Does anyone know the phone numbers to call for each contestant? I'm just about to watch the show here in the west coast and I'd like to vote while watching! Thanks

Robert deserves to be in the finale but, people keep voting Adechike through no matter how he dances. I hope Robert doesn't get shafted!

Adechike has been dancing horribly lately.. I hope he gets eliminated tonight since the other 3 are all great dancers and deserve the finale.. We have Kent Boyd posters everywhere in this area, since he is from here.. about 10 mins from where I live.. Go Kent

I hope F3 include Lauren and Robert (who've been my faves from the beginning). I don't know what it is with Adechike but I just can't connect with him. I agree with the judges that he's too stiff, too. And while I think Kent is a great dancer, I just am not on the fan wagon (I think he's too young for me and his disco dance proved it). So if Lauren and Robert are in F3, I'll be happy.

Although Nigel asked Dominic to go on tour for the show, the crawl where they showed the dancers going on tour already had Dominic on it. Perhaps they had not informed Dominic as yet? Kent's disco was lame. Nothing even close in comparison to the one done by Brandon and his partner in their year (sorry I can't remember her name, but she was from Miami and was maybe a Latin or salsa dancer and ended up dating someone else from the show during the tour). His last number was great though, plus I just love Neil or Neal or however you spell his name. There is probably little to no danger of Kent even being close to going home tonight. Obviously they are hoping Adechike goes home tonight and based on last night's dances he should. He just didn't do anything special, but the tears might save him. Unfortunately if it does it will be at the expense of either Lauren or Robert. Both of them have really matured in their dancing throughout the show. I couldn't believe it when Lauren said she had just graduated from high school. She has long ago left the days when Mia criticized her for dancing like she was in high school. I thought her Tango was outstanding and the Jazz number with Ade...let me just say that I would have voted for her just for wearing that little black number because that took some major courage! And she danced very well too...LOL! I wasn't as in love with Robert's waltz, but I thought his number with Dominic was beautiful...quirky but very compelling to watch. I do hope that Adechike goes home tonight. He's never really been a favorite of mine, and the other three dancers are, in my uninformed opinion, much more interesting and more accomplished. Well, okay, Kent isn't exactly that interesting to me, but let's face it...this competition is his to lose.

I was bored with last night's show, until the Lauren/Ade and the Travis number. Like I have said previously, whoever dances with Ade is lucky. He tends to show his partner more than other dancers. Lauren looked really good in that unitard and danced amazingly. She needs to be in the final.

Travis Wall has now become my favorite choreographer. His pieces routinely move me. So great to see an alumni of the show producing such great work for new dancers. If the decision tonight was based solely on the dancing, Adechike would be going home. Since it's more a popularity poll than an dancing one, it's hard to say what will happen. He's good, but he's not nearly as good as the other three. Mia should return to choreography and leave the judging to others. She is bugging me more and more. So hard to pick a favorite between Kent, Robert, and Lauren. They're all really, really good and so likable, too.

It could be me but I don't feel Robert or Adechike, yet I feel Ade only when he is doing solo, Robert I just don't feel him I don't feel him transmitting.. I do feel Kent when he moves he moves from head to toe. I'm no expert about lines, but I do not feel Ade he is stiff most times.

The judges really favor Robert. I do not feel him at all either. No way did he out dance Dominic. My guy is Kent! Hated the disco dance. They sure had a lot of weird choices last night that did nothing for the competitors! My granddaughter did not like Lauren's black get up. She said there are kids watching this! She is 13. She is going to see the tour and she hopes that she does not wear that outfit! The last dance was so moving! I could watch Neil dance all night.

I'd be more than happy to feel Robert -- uh, I mean, watch Robert live -- I mean. . . oh fuggedaboudit! The women's costumes have been skimpy quite a lot this season. Lauren even almost bared all when one of her straps broke early on. To her credit, she kept dancing anyway and managed to not have a major embarrassing moment. Of course, the guys aren't shy, either. Lauren was a lot more covered in her black lace outfit than the guys have been at times with bare chests and small shorts that are more like loincloths. Not that I'm complaining. ;)

I admit that my first reaction to Lauren's black lace leotard was "What are they putting her in? She's just out of high school!" Then I realized that she was wearing far more than a bathing suit and if you can wear that at 18 and look so great, then probably you should!!! I agree about Travis' choreography. I don't think he has choreographed anything that I haven't loved. Loved him as a dancer and am so happy seeing his career blast off! I agree that Adechike should be the one that goes home tonight, but he did get to me with the tears. I am usually not a sucker for tears, but I thought he was so appreciative of the people in his life and it was all so sweet. Loved him. And I thought there was no need for the judges to basically tell him it was his time to go! What purpose is there in that? And speaking of the judges, Mia and that other guy who sometimes judges (can't remember his name) both annoy me. It's not really the criticism...though sometimes I think it is unfounded....it is their arrogance. There have been times when I have been wanting to say to the dancers "Don't listen to them!!! You have a better instinct for it than they do." Even Mia's compliment to the blonde choreographer seemed to be condescending. On the other hand, I adore Adam Shankman and his joy and excitement for dance and dancers. Nigel I don't always agree with, and I definitely think he dishes out criticism too bluntly, but I still respect his point of view. Overall for the show, I have loved having the all-stars on there. I get so attached to them during the season and don't want to let them go. Hope they keep up that format. This show always makes me happy...it is so much more about celebration of dance and dancers than manufactured drama. Refreshing!

I wanted Adechicke in the finals to piss off Mia. Her cruelness to him this season (and others before him) was uncalled for. She better not be a judge next yr

I'm real happy with the results. I've liked Robert since the beginning. I like all 3 and actually liked Adechike, too. I felt out of the 4, he should go, so glad it went that way.

Should be some amazing dancing in the finals. I wouldn't have a problem with any of them winning. And I agree about Mia. There have been so many judges that I like....I hope they go with them. Unfortunately since she is so controversial it may keep her in.

Ive never been a Robert fan but he was great this week. Loved the clown dance! Kent or Lauren for the win, Im favoring Kent though and I called him to be in the finals from the start

We're happy with the results. Really thought these three would be the finalists a few weeks ago and just held on hoping it would turn out that way. Not sure we have a favorite though. They're all good dancers and all of them have had some great and then some not so great moments. We have to remind ourselves that this isn't about the best dancer, it's the favorite dancer. With that in mind we can see it being Lauren, Robert, and Kent in that order.

I think it will be Kent, Lauren and Robert, although I prefer Lauren. Unless there is a surge of "adult" voting for one of the two other dancers I think that Kent will prevail.

I agree with you, Roxip! Mack, have you heard all those girls in the audience scream everytime Kent's name is mentioned? Unless he has a really bad week next week, I think he's got it in the bag. I think they've all grown enormously in the past few weeks. I would be happy to see any of them win. Don't think Robert's got the proverbial snowball's chance, but will still be an entertaining show. Despite the problems this season (evictions due to injuries and Mia's meanness), both DH and I thought this show was much more entertaining than last season's AI. I'd go see the tour of this before I'd seen the AI tour (maybe they should bring along some All Stars too!).
