Haven't seen the entire show, but Adechike's & Comfort's NappyTabs dance was amazing. Just couldn't take my eyes away. Mia finally had some good words for him. Also, Adechike's solo was also awesome. He's really stepped up his game.

ITA!!! I loved both Nappytabs routines the best. Adechike made me cry. I even enjoyed Comfort, she really stepped her dancing. I will watch that one over and over

I truly believe it is Jose's week to go. He is a great kid, but his dancing just hasn't progressed as much as I would like to see. He didn't really dance in his first routine at all.

I agree. I watched last night with half an eye turned toward the show, and the routines that caught both my eyes were the ones by Kent and Lauren and AdeChike's hip-hop routine with Comfort. Jose just didn't grab me, not did Robert, really, although his jazz routine was pretty good.

Watching these routines did remind me how much I adore Twitch.

Unless Billy's knee is such that he feels he can't continue then I'd agree it's probably Jose's week to go. He just seems like such a nice kid and we think he's really trying but he just doesn't have the training. Both of us kind of groaned at his first routine and knew before the judges spoke they weren't going to like the lack of dancing. Certainly an interesting idea and obviously put together to try to hide Jose's shortfalls. Robert seems to be coming on strong and starting to give Kent a bit of a run. After Alex had to leave it really looked like Kent was the odds on favorite, not so sure now.

I think Billy will be going. Not only because of his knee, but he's been in the bottom 3 a number of times. Although, if it were my choice, it would be Jose. Not feeling the Robert Love.

After last night, Adechike is my favorite with, I guess, Kent close behind. I like the way Adechike didn't fall apart from all the Mia criticism, but has really stepped it up. I also thought his paso was better than Jose's.

Kent's 'aw shucks' thing is wearing thin with me. When he's getting his critiques, he's more interested in the fact that he's on stage and people are cheering for him than hearing any constructive criticism. One of the judges called him out on it last night.. as well they should have.

Perhaps I have a block against Adechike, but I barely watched him last night because I was mesmerized by Comfort (who weirdly enough I couldn't stand in her season). I thought he was merely backdrop to her. I also think that these dancers are becoming manipulative (faking tears) so that the audience will empathize with them. But I'm just a grumpy old woman so what do I know! I do agree that he was clearly better in his paso than Jose.

I agree about Kent and his love for his audience. Perhaps he should go on tour with Lady Gaga.

I think Robert is an amazing dancer, but he still leaves me cold. I just don't care for his personality. I think I would like it better if he had come across as more self-assured than as a goofball.

I think Jose is really starting to wear thin. I don't see anything new in his solos. He doesn't appear to be growing.

I thought Lauren was amazing in her dance with Twitch last night. I think sometimes Twitch is so good in his own genre that he can overshadow his partner, but I thought Lauren provided a great contrast to him last night. I wasn't as impressed with her samba but thought her first dance was one of the best of the night.

Totally awesome show! I am shocked that yet another dancer is injured. I wish they could all win, everyone except Jose is such a superb dancer! I also wish he could win for having so much natural talent and for making so much progress! Best season ever as far as the dancers and dancing go...too bad Mia is still there. I thought Mary would be guest judging at least for an ep this season. I would really like to see Lil C too. I liked Shane Sparks too.

I usually find myself watching the All Stars and then tell myself to watch the competitors. I wish I had time to watch each dance three times, once to watch each and a 3rd to not concentrate on the specific dancers.

For the last couple weeks or so I have thought Kent would probably win this. I still feel that way.

I still like Robert, even though I loved Lauren with Twitch--he's always fantastic--I thought Robert outshone everyone else in performances and was best in solos; I'm liking him more and more. I think Billy will go tonight, I don't know how anyone else could go over him, but you never know; he's a really fantastic performer, but his health is more important than this show. I actually agreed with a lot of what Mia said, not so much Nigel, but that's normal for me, lol, she's getting better at critiquing, rather than criticizing. And it was great seeing Alex in the audience, he looks to be mending well.

I was totally in love with AdeChike and Comfort's routine. It's one of the best of the season, for sure. And, like Pamy said, it's one I will watch over and over. I have a couple of those, but not many. I was very pleasantly surprised by how good they were. I don't think the tears were at all fake. I could feel the intense emotion and I think the tears just came naturally as a result of that. I felt exactly how Adam stated.

And, I'm impressed with how far Comfort has come, too. I wasn't a huge fan when she was a contestant, but she's really come upscale.

Stormie, thanks for the pics!! I always enjoy them, this week some of them are jaw dropping! Look at that jump Adechike is doing! wow!

I dont think judges will let Billy go, they love him and cant seem to get that the viewers find him dull. I am prepared for my Jose to leave tonite :-( sniff sniff I dont want him to go but ...sigh...I am prepared.

anyone still here? Eastern Iowa having severe storms and news channel has interrupted the show so I don't know what's going on now.

I'm thinking they will send Robert home if it's not Jose. Robert has been in the bottom more than anyone. To me, only Jose is deserving to go home but I still really like him.

Magik - Nigel said they HAVEN'T made a decision on who goes but have something else to say...

Robert isn't growing.

Jose isn't growing.

Billy decided NOT to dance on his own so it's not fair because he's rested.

NO ONE GOING THIS WEEK -- TWO NEXT WEEK!!!

Everyone is completely shocked, dancers, Cat, probably the other production people... I'd say the other judges as well.

Well that's not fair to the 3 that were safe tonight. And look at Billy dancing around the stage now! He should have gone home!

thank you so much Shel! Appreciate the update. I really don't want to see any one of these dancers go home. I like them all.. even Jose who has so much potential. I'm hoping a professional will offer him the formal dance lessons he needs to continue on this path.

After seeing the Step routine, I think Billy didn't want to take a chance of looking bad and used the injury as an excuse. At least, that's my initial reaction. I'm sure he DID hurt his knee but after getting scolded by the judges last week I think he was scared to do something so far out of his expertise.

Next week is going to be harsh with two out of five being cut.

I agree Shel. I thought the same thing when it was announced Billy had an injury. Even the Dr's said he could dance but it was up to him to decide. I think he should have to the Step next week.

I don't think Billy was counting on getting to stay but think some others were counting too much on him going this week.. being the two guys on the stage and Adechike, from his first couple of reactions, but they all just have to dance their asses off next week.. the only bummer will be if one of them gets a lame dance style that doesn't appeal to the voters.

Also tells me if people really like one of them.. VOTE!
