Perkins, I think I'll have to pass. Thanks for asking though.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Listening to idiots squeal through that lovely pas de deux almost ruined the whole performance for me.
OMG, yes! I can understand their enthusiasm when the contestants are on stage, but I'm surprised they weren't told beforehand to STFU when the pros were dancing.

I remain shocked about Will this morning. I def saw him as one of the top 4 and thought ofhe and Katee as the two to beat. Now I think it is really betweek Katee and Chelsea.

I was shocked at the Will boot, but following quickly was the thought that this won't make much of a difference to his career as a whole, and I think he knows it (although it's probably nice to win, too, and take their money). Will had already been noticed by choreographers, etc., before he hit the sytycd stage and he handled the boot like a professional.
Contrast with Twitch's reaction when he heard he was in danger. He'd interviewed during auditions, I think, that it was this or the navy -- which, if he's telling the truth, seems to indicate that his career in dance wasn't going anywhere, so being on that stage means something very different for his life's path.
So, thanks America for giving Nigel the proverbial finger with Mark, but boo for not dialing in enough votes to keep the best dancer-man on the stage.

Does anyone know what's going to happen with Comfort and the tour? Are they going to send both her and Jessica?

I think they already announced that Comfort will be on the tour. But even if they haven't, I'm sure she'll go. They always send alternates. I think last year Lacey was gimpy for a large chunk of the tour so Anya and Shauna filled in for her when we saw them in Greensboro.

I thought it was interesting that they showed that he had done choreography for Korean music videos. If anything, that might be something he can capitalize on after his exposure on SYTYCD. It wouldn't surprise me if Nigel and crew asked him to do some for them next year, because he really is very good at his specialty.

yeah, usually more than just the top 10 end up on the tour anyway. i think it's technically the top 14.

I'd be interested in seeing some new choreographers if only because my own personal reactions to a Mia contemporary, Tyce broadway, etc., are getting predictable.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think the SYTYCD voting result (men's) was a result of the blatant pimping of the judges. This is Lacey all over again. Mark's fans seemed to have enough of it.
I'm actually glad. I didn't think Mark was being treated fairly. It's bad that Will had to suffer the consequences, but I'm glad Mark got to stay another week.
