boo'd? The audience shows some respect and maybe he will, too. I think both Nathan and Mollee deserved the comments they got.

I thought Legacy and Kathryn were outstanding; Russell and Noelle really outdid themselves; I didn't think Victor and Channing were as good as they were last week; I really enjoyed Ryan and Ellenore's routine; Nathan and Mollee did so much better, but didn't seem quite up there with the others; and Ashleigh and Jakob, wow, they were fantastic. However, even though they didn't dance the best routine, I did notice some mistakes, I really liked Karen and Kevin's, so they were my first choice to stay; there was just something about it that drew me in, I thought it was really good. I'm not sure who will go though, I think Victor, Channing, Karen, Kevin and maybe Nathan and Mollee will be at the bottom, but last week was a surprise, so, it should be interesting tonight. Here are some pics from the 11-17-09 Top 14 performance show. Ashleigh & Jakob – Hip Hop (Napolean/Tabitha)
Karen & Kevin – Broadway (Spencer Liff)
Kathryn & Legacy – Paso Doble (Tony Meredith)
Nathan & Mollee – Pop Jazz (Laurieann Gibson)
Russell & Noelle – Fox Trot (Eddie Simon)
Ryan & Ellenore – Contemporary (Travis Wall)
Victor & Channing – Jazz (Tyce Diorio)
Cat Deely
Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy, Adam Shankman

Stormie, I hear ya. I just didn't personally think he was being too hard on them. Sometimes a stern warning is better than a gentle nudge, IMO. However, thanks for posting pics of the show each week. Nice! And Cat's dress was ummm, ugly again this week! LOL Not that it matters at all. I really like Cat, but just had to get that out. Okay, so for everybody who thinks Travis' choreography is great, so do I!! He is great, and is a welcomed addition to the show!

at least her dress didn't make her look top heavy, as she usually does!

Channing and Kevin left tonight. The bottom 3 females were (along with a short blurb about what the judges said after their solos): Channing (Great technical dancer; Not much personality shown so far) Karen (Really great dancer and exciting performer for the show) Mollee (Showing maturity, in her effort to dance for her life, showed why she is in top 20) The bottom 3 males were: Kevin (Really good and has grown a lot on the show, but has a lot to learn when compared to remaining dancers) Nathan (Danced very well; learned valuable lesson last week and can continue to do well) Victor (Very good dancer; Has skills judges want to keep in competition; Warned against doing too many pirouettes.

Oooh, Kevin's a surprise! Channing, not so much. The judges are right... haven't really seen much personality from her. I'm falling off of the Karen love train. I didn't think she was all that hot this week, and it's starting to bother me all the drooling the judges are doing over her. Not surprised Victor stayed because he is a really good dancer. Would've loved to have seen a hip hopper stay over a contemporary, though. Not gonna comment on Mollee or Nathan. Thanks Chief!

I figured Channing would go this week (predicted it last week) I am 2 for 2 on the girls. I thought Vic would before Kev. I think the judges want to see how Karen fares with Vic as her partner. I think they will be in bottom 3 next week.

I was not impressed with any female solos. I didn't see more maturity in Mollee. She just did a few flips ... big whoop. I'm not on the Karen train myself, so she's just whatevah. I personally think that Mollee and Nathan are too immature for this competition. It shows in the way they carry themselves, at least to me. I was ready for one of the contemporary boys to go. They all have the same moves.

What was the song that played when they were showing Channing's journey and saying goodbye? I assume its called Don't Let Me Go since that was sung repeatedly near the end of it but who sings it? I googled and found 3 songs called Don't Let Me Go and I don't know which one it is.

Karen and Victor were my favorite solos. And I didn't see any growth in Mollee either, I thought her solo looked like gymnastics, so I am surprised Channing went instead of her, but I am so glad Karen stayed, I really like her and I hope she does well next week with Victor. I was surprised Kevin went, I wanted to see him go further in this competition, I really like him, so i'm disappointed that he's gone and I guess my choice would have been Nathan; I hope next week he gets his hair out of his eyes, it's making me crazy, lol. Edit: I did not know Mia had left the show, I'm so sad about this. I just read an article about it right here.

I hated Karen's solo (boring to me). I liked Channing's solo but the judges said they were going by past performances and future potential for their decisions. I'm sure Mollee & Nathan will be going soon.

I thought Karen's solo was boring, Mollee's was full of gymnastic tricks, and Channing's was lacking spark. I agree, Lady, I think both Nathan and Mollee are too immature for this competition. I was very disappointed not to see a male contemporary dancer go. Once again, this season will be full of contemporary dancers and honestly, I'm getting bored with their "style" of dance. Loved the Bollywood bit. And totally LOVED seeing Orianthi performing. She'd have rocked MJ's concerts, and it was nice to see her fronting a band. She's got a heckuva resume if you look at who she's played with.

Costa, YES, I loved that female guitar player. She freaking rocks that guitar. I can so see her playing with Santana. Pretty much the highlight of the show last night for me ...

So I haven't watched last night's episode but according to eonline the judges were not impressed with Karen's solo at all...Mary Murphy said it was horrible in an interview afterward. I think if Victor and Karen end up in the bottom 3 next week they will have to let them go...surely the judges can't push their favorites on us...one would think they would realize eventually that they are not reading the public well.

Isn't Karen one of the ballroom dancers? Mary tends to favor ballroom dancers in these earlier eliminations.

Yes, Karen is ballroom. However, Nigel did say the decision(s) were unanimous, so Adam and Nigel favored her, too. Of course, Adam's eyes do the "ow ooo gaa" thing so naturally he'd wanna keep her in.

I think (not positive) that Karen is a salsa dancer. I thought Karen's solo was awful and I've been a fan of hers. My daughter said it reminded her of a stripper dancing without her pole. I even re-wound my recording to watch it again, thinking maybe I missed something. Very disappointing. I agree about Mollee and Nathan. They seem so much younger than other contestants. I didn't think Mollee's solo was that outstanding, and like stated above, full of gymnastics. I was a little sad to see Kevin go.
