DH thinks the reason Lauren was in the bottom three is all the little girls who dial/text frantically for the cute boys. I somehow don't think there are a whole lot of teenage boys watching this show--and most of them wouldn't admit to it if they did. Sad reality is that everybody who's left is really good, so somebody's favorite is going to go home the next couple of weeks. Sorry to see Billy go, too. He is fabulously talented, but I think Nigel said it nicely when he said a lot of voters just aren't comfortable with his "androgynous style." Hope they bring him back next year as an All Star.

I was insulted by what Nigel said, I took it to mean he thinks voters are homophobic. Billy just didnt have a personality that shined and he is the same type of dancer as Kent. If Kent werent there he may have gotten some of those votes. Kent spotlighted Billy's lack of charisma

I think Billy is such a tremendous dancer, but he also has a shyness and humility in his dancing that doesn't translate well as a performer. Some of that can be developed, but some of it is just part of who you are. I have two friends...both pianists. One is low key and probably technically better, but the other is a big show-off, still with talent but even more with the ability to grab an audience. I always far preferred listening to the performer... he just brings that extra something that grabs your emotions. Not sure the lower key performer even had the concept of how to do that. There is a part of her that feels like he makes himself bigger than the music, which should be sacred. His attitude is more "it's music.... we d o it to entertain. It's not sacred!" I think Billy is like my low key friend and thinks the dance will speak for itself. And on occasion it will, but often you have to sell it.

I disagree with you, Pamy. I think Billy had a lot of personality. It just wasn't as "big" as Kent's (who I also love). That homeless dance Billy did with Ade was beautiful and touching. I wonder if we would feel differently about these dancers if we only saw them dance and never got to know their personalities. Perhaps some of the fabulous guest dancers they have every week would be "duds" if they were interviewed and had to be judged on something other than their dancing.

I think Lauren was in the bottom 3 because they announced she was with the medics...I'm thinking people didn't vote for her because they thought she might not be able to continue on anyway. Again, didn't we decide that Twitch and Joshua danced the Russian dance together and that Twitch and Katee danced the Bollywood number together? I'm confused.

Kent looks so mature in that pic above. He really has grown through this process. I really loved that opening routine, it made beautiful pictures, thx for posting them!

K, so far tonight Lauren did Tango with Pasha (really good), Adechike did Afro-Jazz with Lauren the pro (eh, could have been better), and Robert had Viennese Waltz with Anya ('superb' from Nigel, all liked it a lot). Kent is up next doing Disco... Cat's hair is driving me bonkers. It's such a mess!

Kent and Courtney did Disco, pretty good, only 2 big lifts in it (cut a bunch because he kept dropping her). No crazy Kent faces! Mia hated it calling it his worst of the season, Adam agrees. (Nigel tells him he now refuses his marriage proposal that happened after Lauren's Tango)

Lauren with Ade doing Jazz. She's supposed to be like a black widow or something wearing a black lace cat-suit. And her kiss kills Ade at the end. Poor Ade. He was such a talented dancer... lol. Judges, of course, love Lauren. Mia calls her a beast, agrees with Tyce that it could have been more ferocious, Adam wants to hire her.

Adechike and Katherine doing I'm not sure what style. Choreos Desmond and Dwight said it's a combination of a lot of them. It was alright for me - some parts great, others just 'meh'. Judges think he could have put more in to it but he got tired.

Robert doing Hip Hop with Domenic - two clowns who are ticked that their circus has been closed down. Okay, the dark evil side of clowns is a pretty bad place to be. I thought it was great. Nigel hopes Rob and Dom get to do this routine on the tour because it was 'brilliant'. Watch Robert's face during the dance, he really emotes even through the makeup. Adam - 'Domenic, good news, sounds like you just got put on the tour. Bad news is he just out danced yo a$$!' Dom agrees.

Is something really big happening tonight? Show is almost over and no one is here. Just wondering if I've been missing something super important.

Kent with Niel doing Travis Contemporary. They've been great friends, always there for each other, but now Niel stabbed him in the back and wants to kill the friendship. Kent pissed, retaliates, now he's just hurt and Niel leaves him... Very good story telling! Oh, the dancing was pretty stunning too. It was amazing. Mia crying, says thinks it's the first time she can't find words. Adam - 'if this were the finale, Kent, you would've just won the show'

So for me, my order top to bottom tonight is 1) Robert 2) Kent 3) Lauren 4) Adechike I think. Top 3 are hard to choose between.

The Travis Wall number was memorable! Nigel says he hopes they do it in the finale; interesting because I think he almost wanted to say "on tour" again! Just like he spontaneously invited Domenic on tour.

I voted (well I plan to when voting starts here), for Lauren, just to throw in a few non-teenage girl votes.
