Are they going on tour? They did not mention it when the 11th couple left that they would be alternatives. Nor did they mention it last night. I do not see how they could not go on tour. Besides we always go to a show.

Yes, before the show that had the final elimination to get to the top 10, Nigel mentioned that after that night we'd know who would be going out on tour.

Babyjax, thx for the info and ITA! I do love the Shankman! I guess I would like them to rotate out Mary and put in some of my other favs.

I'm really getting tired of Mary. Yeah, she's a ballroom expert, but I thank gawd every time that I can FF her screaming. It's really getting unattractive. A little bit of screeching goes a real long way and I'm sure she could think of other ways to show her excitement.

She doesn't seem to be screaming quite so much this year. DH thinks somebody asked her to tone it down. I do like to hear her comments, but wish she wouldn't screech. Adam Shankman does, too, poor guy!

I'm loving reading some of the posts here. In a lot of things, I'm seeing it the same way. This year is just offering us a bunch of great dancers to make our favorites. So far, I've liked all of them. There was that one week when Nathan and Mollee really grated on my last nerve, though! LOL Since then, they've gotten a lot better, especially Mollee. But I think it's because she's gotten away from the giddy atmosphere with Nathan and on with some more "grounded" dancers who are helping her bring something else to the floor. (Still not impressed with her gymnastic solos, though. Where's the beef?!) Sorry to see Noelle leave last night. She was a bubble of fun to watch and is a fantastic dancer! And "something about Mary" ... I agree. I think both Nigel and Adam are just being nice about all that screaming in their ears. I'm sure they want to find her OFF button. LOL

Last week Adam had told Nathan he should do something about his profile clip, bc some of the other dancers might be Mother Theresa (I forgot exactly what Adam said, but this is the gist I got). In doing that, I think Adam created the idea that any emotion Nathan showed was false, which I didn't think was fair to him; they kept labelling him. I'm not happy or sad that Nathan and Noelle are gone, I think they are both wonderful dancers, but I do favor some of the others more in this competition. I think it's getting tougher for them, though, next week they really have to step up their performances, which will be great for we the viewers. Here are some December 2, 2009 elimination show pictures and clips. The Top 10 Performing a Jazz Routine by Tyce Diorio Clip Cat Deeley

Nigel told Nathan to be careful what he says in the profile clips. When other dancers say they spend their time helping feed people in Africa, Nathan's saying he likes to spend his time going jet skiing isn't going to come off well. It was something like that. That top 8 picture is odd. Some are still in their performance costumes. And Noelle and Ryan are in their solo costumes.

That is Katherine,they took off their costumes to do their solos and that pic was taken after nat/Noelle left. The others didnt have to take off their costumes since they didnt have to perform

It was apparently taken right after the show. Ryan and Kathryn (not Noelle ) had just done their bottom 2 solos so that's why they're dressed differently. The rest of the cast was still done up in thier group costumes.

Evidently neither Mary nor the show want her to tone down the screetching or it would happen. Lowering your register and talking in a more modulated tone is not too difficult to master. She definitely does not have a voice for tv! I like her, but there are times I want to mute the tv when she is on. I always like the dancers at this point. Such talent and you feel like you know them. Wish they would do a reunion show with dancers from all seasons. I'd love to know what they are doing. I love it when some are back as choreographers, like Travis, but would like a whole show (or more) highlighting past competitors. It would be fun to see the clips they do from the auditions to throughout the show to where, and who, they are now.

Yesitsme, I routinely turn the volume down considerably when it's Mary's turn to critique. Awful! They need to sedate her.

I was referring to what Adam had said, not something Nigel said--this time anyway. I stand by my opinion that some of the judges mischaracterize some of the dancers throughout the show. Just because it's always been done, doesn't mean I like it or blindly follow along. I have to mute Mary also, but it's cute when the dancers get excited that she's excited by their performance. I noticed she's not been doing it as much this season too, maybe she's just worn out from the summer screaming, lol.

If that's true, then I know who her choreographer is. He was twittering about his female dancer being injured. He said she was better, yesterday, and hoped she would make it through rehearsals ok. He seemed to be optimistic about it.

Jakob and Mollee:Joey Dowling & Jason Gilkison Legacy and Ellenore:Travis Wall and NappyTabs Ryan and Kathryn:Dorianna Sanchez and Jason Gilkison. Russell and Ashleigh:Shane Sparks and Nakul Dev Mahajan. One of the dancers couldn't dance(it wasn't Ellenore) One dance got a standing O. Another got high praise too. One danced as Santa in their solo. One dancer got overly praised(in the opinion of the spoiler).

I predict it was Legacy and Ellenore doing either Travis' or NappyTabs' dance that gets the standing O!

I hope you're right, Costa! I love Travis Wall. I think he will outshine even Mia Michaels, someday, with his choreography. ETA: I love Russell.

He has the worst luck with partners this season though.
