Mia took some time off to do other stuff.  I just read a blog about it yesterday, but of course now I can't find it, so I'll piece the story together with Googled items.

Oh!  Here it is!

http://www.examiner.com/x-26229-So-You-Think-You-Can-Dance-Examiner~y2009m10d28-Mia-Michaels-on-why-she-left-SYTYCD-cancer-rumors-and-her-own-show

 

In short, she had cool stuff she wanted to do for herself and needed a break from SYTYCD so she could do it.

 

I'm missing Wade Robson terribly.  I think he's only choreographed for the first ep where everyone did their own styles.  He's my favorite choreographer.

The dance number mid show was so good I watched it twice.

 

Snoop Dog made up that song on the car ride over.

 

I can't believe they sent Ken home. 

Yeah, I was pretty shocked he went home too.  My mom called me last night to talk about it and she apprantly voted for Ryan.  I accused her of voting for his chest.  She didn't deny it.  It's possible that this guy's chest is a force to be reckoned with.  I guess we'll see next week.

I find neither Barbie nor Ken to be attractive. Good dancers, sure, but not attractive. They're too... plastic. And she kind of looks like a man. I especially like the pairing of Jacob and Eleanor, they are so good separately, and better together! I'd be sad to see Legacy and especially Russel go, but I'm not that attached to any of the other females.

Stupid show.  I am not a fan of Barbie... but how do you keep the girl with the sucky solo, who didn't dance the week before and send home the Barbie who had the awesome walz?  Stupid voters.

 

Also... how did Mr Buff not go home?  Do the viewers watch his solo?  I think at this point I could dance it.  Do a twirl... fall on my knees... swing my hand around as if to say "Enguard!" and then move my hips around a little. 

 

Russell better win this thing or I am going apeshit.

ACK!  I missed the results show last week and only just now saw who went home.  The married couple both should have been sent home.  Although I am glad that Molly's out of contention.  But , Dude, Legacy?????  WTF!!!

 

I'd love Russel to win, but Jakob and Eleanor both deserve to win it as well.  Either of those three and I'm happy.

So I just voted for Russell, Jakob, Ellenore, and Katherine.  I couldn't decide.  Katherine wasn't even previously on my list, but she just Killed it tonight!

Russ should win the whole thing.  Ellanoire was great last night.  I like Katherine... she has those crazy eyes and talks all high pitched, plus has a great body. 

 

 

I almost didn't want Russ to win when he hurt his wittle knee and started crying like a girl!  But I am glad he did.  I mean he can't do a jump and touch both his feet to each side of his head... but he was the best dancer.
