At BuddyTV, Oscar Dahl stands up for Nigel, and predicts the next 2 eliminations:
So, going into next week, who do the judges stand to send home? Contrary to some haters out there, I actually think that Nigel Lythgoe is a reasonable and intelligent man who generally does a fine job. He will have pondered his judging mistakes and will look to right the wrongs of the previous weeks.
That is why I believe that Cedric and Anya Garnis will be the ones sent home next Thursday. Cedric has deserved elimination for the last three weeks and, if and when he's voted into the bottom three, I have complete faith that the judges will not hesitate to eliminate him. Anya, who should have gone home last week, is the default female. Frankly, I don't think she's as good of a dancer as the other ladies in the competition (although I don't want to completely discount her) and her abysmal hip/hop routine last week can't be overlooked.

The New York Times has a story on the current popularity of dance and it's use in advertising, including several videos.
The trend is typified on TV by highly rated series like “Dancing With the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance,” as well as movies like “High School Musical” on the Disney Channel, which is spawning a sequel next month.
In theaters, dance is a central part of films like “Dreamgirls,” “Hairspray,” “Mad Hot Ballroom,” “Shall We Dance,” “Step Up” and “Take the Lead,” among others.

Here's a blogger who has seen the SYTYCD light:
I have to admit that I never gave the show a chance last year... the idea of dance as primetime entertainment didn't really appeal to me. So why the 180? I actually watched it with a live theatre mindset and it really plays that way. I don't know if the talent last season was as good, but these folks can cut a freakin' rug!
