I had thought for sure Comfort was going home, but after watching the solos, I thought it would be Courtney.  Comfort was strong in her solo and Kourtni is just awesome.  But no, it was Kourtni.  I think between her and Comfort, I would agree with Nigel that it should have been Comfort (and judging by her tears, so did she), but of the three of them, I would have sent home Courtney.  I'm bummed, because I liked Kourtni's individuality and personality.  She was rapidly becoming one of my favorites among the women.

Matt, I was ok with.  He's technically superior to Thayne, but Thayne makes much better connection with the audience and is a better entertainer.  Though the speech they  gave Matt was a little WTF--"you started out excellent, and you haven't gotten better than excellent, whereas meh people have gotten good, so good bye to you."  Gev rocked his solo, no dispute there.

Good to see Robert the popper again, he is technical and entertaining, what every dancer should strive to be regardless of genre or style!

I too was sad to see Courtney go. I knew it had to happen(being that she kept ending up dancing for her life like every week). Still, I loved her, and it was sad. I did not like comforts solo at all. I too was confused by that," you started out excellent"..etc statement. Also, was it just me, or was Marry Murphy way louder then normal last night?! Pore Nigel is going to need a hearing aid after this season is over..lol.

I ment to say Kourtni....

I actually did the impossible and managed not to miss the show this time!

"you started out excellent, and you haven't gotten better than excellent"

Curse & I had the same reaction... I said, "so should he have pretended he wasn't as good in the beginning just so he could show 'improvement'?" ~ what a whacko thing to say... brings back baggage of the whole getting straight A's all the time so it becomes normal and expected and therefore not appreciated. :P

I think maybe what they meant about Matt is that he wasn't learning from the criticism they gave him each week. I like Kourtni and Matt a lot and think they're both excellent dancers, but aside from their cartoon piece, their dances never seemed to hang together right. That always had me kind of confused.

Ah, that's a good point about Matt not listening, it makes the criticism make much more sense.

I wonder how much dancing something choreographed by smaller people affects the taller, longer dancers. Both of them, but especially Kourtni, will have it a little tough if they follow professional careers.

Gev was hunger. He wanted to stay on the show that badly and it shows.

Robert really out did himself. Someone has got to hire him for something after seeing that. Did you notice Nigel kept giving him flack for leaving!

I said to my husband, Robert didn't go on to the competition but I'll bet you anything he's got an agent now! I think he's actually very smart in the way he's using the show's exposure to make a name for himself without having to face any critique or failure by competing in the show.
