YES AND I just spent 15 minutes trying to explain to live-in why the emmy winning dancers were there performing again.

"So... they want to be back on the show? So they can win again?"

UGH.

whhaaaat? Boo

There was a rumor going around facebook when this season first started that Janette was an AXiD, but I dont know if there is any truth to that. I cant find what school she went to....so I dunno...

Love Janette, can't stand Kayla. Was really hoping for a different result!!! But I'm glad Brandon didn't go, too.

I think I know what it is about Janette...her teeth, and how she got all stupid-goofy and jumped up and down like a crazy person whenever she got any praise.

I kept telling Cat to say Kayler's name, but she didn't listen...she said Janette's instead.

I really thought Evan was going to be going home tonight.

I was WAY more excited to see past dances than I was to see Katie Holmes!! Yay, Ramalama!

Has anyone else noticed that Season 1 contestants don't come back like the others do?

I love that you said "Kayler" instead of Kayla

Ramalama was amazing, and Katie Holmes was kinda...eh

I'm kinda sad that Jeanette is gone...if Melissa hadn't been in that performance last night, she would've been gone

I an a big fan of Kayla and even I was suprised to see jeanette going home instead. For the above poster if jeanette is a AXiD she could have going to Florida International University, I know alot of miami natives go to FIU.

Also I think that season 1 never comes back on the show because they arent wanted, the show never talks about season 1 all they talk about is season 2 and beyond. Plus season 1 wasnt as popular as the others, which is sad cause I loved Nick and Melody and even Blake.

It was just a completely different show. They had that plastic surgery poster child Lauren Sanchez as host. The couples changed every week. Sometimes, two couples performed the exact same routine. Not to mention, the judges picked the bottom three couples and America voted from those selections. There was also no Vegas week the way it is now; it was all studio time. It's hard to discuss it when the format is completely changed.

I compare it to some of my favorites, like Will and Grace and Sex and the City. Will had long hair and Karen didn't have her signature voice in the first few episodes. Carrie addressed the camera in season one and a little into season two. People tend to prefer the later episodes of those; they changed things because what they had wasn't working.

I was glad there was at least SOME footage of Season 1 in the montage: Blake and Ashle's samba, Melody and Alan's lyrical, Blake's solo, etc.

So I loooove this show and thought the performances they brought back were very good. I wish they would've brought back the one with the flowers that Mia did for her father, especially after she was so broken up about the breast cancer performance.

Don't shoot me, but I'm glad Jeanette went home. I was hoping she and Evan would go. I hope that either Jeanine or Melissa win. They've only had one girl winner, they need another one!

I was completely shocked by the girls' bottom 2... but then not really. Halfway through last night's show, I was convinced that Melissa and Ade were heading home. But after their second performance, I figured that'd carry them into next week. Janette and Evan's performances last night weren't that memorable, so I can understand how Janette ended up in the bottom 2. It's unfortunate that it sometimes comes down to the choreography and types of dances that are given to the performers.

And I'd just like to say that those two slower dances by Janette and Evan and Jeanine and Brandon were, as Nigel put it, painful to watch. They were waaaaay too slow. And with Melissa and Ade's cha cha, the music was fast but I thought the choreography was too slow. The second half of the show really made the night.

As for the guys... I was shocked. Again, Evan was in two dances that weren't particularly great. And I think I expected Brandon's popularity to get him by.

Jason going home really made me sad. These past two weeks, he's been amazing, and he did exceptionally well last night. When I watch dances on this show, the majority of the time, I find myself watching the girls for 90% of the performance. But recently, I've been watching Jason instead. It's upsetting to see him go.

ETA: It also sucks that Janette didn't get the praise she deserved until after she was kicked off the show.

Boo. I'm shocked and disappointed that Kayla is staying and Jeanette is going home.

I was also disappointed in Katie Holmes' performance. Rather flat and blah for me.

LeslieAGD · #12 07-24-2009, 10:31 AM

Pissed about last night

It seemed like Jeanette was comforting the judges who kept saying she shouldn't go home. She actually seemed a little pissed, and I was too!

SNOOZE at Katie Holmes' performance. She danced and sang "Get Happy", but just seems like a very sad, boring person.

I'm starting to call shenanigans on SYTYCD. I could've told you who would've been paired tonight before the show even started. And surprise, surprise Evan got a Broadway number
