The boyfriend & I were absolutely shocked that Will went home.
He's by far the most talented of the boys, and it's sad that America didn't vote for him.
Mark's reaction was so genuine. (Maybe he was reading Buzz, where everyone, including myself, assumed he was going home. ha.) I love Mark, but Twitch & Will exceed him in so many ways.
I, actually, would have preferred to see Joshua go home. While I do think he's good, his personality has gotten really lost at this point. He seems...bored, I guess. I don't know, maybe it's just me.
I'm glad to see Comfort gone, finally. Hopefully someone else doesn't get injured this week and she gets to return *knock on wood*
I guess the last two eliminations have made me realize that it's really anyone's game. I wish I didn't work late on Wednesday nights so that I could actually vote. Can't wait for next week!

First I was shocked that Mark was safe (though he is quirky - which I like). Second, I was shocked that Twitch, and not Joshua, was in the bottom two with Will. As much as I like Will, I am really glad Twitch is still around. I'm not worried about Will, he will have a fabulous career.

I was STUNNED when Will and Twitch ended up in the bottom two. I was happy that Twitch stayed though. He has grown so much and still has a lot to learn. Ultimately, I am not really sure why Will was even on the show, although I adored him. He already has a career and with Debbie Allen no less. That is what I told myself to get over the heartbreak of not seeing him any more.

OMG Yes I was SHOCKED too! For me the bottom 2 guys we supposed to be the Top 2! But after they said Will was a bottom 2 I assumed Mark would be the other one and he'd go home. Despite me liking Joshua I would have preferred he go home to Will OR Twitch. I'm really upset and like this article said, I can't believe we wont see any more of Will's moves.

Agreed, CJane. And judging by his reaction, i think Will wasn't all that bummed he was going home considering the career he was going home too. I really hope he comes back next season to choreograph!

I was very shocked and sad as well about Will. I think that the two who were safe (Joshua & Mark) should have been in the bottom two. Although I do love Joshua too, I thought Will & Twitch were the best last night & most every other night too!! I really DID NOT like they way they announced who was safe & who was not by leaving the two in the back obviously knowing their fate! And once they did reveal that...I thought it was awful to leave Courtney in the back, all alone, knowing she was not safe. If they insisted on revealing the results this way, the should have had Joshua be in the back by himself since he knew he was safe! I truly hope that was just a trial way to reveal the results & we don't see it again!! I did NOT like it! I look forward to every wednesday & dread every thursday. I am glad that Comfort went home & at this point...the only dancer I don't think deserves to win is Mark (although I do like his quirkiness) he is not the best dancer by a long shot!!

I hate when the season is over...I love this show & am even considering getting tickets to the tour!!

America got it wrong. I'm still beyond angry. People voting for Mark need to really re-think their criteria. Quirks are great, but at the end of the day, the three other guys blow Mark out of the water.

To be honest, i think Will is, shall i say it, OVERRATED.
there's just something about Will i don't like. The fakiness, the fake "Oh my Lawd, i'm safe" expressions he makes, the vanilla personality and many more?

And Courtney annoyed the crapped out of Wednesday night.

Danny is by far the best dancer i've seen on all seasons.

I was watching Last Comic Standing and flipping back and forth. I saw Twitch go into the bottom two and just assumed that he was joining Mark. I was SHOCKED when I turned back just in time to see Will being kicked off! I am glad Twitch is still there though, he has been my favorite since the beginning. Katee should definitely win though.

Ooo also, Will got Daughtryied. Everyone thinks you are safe, so you get the boot.

I think we all know why Mark was safe. He totally got Jasmine Triased by the state of Hawaii.

I love Mark, and he is definitely my favorite contestant, but it was his week to go home and even he knew it.

Everyone at this point, other than Comfort, is just so good that it doesn't really matter who wins. They're all equally good dancers, and it all comes down to who America likes most at this point. And for some reason, America just doesn't like people who already do what they do with grace and professionalism.

Allyace, I'm so glad we just made verbs out of American Idol contestants and parlayed that into SYTYCD. You're awesome.

I was SHOCKED last night! I love all the boys, so I knew it was going to be a tough elimination, but I was sure the bottom two would be Joshua and Mark, so my jaw hit the floor when it was the other way around.

The show won't be the same without Will, but he definitely will have no problem having a career now.

See ya Comfort - nice knowing you. Loved her solos, but it was her time to go like 3 weeks ago.

hahaha fireyelectra and Allyace - SO TRUE!!!

I am still in (angry) SHOCK that WILL was sent home!!! at this point i really didnt want ANY of the guys go home, but as much as I love Mark, I think everyone (including him) expected him go home. its not that mark is bad, its just that everyone else is SO great, and i think he realized that. but i am SO mad! Will was definitely the best dancer, and deserved to win!!

Luckily, the remaining dancers are all still amazing and any of them could win at this point. personally I think it will either be katee or twitch, but after last night, nothing is a sure thing

I actually cried when Will went home. My boyfriend, who has gone from begrudging watcher to true fan largely due to Will, was shocked at how upset he was. I honestly can't say I'm looking forward to next week's episode.

Do ya think now that Debbie Allen will step in a choreograph/judge before the end of the season?

Wiiiiilllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm completely heartbroken. So sad.
Although I absolutely love Mark, everyone knew it should've been him. Including him. Sigh.
I'm very happy Twitch is still there, though!! I love love love him.=)

I am, like most others, shocked that Will went home as well. But, I loved the fact that he didn't freak out about it and was so cool, calm and collected. I mean, he probably figures he has nothing to worry about because HE IS AWESOME.

In terms of girls, I was shocked that it was Courtney not Chelsie. I always thought that Courtney would make it near the end b/c she seems like the lovable type. Even though I don't think Chelsie should have been at the bottom. Her tango was awesome.

I think that Will didn't endear himself to anyone when he threw Court's arms off of him after their first dance ended. It was sort of diva behavoir. Will is a great dancer and will have a great career but I don't think he was the best performer left. I think Joshua should have gone home, without Katee he is lacking something. Mark deserved to stay and dance another week with a partner who is his equal.

OMG felicityporter, you noticed that too!

i was just like, "Whoa, someone is getting big on the head?"

wow, I fell asleep last night before watching and boy am I surprised about Will leaving!!! I thought for sure it would be him and someone else in the final 2! Guess lots of people like Mark and his quirkiness though! I am beginning to think Twitch will be in the final.

Allyace - "Will got Daughtryied" - love that!

I was shocked to see both Will and Twitch in the bottom 2 - I expected it to be Mark and Josh. I did want to hug poor Twitch and I'm glad he didn't go home...but I'm actually glad they sent Will home. He's an amazing dancer, but he came onto the show that way...and he KNOWS he's amazing. I got so sick of his smug face I couldn't even enjoy his chiseled abs!!!

Hehe, thanks fireyelectra. I always enjoy being called awesome .

I am still shocked that Will got sent home!! I honestly thought he was going to WIN the whole competition. I really thought it was going to be Mark & Comfort going home - I couldn't believe that Twitch was in the bottom last night too!! I wonder if Debbie Allen is pissed?? :-\

felicityporter- I thought I was imagining the thing with Will and Courtney, but now I know I wasn't! Thanks for the confirmation.

I personally have not been a fan of Will at all this season, I will give it that he is an outstanding dancer, and I realize that is what this show is about, but I never got past the way the judges over-complimented him all the time. He could do no wrong, and I disagree with that, if they really studied his dances, I felt like at many times he was a weak partner with some of the lifts, and there were other things. I thought it was strange how he was the only one they went to the judges about after the solos too, another reason for me to have issue with him.

I really, really like Mark, but I thought he would probably be going last night, he is so much fun to watch, but not the best dancer. This week (with the exception of Comfort) was going to be hard no matter who went home I think (yes even with my Will issues, I felt bad he had to leave).

I think Katy should win the whole thing, but my feelings won't be hurt with any of the remaining contestants.

Daughtryied and Triased... You crazy Americans
But yes, I love Mark, he was my fave because I love the weirdos but I had mentally prepared myself for him to go home. When he was safe, I didn't know whether to be happy or sad... I really thought Will would be in the finale... though I am not worried about him given that he has a backer like Debbie Allen behind him.

And did anyone else notice that all the comments Nigel made to Katee were VERY SIMILAR (try identical) to the ones he was making in season 3 for Sabra?

I got home just as the people who were going hom were announced. I knew Comfort was going home--again. But the real shock came when I saw who the bottom two guys were. Not who I was expecting. I'm gonna miss Will (and his awesome abs!). I was wondering the same thing Mesawillow. WILL Debbie Allen come back for the end of the season?

A lot of people have said they disliked Will as a reaction to thinking the judges were "pimping" him too hard, but I don't think that's fair. Should Will be punished because the judges praised him too much? It's not like he had any control over their comments. (Ugh I'm still mad). I guess I'm rooting for Twitch, Courtney and Chelsea at this point. Katee really doesn't do it for me. I think she's talented, but her solos are always pretty bad and I don't think she can pull off certain pieces because she come across as too cookie cutter during her performances. (Sort of what the guest judge said this week, about her not representing the raspyness of her character in the broadway dance...if that makes any sense.)

Speaking of awesome abs Megatron... My theory on why Will went home this week? Because he kept his shirt on

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I really like Joshua, and I was very happy he wasn't in the bottom two. He seems like a genuinely nice guy who can take whatever crap is thrown at him. Between the big butt comments from Nigel and the snotty remarks from Chelsea, I thought he handled himself with as much grace off the dance floor this week as he does on it. He's been consistently strong in his performances and able to adapt to all of the different dance styles. He's also been an excellent partner for the ballroom dances, which are all about featuring the ladies. I'd love to see a Joshua/Katee final!

I still can't get into this season.

Dude, what is wrong with America?????? Will was THE BEST MALE dancer on there. He was amazing. I almost cried when I realized it as him and Twitch in the bottom two. I hope Twitch or Katee win.

I was happy he went home... he seems way too into himself

i'm very sad and upset about how it turned out last night. i think that twitch and will were the top guys - and it just shocked me that they were in the bottom 2. hmm...what's america thinking? i guess we'll just have to see how the season shakes out.

I believe my comment on my blog was "Will looked like he just shidoobied in his jazz pants." (I think I may have shidoobied in my yoga pants as well!.)You can always talk trash with me on my blog at www.trashytvtalk.blogspot.com

Trixie

Okay, I've misquoted myself! (Have another glass of wine, Trixie!) Here is what I actually wrote on my blog last night,

"Mark looked like he shidoobied in his jazz pants, Twitch is having a meltdown and Will is going home. WTF???

www.trashytvtalk.blogspot.com

I really thought Will would be in the final two however I was not rooting for him. I am rooting for Chelsie, Twitch or Joshua. I did think that Twitch was a bit dramatical when he found out he was in the bottom two. Was I the only one? And it's about time Comfort is gone. I have disliked her from the beginning and didn't understand the hype.

I think Katee will definitely be final two but with who, I just don't know. IMO, Mark and Courtney will go home next week.

jsleonardeml - I totally agreed. I felt bad for Courtney. They really needed to do it another way.

pinkflats - I agree with you. IMO, he is overrated. He is a great dancer but didn't show personality until the end.

mesawillow - I doubt that she will because maybe, just maybe she may be bitter about Will not winning?

felicityporter - omg, I am glad that I wasn't the only one who noticed. Kick a$$!

Jane D - I like Joshua too. There is this likable quality to him. He is just a big teddy bear.

Bleached - I thought about that too. Notice that Twitch also didn't take his shirt off and it landed him in the bottom. LOL

I was so shocked that Will was in the bottom two it knocked the wind out of me. I was not a fan of his this season, and not soley because of the judges favoritism towards him. My problem was that they kept praising him for things I didn't think he was really executing welllike his strength when clearly Joshua was stronger or his hip hop when he looked so much more stiff than Twitch and even a lot of others who weren't even hip hop dancer. Also he had like the least personality of all the dancers, and, I don't care what anyone says, personality counts a lot in dance. I do think Will is an awesome contemporary dancer and he was very technically skilled as a solo dancer but he didn't seem to care about his partners that much. I wasn't upset he was in the bottom two because I thought his dances on Wednesday night were not all that great. The samba was horrible and the contemporary piece was wonderful but mostly because of Courtney. I am glad Comfort finally went hoem for good because Lord almighty that was a long time coming. Twitch is still my favorite and I reallyhope he wins.Ilike Katee but she can be a little boring and Chelsie annoys me so much with all her tompboy tomboy tomboy talk. We get it you aren't that girly. Plus she has one note dance skills and I'm not entranced by her legs like Nigel seems to be.

I totally think Mark got Jasmined and apparently the state of Hawaii is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to these shows. But I love Mark so I don't mind that he's still around. He tries really ahrd and he's a good dancer and he feels it honestly. As for Joshua, I love him I think he is a strong dancer and a great partner. I thnk that his only faults this week were that he was working with someone he didn't seem to dig being around and that disco routine was all lift and three dance moves on between. Everyone was criticizing the dance but honestly I thought it was miracle that he could still stand up after lifitng Chelsie over his head like a kajillion times. And Courntey is just cute as a button I really wouldn't mind if she and twitch were the top two because I love watching both of them. i think it will be Twicth and Katee though and let's just hope they don't do another super long uncomfortable kiss thing

.....the only saving grace for the garbage that when on this past week is that americans are voting for their "favourite" dancer not the "best" dancer. Cuz' if that were the case, and american voters had an 1/8th of a brain, Will would still be competing and eventually, taking his rightful place as winner.

I was shocked as well about the male that was voted off. I was not a Will fan, but I thought he was a great dancer. I also think he will have a great future. I do not think he was fake or had a bad personality. But even if you did think this, it was not his time to go. If we look at the performances, then Mark should have went home. Well, at least Joshua is still there. Yes, I like Joshua!

I am also happy that Comfort left. She had a great personality, but she did not have any skills outside of Hip Hop. This is a dance competition, not a Hip Hop dance competition.

I can't wait to see what will happen next week and to see who will win it all. I mean if a great dancer like Will can be voted off, then Mark might just win it all. Maybe being quirky is enough, even if he is lacking the skills.

it gotten to the point where i'm in love with all the dancers (bar comfort) so its really hard either way to see them in the bottom. though i was dumbfounded that Will was eliminated. i definitely thought he'd be in the top4, joshua is a crowd favourite so i really thought twitch and mark would be in the bottom and i knew courtney and comfort would be there too (katee and chelsie are just loved so much by the audience) i just prayed that it wouldnt be like last week where we saw comfort safe and a better dancer leaving.

i really think that joshua, katee, chelsea will be in the top4, not too sure about the last male spot though.. i'm hoping its mark..

How did America mess this up? I am Canadian, ...so I have no say here! All I could do was watch helplessly through misty eyes and a heart exploding with emotions as gorgeous Will ("..in every way", quoting Kat) was given the boot ~

I was CERTAIN that the original couple, Will and Katee, would be the last two standing and competing AGAINST each other this season!!!

Twitch's reaction was so dramatic and touching when he found out that he was in the bottom two was because he ASSUMED he was going home FOR SURE when he was down there with WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hence, the overwhelmed reaction... that he was leaving...

I am still in disbelief and will be recovering from the shock indefinitely. Grt first week of voting job Americans !

.. oh, but thanks for FINALLY sending Comfort home- Again.
Comfort was there by some fluke - again - and then Kerington got sent home, while Comfort was voted to stay on the show. Hhmmmmmmmm :/

I mean, second week of voting job, ..whatever it is ~

One more thing, on behalf of Will, I believe his somewhat aloof or detached mannerisms is mis-understood. We do not really know his background or anything about his life, so let's not be so critical / judgemental! He is obviously an EXXXXTRRRREMEEELLLLLLLYYYY talented dancer and cares deeply about his competitors(Friends). Obvious to me.

Excerpt from eye-opening interview with WILL WINGFIELD, for those who do not comprehend him, for real fo'Real ~
( source, http://www.buddytv.com/articles/so-you-think-you-can-dance/exclusive-int... )

Interviewer: Will, look, don’t take this the wrong way, but I really don’t want to be talking to you right now because I thought you were going to win the whole thing.
Will: Well, it’s kind of one of those things, you know. You never know what’s going to happen.

Interviewer: How surprised were you to land in the bottom two last night?
Will: I wasn’t surprised at all, actually. I’m very thankful for everybody who’s still in the competition. I’m very happy that I could see Twitch stay and me go.

Interviewer: Do you feel like you were misunderstood at all?
Will: Absolutely.

Interviewer: What is it about you that you think America didn’t get to see?
Will: 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.

Interviewer: You seem like you got close with the other guys on the show, especially Twitch and Josh. How was the relationship among the dancers for you?
Will: The relationship is so much tighter than anybody would believe.
