I don't know that this is a rule though. If I knew that I were going to be on the show, I'd try to tailor short pieces of longer routines that I knew so that I could pull those out and use them for my DODs if/when necessary. I'm wondering if the rules state that you can't use pieces you've done pre-show. I don't think so because I feel like both Danny and Travis at least did DODs using portions of solos you can find them doing longer versions of on youtube. It never ceases to amaze me that some of these kids pull out the crappiest solos. Especially the contemporary kids (who are the biggest hair flinging offenders). I'm quite certain that most of them have competed and/or gone to dance conventions at some point in their dance careers. Why not just do part of a combination that you were taught at a convention? I mean, maybe they can't, but if it's not against the rules? Why not? It can't be worse than rolling about on the floor, flipping your hair around, raising one leg in an extension as far as it'll go and just leaving it hanging there for seconds on end, running around the stage aimlessly, standing there picking at your clothes or doing the "reach out to the audience" move. Sad for them all.

kat is going to die with the hair flinging solos that were on show tonight.
Another reason to like Ellenore. Short hair. Can't fling it.
I think the judges were full of shit tonight for one of the people they sent home.
I loved how Nigel made sure to tell us up-front that their decisions are not about the solos, because Karen's was totally for shit.
But also: I don't care if he's never seen a handspring whatever it was, that's NOT DANCING. I mean, seriously. Effing Mollee.
Mollee should be gone, gone, gone. Let's hope for next week, eh?
yeah, she was over-praised for that shit she put out on the dance floor.
I'm pretty sure last season some people were critized for putting a lot of gymnastic moves into their solos and then tonight there's on that might as well be a floor routine and it gets praised that's total bs.
FYI, Nigel, you know that "aerial cartwheel onto the knee"? It's called "falling".
The above comment at TWOP has me rolling!
Ha ha ha!!
