I think if Billy is in the bottom again the judges need to realize no matter what he does he isnt connecting and let him go.

This year's tour sounds like it is going to be interesting, as it is going to be a combination of the dancers from the last 3 seasons and the All Stars.

Did Ashley have the plague? Leprosy?

I think she bruised her ribs and the doctors said she needed 3 to 5 weeks' rest to recover. Just the fact that I could never remember her name was a bad sign anyway. I don't get the lack of Billy love. I think he's fabulous. I don't care if he doesn't seem "masculine," he's really good and seems really sweet. Jose is adorable but in way over his head. He did a better acting job than a dancing job on that Broadway number. Even my untrained eye could see he was missing some of the steps. Heart will only carry him so far. Sorry, Pamy! Mia did more to keep Adechike on the show than she realizes. By criticizing him the way she did (so mean!), she made a lot of people pick up the phone on his behalf.

He's a good dancer, and I don't think anyone denies that. He just doesn't seem to have much personality and hasn't connected with anyone. At least with me. He's a good dancer but he bores me.

Babyjax, it's ok Im selfish and dont care if others are better, I personally only want to watch him, Kent, and Lauren. I just love watching Jose even if he misses steps. I wont get mad at ppl that dont lurve him like me I feel a little cougary LOL I also agree with ya about Adechike. ( I am trying to remember to spell it right, I normally would just put Ade but dont want to confuse him with Ade (A-Day).

I am so sad for Ashley. I hope she recovers really nicely and can go on the tour. I thought Nigel did a good job with her last night the way he spoke to her and called her sweetheart. That tour is going to be amazing. The dancers get better every season. Jose is expected to dance all the other styles w/o training yet I don't think anyone could come close to him if they were dancing in his style. I'm glad Nigel pointed that out. They are all so good. This show is such a treat to watch. I haven't wanted anyone to go home for a couple or few weeks. (broken record...really miss Mary though, don't like Mia any better at all)

I don't think Mia will be back next year. I think the producers have learned their lesson. I know a lot of us were dismayed when we heard she was stepping in for Mary this year, and I think our fears about her have been proven right.

There always seems to be that one dancer every year that the judges shred to pieces so the viewers vote for him...just as there seems to be that one dancer every year that the judges adore that usually gets eliminated early. If the judges would just judge and not get personal I think that wouldn't happen. I don't miss Mary. I don't love Mia. If the judges annoy me I FF thru their comments. Yes, Jose is expected to dance in all other styles without much training in those genres...as are the other dancers. He might have the most significant lack of training in other styles but that's the name of this competition. He is a cutie though...just not a great dancer...and I still think Dom was much better in the style than Jose...significantly. But I also agree that he really stepped it up for his solo. Lauren is my favorite and has been for a while. Not sure she can win in this boy-strong season but I really like her. She was devastated by Ashley's inability to conintue...did you see her crying on the side?

I thought maybe they were roomies, since they were the only two remaining girls. It must be hard for them to see their friends get eliminated, even though it moves them farther in the competition. Just like on American Idol.

I really wish they would go back to rotating the 3rd judge. They could just have Cat host and Adam judge and I would be happy. I enjoy Lil C and Tyce. I am happy Ashley will still get to hang with her friends and go on tour with them.

What I've liked most about this season, surprisingly to me, is the addition of the all-stars. It's been good for a couple of reasons: first, because it reduced the number of contestants, and second because it's enabled the competitors to really perform to the best of their abilities. Let me explain: by having only 11 contestants this year, we didn't have to suffer through about five or six initial weeks of watching the early boot-ees dance at a mediocre level. In past seasons, I've felt that in the early weeks of competition, each week one dancer really stood out as being the one who should leave the show next. (I think the saving grace for the show is that it's actually the judges' decision as to which of the bottom three actually goes home, but that's beside the point.) The second reason I think having the all-stars this season has been a great benefit is that the competitors have had a partner highly trained in each style of dance who can really help him/her work on technique and learning the nuances of the style. In past seasons, when the competitors have had to partner with other inexperienced dancers, it's been an adjustment for them to get used to each other--on top of having to learn new choreography in a completely unfamiliar style. Does that make any sense? At first when I heard there would be all-stars on the show I thought, "Why?" Now I think it's been great that they were added. It's been nice to see them, too; I've enjoyed seeing Dominic and Twitch and some of the others.

I've liked the All Stars too. In some cases they have really helped their contestant shine...in other cases they have really showed their contestant's weaknesses, but they at the very least have made the show sharper this season...and I like the fact that the All Stars are very supportive of the contestants. Plus I just like watching Neal and Mark.

Ditto, Pamy & Roxip. I think the addition of the All Stars this year was a brilliant move. Love seeing our past faves, like Mark, Courtney and Ade. I've always heard you guys talk about Pasha and Anya, but didn't watch that season, so it's nice to see what I missed, too. I do think the All Stars bring up the performances of the contestants. In the past very often one dancer was much better than the other, so the weaker dancer kind of pulled the performance down. This year they're having to stretch a little bit. Love it. Plus everyone seems to be really good too, not some great dancers and some weaker ones. If only they could get rid of Mia, my happiness would be complete.

Apparently Ashley's been offered the choice between touring or reauditioning.

That's what I thought too. I don't think Ashley would have won the competition this year. I think she's a lovely dancer but I don't think she has that much personality.

I refer back to my July 15th post. So, who's going to get injured next week and leave? This is getting ridiculous. Aren't they taking any precautions to prevent injuries?
