That's the thing, though — people are so het up about some hip-hop guy marauding in their classical space that they otherwise ignore equally bad or even worse performances from others (in this case, Chehon, whose hip hop ranks along with Matthew/Audrey's salsa and Dareian/Janelle's cha cha this season as the most…

Some crude empiricism:
Number of times the string "Cyrus" appears in the comments (not including the body of Oliver's recap): 41
Number of times "Chehon" appears in the comments: 26

@avclub-c027a095f6633553f8f45a0ce00fd45d:disqus My point is that three bottom finishes in a row isn't a hard and fast reason for which to send someone home (and I'll assume that you include Danny in addition to Neil as the examples who "make sense" to you). I'm not too worked out about this issue, to be honest, since…

See, why do people pile onto guys like Cyrus, who, incidentally, is performing quite well, but give Chehon a pass? Chehon was simply poor in his hip hop, and has had similarly visible struggles with styles that are a lot closer to his own as well, and yet hardly anybody is noting that, and if they do, they aren't…

If you mean her reprise with Hok… well, I don't know about embonpoint or lack thereof, but she was anything but a stick-figure. Girl was JACKED.

Agree with your best guest performances, though I prefer this season's Ailey number to those past, and I'd add the Step Up performance this year as well, plus Desmond Richardson's two performances, and Bad Boys of Dance.

We're not likely to ever know how versatile Melanie is/was, since she was catered to to an obscene degree.

George did (and does) real hip hop though! As bad as the accessories around and the storyline of that NappyTabs routine were, the choreography itself featured none of the usual Pop Jazz In Hip Hop Drag (AKA Lyrical Hip Hop) that NappyTabs usually dust off for the show and instead brought some surprising gulliness —…

To keep saving someone that the audience doesn't care for seems like a bad practice.

As much as Eliana was a pre–Top 20 favorite of mine, Tiffany has the distinction of being the only female dancer to have rocked real hip hop, and aside from the unbalanced, mildly shambolic ménage-à-deux with Audrey (i.e. the one missing Janelle) and a boring Foxtrot (but Foxtrot is boring /ducks), she's been…

Any crossover between SYTYCD and Bunheads fans beyond Genevieve Koski and I?

I don't know from Bunheads, but that should be "Genevieve Koski and me." (I'm opening myself up to Skitt's Law, aren't I?)

Incidentally, I'm glad you're giving Cyrus a fairer shake this week, though in all honesty I didn't care for the number…
