that's alotta coke
Seeing as you can go to jail for a really long time for something like 4 grams, that's a serious coke problem right there. I mean, that's about 5 kilos right? Hope that can last to the weekend for Vince.

The judges were so mean to the Russian folk choreographers. It's not any more out of the ordinary than Tahitian this season. They did exactly what they were told to do. To be that upset when they got exactly what was asked for was ridiculous.

Mandy Moore deserved it. It was a very simple routine. We didn't learn anything about the dancers. MM is really hit or miss with her choreo and this was simply a miss.

She should have been wearing the hat all night.

To be fair, it's almost the same amount of screen time per week. Practically a wash in that sense. But without the steady paycheck.

Weatherman
For those who would fail to look it up on the Internets or are from Houston, the Weatherman was an actual weatherman in Houston. He was the weekend guy for local NBC. He was not very good. He quit his job to be on the Bachelorette. But that's the reality dream, right? Quitting your job to be on TV!

a year to catch up…
That gives me a full year to catch up. Whew. In all seriousness, it is #1 on my watch-on-DVD list since I never caught the first run.

Remember, 3 of the 6 winners have been African-American. It's quite possible that Adechike is neck and neck with Kent for the title. I think the judges would have eliminated him if he were ever in the bottom three, especially early on.

The entire panel looked high/drunk. Maybe because they don't have a say anymore or because of the prop 8 thing. But they were wacky all night long. More useless than normal.

Agree! Tookey is the standout choreographer this season. Tyce needs to quit retreading old performances. And I'll fight the AVClub writers who say Adam is a better judge than Tyce. Adam provides the most useless criticism each and every week.

Nigel said the top two last night were divided by a mere 1% and that voting overall was up 68% this week. I think that actually bodes very poorly for Lauren winning this thing. But that's just conjecture.

Allow me to translate: Billy is wrong for SYTYD but right for real-world jobs such as Broadway. It's not like he's going to be a lead singer/dancer/performer but he'll be just fine.

I don't get the Adechike love. He's completely one-note and has been saved by Mia backlash sympathy votes. And I know I sound like a SYTYCD judge, but he hasn't grown at all.

Billy was doomed
By the Bollywood routine. He stuck out like "Jose in everything" next to Robert. To say that Billy is one of the best dancers SYTYCD has ever seen is really wishful thinking. There have been about 125 dancers on the show and I'd place him somewhere in the middle, to be honest, especially…

Jose
Do we all agree that Jose is going home tonight? It seems likely. But picking the second person from Billy, Adechike, and Robert is tough.

Whether you liked Bollywood or not, I think it was clear that Robert was MUCH better at it than Billy who wasn't getting it. Billy is by far the most complicated decision of the night. He had possibly the routine of the night with Ade but then a poor Bollywood effort. Couple that with his knee injury and I have no…

yeah, he was about a foot and a half taller than everyone else. funny.

Whether you can come back or not is not based on how far you make it in the competition. It's if you go on tour or not. Alex will not be healed in time to go on tour so they are letting him return to Vegas. However, Ashley and Billy likely WILL be healed in time for the tour so they will have a choice. This is…

Yeah, I can't love that routine because it was such a blatant copy of the "Bleeding Love" routine. If a casual, non-trained fan can pick that up before Nigel mentioned it, something is seriously wrong. So I booed that routine. Yes, sometimes choreo is to blame. Couple that with the fact that they drew the most…

I agree, it was the sound mixing that made it "look" worse than it was. It was in my top 3 performances of the night.
