I felt sorry for Hok. They were getting into a Cedric vibe and it was irritating me. Nigel is just not a good spokesperson for the judges. Not because he's wrong, but because of the tone of his voice. I'm defensive that way.

SYTYCD: I had been hoping for Lauren and Kameron, but I can't say that I'm sad to see Anya go. She's just never hit it out of the ballpark for me and her solos really show her limitations.

I thought Neil and Lauren's solos were much better than previously. I think if Hok and Neil had each danced their last solo, Hok might have stayed.

Anyone know what's up with Gawker's comment on the "horrible 'restaurant' Boucarou" where one of the Sara's works?

It's a bottle-service type place, in the east village, where that kind of thing Should Not Be.

SYTYCD: I figured Hok was going to go. It's not that he wasn't good, it's just that, as Neil mentioned, when compared with the two other b-dancers who have made quite remarkable strides in a number of different dance style, Hok just hasn't been as impressive. Not that that comparison should be the bedrock of his dismissal, but as beautiful as he was, he just didn't have the precision or grace as his peers.

Lauren not going home is bullshit. And I think it's because of the assistant thing, and the keeping her around for the tour thing. But Anya was clearly the better dancer, and that was the best solo she had ever done.

Sabra and Dominic are my favorites. I'm so proud of them!

I love Sabra and Dominic! I'm so sad that when it comes down to the end, only one person can win. Plus, they split the couples up next week and give them new partners. I'm so bummed.

It's a bottle-service type place, in the east village, where that kind of thing Should Not Be.

I don't think I know what that means...(bottle service means you byo and they charge you a fee for corking it, right?)

is that just considered the hight of tacky there?

Here I don't know that there are any places that charge a corking fee. Most places here are only BYO in the first few months after opening until they get their liquour license.

Which Sara works there? It's Sara N, isn't it? Because I think that the other Sarah was most recently back in Jamaica.

It's Sara N, isn't it?

I think so, yeah.

I don't mind Lauren. I do think that Anya's the better dancer but for some reason the public doesn't seem to like her and she winds up in the bottom three every week.

The thing about dancers like Hok and Cedric is that if they're going to continue to put these "unique" dancers through week after week, I think they need to change up the partners every week. It's not fair to the girls they're partnered with to be penalized every week because they have a partner that isn't diversified. Poor Shauna went home BEFORE Cedric and she probably wouldn't have even been in danger had it not been for Cedric's performances. Same thing with Jaimie.
