Nah. I think Heidi is technically the best female dancer on the show. But do like Allison and Donyelle is fantastic!

I don't know if I agree with that statement. I have to see Heidi do hip hop before she makes a believer out of me. Don't get me wrong...I think she is a phenomenal dancer BUT I think barring last week's contemporary, I still don't feel like she's been pushed that far out of her element.

I think the fact that Allison pulled off the Argentinian tango TWICE, the samba and showcased her beautiful contemporary talent deserves her being one of the top two girls. And even though, Donyelle didn't have the best week, this week, she really has done well, considering is a hip-hop dancer. I mean, really, she did the Viennese Waltz & she did it well

Shame on me for reading this thread before watching the episode.

Anyway, seeing now that Alison has been voted off, I think that it's the fault of the judges.

They kept telling her that she was a favourite to win the competition, so I'm sure her fans just assumed she was safe regardless and didn't call in to vote for her as much as they normally would have.

The same thing happens on American Idol all the time.

She didn't show any personality. Natalie, Donyelle and Heidi are all big crowd favorites.

I don't know if I agree with that.

Mind you, I think they are all great dancers in their own right. But if was based on that night, Alison didn't deserve to go home. Natalie was off, even in her contemporary. Quite honestly, the bottom two should've been between Natalie and Donyelle (and I love Donyelle!).

I completely agree, but I'm not talking about their dancing

As far as dancing goes, I personally was never that impressed with Allison until last night, I think I finally saw a little bit of what everyone else seems to have been seeing all along.

I'm talking only about personality. She was just too shy, and next to the very outgoing, friendly, charismatic personalities of Donyelle, Natalie and Heidi, she seemed downright dull. (I know she's not, but she seemed that way.)

I'm shocked that Allison got voted off. I really assumed it would be Nat. At any rate, I'll really miss her sweetness. As Cat pointed out, she's only 18 and has a lifetime ahead of her. Because of her exposure on national TV, I'm sure something good will come her way.

From here on out, it's going to be disappointing every week. Because they are all good dancers, there's nobody I want to see go home.

I couldn't believe thae said Allison.

I totally agreed with the Ryan getting voted off, but Allison. She has been consistant and nearly great every time.

Oh well. Now we are left with some really great dancers and voting will be tough.

I was sorry to see Allison go, but as the judges said, any female who goes from here on out is just because someone has to go.
I was crushed to see Travis in the bottom 2. I chose him from the very first round of auditions. I don't think he'll be able to beat Benji in popular vote, but he really is incredible.

I almost forgot! Did you all see Dan Karaty's t-shirt? It had an image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the words, "Praise the Lord" over it! Surprising that he'd wear it on national TV, but I thought it was cool!

At this point I won't be voting for any of the girls. I think it's a toss up between Benji and Travis. Too bad they can't end up with 2 guys as the top two instead of eliminating one gal and one guy each week. But since that isn't happening...

Even tho I don't care for Heidi, it would be cool to see Benji and Heidi and the final two. Two cousins competeing for the top prize. Like last years best friends dancing for the title. (I voted for Nick)

I am still upset that Allison was voted off. My husband has sworn off watching the show because she was his favorite. She was more talented than Heidi and Donyelle. I don't want either of them to win.

I like both Travis and Benji. Benji has that "it" factor and is so entertaining to watch. Travis has the best technical ability and its absolutely beautiful to watch. I wish they could both win!

Ivan is an amazing dancer. His career is certainly not over. Neither are many of their careers that have been voted off thus far.

Benji and Donyelle sure do look as though they have a bit of romance going on. I think it's really sweet. I like them a lot as partners; their chemistry is fantastic. Benji did get on my nerves there for quite a while, but he can definitely dance!

It seems the favorite to win is Benji?
