@lusty: "WOW!  I totally loved Benji's solo routine.  And I agreed with the judges
that Heidi & Travis' afro-pop routine was the best of the night.  That
was some awesome choreography and awesome dancing.
I'm ready to see Natalie go.  She is a great dancer, but she's never
really clicked for me.  I was surprised last week when it was Allison
voted off and not Natalie.  And Ivan is cute and has grown a lot, but
he just doesn't compare to Benji(!) and Travis.

I think the format this year has been well thought out with the first how
ever many weeks having The Audience determine the bottom 3 males & females
BUT the judges having the final say so as to who goes.  Then they switched
to where The Audience not only determines the bottom 3 but whoever received
the fewest votes is eliminated irregardless of the Judges opinions.  I think
this week's comments about Natalie and Ivan were accurate, but I also think
comments from the Judges this week and in previous weeks have been strategic
and intended to influence "america" and the votes since it is The Audience
votes (or lack there of) that sends someone packing.  Nigel is the Executive
Producer and definitely has a vested interest in certain dancers staying or
leaving.  Of the final 6, Nigel clearly wants Natalie and Ivan to pack their
bags.  Benji and Travis (to me) are CLEARLY the best 2 males, and I would
prefer to see Natalie go versus Donyelle.  Did Donyelle just look Not Happy
after her solo or was she in Pain?!?!  I agree with Lusty's comments about
Natalie being a great dancer but not clicking for her.  Natalie has never
"won me over" either.  For me, I wish the final 2 females were Heidi and
Allison.  Benji, Travis, Heidi, and Allison ... not that would be a great
show, but it won't happen.  No matter what the outcome, I have enjoyed
SYTYCD much more this year, and I know it's helping promote dance all over
this country.  ALTHOUGH, I still cannot appreciate Krumping.  Ugh!  :o(
Go Benji & Heidi!!

Because this is an entertainment show, I don't think the change was
unplanned, but introduced as an (TV) audience hook. That said, I'm
reminded of Nigel's comment to Ivan when Ivan was selected during the
auditions: "I can override any vote I choose!" 
Nigel hands us a couched clue every week. I'm concerned for Heidi that
last  night's comment by each judge was, "Heidi is the most improved lady
dancer." Then again, she'll have an advantage next week, 'cause she'll be
dancing with Benji.
No question in my mind that you're correct.
Absolutely...and, as I pointed out above, he has the right to override any
vote of the viewing audience as well as the other judges. With his vested
interest in the outcome, he's sure to exercise his privilege if he alone
deems it appropriate.
We all do. :-)
Everyone I've spoken to, dancers and non-dancers alike, have expressed the
same opinion about Allison. I think that for whatever his reason, Nigel
exercised his option.
Yup! In spades.
Call me grumping, but I still refuse to call it dancing. 
Woof! Woof!

 I noticed the WCS reference.  Melanie and I were sitting on the couch
watching the show, and when they referred to Benji's solo as WCS, I looked
at Melanie and said "huh?".

To be accurate, they said "solo WCS." Whatever that is... Wait, isn't that
what Moe, Curly and Larry do? :-)

Yeah, she did not look kara44@example.com.  I assumed it was because her toe
was paining her, and I also assumed that this contributed to her somewhat
more subdued performances last night, as compared to previous weeks.
Hope whatever it was doesn't hurt her this week.
