Joy and Dimitri are probably my least fave couple. Dimitri is really talented though, and Joy seems really sweet. I'm like Shane Sparks, I want to be nice to everyone!

I can't stand Joy. I just find her annoying. I hope she gets voted off. I don't think Donyelle is overweight in real life/real world, but there is a traditional image of dancers as tall, lean, thin, in shape, lithe, flexible, etc. and anyone who doesn't fit that image is going to have a harder time at auditions (though I didn't like how Nigel brought this topic up). The world of dancers is still like the world of models, the world of actresses, and the world of popstars. They are not representative of the average American woman. There may be some changes and some barriers being broken down, but when people hear the word dancer or model or actress or popstar, it still most often evokes the image of young, tall, thin, beautiful, feminine, leggy, busty, blonde, caucasian.
