They don't need a specific dancer to sell tickets for the tour...they sell out pretty damn quickly.

I think they see growth in him and just want him to keep progressing.

I really love this show.....I am always in such awe of what they do.

I think they should stop giving him hip hip and allow him to grow as a dancer.

Looks like they're keeping Philip around for the tour and will probably get rid of him at the first opportunity when they're down to the final 10.

That's just silly. They don't HAVE to limit the tour to the top 10. I remember two years ago, Nigel made a big deal about the fact that Hok would be joining the tour even though he wasn't in the top 10.

They probably kept Phillip so that they'd have something different to see in the solos every week, rather than always leaps, pirouettes, and splits. I know if I were a judge, I'd appreciate the variety.

He's only been in the bottom once though.

I know, but he'll be in it again. He's just not good enough to compete with the other men.

Agreed. He can't make it much farther without some eyebrows being raised.

Yes, but they know Philip has a huge following on the show and they know audiences will want to see his fantastic solo work.

That's just silly. They don't HAVE to limit the tour to the top 10. I remember two years ago, Nigel made a big deal about the fact that Hok would be joining the tour even though he wasn't in the top 10.

It's not that silly. We all know Phillip won't win, but why make a big deal about adding to the top 10 in the tour to keep an audience favorite when you can simply keep them around until the top 10 and then give them the axe? It makes a lot more sense than keeping someone around who is clearly not anywhere near as versatile or technically skilled as any other dancer on the show, especially when they landed in the bottom three and were kept around over someone who nailed more of their performances. If they are keeping him around to "watch him grow as a dancer", then why are they eliminating anyone? It's a BS excuse to keep around an audience favorite. Philip is best at the one thing he does, but he is the worst at absolutely everything else. You can't say that about any other dancer on the show this season. Eyebrows have already been raised, especially when he finally landed in the bottom three (ironically for his one good performance) and was saved so we can "watch him grow" which is an admission that he is not at the level he should be to compete on the show with everyone else.

I find Mia Michaels absolutely insufferable, and I dread every week she's on the judging panel, but she choreographs some of the most beautiful routines I've ever seen. Of course, it helps that Kayla has such gorgeous lines. Every time she lifts her leg, it's beautiful. (That sounds like a pervy guy watching a dog pee, but you know what I mean!)

It's funny, at the Easter Bonnets this year the Naked Boys Singing cast did a contemporary dance, also about addiction, also set to "Gravity"! Very odd.

I really like Phillip and Janeane but that is not going to get them any votes.

Oh my god, that Argentine tango was hot as FCUK. I started sweating a little bit. It was damn near perfect.

Tyce is an idiot. Telling Evan that he needs "more" but didn't say anything specific. Seemed like a baseless comment possibly rooted in jealousy.

Brandon and Janette were FLAWLESS!!! They are my top couple this year and I am sad to see them separated.

Ade and Melissa are my other top couple and I am sad to see them separated as well. re: SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE

Evan kinda disappointed me tonight. Randi was GOING FOR IT and he kinda just did the moves and that's it. I still love him but he needs to get some soul into his movements.

Phillip, while better than previous weeks, needs to go home.

Janette and Brandon were easily the best of the night. Incredible. That tango was breathtaking.

Love Melissa and Ade, but Evan really is disappointing me. I know he's a brilliant dancer but he's not bringing it. Love Randi though.

Phillip and Caitlin need to go.

I agree, Shbrt - Phillip and Caitlin. They are, hands down, the worst of the bunch

I think the judges were smoking crack tonight.

That Broadway number was fabulous.

Obviously, Nigel wants Phillip in the top 10. Even if he's in the bottom three tomorrow they will save him.


I love Pasha and Anya. So great to seem back on the show. Updated On: 7/8/09 at 10:01 PM

My favorites of the night were definately Jeanette and Brandon. That Tango was, as Nigel said, perfection, and I loved their Wade Robson Jazz. I also loved the Kayla and Kupono contemporary. Other favorites were Randi and Evan's Hip Hop and Melissa and Ade's Disco. That Russian Folk Dance was embarassing. I'm glad Nigel admitted it wasn't the dancers fault, it was the choreography.

I can't even guess who will be in the bottom 3, but if I had to send someone home, it would probably be Caitlin for the Girls and either Jason or Phillip for the guys. I feel like Jason is a great dancer but he has done nothing for the competition. Phillip is great at Hip Hop and I feel like his personality brings something to the show, but he is extremely limited to just hip hop. He did well in the Jive, but let's face it, that dance was all about Jeanine, who I think is absolutely incredible.

I'm really excited for the top 10 as I think they will be a phenomenal group!

IMO- Mia Michaels is a genius! I love the song "Gravity" and that piece was just AMAZING! I LOVED IT! I also really like Janine too! Jeanette and Brandon were the best tonight! It's funny how neither one of them made it on the show last year and now look how well they are doing! I don't think any of the guys are as good as some of the guys in the past though! And who knew Melissa could shake her bum like that!

I didn't love the disco number as much as the judges did, but Melissa has phenomenal lines (as she should), and Ade has such strength that the one lift with Melissa spinning above his head in a full split with one leg up to her head was BREATHTAKING.

This season's of folks....while talented.....are not meshing as well as Season 2 and 4. Last year, I couldn't WAIT to see Joshua, Katie, Twitch, etc. This year, I don't feel that pull.

Brandon and Jeanette were perfection. They hit both of their numbers so well... ugh, I love them both. They are definitely the couple to beat, and I think they have been since the beginning.

Melissa and Ade were also amazing. I think both of their routines were wonderful (I personally liked the waltz quite a bit more than the judges), but they weren't as good as last week. Still fabulous, though.

Jason and Caitlin were... pretty good. I liked their Broadway routine quite a bit, but overall they didn't really grab me tonight.

Kupono and Kayla were surprisingly wonderful tonight. I loved how they performed the contemporay piece, especially. I am loving how they are improving.

Randi and Evan were good tonight, but Evan disappointed me. I love him, but I hope he pulls up and gives it everything he's got. Because I think we all know he's a phenominal dancer, he just needs to show it more. Randi was beautiful and overall fabulous.

Phillip and Jeanine were pretty good tonight, but that Russian piece didn't do them many favours. I was pleasantly surprised at how well Phillip did with the jive, but I still don't feel he is up to the standards this competition has.

My prediction for the bottom three? Phillip and Jeanine, Jason and Caitlin and Randi and Evan. Out of the girls, Caitlin, because though she is amazing I think the other girls outshine her. And out of the boys I am going to say Phillip. I love him, he is great at what he does and a great personality, but he really needs to go home soon. But if his solo gets him through, Jason.

The Russian dance was sort of hilarious. It wouldn't have been so awful if it had some sort of contemporary spin on it, but as it was, it came off as sort of an exhibition dance at a theme park buffet. Jeanine rocked it, though.

I'm ready to see Philip go, but I think it might be Evan and Caitlin tonight. Which means, of course, that it won't be those two at all. I don't think Caitlin deserves to go, but all the girls are quite good. I think it's going to come down to their solos unless the judges have already made up their minds.

I'm worried for Evan. I want him to be in the top ten, but I don't know how he could partner anyone else.
