DR Jennifer, re: So You Think You Can Dance
I agree, I was surprised Will got the axe -- but I was wondering if all the fawning over him being Debbie Allen's protege turned a lot of the public off. It did for me in the beginning. Actually, I had real problems with it when she was a judge during the early rounds -- she should have been off the panel from the beginning if any of her students were trying out. And then every chance they got -- someone during the judges' comment, or from Cat, or the camera cutting to Debbie smiling or clapping for him in the audience, etc. etc. -- they kept reminding us. Several weeks there, I was like, okay, enough already, we get it, he trained with Debbie Allen and you want him to win-- it made me root against him even though he's a great dancer because I felt like they were trying to manipulate the voting and us, the audience ... But his James Brown solo won me over the other night, so I thought Mark might be on the chopping block. Comfort was a one-trick pony -- great doing the hip-hop, street stuff, but came across as uncomfortable doing anything else. Katee should win the whole enchilada...
