A new, hidden personality of Nigel seems to be coming out this season. I have been saying it all along and now we now the truth: he has been affected by gamma dance rays!
As his green dance persona has been taking over the old scroogy producer/casting director we have seen in the past:
• Nice Nigel comments—“we have to be nice to the dancers this season” sums it up.
• Jumping up and down by Nigel—Hip hop and Broadway in particular seem to make him move off his seat.
• Not scared of real dancers—the Gumby brothers and the hot flamenco guy are professional dancers in the results show.
• Dancing puppies and snuggle bears (really!).
It certainly makes it an even more entertaining show, as dancing does seem a little more in the mind of the producer than the casting of the final ten. I have not made my final conclusion yet, but the show does seem to be a little less rigged this time than in previous seasons. Except… is Cat psychic? She said: our first couple in the bottom three is: Chelsea and Thayne (wait, wasn’t there one envelope still not open?). Oh, well…
Oh, the results... I failed to predict one couple again: Comfort and Chris go to the bottom three, where we thought Kourtni and Matt would be. I guess the Krump was even krummier than I thought. Of course, Chelsea and Thayne sail through the solos war. Marquis and Susie dance for their life in routines that I thought would make it hard for the judges to justify kicking them out. Comfort returned to her c zone and pops a number, and her partner Chris did not outshine Marquis.
Susie and Marquis are out, as predicted. In the context of the casting of the top ten, this is what I expected and is what I predicted yesterday. However in the one on one in the solo wars, in comparison to Comfort, Susie was better and, in comparison to Chris, Marquis was better.
The excuse given to us by Nigel was that Marquis was more of a trickster than a dancer and that Chris has shown some limberness in his development, with potential for growth (all these tree references…). From my perspective, it seemed to me that it was the other way around actually, with more tricks than dancing by Chris the Tree, than by Marquis. Well, I guess we’re back to casting instead of dancing. The gamma dance rays have worn off for the night.

Let's hope, at least, that they take a hint and convince beautiful Debbie Allen to reenact her role as Lydia!

Marquis should not have been kicked off. It seemed like an almost impossible decision because all three were amazing in their genre of dance... but their excuse for kicking off Marquis was weak. The audience wants excitement and Marquis' tricks gave it to them. I believe he diversified his solo with plenty of "dance" mixed in with his "tricks"
... Bring Back Marquis!
... Susie can stay off though =/
she didn't do ANYTHING special during her solo... I'm not even sure what style of dance she was doing.. like a mixture between some Latin flare and hip-hop on heels... no clue? =)
