Comfort's back in...In case you forgot here, check above...

They keep dropping over at "So You Think You Can Dance." Big news outta the "SYTYCD" sesh this ayem in BH at the BHH (mind if I write all posts from now on in acronymese?) we learn that Jessica King is OUT and Comfort Fedoke is back in; latter was dropped (I think) last week. Judge/uber producer Nigel Lythgoe - oddly and rather insistently - refused to say what Jess's injury was, other than to say that she needs four to five weeks rest. Must be bad because he said about half hour later that dropping out of dance comps is for wusses, and about the worst thing a pro dancer could do ("you wrap it up [the ankle]" and go back on stage. "You can't be a victim," added choreographer pro, Mia Michaels. "You have to be a warrior" - this in reference to Robert Murraine who dropped out in June. "I'm afraid I can't be specific about the injury," said Lythie, tho noted that she will address the whole business on a future show. Meanwhile, we're down to the top ten...and they are...., along with Fedoke, Joshua Allen, Twitch Boss, Courtney Galiano, Chelsie Hightower, Mark Kanemura, Gev Manoukian, Kherington Payne, Katee Shean and Will Wingfield." Lythie's appraisal of Commack's Own Galiano? I'm not sure but it didn't sound like a ringng endorsement from where I sat: "Her technique isn't bad," and she'll be paired with Joshua this week. More news outta "SYTYCD:" That glorious foghorn Mary Murphy revealed that she actually did a test with "EW" - planning, I suppose an investigative piece - that measured the decibel level of her voice. Said she, "it was louder than a vacuum cleaner...and a small jet engine." There was a third thing, which I don't recall - maybe a bull elephant.
