    Is it wrong that I’m looking forward to watch Alex Wong tonight instead of the contestants ;)

  • teekee

    Didn’t like the Twitch & ? hip hop.

  • HermeticallySealed

    Loved Cole’s performance.

  • teekee

    Okay…I got it wrong. Who danced with Twitch?

    Looks like Lindsey’s a goner tonight based on the feedback.

    Cole is back tonight <3

    All the videos are Chehon’s solo!

    Chehon’s solo is breath taking <3

  • HermeticallySealed

    I hate that song!  OMG, it’s as bad as Halleluiah or anything by Whitney.  >.<

    Thank you!

  • HermeticallySealed

    Noooo!  I like both Will and Cole. ; ;

    Course, I think I’ve liked all four of the remaining guys.

  • HermeticallySealed

    You know they are saving Cole.

    They better DO THAT!!!!

    If Cyrus wins, I truly understand why SYTYCD will not get renewed :(  America’s favourite dancer should at least be a great overall dancer too.

    SOOOO sad Will went home :(
    Loved his personality.

  • hayes

    Allison Holker is quite possibly the most amazing woman this show has ever had.

    I was sad to see Will go home.  Now, I’m hoping for Cole and Eliana to win.

    When I think about them, I realize that this whole group of eight are pretty wonderful dancers. But the no-results-show PLUS all-star format means we’ve seen them quite a bit less by now than we’ve seen other top eights. (That isn’t just my imagination, is it?) Which I guess is why I haven’t been able to get as fangirl-ish about any of them as I have been about some people in the past. All four of these guys are pretty great, though, to me, even though I think Cyrus has been kind of getting a pass on versatility that hasn’t been offered to some previous dancers. Like the energy, intensity and individuality that all the guys have, plus their prowess in their own styles. Lindsay (Lindsey? Linsey?) hasn’t stood out to me as much on the women’s side — she dances pretty young, it seems to me. So I don’t mind losing her. My fave is Eliana, though.

  • nncw

    My top finalists: hope Chehon wins, hard choice between Eliana and Tiffany.

  • hcpoirot

    Cyrus will 100% win for the boys unless the viewers suddenly realized that his dance routines were the weaker out of 3 boys remain.

    But thats not gonna happen. The producer make sure of it by putting his solo and dance routines near the pimp spot. (routine number 13 and 15 out of 16)

    I dont know why Nigel wanted a hip hop dancer win the title very bad. The show already had 2 hip hop boys win and only 1 contemporary boy dancer. (that is season 1)

    So next week it will between Chehon and Cole who will be going home. For the girls, Tiffany will move to the final , thanks to her great routine with Ade.

    Poor Witney, she got the boring hip hop routine that will not get her many votes. So she and Eliana will be in bottom 2 and guess who will Nigel save? Eliana.

  • poipugirl

    Hope Cyrus goes home next week.  He definitely does not deserve to go to the finale.  I don’t find him that great of a dancer, even in his speciality. 

    Love Cole and Chenon!  Both are great, although Cole is my favorite and I voted for him last night!  

    I hope Eliana wins for the girls.  She and Tiffany should go to the finals.

    Witney will get some sexy dancer actress role offered to her, especially if she can act.

    Cyrus isn’t the best dancer but I love him. He has such personality and I have loved his last 3 routines. He has charisma for miles. And inhopemh continues to pursue more dance training after the show.

    Chevon is the stronger technical dancer f the remaining boys bt I think he has a bit of trouble connecting. He’s awesome though.
