I do pretty much agree. I liked both of the ones that went home but do feel that the ones that stayed were better dancers.

I would love to knw the breakdown of the judges since they were not unanimous in the decision.

I fell asleep.....who went home?

I think I would have put Philip and his partner (can't recall her name) in the bottom three, instead of Jason and his partner. As much as I love Philip, that was probably the worst tango I've seen on SYTYCD in the 4 yrs I've been watching.

But I have to keep reminding myself -- the show's purpose isn't to pick America's *BEST* dancer; it's to pick America's *FAVORITE* dancer.

Frankly, I hate to see any of them go. This isn't like the last couple of years, when there has been a dancer who is so clearly totally out of their element (remember Cedric? Susie?). They're all really really good. Of all of them, I think Philip is probably the weakest of the guys, but ONLY because he appears to be really struggling with ballroom. And he's one of my favorite dancers.

So we'll see what happens next week. I still don't have any particular favorites, although a few seem to be rising to the top in my estimation. Time will tell.

You are right LanaM, time will definitely time.
