So You Think You Can Dance: What The Hell, Judges? - Page 2

I didn't think it was a terrible decision.

I agree with this article. I did not appreciate his attitude or his choice of clothing but I think he danced well enough to go through to Vegas. I think the Judges have a personal problem with him. I love this show and I don't agree with the desicion to cut him but I'm not exactly losing sleep over it either.

I can tell you EXACTELY WHY he was not put through. Nigel was repulsed by him you could see it, and why is that... Because Nigel is gay Nigel had that look that gay closeted men have about other gay men that appear to feminine or are obviously gay, as this wonderful dancer was. He was great, yes he needed to losen up a little but so did that young man who made it to the finals last time, and he did. NIGEL WAS GAYAPHOBIC I could see his saying NOT ON MY SHOW>>>>. what a shame.

He's technically flawless... but I had to agree, he had no 'spark' on stage. His skill was the kind of thing that only a few people outside Julliard could appreciate, and that's not their audience so that's why he didn't make it.

Right on, Gina! I would have put Anthony through to Vegas. Seriously, they let Ryann Race go, and not Anthony? Personally, I loved his diva routine at the end, when he couldn't find his shoes. And it would have made for good, heartwarming television to watch him mature throughout the show. He was so robbed.

In a case like this where judgement is based on subjective criteria, how can you say that someone "deserves" to go without a shadow of a doubt? The judges have their reasons for not putting him through, and they seem sincere in wanting to have a high level of talent on the show, so I''m willing to defer to their judgement. People complain about the same issue on Step It Up and Dance. Just because we as viewers may like someone doesn't mean the judges are wrong if they don't agree.

He is good but not as much as the others

To be quite honest, I don't remember his dance, but I DO remember his exit, which was tacky to say the least. I don't think it will invite a 3rd try, but ya never know. He started out okay with the rejection, then when he was unable to find his shoes, he fell apart! LOL!

Yeah, I don't get what the judges see...or don't see that disqualifies some of the good dancers. They must see things we don't as pros (them).

Either way, I LOVE this show!

It's so subjective. With his 'tude, I'm glad he didn't make it.
