smartcookie, you are so right. I don’t recall who Billy’s partner was, but do we really need another Hip Hop dancer?

Now, we’ll be hearing about the lack of personality in Season 5. May this group have as much personality and talent as they did. I have a bad taste in my mouth over this season.

Oh man, he was my favorite, too. I might have even voted for him and I’ve never voted before. I hope he is OK and they let him come back next season (if he wants to)

What are they going to do with his partner and his partner dance scheduled for tomorrow? Give the girl a free week and start over next week? It still seems unfair, though, since presumably the others have had more time to get used to each other. And now his partner not only gets a new guy, but a guy who has a totally different style than the last one.

hmmm. sad to see billy go, like many of you have said, he was one of my faves going into this week. had top 4 potential. but why replace him with a luckluster hip hop dance and not another contemporary guy? and silly kids, it was SARS, not the swine that go to poor billy.

I decided to have no favorite at all this season and then suddenly I stumbled into this guy. My interest in this season is almost zero now. I am so upset.

Hope he gets well soon.

I hate that – he was far and away my favorite. I think it has to be something more serious than flu. I hope I can stay interested now.

Jim! Thanks for messing up my format! j/k.

Sorry MJ. [embarrassed face]

So….do we think Billy Belliott has the swine flu? [inappropriate rumor mongering]

This is such a shame because Billy was TOP 10 material and a favorite by many. Wishing for a speddy recovery!

What great dancer Billy is. This really is a bummer. Here’s hoping he can make a reappearance next year and most of all for a speedy recovery!

So sad to hear that Billy won’t be part of the show this season. His dancing took my breath away, and I was so looking forward to seeing more
I wonder if he’ll go back to Juillard for now and come back next season…
