Top 12 Results and Top 10 Preview

This is going to be a short entry in the Chronicles of the Standard-dancing Athlete. I just wanted to comment on the Elimination, and make a few notes to watch for come Wednesday night (or Thursday morning... gotta love DVR!)

First, the Elimination.

I'm not a huge 

fan of Comfort. I like Thayne, esp

ecially since he grew up (virtually) in my backyard, but I'm not in love with the way he dances. He's good... at what he doe

s. And that's 

about it. 

That being said, however, I find their elimination slightly lagging. I think these two were fighting on the same level as Katee and Joshua, with the latter barely edging them 

due to the newly-introduced Bollywood routine. But that makes them better than Will and Jessica; and possibly better than K&J, overall.

Should they have been eliminated? I can accept a straight-forward answer from either side. Because they made Top 12, they will still go on tour... just as the "alternates." I can live with that, because we all know (from what 'Fox' has done in the past) that the Alternates make a handful of numbers during the whole process. So I can live with that. If....

If, and only if, Will and Jessica are the next two to be eliminated. If those two don't make it past the Top 10, then I will graciously forgive the Judges for making this week's decision. However, beginning this week, America becomes the decider and the Judges take a backseat with the Elimination. 

So, please, America! Stop this monstrosity that is Will's ego!!!! Don't let it get any bigger than we've fed it to become!!!!! Prove to the judges that he really isn't as good as some might think. And, most importantly, let's bring back Debi Allen!

And now, a few things to watch for this week:

• Gev and Courtney will be split up this week. It will be interesting to see how well they dance when they aren't together. I think they are both good dancers, but it was their chemistry that made them GREAT. Will the Breaker and the Pint-sized Contemporary Dancer hold the same attraction to different partners? 
  
• Twitch and Kherington are coming off their first trip to the Bottom Three. Will it motivate them to step up? Or depress them to fall flat on their faces? I would say the former, but we'll have to see.
• Who wants to see more Bollywood? I know I do, but let's have Chelsie and Mark give it a try! What have you got to lose, America?!!
