I was happy to hear Mia really crack down on someone. I think this show tends to be TOO nice. I really dislike Jessica, but I thought the first number was fantastic. The second, however, was abysmal. I have taken all of two dance classes in my life, but even to my untrained eye I could see how lackluster her quickstep was. The leg movements weren't sharp at all. I do think Will did poorly in the number as well.

I don't like when the judges criticize for something that the contestants have NO control over - such as costuming things - I forget whose jacket was criticized last night as bunching up and distracting.

I am also sick of the judges just worshipping the choreography. I'm sorry, but some of the choreography this year has stunk, but yet the contestants get the flack for it. They can only dance it so well- they can't change the steps!

I was actually surprised to hear Mia praise dancers last night...she's been a little harsh this season, I think

That was Will's quickstep jacket....and they criticized Chelsie and Thayne for their "joker" costumes one week...yet when the girls wear "half a dress", Nigel gives them brownie points. NOT FAIR!

It seems this season is a lot heavier on the choreographer praise than before, ...I just thought about this... - maybe they're trying to keep them around? They've lost 4 - Brian, Dan, Shane and Wade.

LOVED the Indian number last night. So fun!

Shane still does the show. He did initial judging for SYTYCD and he's choreographed group numbers. He says he works for both shows in interviews.

Wade's been choreographing for Criss Angel's Cirque Du Soleil show out in CA. He also has a song on Carly Simon's April released cd. So he's just busy. I don't think SYTYCD lost him really. He was pulled over to start with b/c he was choreographing for Am. Idol's Live tour and since that's Nigel's show too, it makes sense....

I think the show is better for not having Dan, imho. His choreography always lands the contestants in the bottom 3. Now Brian, Shane and Wade...their choreography is great. Shane and Wade have done some group dances on this season. Rumor has it that Brian had a falling out with the producers and will probably never return to SYTYCD.
