Oh that is SO funny, but true!!

I noticed there were a lot of "open shirt" type jokes going around :D My husband thought Dmitry was kept around in the top 10 just for his looks and chest (you know MY husband has a great chest, and can dance, and :rolleyes: :rolleyes: - :D )

As much as I liked Martha, I am kinda glad she left.......now I don't have to hear Cat call her Marr-th-ERR, that just drove me nuts when she pronounced her name!!! :rolleyes: <sorry, being a little Cat-ty!>

I dislike the new format, it makes the Thursday portion completely worthless. Nothing is at stake, the "exit soloes" were the same routines/same music as the night before, and whomever is going home is a foregone conclusion. No drama, I didn't like it.

I was surprised but glad Dmitry got sent home instead of Ryan - Ryan just has so much power, and a lot of talent, whereas Dmitry was starting to get "one-trick-ponyish" for me. Good dancer, sure, but ...

And Martha is fabulous, but seemed tired - and I am sure she will go on to do great things, she is extremely talented.

I did like the fact that they danced more than one dance though! :D

Yeah I liked last years format much better.

Although the final dance being the dance from the night before is only fair. When they kicked of American Idol they sing the song they sang the night before (I think it's just an insult really. "you are getting kicked off the show. why not sing the song that got you kicked off") lol But when they already have to learn three dances I don't think they have time to learn a 4th. They only have a few days. but it does seem kind of pointless. I guess just 30 more seconds of exposure for the dancers.

I don't think it is a foregone conclusion who is going home this week coming up. It's going to be tough becasue everyone that is left is amazing.

I find the new format extremely confusing. Are the solos free-style or is it the dancer's own choreography? I know the couple's numbers are choreographed by the Program's choreographers.

Also something that strikes me as odd. When the bottom vote-getter dancers have to come back and "dance for their lives" what we see on TV is them coming back onstage about 2 minutes later in a complete costume change and dancing a 30-second routine, some of which are really complex. Do they make ALL the dancers prepare a 30-second routine or are they really dancing on the fly after a very quick costume change? Does anyone know?

They said a couple times that the soloes are the dancer's own style, freestyle - the dancer's choice.

I am sure they all prepare a routine just in case.

i watched an interview with a couple of the contestants. They ALL have to prepare a solo just in case. It should be something they have choreographed and practiced. We all remember how upset Nigel was with Ben and that other guy because they didn't put any work into it, they just came out and free styled.

One thing I AM excited about is that the top ten are going to go on tour after the show is over. I don't think they did that last year, or if they did I missed it. Unlike the American Idol tour, I would try to see the top ten from thsi show perform. I hope they come to San Francisco or close enough.

WOW what an incredible show. my husband and I are both voting lol. I have voted for Benji and Donyelle so far and I also want to vote for Heidi. They were all incredible and it was a great show IMO.

I can't wait! It's only 7:15 p.m. here in San Francisco right now; the show doesn't come on until 9:00.

Oh man that sucks. you will like the show. Even my husband was into it :D

ugh I missed it the show tonight and last week. :(

Can anyone tell me what the name of the song is that they danced to in the opener like monsters? Better yet, does anyone have a link to that dance? I LOVED this routine and loved the song even more but I can't find it!!!

Thanks!

Wow I really thought that Benji and Heidi were AMAZING last night. I was blown away. I was so excited when I saw that they were going to be dancing together - I remember when the were in LA before the top 20 was chosen and Benji had to dance for his life, he took Heidi to dance with him, and they were incredible then. Ever since then, those were my favorite two. I just loved both of their dances. Of course, I loved the others too. It's so hard to choose a favorite because I really love them all. Of the ones left, I'd have to say that Allison is probably my least favorite girl, although I do really like her, but she always has the same facial expression. I really have NO idea who's going to be leaving tonight.....

We called a bunch of times to vote for Benji, Donyelle and Heidi lol. I really enjoyed the show last night.

The song in the opening was called something lik Ramalama (Bang Bang) or something.
