That was the only audible sound in the room when we heard Cat tell Robert, "No!" As in, "No, you're NOT in the bottom 3 again this week." Meaning that Lauren IS.
??????????????
There is no accounting for how people vote, that's for sure, but my guess is that it was a combination of the "popular" folks splitting the vote (Kent and Lauren), and people rising to help the folks they suspected would be in trouble (Robert and Adechike). In any case, that was the moment that we knew both Jose and Billy would be going home, because let's face it, NOBODY thinks Lauren should go home. And I mean nobody - have you seen the postings on this girl?
It was an unfortunate outcome, I think, because detractors be damned, this was a big week for Billy, while neither Robert nor Adechike had particularly outstanding performances. Yes, Robert's contemporary number with Kathryn was beautiful, but if you go back and watch it again (as I have, more than once), you realize that the number is beautiful, and Kathryn is exquisite, but Robert's just kinda...window dressing. He did well, don't get me wrong, but compared to, say, Billy's "homeless" dance, it was really nothing special.
But that's the show, folks, and when you don't vote for the folks you like, you can't complain when they don't win. In this case, I think there were just enough people who were ticked at Billy for not dancing last week (and not going home as a result) that it cost him the vote in a week when Robert and Adechike's fan clubs finally kicked in. Further proof that the judges should've let Jose go last week, because then there would've been another person in the mix this week, and Billy mighta made it.
If only they'd had a fan judge last week to keep them straight... *sigh*
What was your reaction?
This is a fan blog for Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," focusing on how the untrained audience judges the dancers and their performances.
Not that the world needed yet another fan blog about a TV show, but after a very interesting Season 7, I felt more convinced than ever that this show would benefit from having a judge on its panel each week who is merely a fan - not a choreographer, producer, or Hollywood bigwig. The Judges (capital "J" when referring to The Main Trio) might find themselves a bit more in tune with the audience if they actually ever bothered to ask why the audience votes the way it does. So, to be purely self-serving and egomaniacal, I have appointed myself "the SYTYCD Fan Judge" (until such time as the show appoints one), and with that, here is yet another fan blog about a TV show...
