I kept trying to remember if that was from last season or the first season! Cause I know something similiar happened the first season and the girl made it into the top 20 last season... Maybe she decided not to do the show or something? I dunno.

Yeah, I'm annoyed about it. I was wondering what happened to her, she was really cute!

I scanned the message boards on the SYTYCD website and they were talking about some girl named Claire who was supposed to come back. Is that her? Someone who dances with her said she got pregnant so couldn't come back this year. Could be a rumor, I don't know.

did anyone watch last night?

Yes! Lacey (Benji's little sister) was SO good!! I also really like Jessi. I'm not sure who I like in the guys yet (I DO want a girl to finally win though), but I DO know that I don't like Ricky. I thought I could deal with him being a little "different," but I can't. He's just not for me. I don't think he'll stay.

Most of the dances were great. I didn't like Ricky and the tall girl (Ashley?), and I didn't like Neil and Lauren.

ohh yea that girl that hurt her ankle or something? .... idk what happened to her

ya i watched last night- i missed all the ones before it though, I was so mad, i didn't even realize it was on! (but last summer i didn't have a job and had nothing better to do then sit and watch tv at night .... now i'm so busy i never get to watch tv!)
It is so nice to see everyone from last season in the audience, and i love Mia! I haven't seen the couples in action before last night so idk the story with them but i really liked couple #3 and couple #7 (i think.... they did the wade robson routine)

Mia IS fabulous!

And last night was the first night with the couples, so you've not missed anything. :)

i was impressed with them all, some more so than others. i liked the disco routine and the broadway number the least. i felt bad for the couple(was it ricky and ashley ?) who danced the tango and were criticized because the girl was bigger than the guy. what did they expect them to do-chop off her feet?

alethia, it will be coming on again tonight!

Based on the bottom three couples, I was glad that Ashley and Ricky went home. I thought Neil and Lauren should have been in the bottom instead of Dominic and Sabra, and I was hoping Neil would go home and they would give Ricky another chance. I just don't think Neil is that good compared to the others.

for some reason, Ricky really bothered me... idk why
but for both of their solo's... they did kind of suck... i mean picking barbara streisand and writhing all over the floor? come on....

yeah, what was up with that? do you think maybe she wanted to go home?

i think spinner boy-dominic, will be the next to go. take away his spins and there is not much there.

and what did you all think of benji's solo?

Ricky was weird looking, but a really beautiful mover. I think he deserved to stay for longer. The reasoning they gave for keeping the other guy - his personality - seriously, that doesn't get you far in the dance world. I've never once been asked to chat with someone at an audition - only dance. They don't want to hear you talk!!!

Benji's solo was...um...yeah...It's clear he's been taking other technique classes (he was lifting and kicking his leg way more than a swing dancer normally would), but I didn't get the dropping pants thing at the end - though it did make me laugh.

On that note, can I tell you how much I HATE this trend in hiking the leg up to the side and leaning over? It's not a true show of your extension because you are bent over and your hips are all out of alignment. Plus, I don't need to see anyone's crotch that much. I've never been in a legit technique class that included that. I think it's something they are doing at these suburban studios now and people think it's impressive? If you notice, none of the real choreographers ever put that in their pieces...Sorry, it drives me crazy...

I really like Dominic, so I am glad that he stayed. I wasn't all that excited by Benji's solo.

co-sign!

and why do i feel like this season will not be exciting?
