This is where the show starts to pick up

absolutely, all the elimination shows are intense. summer of 06 was great!

I can't believe that they got rid of Natalie. She so did not deserve to go home!! And to keep Gabby who screwed up badly twice?? So not right.

She was the last girl cut before the Top 20 last season and she was clearly one of the top girls this season.

I'm watching it on dvr. On the sister doing her solo.

There's no one that I am completely in love with yet this season.

like Kherington last year!!!

the sister who is still on the show..... she has a smoking body.

there is also an asian ballroom chick who is pretty hot.

Kherington is going to be in a FAME movie that comes out this fall.

I'm not sold on the girls this year but I really like the african dancer guy and the two brothers, but I doubt both of them will get in. The younger brother is the better dancer but I think they older brother would bring something special to the show. I'm a little disappointed however in how hard Mia is being on Brandon, that dude is amazing.

Same. I also love the Asian guy. You can tell that he's had some martial arts training and brings it into his dancing. He's great.

The younger brother is definitely the better dancer, so we'll see. If the clip they showed at the end was accurate, they are going to be the last two brought in and only one will make the Top 20. It pisses me off when they do that to people that are actually close in real life. They did it to Katie and Natalie last year and the two were roommates and best friends. Doing it to brothers would be even worse.

Mia is acting out of character in her issues with Brandon. It's so not like her. Plus Brandon is the type of dancer that she normally likes. It makes me wonder if something happened in the off season. Like maybe he was quoted as saying something that offended her or something.

I think sometimes they set they're expectations too high for people. They did this with Natalie. I remember last season they talked about Brandon having too big of an ego or something. But I think mostly it was Mary talking about how his solo brought her to tears so Mia was expecting something similar.

---

But for her to keep harping on it like she has? I may be wrong, but I still say that there's something outside of this that is the cause of it.

I'm not saying she wasn't wrong. I just think all the judges have different expectations from dancers and judge based on those expectations as opposed to actual dancing talent. It's just like how they give hip hop dancers more leeway with the other forms, but contemporary dancers are expected to excel at hip hop.
