Phillip is the least deserving. Well tony and JonJon were, but they are actually gone. Kupono was horrible in his Hip Hop, but good in all his others. Vitolio has been just middle of the road the entire time.

Wait.. The judges loved him three times. Hot Tamale Train last week, loved the Wade Robson (yes, they mentioned his fluidity and how good it was), and Wednesday's Sonya Routine. Saying someone has reached a new level does not imply they sucked before that. Where did they say he only performed well once?

The Crash Test Dummy was actually amazing dancing. It was fluid, imaginative, and not as simplistic as it may have looked. I also enjoyed his Viennese Waltz; and this week his technique, much of it classical, was really fine. And which guys are at a higher level? Pillhips: one note, as enjoyable as he can be with that one note; Evan, fun but not any kind of master; Jason, better at solos than at pairs; Ade... well I am still not sure about Ade.

As to playing to strengths, ALL these routines are designed that way. Jason's are designed for chest puffing (as are Janine's often enough); JonJon's were made for flips and tumbles (and add Caitlyn to that, too); Evan's are made for Gene Kelly flare and cocktail lounge charm. Part of Vitolio's problem is that he had no real style to work off, and so he ALWAYS seemed kinda bland (though I really really really wanted to like him).

Right now, Jeanette and Melissa are the ones who draw me in the most. Kayla does have amazing technique, though her persona could be a bit more intense. Brandon is a good dancer but breaks character too often for my taste. Kupono... is far from my favorite, but I do see potential.

Wonder how you feel about Kupono...

Obviously, we disagree... though I do like MArk more (even though Kupono actually appears to have stronger technique, with higher jumps and more fluid kicks and jetees).
