I am not making things up, just sharing my thoughts, like you said speculation. I never represented that it was fact. I wasnt even being nasty about her.

I am not making things up. I'm entitled to express my opinion and was stating what I thought. Just like you are entitled to your opinion. Just because Pamy and I don't agree with you doesn't make our opinions any less valid.

And Pamy, I noticed that too, about the rest of the dancers. I thought it odd at the moment but then forgot it while I was watching Karen's reactions.

I think Karen is a good dancer, in her own style. I don't think she's a great dancer, and if she allowed herself to become defeated during this competition, then I don't think she's ready for the world of professional dance (which would beat her up a lot more than any reality show competition).

I have to say this. Karen and Viktor's dance when they were dressed in the charcoal gray outfits was very, very good.

However, when Nigel told Karen he felt like she'd given up and her heart wasn't in it anymore, she really didn't have much of a reaction. Maybe she thought she'd never get the audience's support and resigned herself to going home, since she is a partner type dancer and didn't do so well dancing for her life.

Or maybe she thought she'd never go home since she'd been in the bottom before and the judges all constantly gushed over her?

Muffin, I agree with you. Sometimes it's the choreographer's fault but they will never ever say that.

The Wall Street Journal 11-25-09 Interview with Mia Michaels

excerpt

"November 25, 2009
Wall Street Journal
By Kathryn Lurie
Mia Michaels on Why She Left 'So You Think You Can Dance'

When the hit reality series 'So You Think You Can Dance' premiered in the summer of 2005, contemporary choreographer Mia Michaels was an integral part of its rotating cast of choreographers and guest judges. She continued her work on the show for five seasons, earning two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Choreography, and winning one in 2007 for a piece she created to Celine Dion’s “Calling You,” also known as The Bench routine.

Then, on Oct. 14, 2009, she tweeted an enigmatic message that implied she’d be leaving “So You Think You Can Dance,” much to the surprise of the show’s fans.

The Wall Street Journal talked to Ms. Michaels about her reasons for leaving the show, what she has lined up for her immediate future, and why you shouldn’t judge a choreographer by her haircut.

The Wall Street Journal: So many people were shocked by the news of your departure from “So You Think You Can Dance.” Why did you leave?

Mia Michaels: It had been five years — and I was there from day one. Basically, I felt like it was time for me to go because I wasn’t growing anymore, in any capacity. I wasn’t able to expand into a director, creator, producer. I had all these other opportunities in front of me.

Are the rumors that you might get your own show true?

These rumors are very true. I can’t go into details about it, but there are three separate shows we’re working on, and all three of them are very different. One is a choreography show, one is a doc-reality show of a stage show that will be touring the states and the third one was inspired by a Web site called 'Mia Michaels, Please Choreograph My Life'...."

I think Jakob and Ellenore will be amazing and do a beautiful quickstep and then they drew contemporary, which is their genre?, but kind of wince at the thought of Legacy and Ashleigh dancing together. They just don't seem to match physically. I think Ryan and Noelle could be a very good pairing and I can't wait to see their waltz. I like Kathryn so I hope Nathan doesn't bring her down but so far I don't think he's adapted to any other style very well so this might be a disaster for her. Don't see Russell and Mollee as a good pair either.

But I will be happy to be pleasantly surprised.

For the first round I loved Mollee and Russell the most! I thought they all did well. It's hard to know who I want to go this week. I'm thinking Nathan and Ellenore. For some reason Nathan's tears came across as contrived. I love Ellenore but I just love the others more.

Oh I'm not enjoying the second round that much - at least the first 3 couples that have gone. Poor Legacy & Ashleigh. What boring choreography.

I loved Jacob's & Eleaor's second routine. Jacob was amazing in that dance.

Russell and Mollie just finished dancing. It was a fun dance, but I didn't like them together.

Nigel is gushing over Mollie, Mary just stuck them on the hot tamale train, but not Jacob and Melenie?

I am beginning to believe the conspiracy theories about them pushing Mollie for some unknown reason.

Skydiver, I think right now jacob and Ashley are my favorite dancers.

I also enjoy Legacy, but his second dance, was bad. The cape was just way to distracting and kept getting in the way. The costumes on both of them were horrid. I was afraid the poor girl's pants were going to fall down on her in the middle of the dance.

I loved the Jakob and Ellenore Contemporary – Sonya Tayeh dance. I thought it was the best dance of the night.

I hope that Ashleigh doesn't end up going because of her second dance. The choreography was awful, which certainly is not her fault. It is almost unfair to her and Legacy. The gushing over Mollee was just too much for me. Jakob is phenomenal and I love Ryan. I think I would like to see Nathan and Mollee go this week.

I felt really bad for Legacy & Ashleigh. I hope they don't go home because of that second dance either. I'm good with Nathan going but I really liked Mollee. I thought Russell and Mollee's first dance was one of the best of the night along with Jakob & Ellenore's second dance.

I would like to see Nathan go this week. There is just something about him I just don't like. I love love love Jacob he is amazing. I hope Ashleigh and Legacy don't suffer because of that awful Dave Scott dance. I have not liked Molly until she was paired with Russell. I think Russell is just a joy to watch. He puts a smile on my face everytime I see him. If I had to pick a girl to leave it would be Katheryn. I would love to see Ashleigh and Ryan dance together at least once. It would be fun to see them have to do something other then Ballroom.

Sonia must have salivated when she heard that Ellenore was going to be doing her dance. Those two are a matched pair ... both quirky and fun. That routine was fabulous and Jakob showed lots of personality with it, too. That was my favorite dance of the night. I also loved that Ryan/Noelle waltz. That was so beautiful!

Y'all know I cringed when I heard that my Russell was being paired with Mollee, but surprisingly that pairing worked. Kathryn, on the other hand, suffered greatly by being paired with Nathan. Last night cemented for me that he should have gone last week.

I really wasn't impressed by either of Legacy/Ashleigh numbers, especially that last one.

My picks to go home this week? Nathan and ... heck, I don't know. I hope it's not Kathryn, but it very well might be. It might be Ashleigh. I think the only reason that she's still there is because she benefited greatly from Jakob's skill. He was able to help as well as partner. She doesn't have that crutch with Legacy.

Hmm. I thought he was my Russell. :-)

I do love, love, love him! He's made me love this season and I really hope he makes it to the end. I even voted many times last night.

I agree that Nathan should go home. I too felt the tears were contrived (I could see his little pea brain going "Hey, it worked for Legacy") and I thought he had absolutely no connection with his partner. I wanted to slap Nigel when he told Kathryn that she didn't have a connection with Nathan...I wanted to ask him what about Nathan. I could see Kathryn trying her hardest to connect with him and he was just totally into himself. I think he is amazingly talented but, as has been said many times on here before, he is simply way too immature for this competition. His maturity level needs to catch up with his dancing before he will be truly amazing.

I think Mollee really shone tonight in all of her dances and I honestly think she had the best solo. I like all of the girls remaining and honestly don't know who I would like to see go. I think that Noelle, Ashleigh and Kathryn are all in danger and that is a shame. However if Ellenore is the one to go it would really be sad, as she and Jakob were outstanding in their dance last night. I watched it twice and it was so brilliant.

I think Ryan may be in danger if Nathan doesn't go. I think either Legacy or Nathan should go. I think Legacy has really danced above his training in this competition and I think he is amazing at what he does but I don't think he is as good as the praise that has been heaped on him.

I agree that Ryan and Noelle's waltz was simply beautiful.

I kind of want Ryan and Ashleigh to stay on long enough just to be able to see them dance together at some point.

I also think I say amazing way too much.
