Probably Bottom 3 for Jaimie and Hok Again

Once again Jaimie put on magnificently stunning performance, and personally, I felt that Hok wasn’t half bad. I still think, however, that the judges have a bullseye firmly planted on Hok’s back and no matter what he does in his solo tomorrow I’m thinking the judges will axe him. It’s unfortunate really because he brings a whole other flavor to the competition, however, I’m guessing the judges don’t want to let America keep Hok around based on his high energy and entertaining solos and would rather have someone like Neil or Cameron prance around with their “contemporary” styles. Ideally, it would be Cameron who gets the axe, since he’s clearly just riding on Benji’s Sister’s coattails (who, ironically, is riding Benji’s…), unfortunately, due to Benji’s popularity, I doubt Lacey and Cameron will be in the bottom three.

Tonight’s episode further showed how weak Mary Murphy is the permanent 2nd judge. After Wade gave breakdown after breakdown of the dancers, Mary resorted to annoying screams and pointless puns. The problem with having Wade as a judge is that it prevents him from being able to choreograph the routines. I’d say the show would be much improved with Nigel and Dan Karatay as the two stable judges, with Wade making appearances about every thing week and definitely a judge on the final few shows. Mary could possibly brought in as a guest judge at some point, since she might be able to give some insights in a more minor role. I feel the show would loose absolutely nothing if Mia Michaels had no involvement with it whatsoever in either a choreographing or judging capacity.
