Another One Bites the Dust

Well tonight was a bit anticlimactic, as was last week. Sigh.

First and foremost, I have something to say to Mr. Tyce Diorio. KEEP DOING GROUP BROADWAY NUMBERS! They are beyond awesome. I wish so much that I was there to see that live because I'm sure the cameras didn't even do it justice. It definitely highlighted the all-stars a lot more than the competitors, but I'm fine with that. It rocked.

So, we know Ashley is already in the bottom three, but who joined her? The dancers came out in pairs, and we found out that Jose and Billy would be dancing solos tonight. Yes, it's old hat by now, but I still have to ask...who is voting for Adechike?! I don't understand why he continues to pull in more votes than Billy, especially this week when Billy had two breakout performances! I really want the negative votes now, this is getting unacceptable.

Anyway, we got four guest performances tonight as well! Honestly, I don't know how they manage to squeeze all this in plus have what seems like an unbearable amount of commercials. The results show feels like it's two hours. The little jive kids were adorable, and that little boy is about to become Benji #2. The Alvin Ailey dancers were incredible, as expected, and I loved how powerful and athletic they both were. Comfort and Twitch danced their Dave Scott "Forever" routine, and it took me back to the Season 4 Top 10 Dress Like Your Favorite Dancer party at my apartment 2 years ago. I was Katee, Shanta was Twitch, Anna and Shelby were Bollywood, and "Forever" was just starting to get popular. I'm pretty sure there was a collective shriek of joy when they came out to dance that piece on the show. Last but not least was Christina Perri singing her single "Jar of Hearts" that Stacey Tookey used for her Billy/Kathryn routine a couple weeks ago. Love her voice, I'm sure she'll be successful. SYTYCD knows how to pick 'em.

Billy and Jose both danced great solos tonight, although I would give the edge to Billy because I've seen better Breaking, but they both brought it tonight. In the end, Nigel revealed that Ashley's doctors need her to get 3-5 weeks of rest if she wants to be able to dance on tour, so she's out tonight leaving Lauren to fight for the girls. I bet the producers feel a little dumb for having so many guy all-stars now, huh? I know I wasn't Ashley's biggest fan, but she did a great job on the show, and I would have liked to see her stay, but c'est la vie! It was not in the cards this year.

Here's to hoping NO ONE gets injured this week! Other things I'm hoping for? A freaking waltz! Adechike in the Bottom 3! Another awesome group dance with the All-Stars! Mary Murphy! Ah, if only Nigel read this...
