I've always liked Robert, he reminds me of Broadway, or someone who should be there. His first routine was spectacular, even though there were other really good performances, I chose him, I think he's that good. I think Robert's a fantastic dancer and performer, and now that Alex is not able to dance, I am hoping Robert does well. As much as I like Alex and am hoping one day I'll be able to see him perform again, I hope that he doesn't return to the show for a third season, I think he should move in a new direction, one that he is fully satisfied with, but not on the show, I think there is so much more out there for him and I hope he takes advantage of this moment to find it. I really hope Ashley's okay, but bc many of the performances were so good, I think she'll be the one to go bc she wasn't able to.

did ya all catch after Mia told Adecke she prayed he would have a good week, Nigel made a comment about her not having a good week and she was like 'yeah, right'. That all was referring to all the negative stuff on net about her. She chose her words very carefully last night. She gives Jose negative comments and then sees his hurt face and says aaahh so sorry I want to hug you yet when she cut Adecke's heart she said she missed Alex. Very obvious, that one

Agree totally with Muffin on our choices for the final three: Robert, Kent, and Lauren. Picking or saying who goes home tonight is obviously somewhat driven by Ashley's injury, that may make the choice this week. We're not into Adecke. Seems like a good kid and a good dancer but we just can't get into his performances. He comes off more like a niche dancer who is very good in his genre but can't quite transfer that talent to other dance forms. Jose is in over his head but we give him A++ for effort. He won't last much longer but there's just something endearing about him that we'll be sorry to see him leave.

Ill be shocked if Jose goes before Robert. LIke they say this is for the fav dancer not the best. I still think Kent will win over Jose but he will beat out Rob

Just to be a pedant, his name is AdeChike (with various accents I can't do in text). It's right up at the top of this page.

Did anybody else think that Dominic SCHOOLED Jose last night in their beat boy dance? I'm sorry, Jose looked like a rank amateur (which of course he really is) against Dom...Dom's spins were quicker, his moves were sharper...I was amazed that the judges compliemented Jose so much on that dance. I realize that they like him, and they need the variety he brings in the competition (if he leaves will all of the dancers left be contemporary?), but I felt that Dom outdanced him in a huge way. I actually liked his Broadway number a lot better. I agree this was Billy's best night, but he should have "manned up" a lot earlier in the competition. That shoes number with Lauren was adorable though. I think his technique must be so excellent that the normal viewer (that would be me) just can't appreciate how good it is. He's just a little too effiminate for me. Not saying there's anything wrong with it, but he's just not the type of person I can get excited about voting for. AdeChike doesn't do anything for me. I didn't think his salsa number was that great, but liked his duet with Kent. I thought Lauren got the worst draw of the night...that first number just was ridiculous, even if she did get to dance with the incomparable Mark. There just wasn't that much for her to do except roll her hips - which she did very well - but it didn't show off her dancing. She's my favorite though so I actually voted for her - a season first! Kent and Neal...what a great pair! I thought that was Kent's best showing of the year. Robert got incredibly lucky in his number with Travis Wahl. Emotional, beautiful and, to his credit, he danced it well.

Does anyone know what was going on with Travis Wall's mom (note the spelling of her last name). It sounded like something serious, and I hope she's OK. I've always liked Robert and last night proved why. He really did a great performance with that number. I've never been a fan of Billy, Kent, or Adechike. Any of the three can go home and I wouldn't miss them. I do love Lauren, and I'd love to see her in the final 3. Ashley is OK, not my favorite dancer though.

last night was boring, boring, boring... The show is beginning to seem rote to me. Nothing really exciting like past seasons when you had to run over to Youtube to see the dance again because it was so unusual. Alex brought a spark, I liked to see what he would do with a dance. But now, meh...

I think the remaining dancers are really lucky Alex is gone. I think Alex would've walked away with this. Not only is (was) he a spectacular dancer, but it seemed everyone really liked him.

I'd agree. It would appear, especially after last night kind of mixed performances, that Alex probably was the best of the contestants. Hopefully, while difficult, he'll make a full recovery from his injury. We missed part of last night's show, though we did record it, but were wondering if there was any mention of how his surgery went? Have to assume that like star athletes that he has access to the very best orthopedic surgeons.

The show started out with Alex sending a video email to everyone. He said he has a long way to go but that this was day 1 of recovery. He was still in hospital, but he looked pretty good and they are optimistic. No word on when he'll be able to dance again, though.

I thought last night was great! Lots of great dances, great talent! Love Billy, Kent and yes, even Robert. I think Robert's biggest strike against him is that they never showed him in the audition rounds. They kind of just sprung him on us in the announcements of the finalists and everyone was all, "Who's that???" It's almost like he was an intruder cause we never got a chance to know anything about him till the show started. Alex definitely outshone everyone else there, but now that he's out they all have a chance to be seen. Love Billy, Kent and Lauren the best. I think Ashley will definitely go home tonight. Jose is adorable, but the level of skill is just not as high as the rest. AdeChike is great, but lacking warmth somehow. Thought it was funny that Mia tried to back-pedal her vicious comments last night. DH thinks the producers told her to tone it down. She was definitely trying to be "nice" but I wasn't buying it. Thought it was funny that Nigel mentioned, "No more hate mail for Mia!" I think they read some of the nastiness posted on the Internet towards her.

Roxip -- I totally agree with you about Dominic out-bboying Jose. I am a huge fan of Jose, and really never was that crazy about Dominic, so I don't think I am being unfair when I say that the all star was the star in that number. But I want Jose to stay because I think he really is learning from this whole experience and he does shine a light that is pure joy for an old sourpuss like me to witness!

I can't help but remember how Legacy learned and matured in his dancing. I liked him a lot better and I think he performed a lot better in all the different dance genres. I think Jose is weaker and shouldn't stay 'cause "he's a nice guy". Heck, I think Kent is a nice guy too...and Billy....and Adicheke.... Just saying. I wish Ashley had an opportunity to perform again as I like both her and Lauren...they are equally good in my book. Once Alex was out of the competition I find I can't get excited about any of the guys...they are all "good" in their own right but nothing overwhelming. Alex took it to the next level on everything he did....

Remember, though, that this is America's favorite dancer. Not America's best dancer. That said, I don't think Jose will win this. I doubt if he'll make it to F3, to be honest. But he is pure joy to watch when he's not consumed by the character he is portraying.

Part of the reason that the All-stars seem better than this season's hopeful may be that they have more time to learn the routines: or they are actually are better.
