but this isnt like Idol, where we totally decide. If Jose is in bottom 2 with any of them the judges will let him go.

In the past wasnt the top 10 totally voted for by us??? they had to stop meddeling at top 10, right?

The jidges decided through top ten. Then viewers took over fully.

Last night my wife and I almost simultaneously said "They just gave Billy a gift!" when they announced the delay until next week. Kind of believe that if Billy was one of the lesser dancers that he'd been gone.

I knew when they made a point of saying last night that Billy decided not to dance that the judges (Nigel) would not be pleased. I think they truly want to get rid of Jose at this point but did not think that was fair. I think next week letting go of two dancers will be fair -- I doubt with a sore knee (and I noticed Billy was hopping on one leg while they were all dancing around in a circle by the way)Billy's rest will be much of an advantage. I mean...how long did he get to rest? When did he injure his leg...was it last Friday morning (which I doubt since they showed the choreography footage for both dances) or during one of the rehearsals closer to the show?

I don't think Billy will win but I would like to see him dance again.

Bummed...Mark wasn't among the dancers listed in the lineup for the tour. Of course they said there were still 4 places (is that total...do not all of these contestants get to go on tour?) or is that 4 places plus this year's contestants? Of course it could be that he already has other jobs lined up after the show...to me he is still the most interesting dancer to watch in all the group performances.

And some of those left just might be gone if there hadn't been certain earlier injuries.. they got extra weeks to improve. It is a sad season when injuries dictate bottom three and being ousted.

See, I saw the Billy thing diffently. As a dancer all his life, he has to know his body and when to push it, when not to. Who knows if he has had knee problems in the past that affected his decision. It's his body, not Nigels. With both Alex and Ashley going out with injuries, Billy may have thought, "I'd rather have my career than a possible career ending injury. So, I will rest the knee." He saw what happened to Alex, out for about a year with rehab, that probably played into his decision not to dance as well.

I thought that Nigel was annoyed that it made the show look bad that 3 people had injuries. It was a no win situation for Nigel to oust Billy. Since the doctors had cleared Billy, he decided to throw it on Billy's shoulder in the call out at the end. That way, they only have 2 contestants going out with injuries, not 3. This season is shaping up to be a bust anyway, why make it worse. Adds more drama for next week.

Personally, I think they are getting injured because of the new format. Working with the All Stars, Choreographers up their game because, basically, they are working with high caliber professionals. Therefore, the Contestants are pushed to a level that their body may not be ready for. Case in point.... As a professional dancer, Mark's body looks completely different than when he danced in his season. He was a lanky kid then, now he's quite buff. Or Comfort.. her dancing is 10 times better than when she was a contestant. So, rather than the choreographers developing the dance for 2 younger dancers that are still learning the craft, they choreograph for professional dancer with much more intricate moves and stunts.

Oh and if the public was still deciding who stays and who goes... both Robert and Billy would probably be gone by now.

I'm so glad they didn't send Billy home, cause I really do think he's way more talented than Jose. Jose has lots of charisma and is great in his style, but he's just treading water now. I thought for sure they'd send him home over Billy.

I don't think at all Billy decided not to dance because he was afraid to step. That's ridiculous! He would've killed it. But if your body is not at its best, he would've risked further injury to dance on a bum knee. He knew he wasn't at his best and didn't want to risk it. I'm glad they didn't automatically send him home due to his injury. They sent the other two home because they needed several weeks/months recovery time. There was no point in keeping Alex or Ashley. Billy should be back next week, and then we'll see what he can do.

At this point they're all really good. I hate to see any of them go home. I do think it will probably be the end of the road for Jose and maybe Robert next week, although Robert has grown on me. Next week will be tough.

I think the issue here is that in past seasons when a contestant has been injured and unable to dance then they've pretty much been eliminated. This year apparently they have tweaked the rules but this is the first time a dancer has refused to dance (not saying he didn't do the right thing here!) when the doctors have left it up to him. In the other two cases it was clear that the dancer was going to be unable to dance for several weeks or, in Alex's case, longer.

Having said that I am sure that either Billy/Robert/Jose will be going home next week, and unless Billy has a simply spectacular week then I suspect it will be him and Jose. But at least he will get to dance his way out of the competition.

I agree, Nigel was in a no-win situation.

Did anybody notice whether or not Jose danced in the opening dance. Someone told me that he did not dance in last weeks or this weeks opening dance.

I was just going to ask that. I did not see Jose in the opening dance and worried he was injured.

I did notice that Jose was not in the opening number and wondered if something had happened to him. But then when no one addressed the subject, I forgot about it. Wonder what's up with that? Why didn't Jose dance with the rest of them? Was he being given "preferential treatment" as some people think was give to Billy Bell?

last week he came in towards the end of the opening dance. I didnt see him in this week. I find it hard to believe in those ensemble opening numbers the choregrapher couldnt find something for him to do. I think it's a subtle way to send message to audience he isnt good enough to dance with these pros.

I wish we could find out for sure the deal on this...I may ck the offical FB message board

I think the judges are seeing something that has happened before, both on this show and on Idol. Some contestants are chosen to get ratings (they're cute, or whatever). Then people call in for them, rather than the more talented contestants. SYTYCD went very early from "The Search for The Most Talented Dancer", to The Search For Your Favorite Dancer".

From up-thread, you're welcome Pamy

I thought it was unfair that Billy got another week, but even though he got more rest, he didn't get the full week's experience the others got, so it may not work in his favor. This is a very strange season.

Here's a couple more pics.
