I didn't watch last season and I don't know why I'm suddenly in to it. I was just looking for mindless non-reruns to watch after class and got sucked in. I like that unlike other shows, these judges actually give constructive criticism, not just clever, snotty sound bites.

I'll take this over Idol any day.

I do disagree with tonight's results, however. Natalie should have gone home before Allison. Although I don't love watching Allison, I think she is a bit more versatile. Ivan should have been in the bottom two tonight--he should have gone home a couple weeks ago.

Ivan is a bit of a puzzle. He'll have a really killer week, then suck, then do well again. I thought he did pretty well this week. Although given overall performance I would have put him in the bottom two. I think Ryan was the right choice to go home tonight. I don't think he's terribly versatile and frankly his specialty style doesn't float my boat.

I was sure Donyelle would be in the bottom two, but I'm glad she wasn't.

Ryan has some great potential--he's likely to get a job with a modern dance company or, if he takes partnering classes and works in finishing his lines, he might do well in a professional ballet company.

I was suprised that Allison was in the bottom two. I was more suprised that the judges said that if Natalie went home tonight, that America would have gotten it all wrong. After all that "Allison's our star" stuff....it just didn't match up for me.

Donyelle should have been in the bottom two, but she's got a fan base. With Allison gone, more votes might go to Natalie, which probably won't help Donyelle. She really needs a fabulous week next week.

I agree that Ivan's had his moments, but I'm not seeing a professional dancer when I watch him. I'm seeing a kid that fakes it pretty well.

Definitely. I think Ivan and Donyelle should be the next to go.

How was the group number? I got home late and missed the very beginning.

They did the cell block tango. I was less than thrilled.

Yeah the group number was definitely....different... The zombie thing was much better.

Who's ever heard of long pants, white shirts, and suspenders for anything from Chicago?

Don't forget to watch tonight!

It would be impossible to forget! This is my must see teevee this summer.
