So You Think You Can Dance: Week 3 Results

This was such an odd show. Does someone have the answers to any of this?

1.) Jesus' goodbye speech - the audio and video cut away in the middle of it, as if he had said something that was not appropriate. Anyone in the studio audience that could inform us of what he said?

2.) The judges based Jesus' departure on the solos. However, there was no explanation given to Jessi for their decision even though her solo was better than two of the other females. I too, think there was something more to the medical condition.

3.) Danny's laughing when Nigel explained how him and Anya were in the bottom three. He continued to laugh through three separate back-and-forth camera shots between him and Nigel. What was so funny? He was being told bad news.

4.) Jessi's goodbye speech was incredibly awkward. Why didn't Kat or any of the judges rescue her when she was struggling with her words as they normally would? I think something happened between Jessi and the show. Her dance with Pasha on the results was really really good and the solo wasn't the worst! Very odd.

I don't know if the judges are trying to annoy annoy annoy, but their obvious favoritism of Danny/Anya AND Lauren/Neil, but mostly Danny/Anya, is wearing thin on me, even more than the fact that Danny can't dance anything other than ballet and that he is mucho arrogant. On top of that, I actually expected a awe-inspiring solo to stick it to all of us who don't like him, but that stunk to high heaven too.

I would have loved Danny/Anya to just go away ... ahem home ... but since the judges were not going to admit that their hiphop sucked (especially in light of that so many couples were better than them on Wednesday), my next choice of couple to go home (due to lackluster performance - the most un-passionate tango!) was Neil and Lauren,

and yet again, Jesus and Jessi gets screwed. Achhhh. Look Jessi was not my odds-on favorite, but she dances so well and has huge chemistry (make that pining) for Pasha. And Jesus' has not taken a wrong step in the competition - he is so much versatile than Danny (compare Jesus' krump attitude - he looked the part, to Danny, who just looked like a ballerino dancing hiphop). Achhhh. And the worst of it, Pasha will have to try to keep B-girl in synch with him. This stinks.

Jesus, Jessi, Pasha and Sara getting screwed (by getting getting separated from their partner) so Neil can ogle Lauren about as much as a 2-yr old and so that Danny can wow us with another ballet routine stinks.

Do you think that the make-up dance that Pasha and Jessi did was in front of the judges? I was surprised that they didn't cut to them for comments. I really can't see how they could have cut Jessi if they had seen that Cha-Cha routine.

Mary was confused how Lauren and Neil ended up in the bottom 3? Wasn't she the one that went on and on about how disappointing they were?

I think Jessi got screwed. Out of the women up there Lauren was the weekest from week to week and had the poorest solo. I thought it was odd how she got a dressing down, then Jessi was just axed and nothing else was said to the other two. Anya's dance was odd and boring. Sara's was predictable.

I knew Jesus was a goner when I saw who he was up against. There is no way they are going to let Danny go at this point. There is a love fest going on there. I do like to watch Danny dance, but his arrogance is wearing thin on me.

And David, I think you are letting Nigel's "dude" references get to you too much. He means that the men need to stay in command of the dances which require it, i.e. Ballroom. If the men don't lead properly the dance becomes unbalanced.

Jessi is clearly completely smitten with Pasha (and who wouldn't be!?) but based by the look of utter shock on his face from the "boyfriend" comment, I'm pretty sure it wasn't reciprocated. I thought her release from the show was pretty harsh, although not unwarranted because a) her solo stank and b) liability issues since this is the second time she got sick. I mostly feel bad for her for so obviously wearing her heart on her sleeve where Pasha's concerned on national TV - and awful for him too, because how awkward that must be! He's a dance instructor so he must be used to his students developing crushes on him - but his partner on the show? if I were Pasha I'd be relieved she's gone so I wouldn't have to continue dealing with the awkwardness of that situation. Let's see if Sara gets similarly infatuated.

I'm bitter and angry about Jesus's departure. It isn't right.

i agree. i thought that, out of those in the bottom, Danny and Anya should have gone. when both were safe, i figured the partnerships were about to change. Danny is way too cocky and Anya too limited. no way should Jesus and Jessi should have left. Jesus' body of work in the competition has been outstanding. i think, if anything, they let Jessi go because they felt she might be hindered by the partnership changes that were about to happen. the couples are way close this year and Jessi and Pascha seem to really dig each other on and off the stage. maybe that doesnt sit well with the judges. this is prolly why they gave no explanation to her when she was cut.

I meant bottom three in regards to Jesus :)

I agree with both decisions the judges make. Firstly, I love Jesus, but you just can't compare him to who he was stuck with in the bottom two. Danny and Neil were/are amazing, and it was unfortunate luck that he had to be in the bottom three with them.

Jessie: I never liked her in the first place. In my opinion, she never really danced. She was full of gimmicks to get attention, like baby oil and jumping out of suitcases. Have you ever seen her attempt to do ANYTHING in her solos that is different? It's all the same. I was surprised she even made it into the top 20.

And why does there have to be a "conspiracy"? She was in the bottom three last week and they said she needed to do better, then continued to "dehydrate" and miss the show completely, and then did a semi-ok solo again two weeks in a row. I thought it was completely fair.

I don't know, I don't think it was a bad decision to send Jessie home. I think that all of the girls did sub par solos, and Jessies was the worst. I found her solo to be boring, but maybe that was just me. She had a poor solo last week and the judges told her that she would have to step up her solo if she ended up in the bottome three again, but she didn't.

As for the guys, it's a shame that Cedric didn't get the chance to go home. I wonder how long we'll have to deal with pity votes from the fans. When Neil was in the bottom I had originally hoped for him to go home (not that I have anything against him, but I like Danny and Jesus better) but his solo was great. I wish Jesus hadn't gone though, he was my favorite of those three :(

On another note... what was with the "Pasha is my boyfriend/wannabe boyfriend" stuff from Jessie? It all seemed really awkward to me. Either he's more than a "wannabe" boyfriend or she is really, really pining for him, lol.
