Posted in: Featured, Recaps, So You Think You Can Dance

How can I even begin to adequately describe my feelings about tonight’s So You Think You Can Dance (dance…..dance)?  What word can I use to best convey what I felt while watching?  Hmmmmm……..BULLSHIT.  A giant steaming plate of it.

SYTYCD20100729aBullshit.  It’s what’s for dinner.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.  Let’s start at the beginning (a very good place to start).  The group routine…..

SYTYCD20100729b

SYTYCD20100729c

Have I mentioned lately how much I love Allison?  I’m sure this group number was originally designed to showcase Lauren; her absence in it is making me more than a little worried for her.

Cat comes out to tell us Mia choreographed the number (I thought it might be Wade until I remembered Mia has a hard on for Sting this season).  Mia’s fashion choices can sometimes be a little wacky, but I think this one takes the cake.

SYTYCD20100729dDid she just wake up one day and think it would be cool to have a vest made of crimped hair?

Uh, Mia?  Crimped hair is sooooooo eighties.  You know, usually Cat can be relied upon to have the crazy outfits, but Mia definitely outdid her here; after all no human hair was harmed in the making of her garment.

SYTYCD20100729eInstead, she skinned a radioactive flamingo and then bedazzled it.

Hey!  We’re live!  So anything can happen, though sadly I’m sure that “anything” won’t involve someone punching Nigel in the face.  Oh well, a girl can dream, can’t she?

Cat reminds us that we’ll be losing two dancers tonight because the judges were a bunch of pussies last week.  Also, she left us hanging last night, just telling us than Lauren was with the medic, but assures us she is fine now.

After reminding us who the assholes at the judges’ table are, Cat asks Nigel to tell us about the prizes for the winner.  Well….

SYTYCD20100729fIf it’s Lauren, she wins a date with me.

He tells us they’re not only competing for a QUARTER of a million DOLLARS, the cover of Dance Spirit Magazine, and of course the title of America’s Favorite Dancer (out of the people we feel like you should be able to choose from), but something totally new as well.  For the first time ever, Gatorade is recognizing dance as a sport (I didn’t realize they had been anointed the official sports status deciders), and the season seven winner is going to be featured as the first dance athlete.  Uh, wait a minute here, I think Nigel is forgetting something…..

SYTYCD20100729gThese guys were already featured in a Gatorade ad campaign.

I love how Nigel changes history whenever it suits him.  I’m not even going to go into how I feel about Nigel wanting to see dance at the Olympics.  You just know he’d find a way to be on that judges’ panel perving it up at girls from across the world.

But enough about how disgusting Nigel is, we all know that already.  Let’s get going on these results, shall we?  First up are Kent and Jose.

SYTYCD20100729h“Dude, you know you’re in the bottom right?”  “DUH.”

I don’t even know why Cat bothers to go through the recaps of their respective routines; I mean, we all know Jose is the one that’s going to be in the bottom.  Hell, just give the title to Kent now because there’s no way in hell he’s not winning this thing.

SYTYCD20100729i“Dude, you know you’re going home, right?”  “DUH.”

Next up for their results are Adechike and Billy.

SYTYCD20100729j

I get a little worried for Adechike here because Billy had such a phenomenal night last night.  Will it be enough to finally get him some votes?  Nope.  He’s not surprised at all, in fact, he laughs.

SYTYCD20100729kAs if to say, “Oh America, you fuckers, I could dance barefoot across glass and you still wouldn’t vote for me, would you?”

I can’t say I’m surprised by this result given the way the voting has been going since pretty much the beginning of the season, but I am a little disappointed considering the performance Billy gave us last night.

Time for the last two, Lauren and Robert.

SYTYCD20100729lI think we can all call this one too.

And the final person in the bottom three is………..not Robert.  WHATTHEFUCK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

SYTYCD20100729mWhat the fucking shitfuckshit?!??!!?!?

There is no fucking way that just happened.  No.  Way.  BULLSHIT.  How many different ways can I say this?  This is a total crock of shit.  Poop.  Dookie.  Scat.  Doo Doo.  Crap.  Caca.

I’m sorry, but I don’t believe this for one fucking second.  There is no way in hell that Lauren is in the bottom three over Robert.  This is total shenanigans.  No one can convince me that this is the real bottom three.  They stuck Lauren in there so that no one would bitch and moan when they save her over Billy and Jose (rightly so).  If Robert were in the bottom, it would be harder to justify keeping him over Billy, ESPECIALLY given Billy’s performance last night.

You may disagree with me, but I don’t care.  Robert was totally in the bottom three for weeks and weeks and I am NOT buying that suddenly Lauren ends up there and he doesn’t.  Let me say it again: BULLSHIT.

I have to tell you guys, I really thought I might have a stroke while watching this.  I was stomping around my living room, yelling and cursing like you would not believe.

SYTYCD20100729nOkay, you probably would believe, but I’m trying to make a point here, Hugh.

I woke up my poor five year old with all my carrying on!  Poor kid doesn’t know his mom’s a loon.  Well, I guess he does now.  I almost just turned the TV off at this point, since we ALL know what’s going to happen……

SYTYCD20100729o

But in the end I knew I had to see this episode through.  Quitting isn’t the answer; Nigel was not going to break ME!!!  So let’s get on with this bitch!

And just when I think the rage is going to blow my brain up, Cat tells us about our first guest performance of the evening:  dancers from Step Up 3D.  But that alone can’t quell the rage, it’s going to take something much, much stronger……

SYTYCD20100729pDone!

Oh, Adam….thank you so much; I really needed to laugh right now.  Cat tells us about the SYTYCD alumni that are in the movie, including….

SYTYCD20100729q

I’m not gonna lie Gasmi, I cannot wait to see this movie.  I’m really curious to see how they incorporate the whole 3D thing into the movie, and more than that, I loved the dancing in the first two, and this one has even MORE dancers in it, so I know the dancing is gonna kick some serious ass.

Cat makes sure to tell us that Lil C is in this performance, as well as Tony Bellissimo, first guy kicked out of season five.  Yay?

SYTYCD20100729r

SYTYCD20100729s

I hate the camerawork on this show.  That said, it was a good number; I can’t wait to see the dancing with good camerawork.  After they cut to the judges who must have loved it since they’re now giving it a standing ovation.  All but Mia, that it.

SYTYCD20100729tAre you kidding me?  I’m not standing up for a hip hop routine; there’s no organic movement in it that I can see.

Time for a quick break……

SYTYCD20100729uWhat my roommate doesn’t know is that I’ve installed several hidden cameras in our dorm room and I’m now sending this homemade porn to everyone we know.

Off topic sidebar:  I had a nasty college roommate.  She didn’t even bother with the sock thing, she just fucked her boyfriend whenever she felt like it, whether I was in the room or not.  Looking back, I think she may have been an exhibitionist.  It actually got so bad that I moved my mattress out of our room and down the hall into a different room.  She couldn’t understand why.  Ah, the good old days.

Back to the show!

Here is where we’ve been having our all star encore performances, but this week we’re in for something else.  I’d be excited about that if we were going to see another ballet performance, or the Ailey dancers, hell, even the little kid ballroom dancers might get a little “woo” or something.

But NOOOOOOOOO.  We are getting a second musical guest this week.  Because I know that I myself can NEVER get enough crappy singing (lip syncing) on a DANCE show.

SYTYCD20100729v

SYTYCD20100729w

What in the name of holy hell was that?!?!?  That was insanely bad, even for this show.  And WTF was going on with the background dancers?  They looked like a Frederick’s of Hollywood version of an Esther Williams movie.  Are they supposed to be swimming through his sperm or something?  Ewwwwwwwww.

But enough about swimming with spunk, let’s talk about National Dance Day!  Cat tells us it’s going to be bigger than Thanksgiving, Christmas and the 4th of July.

SYTYCD20100729xCan you imagine this perv coming down your chimney?

Cat reminds us once again of the Tabitha and Napoleon routine that we’re all invited to learn, and then she shows us more videos of people dancing, including swimmers.  Gasp!

She asks Nigel if he’s got any more information to share about the Dance Day activities, and he segues it into a plug for the upcoming Dizzy Feet Foundation gala. He also says to be sure to buy tickets for the tour since they’re selling out already.  More lies, because Cat JUST told us earlier that tickets are going on sale tomorrow (July 30).

SYTYCD20100729yThe man that cried sold out.

Are you ready for the solos that mean even less this week than they usually do?  Okay, here’s Jose!

SYTYCD20100729z

I’ve said everything that I possibly can at this point about Jose.  Seems like a sweet kid, should have gone home a long, long time ago.

Let’s move on to Billy.

SYTYCD20100729aa

I really like the way he’s been exploring his movement in a different way both on last night’s performance show and again tonight.  He’s added a quirky musicality that I think really suits him.  If he’s gotta go out this week, at least he’s ending on a great note both with his performances and his solos this week.

Time for Lauren.

SYTYCD20100729ab

She gives a good solo, but we all know she could have given a crappy one and she still wouldn’t be going anywhere tonight.  There’s no way the judges are sending her home.

But they need a break from sitting on their asses before they can do what we all know they’re going to do.  While they’re backstage smoking, picking their teeth, and looking at themselves in the mirror, it’s time for our second musical guest of the evening.  This time it’s former American Idol contestant, Allison Iraheta accompanied by Orianthi on guitar.

SYTYCD20100729ac

SYTYCD20100729ad

Couldn’t she sing when she was on American Idol?  You’d never know it from this performance.  We didn’t even get the distraction of all star background dancers.  Instead, it looks like Allison hired hers from K-Mart or something.

SYTYCD20100729aeBlue light special in aisle two!

After a quick break for commercials we are back to hear who will be staying and who will be going home.  I know I’m on the edge of my seat wondering what is going to happen.

Nigel tells us that the judges are unanimous in their decision this evening.  How astonishing.  He also says this is the toughest decision they have had to make.  Yeah, right.

It will also be their last decision for season seven.  That’s right, America.  Next week you get to decide who will move on to the finale, and then the following week, you get to decide who wins.  Because, after all, it IS America’s Favorite Dancer, right?

Jose, step forward.  Nigel blows smoke up his ass about how much he’s grown over the course o the season, and how fortunate he has been to make it so far on the program.  They never anticipated they he would be as good as he turned out to be.

SYTYCD20100729afWhich is why we never bothered to give you any real critique.

SYTYCD20100729agPlease just send me home; I’m sick of people saying mean things about me all the time.

Billy, step forward.  Nigel tells him they don’t know why he’s been in the bottom so much.  Maybe America doesn’t connect to his slightly androgynous style.  But choreographers love him, other artistic directors love him, and they think he’s going to have a great career.

SYTYCD20100729ahSo let me go so I can get started on it.

He also tells Billy that they love to see him soaring through the air when he dances, but please make sure he keeps his feet in the ground in life.  In other words, don’t get so big for your britches that you refuse to come back and choreograph for the show so we can talk about how we’ve helped make you what you are.

Lauren, step forward.  Nigel points out it’s her first time in the bottom ever, and if we don’t like the way the voting is going, we shouldn’t piss and moan about it; we should pick up the phone and vote. I’ll piss and moan all I want to, thanks.

So it’s no surprise, Lauren is staying, which means Jose and Billy are out.

SYTYCD20100729aiWhich means I have to watch this guy AGAIN next week.

We get a combined good bye montage this time around, and after it, the judges are all up on their feet clapping.

SYTYCD20100729ajWhether it’s because Jose is finally gone or that they’re sad Billy is going is anyone’s guess.

Ca asks Billy what he’s going to remember most.

SYTYCD20100729akThe experience, the memories, and the fact that America is a bunch of idiots.

Jose, you should be really proud of yourself for making it so far!  He says he’s blessed to have a great new family of dancers, he’s so inspired, and it been a great experience that has changed his life completely.

SYTYCD20100729alAnd I’m happy to be getting the fuck out of here.

So that’s it, Gasmi.  But before I give you my final thoughts, I have to share with you this.

SYTYCD20100729amReally, Robert?  The hand over the heart is a bit much, don’t you think?

Gah!  I really can’t stand him.

So what did you think of these results?  Were you as pissed off as I was?  Or were you happy to see Robert safe from consideration (even if it was completely bogus)?  You know, it’s not that I think the results wouldn’t have been the same, I just don’t buy into the bottom three as it was presented.  And that’s what really pisses me off.

I think Billy knew he was going home this week; when you think about the judges’ comments to him during the performance show it already seemed like they were saying good bye.  And if he had to go, I’m glad it was after that dance with Ade.  That for me was up there with Alex’s contemporary and hip hop dances as highlights of this season.

Jose would have gone home weeks ago if Alex hadn’t have been injured.  I don’t wish the kid any ill; in fact, I think he did the best he could; he just couldn’t keep up.

So, we’re down to the final four.  Who are you hoping to see in the finale?  I think it’s fairly clear who I’m hoping gets the boot next week.  See you there!

    Great recap PM! I do disagree with you however on Lauren being in the bottom 3 being a fix; my thought was that people didn’t vote for her because they figured she would be in the bottom 3 anyway because of Cat announcing that she was injured.

    I also wondered out loud “what the hell” with the dancers who were up on stage with Alison from American Idol was performing. It just seemed like the wandered in randomly; they were so out of place.

    I was, unfortunately, not surprised by anything on this episode…not the bottom three…not who went home. It was all very predictable…in spite of the fact that Billy is a far superior dancer to Lauren and her butt-that-sticks-out.

    After watching the Step Up dancers, Jose’s solo was just sad. In contrast, Billy’s solo was AMAZING. I wasn’t originally a Billy fan, but he won me over in the last few weeks.

    The “singer” this week didn’t even try to pretend he was lip-synching. At one point he just held the mic down by his hip…while we continued to suffer through the recorded track of his off-key “singing.” Which producer’s nephew was he? The really horrifying part is IT WAS RECORDED…which means that’s all the better the sound technicians could make it, even with all the computers at their disposal.

    Poor Allison Irahita. The song was blather which didn’t mesh in any way with the “music.” And either they’re forcing her to lose weight or she’s started a cocaine diet, but she looks awful and sounded worse.

    When was the last time we saw Pasha? He, Mark, and Neil have had a lot of down time this season.

    Obviously the judges will be gunning for Adechike this week. This is probably one of the worst seasons ever…in spite of having Kent, Alex, and Billy as contestants. What a waste.

    If the judges are still gunning for Adechike they have the worst aim ever because they keep missing him.

    And poor Robert. He’s the Lisa Fernandes of SYTYCD. Who appears to shower on a regular basis, but still.

    Every single episode I scream in anger at the DUMBASS camera work. They make it a point to choreograph routines, and then the cameras swirl all over the damn place and we can’t watch from the front & center the way it’s choreographed. I get ridiculously angry every week. I don’t know if I can keep watching for that reason alone. arrrrgh!!

    I was not in any way shocked by this outcome, even though it pissed me off. Sorry Billy! You deserve a lot better than this, and everyone knows it. You just weren’t geegollywillikers enough for the voting bloc.

    PM, I’m with you on doubting whether Lauren was really in the bottom three. And Blazergirl, the dancers are only automatically in the bottom three if their injury keeps them from dancing, which Lauren’s, obviously, didn’t. Am I right?

    Re: Allison. She CAN sing, but that song was ass. Complete ass. I have no idea who that other (guy?) was because I FF’d after about 2 notes of canned lip-synced crap, but I’m sure he is related to someone either on this show or in the owner’s box.

    Thanks for the awesome recap, PottyMouth!

    I choose to blame Tyce and that ridiculously bad dance to “Footloose” that he foisted upon Billy in the first week. It just set the tone from there. And it’s Tyce. This may be my first season, but between his Hal Sparks face and trite choreography I have developed the disdain for him of someone who’s been here since the start.

    The interesting thing is that we really haven’t known who SHOULD have been in the bottom 3 for a few weeks now. Alex, Ashley, and Billy were all in the bottom 3 because of injuries, so we only knew who 2 of the least vote-getters were during those weeks. Makes me wonder if Lauren was there before and we just didn’t know it. Just a thought…..

    I agree with you PottyMouth – but Nigel didn’t want to pick Robert over Billy because of the brilliant dancing Billy did the previous night. I would love to see Robert leave this week with a final three of Kent, Lauren and AdeChike… but you never know what can happen.

    PM, I have to be honest….I sent a office wide email for everyone to vote for him…..sent it at 10PM. I swear to Bob! I promised I’d bring in donuts and bagels on Friday. If you know anything about offices and free food….you know how Robert got through. Everyone except 1 person voted for my oldfaced boy. My friend and I discussed Robert before the results show and came to the conclusion the reason we don’t like Billy is because NO OFFENSE PLEASE……he twinkles around the stage. Billy is a FREAKING AWESOME dancer…..but I want a man…..not a female with no boobs. Which is why I’m having dreams of DJ Smart and Anthony Burrell grrrrr……so much MAN……*fanning myself*. Same reason I can’t fall in love with Kent….while manly than Billy he still floats around.

    PM, i am with you in my anger… i too think they needed to “justify” letting billy go and will eat the consiparcy theory cornflakes with a side bowl of BITTERNESS!! i do believe nigel was super pissed that billy passed on dancing on a hurt knee, but knowing how the health of his body is his CAREER, i completely supported billy making that decision…

    anyway, kinda hoping adechike wins it all, but i know kent will and i would just just as happy when he wins it… now if robert and lauren win, well, lets just say there will be things flung and walls punched, then i will rant and moan for months until a new season for me to bitch about comes along…

    @moli, NO OFFENSE, really??? and you then follow that with billy “twinkles around the stage”???? REALLY? hmm, i am a straight woman and i was offended by that comment… billy may be “feminine” and “andogynous” to SOME, but i like to think those people are just conditioned by our MEN-strong, WOMEN-weak culture and do not know how to think outside the box

    love billy and have alreayd started following him and his career at his website, twitter and facebook :)

    I, too, think Billy floats a bit…however, I don’t believe that would reduce the number of tweens voting for him. After all, tweens love that androgenous, effeminate guy thing. Take, for example, Justin Bieber.

    I DO think Billy is unable to overcome his tendency to be effeminate when he is partnering…and that affects the connection he’s able to forge with his partners. However, Billy is a marvelous dancer, and should have stayed in longer than Robert and Lauren.

    I also believe Billy had a target because of all the love lavished on him by the judges before the competition started…and then he was unable to live up to the hype because of what the choreographers gave him (like playing with a truck and that God awful “Footloose” piece.)

    I hope he has an explosive career…and when SYTYCD comes and asks him back for a performance, he tells them where to go.

    I just feel sorry for Billy… because when all is said and done, Billy got to the Top 6 and Jose got to the Top 6. The two cannot be compared, dancing-wise and should never have advanced to the same place.

    And here’s the other thing that pisses me off: If the judges had manned up last week and sent someone home (Jose, obv), then this week there would have been a bottom 3 with one person going home-like usual. The bottom 3 would have been Billy, Lauren, and, I don’t know–Robert? Adechike? Certainly not Kent. And frankly it should have been Robert or Adechike going home before Billy. It’s the judges fault.

    As always, great recap, PottyMouth! Love the pix of Hugh – wherever do you find them?

    I will miss Billy, but I think Adam was right (I know, unusual) that he just was born on the show with the performance with Ade on Tuesday. He just never connected. Did anyone see him on the HBO show Masterclass, with Jacques d’Amboise? Holy moly, he was awesome (as were the other kids, and Jacques.) Will look forward to following his career and seeing him in the future.

    I saw Allison Iraheta and Orianthi perform live just 4 days before this performance show – they open for Adam Lambert. Separately. Orianthi was dull, but Allison was actually quite good live. Don’t know what happened on SYTYCD — I thought she was bad.

    I had the exact same reaction as you did to the bottom 3 (and pretty much the rest of the show)

    In fact, during my rant to my friends, I included the comment that I bet the tvgasm recapper will be saying the exact same thing!

    Somebody please tell me that the vote was the result of two weeks combined? Please? Because otherwise that makes me even more pissed than before at the unfairness of it all.

    I could see Billie being bottom 3 automatically for sitting out last week but then combine the votes for the past 2 weeks to determine the other two members. No way Robert beats out Lauren two weeks combined (much less one week!)

    Ok, taking a deep breath…

    Last rant — why not mirror the past seasons when we had a top 20 and let the voters take over in the second half? I.e., votes determine the outcome from the top 5 in…makes me wonder if the two weeks of season 6 was a way to gloss over that Robert should have gone home last week or this week. Who is he related to? (Or who is he sleeping with?)

    Billie went out on an amazing note. I thought he finally pulled all the pieces together with his last solo — the perfect combination of quirk with artistry. Too bad it didn’t matter one bit. I wish him well. Hopefully he can take some time to recover physically as well as emotionally and then get on with the awesome career that is likely to come his way….

    Sorry, I meant to say that it “makes me wonder if the two weeks of top 6 were a way to gloss over that Robert should have gone home last week or this week…

    I actually think if it had played out the way it should have, Jose would have gone home last week (6th place), and with voters choice Robert should have gone home this past week (5th place)

    Moli — please stop voting for Robert! I mean, it’s your right and all, but seriously, you can see that he’s not that great a dancer can you? (Don’t worry, I’m just venting, I know my pleas are falling on deaf ears — and it’s your right to vote for your favourite *sigh*)

    I don’t understand all of the sudden extra Robert hate. I mean, I know people thought that he was annoying before, but people are acting like he’s as bad as Jose. His dancing certainly has its flaws (lifts and his hands, for example) but call a spade a spade. He is not a BAD dancer.

    Should he have gone before Billy? Sure. But I also think that Nigel gets what Nigel wants and Nigel wanted – for some reason – Billy gone.

    I am still not a huge fan of Billy’s. I feel bad for the kid and he has certainly grown on me, but the only performance of his that I honestly really remember (and watched more than once) was his one this week with Ade. (And yes, I know I said I wouldn’t, but I caved and watched it after reading the recap and dying of curiousity.)

    Maybe I am just immune to Nigel’s garbage by now, but this week’s elimination didn’t really bother me. We know who’s going to win, so anything up to that point means squat, really. I mean, even Marquis (who was voted out the second week of Season 4) is doing well, cast in a Cirque show. He’ll get exposure, anyway, having made the top 6, so I am sure that he’ll be just fine.

    Is this week the finale? I can’t remember them saying it was, but it would make sense not to this season, since there’s only 11, to try and stretch the show out or whatever. But there’s always been a 4 person finale, hasn’t there? If so, I am glad, I can’t stand thinking about this show and Nigel’s smarmy face anymore, it just makes me angry.

    For me, Billy is a magnificent dancer. Absolutely amazing. But his personality just irks me. He always looks fake to me. Fake smile. Fake laugh. Fake everything. And, honestly, he comes off as a bit of an asshole too. He just isn’t that likeable as a person. And I saw two things in this episode that (in my mind) supported the notiion that Billy might not be a very nice guy. 1) Nigel’s comment about keeping his feet on the ground. That screamed DIVA to me. 2) At the end, did you see that everyone but Robert crowded around Jose and ignored Billy? And Robert and Billy were in a show together so maybe that is why they are friends? Maybe the other dancers don’t like him much either. And there have been comments made in jest through out the seasons which kind of hinted that he is a bit of a bitch. You know the ones that they do when they are learning the dance. Anyway, I think that is why Billy doesn’t get votes in spite of his talent.

    Snootchy Bootches…Nigel’s Casey Kasemesque comment about “keeping your feet on the ground” was aimed at Jose, not Billy.

    Odette….my baby brother is quite gay……flaming some may say:) LOVE him! I have nothing against gay men…..not to sound like every other person defending themselves against being an ‘ist’ but good gravy I have an equal amount of gay guy friends as straight. Billy is a GREAT AWESOME MAGNIFICENT dancer, but he is effeminate for example…during the Bollywood routine he looked like the female of the dance. Yes, I saw my Roberts ‘jazz hands’. Billy will have a wonderful career, he simply wasn’t SYTYCD material. Lizbot, I didn’t take it personal at all I think PM told me the same thing;). Something about that big ol goofball…..he is just a kid in a grown mans body, going to vote for him UNLESS they dog someone out this week…..I love rooting for the underdog

    Sorry, Cattyfan, you are mistaken. I just checked to make sure. It is the last thing Nigel says to Billy before he asks Billy to step back in line.

    Hmm. I wish I hadn’t taped over it already. I somehow thought it was aimed at Jose. But sincec you rechecked it, I trust you. I wonder what that was all about…

    Judges are a bunch of bull crap in this show. They will fit their criticism to justify the results and not the other way round. Now that Nigel continue to screw up a relatively good show. He’s going back to do the same to the American Idol. Not that I care about that show. You can’t teach an old dog new trick. That’s what happen precisely to the show under Nigel. If he keeps it up I’ll give the show another season or two before it tanks.

    Georgiababe, the anti-Robert sentiment isn’t suddenly increased — Robert has annoyed me from the beginning. Part of what has annoyed me even more (not his fault) is that the judges have made these hyperbolic claims to him being the best male dancer the show has ever had when he has such obvious flaws. Instead of giving him constructive criticism and treating him like every other dancer (and definitley better than some), they’ve glossed it over.

    I’m not arguing, don’t worry — just explaining why I personally would like to see Robert go and why I honestly wonder if he has a personal connection with someone in production…

    And Moli, I understand — you have every right to love your goofball…I will try to suffer in silence (lol)

    BlazerGirl: I thought it was hilarious that those dancers wandered off stage mid song, then came back on again. At first I thought they were told to get the fuck off because they were so bad, then all of sudden they were back. WTF?

    cattyfan: I was thinking the same thing – this season has so much talent in it, and yet I can’t recall ever wanting a season to end as badly as I want this one gone from my TV. It’s sad really because there are kids up there that could have hung in there with some of the best dancers from other seasons. I feel like a grouchy old lady. Bah!

    vallegirl: BWAhahahahahaha!

    Nikki Hughes: The camerawork on this show has always been notoriously BAD. You’d think that a dance show would actually hire cameramen and a director that know how to film dance. At this point I’m convinced that they’ve just got random kindergartners behind the camera so they don’t have to pay them. Makes sense to me!

    zbird: I don’t think BlazerGirl meant that Lauren was automatically placed in the bottom; I think she was saying that maybe people didn’t vote for her because they thought she was hurt and would be in the bottom anyway. Which makes sense and was STILL manipulated by Nigel & Co.

    vallegirl: I think it’s fair to say we can blame Sir BitchyPants for just about anything. This is really your first season watching?? You have to try to find the first three seasons and watch them. Season 3 is a must for Danny alone!!!

    DonnaRonna: That’s an interesting thought. It does make you wonder how the results would have fallen out without all the injuries.

    Pikey578: I would also love to see Robert go this week. I don’t know if I can take much more of the judges’ comments about how wonderful he is. Is puking everytime you see someone something to be concerned about?

    Moli: You offered FOOD for Robert votes?!?!?!?!?!? How COULD you????? I don’t even know what else to say. Tell your office buddies I will give them food NOT to vote for him this week. There could be chocolate and cookies involved!!!!! In fact, send me their e-mal addresses right now so I can send out an e-mail.

    Odette Baez: I am Bitter Betty over here right along with you! The whole thing still pisses me off. I really need to get a life.

    cattyfan: Totally agree. I’d love for him to tell them where to go also, but he’s already said he’d love to come back and choreograph, so I’m sure we’ll be seeing him in the future.

    lovesthehobbitses: Yeah, it’s messed up that Billy is going home at the same time as Jose. I was really hoping he could have stuck around to the top three, but I guess that was asking too much.

    rj: I have a secret stash of Hugh pix ready and available at all times! I google some, some I pull out of my own movies. I never saw that show – I wonder if it’s available anywhere online?

    Lizbot: I wish they’d go back to the old format. I’ve loved seeing the all stars dance, but I still miss seeing the partnerships grow, and America not really having control until the final four is complete crap. Don’t bother telling Moli not to vote for horseyface – it won’t work.

    georgiababe: I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m not hating on Robert more than before; I’ve wanted him off my TV since almost the beginning of the season. And no, unfortunately this week isn’t the finale. We’re having a top three this year. So next week will be the end.

    Snootchy Bootches: Yeah, I definitely got the feeling that Nigel was trying to send him a message, but whether or not that really means that Billy’s an ass, who knows? Nigel always has his own agenda. I did notice only Robert hugging him at the end and found it odd.

    Moli: Not that you LISTEN or anything! :P

    cattyfan: Snootchy was right – Nigel said they love to see him soaring through the air while dancing, but to please remember to keep his feet on the ground in life. Or something like that. I took it as Nigel telling Billy not to get a big head about the fact that he’s told how brilliant he is all the time, but maybe there IS something going on that we haven’t seen. Who knows?

    bambinoitaliano: Nigel is never going to change. And I can’t see him leaving this show, so I guess we’re stuck with his pompous ass for as long as the show is on. I think that’s why a lot of people don’t even bother to listen to what the judges are saying anymore. I unfortunately do not have the luxury of muting them.

    Lizbot: No! Don’t suffer in silence! She must be STOPPED!!!!!!!!!! (JK, Moli. Sorta. Not really).

    I can’t believe the show is still going to be two hours tonight. I can’t wait to see how much filler we get to sit through to fill the time. Hey, maybe we’ll have six judges this week because I know we can never get enough of hearing what they think, right? See you on the other side!

    SWAK, PottyMouth

    Our conspiracy theory is a little different. We think Lauren was put in the bottom three to ensure that she gets enough votes to make it to the final. You know, so people don’t think she’s safe and then not vote for her.

    Oh Moli!! All your talk of “manly dancing”, etc. makes you sound like Nigel. Ugh. You can’t be that narrow-minded, can you?

    It was nice of you to ‘fess up, Moli, but I doubt that your office’s votes pushed Robert into the safe zone. It would take A LOT of office’s votes.

    leslilly, I am taking full credit for it;)( a woman can dream can’t she), ewwww Nigel is a pervy middle aged man…..please don’t compare me to him. Robert nor Kent have any upper body strength…..just close your eyes(as I have many times since the auditions) and imagine Anthony Burrell and DJ Smart doing all those lifts with their big strong muscles…….good gravy they better have Anthony come back

    lol Moli — I’m trying to forget about Anthony and you keep bringing him up — makes me even madder that Robert’s on the show! See what you did?!!!!

    At least we agree on two things — Anthony’s amazing and Nigel’s a pervy old man…
