I was thrilled to see Natalli and Francis in the bottom three, because while I'll admit Natalli has grown on me juuuuust a little, I still think they're both overrated. Francis's over-the-top rumba made me want to elbow-drop him in the face. (Um. I'm exaggerating.)

I was hoping they'd send Tamina and Izaak home, though, because I think Joey got hosed with Tamina as his partner and I would have liked to see him dance with someone he doesn't so clearly despise (not that I blame him one bit). As you'll recall, I've had a soft spot for Izaak since the auditions, but I'm unconvinced he'll ever live up to his potential – he's a bit like Ivan of SYTYCD U.S. Season 2 that way ('member Ivan?).

One more note on the eliminations: I was a little worried they'd kick Kaitlyn off, based purely on the strength of the solos (or the lack thereof, in her case), when she seriously deserves to be there. I would have liked to see her matched with a stronger partner though (i.e., Joey). Alas. It is not to be, unless she manages to squeak through to Top 10.

But HOW EXCITED were you all to see Li'l C and Benji??? And after I just made a comment about how I would love to see Li'l C show up this season, too! Now if only we can get him judging. But seriously – Miles and Lara attacked his choreography with a fervor and unwavering intensity I've never seen from any krump routine done on the U.S. show, so mark one down for Canada in that column. (Ditto Allie and Danny's quickstep: the strongest I've seen on any SYTYCD show, riveting to watch, and finally, they lived up to their hype.)

Nico and Arassay were, as always, my favourites, and I was mightily impressed with Blake's routine. True, he was channeling Mia Michaels in a big way, but when is that ever a bad thing? Especially when you can pull it off.

So, good people of my small-but-loyal readership, what are your thoughts? Did the right people go home? What did you think of Jean-Marc's opening number? Who's in your dream Top 10? And most importantly: will you, like Layuh-not-Leeah, be going to see High School Musical 3 on opening night?

I was so extremely excited to see Li'l C and Benji. I also hope Li'l C does some judging b/c he rules at it. The Krump was really good, as was that quickstep. I am okay with Joey and Tamina going home, though I agree that seeing Izaak go might have been better (I also agree about the Izaak-Ivan thing).
