I completely agree and said as much after it was announced that she did have an injury.

What I think is that America, myself included, is in love with hiphop right now. It's the most amazing new dance form we've seen in decades. We, the uncoordinated, unskilled spectator public, sitting on our a$$es in front of our tvs, love to watch hiphop dances do what we KNOW we can't do. Many of the other types of dance? Ah, we *think* we could do them, after a few lessons. (We'd be wrong, but that's beside the point.) Hiphop? Heck, we KNOW we can't do that shick.That's why Will had to go.

In addition to the hype, we happened to have had a top four full of talented and compelling male dancers. All four of them totally deserved to be there, and any three of them would have made a great top three. In that event, I think America's heart went out more to the amateurs, and given Will's connection to Debbie Allen and how good he was, nobody had any worry that he "needed" to win to make his career. Thus, people were not as compelled to vote for him.I looked at the top four guys, and really, wasn't ready to see any of them leave. Given that choice, Will is the only one I won't totally miss. I'd have been really sad, for instance, if Josh had gone first, or Mark, or Twitch. It was the right choice.

LAST EDITED ON 07-25-08 AT 06:06 PM (EST)But there has been an anti-Will under current since the beginning as well see http://community.realitytvworld.com/boards/DCForumID99/233.shtml as an example. The question was how far would his "Chosen One" status carry him. Most of the time being the Chosen One doesn't mean you win the competition, usually it means you go out in a shocking elimination a week or two before the finals. ETA: Actually Mark leaving this week makes a lot of sense to me with that top 4. However, given that he seems to be getting less than a fair shake by the show the last couple of weeks it wasn't hard to predict this week his fans would be out in force including a lot of people that usually wouldn't vote. and Funny how Will went out the reason people thought it wasn't fair he was on the show at all was so evident.

I do think some of the shocking boots is that the fans of that person are complacent in addition to any fan base that is energized for some reason. I do think Will didn't have as strong a fan base as some might think from how good he is. Some fan thread stats (for individuals, on IDF there are also couples threads for some of them) IDF forum Will's Fan Thread 144 pages Mark's Fan Thread 3011 pages Twitch Fan Thread 39 pages Joshua Fan Thread 39 pages TWOP forum Will's Fan Thread 25 pages Mark's Fan Thread 57 pages Twitch Fan Thread 4 pages Joshua Fan Thread 9 pages While Will has a lot, Mark may have more motivated people. What I find odd is how few pages seem to be for Twitch. Although page count alone would have Will being in the final four, but I do think complacency does play a role in the totally expected "shocking" elimination they seem to have every season on any show where the fans vote.

mmm why is Marks fan base so huge ??? seems kind of racist to me since he's the worst male dancer left and the only non-Black.

LAST EDITED ON 07-29-08 AT 03:01 PM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 07-29-08 AT 03:01 PM (EST) *screams* *runs out of thread* eta: Sorry I had to run away. I obviously can't speak for everybody but I can tell you that Mark's being "non-black" has nothing to do with why I favor him. He can have whatever color skin there could possibly be and I would still adore him. If Twitch were "non-black" I would still think he is the weakest of the top three (five) guys. But that's just me. edited again for niceness

I had to log back on from home because I feel the need to expand my comment. Especially now that I'm not feeling rushed.I love Mark for this: "I find it easier to dance than to speak sometimes." and this: Mark has received a lot of support from his dance studio back at home with 24-7 Danceforce putting on a Wednesday night event for Mark where his students and friends can gather and vote for him. "I think they're all excited to watch me on TV, cheer me on and see me grow," Mark said. "Usually it's the other way around." Both from this article. And also this:
Besides, the last time I checked, Joshua was leading for the males in pretty much all the polls. That gives me reason to believe that race is playing no part in this. I'm sure somewhere somebody is voting based on race. I'm also sure in some of those somewheres those somebodies are non-white. Also? Last year's final two were both non-white, if you recall. I'll not chew my cabbage twice regarding your opinion that he's the worst male dancer left because it's just that... your opinion. A ho's (and Snidge's) work is never done.

17. "Will Interview" |
Interesting interview: http://www.buddytv.com/articles/so-you-think-you-can-dance/exclusive-interview-will-wingf-21514.aspxQuote: Do you feel like you were misunderstood at all? Absolutely. What is it about you that you think America didn’t get to see? I feel like, with the packages, I’m not the type of person that’s really high-energy all the time and just takes you and pull you in. I’m more a person that’s more low-key, in the background, but once you get to know me, I’m an awesome guy. I really am. I’m from down South, and I was raised with very good values and morals, and I will help anybody. Absolutely anybody. So I feel like with the packages and the time and the stress level and all those things, a lot of times America doesn't really get to see you. They edit it the way they want, but that’s fine. That’s absolutely fine with me.

Thanks for posting that. Interesting that he understood the negatives about being too associated with Debbie Allen
