Add me in to those who think there was more to Jessi's elimination than we know. She'd been a Nigel favorite ever since the baby oil audition and on elimination night, he kinda treated her like something he scraped off of his shoe. I know that was her second case of "dehydration" and I do think the liability issue played into tossing her, but Nigel was just cold. Also heard that Debbie Allen was the dissenting vote in bouncing her and that she was the only judge to talk to her after she was thrown out.
I'm still upset about losing Jesus. He was better than Neil in every way that a dancer can be, including in his DoD. Ptui.
I'm insanely excited about Big Brother.
I'm watch TNFNS, and I'm really not interested in any of the people left winning.
This is the episode where Alton asks if they can just send everybody home and start over, isn't it?
Yes, Sean and I totally agree with him.
I'll say again, it's because they haven't had enough TV show challenges, both for the contestants to get comfortable in front of the cameras, and for the judges to see how they'd really do on a show!
I think you're right, Jesse.
But they give them the advice, and they totally ignore it.

After reading that interview, I'd say liability was a big issue -- if she's telling the truth about checking herself out of the hospital (rather than being discharged) AMA, then insurance usually won't cover you. Which leads me to believe Nigel's problem with her may have been something to do with how uncooperative she was being.
Take my bad read with this grain of salt: Never liked her, think I never will.
But they give them the advice, and they totally ignore it.
I think they need more practice. Not that Adrian was any good, and he's apparently on (local) tv all the time! But I feel like the ones last year did get better and better at dealing with the cameras, the time constraints, the swap-outs, whatever, so they could actually work on their "point of view" and all that crap.
Whoops. Mrs. Top Chef and Salman Rushdie are getting divorced.
