I love the crumper and that he is also trained in other styles!! I am excited to see if the makes the show. However I think Tyce is moody, inconsistent and annoying, but that is me.

That guy was not only the best crumper I think I've seen, but the fact that he's trained in many other styles bodes well -- I hope he can carry it all the way.

I really liked the crumper as well. I also thought Tyce was a complete asshole-- especially with the hip-hop guy who came back after two years who he gave all sorts of crap for not dancing contemporary. WTF? Hip-hop is his style! Vegas is where people show how flexible they are, style-wise, not in the audition. And did anyone else not see what made them send the guy in the plaid pants straight to Vegas? I thought he moved well, but technically did absolutely nothing. I really expected him to be sent to choreography.

Don't get why the plaid guy went thru either. The hip hop guy was kind of mediocre.
- Amber, Random Time Lord
I agree Shannon. and it was very inconsistent and hypocritical. He didn't give the break dancer or the crumper any lip for not showing the other styles they were trained in. It was just that the poor hip hopper came at the end of one of his sugar lows (guessing) where he was getting on everyone's case for anything and so he got on his case too. It was stupid! The crumper studied ballet, tap, contemporary, etc... but he choose crump as his solo and he was awesome! Now he has to prove he can do the rest. That is how their audition system works.

I thought the plaid guy was good, but I expected him to go to choreography.
- Rachel Lea Fox
Agreed. The plaid guy was alright, but didn't seem to have strong training, just a really interesting solo. The hip hop guy was decent, but Tyce just went nuts on him for no good reason. I think that's why Nigel stared Tyce down and said that he should at least go to choreo. Personally, I think the ice cream girl didn't even need to go to choreo, but I'm happy she still made it to Vegas.

Re: plaid guy, I think I've noticed a trend where the first dancer is either awful or gets sent to Vegas. I'm guessing they want to start the show with either a happy story or something horrific, which may help keep casual channel-flipping viewers watching the show. Since plaid guy wasn't terrible (maybe the Assistant Producer who pulled him out of the line for interviews and to go first guessed he'd totally suck?) so he got a Vegas ticket. I bet he'll get cut there.
- Paul Wilcox
Tyce seems to think that being an asshole is the way to seem more important. He's a pretty shallow, self-important person.
- Kevin Fox
I <3 you guys. Tyce is rude, annoying and self-absorbed. As for the krumper, I think he's one of my favorite dancers. I always love an underdog with no training but obvious natural talent. Just like Joshua from a couple seasons ago.
