[Vastatozilla]

this stuff is so gay.

[Kittenswithpartyhats]

You need to play some clips along with it

[leahhea]

this is stupid

[PenaltyKillah]

I only agree with one of them actually.

I won't say which point, but after watching the very latest episodes (Top 8), I think you can guess. Dancing and acting in one routine is so Season 4.

[britishippo]

NEWSFLASH: The show is America's Favorite Dancer, not America's Best Dancer. As shown two weeks ago, they go for personality more than technique; if it was based solely on technique, Channing would have stayed.

Plus, ticket sales couldn't have had anything to do with Mollee staying; given that she'd made it to the Top 12, she was going to go on tour no matter what.

[Keeliv]

I can give you countless reasons for Nigel's douchebaggery, I'd be happy to explain them you're interested in listening. Anyways, over the seasons its pretty clear the judges don't do things solely based on the best dancers anymore. They have their own agendas and that includes selling tickets for the tour.

For all you know, the judges decided to keep Mollee because they thought more people would pay to see her. Why? Because tweens love her, she's perky bouncy and annoying, just like a tween.

[britishippo]

Say what you will about Nigel and his supposed douchebaggery, but notice this as well:

Mollee was safe and Karen went home, and it was a unanimous decision from the judges. Clearly, Nigel and I aren't the only ones who thought that Karen was the weakest link and that Mollee's solo showed that she deserved to stay.

[Keeliv]

Nigel is a manipulative douche who changes his standards from week to week. For example;

Mollee was awful, if you know anything about dance you'll notice that it was all tricks, weak transitions and NO connection with her music whatsoever, just trick after trick. Neil Haskell and Marquis Cunningham were called out for it in previous seasons (however both did better jobs than Mollee) BY NIGEL. When did his standards change? His word lacks weight on this show because he lacks consistency.

@Keeliv

Nigel even took time to point out that Mollee's solo showed that she actually cared and was fighting for her life, and Karen's only truly memorable (for me) routine was that amazing Tango. Unfortunately, it was followed up by that atrocious Hip-Hop, causing her to be (deservedly) sent home.

Also, think about what you're saying for a moment: someone who is "like a cheerleader" isn't personable and has no musicality? Cheerleaders embody the very concepts of personableness and musicality.

[Keeliv]

@britishippo

Mollee's solo had nothing. Her gymnastics are not personable, she's like a cheerleader...No musicality and she's never had a single standout routine.

Karen at least had the Tango, the hip-hop and her cha cha.
