So You Think You Can Dance

[OnyxRose]

Two of either Billy, Jose or Robert need to go. The judges geared the bus straight for Adechike but I hope neither he, Kent or Lauren are bottom three just because of the crap the judges pulled last week. It's not fair to them.

I think it will be some combination of Jose, Billy or Adechike that go. The only way one of the other three are going is if they all end up in the bottom.

Are the judges picking who is eliminated up until the finale? Would that mean then that they get to pick who the finalists are? That doesn't seem right. And it takes a lot of suspense out of it. Its pretty clear who the judges favorites are. Why not just crown Kent now and give Robert and Lauren the runner up sashes?

If Jose isn't out tonight, I'll be ticked. I can't believe what a pass they give him during critiques. While Billy did a nice job last night, I want him to be the second axe.

I assume that opening routine was supposed to feature Lauren and the guys? Did she get injured or something? It's so funny - I really like her in the partner and group numbers, but I don't like her solos at all.

Speaking of solos, I the solo Billy did tonight. Quirky and AWESOME. Sad to see him go, but I assume it'll be easy for him to get work.

Billy's solos are the only time I find him enjoyable. He started to connect better too late. His and Jose's eliminations were the only fair thing to do. If Robert has been B3, however, it would have been sayonara to him.

Billy's problem has been his smile, which comes off as fake. His dancing is splendid, but his personality is still a bit too guarded for America to warm to him. Jose has the opposite problem - winning smile, little talent.

Aw, I LOVE Billy Bell; after Alex left, he was my favourite. I'm not super-excited about the finale now that he's out.

I adored both his number with Ade as well as the Bollywood routine and his solos are always quirky and fun. He just seems to have such a fun sense of humour, and I love watching him dance just for his flexibility alone! Also, I think he's one of the few contemporary dancers who can make flailing look good (i.e.: not so flail-y).

Besides his dancing, I think that's part of the reason I like him - he's just a little more relatable to me. I guess it just doesn't translate to votes!

Congratulations to Lauren! I am doubly thrilled because this means I don't have to see Kint's smarmy little face in Gatorade ads! Hooray!

That said, I pretty much stopped caring after Billy left. This season blew chunks. Next season I hope they go back to the regular format and get Mia off the judge's panel.

YAY, LoFro! She was the best all-around dancer and deserved the win!

I was happy to see Mary Murphy until she started screaming. *sigh

One idea floating around TWOP (I know, I know) was to have theme weeks where everyone danced, for instance, ballroom or hip hop with a rotating group of judges so that they could actually give criticism based on actual expertise. I like the idea especially to get rid of Mia.

I'm so glad Lauren won, but I'm mostly glad the Kent lost... I know he's only 18, but he was seriously starting to bug.
