Hok Konishi Kicked Off So You Think You Can Dance
Written by: John
I think it is an understatement to say I was upset that Hok was kicked off So You Think You Can Dance tonight. He is truly unique and one of my favorite dancers. The past couple weeks he’s been getting some of the crappier routines. Although he performed them well, I think it’s a travesty that because he got crappy routines he had to pay the price.
I’m also glad that the judges will finally be out of the decision making process so America can finally get rid of Danny.

The whole experience I’ve had so far with SYTYCD.
Wow. I completely share your point of view. Haha! I was really hoping they would throw Danny of the show. But now America can do it herself. Love Hok.
I think DANNY is a GREAT dancer, so i think you are an idiot for making that comment and if you continue watching the show I’m sure you will agree with me
Alicia,
I hope you’re right. Not about me being an idiot, but that I find Danny to be a great dancer as the show goes on. I already think it’s a good thing that Lacey is his partner now.
Last year I didn’t like Travis at the beginning either, but by the time Tranji hit I learned to enjoy him. I don’t think Danny is Travis, but I guess we’ll see.
