Well, at least Ameriker is not totally on crack.

Thrive to spite them
Only partly. This is going to sound mean, but I hope that Ashliegh can't dance next week.
The wrong guy went through.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The fact that Ellenore had to double-check what had happened only makes me love her more.

And I think that even more than her work on the show, getting the boot will help Mollee grow up.

I mean, right? She was in High School Musical at what, 15? I doubt there's been anything she's ever wanted and not gotten.

Exactly. I was actly kind of impressed. You could see how upset she was, but she reigned it in and was very gracious. I do think she has grown tremendously over the course of the show and I really hope to see her do well in the future. Just, she really had to learn to drop the "I'm a little kid act." And I think it's gotten through to her.

I was thinking about age and success on this show, and the very young (under 20) dancers who have done the best are those who have lived away from home. Kathryn is 19 but moved to LA by herself. Jacob moved to NY. Ellenore seems to have been mature enough at 14 to persuade her family to move to NYC. Not sure about Russell - he is 19 but not sure about his school/career. But Nathan, Noelle, and Mollee are all still in high school (or graduated in the spring) and haven't had to live as adults yet. And I think that's a big difference. I think kat p was saying they should put an age limit of 20, but I think they should require people be at least 6 months past high school graduation at the time of tryouts. It's a huge transition to being more mature for most people.
