Guest blogger Lenni G. wraps up another season:

Yes child, Debbie Allen, THE DEBBIE ALLEN, picked the Sean Cheeseman "Frog Dance" done by our home girl, Sanford's Noelle Marsh, dancing with Russell, as one of the best routines of the season.

And Lil C selected Tyce Diorio's group contemporary number, which included our other homey Ariana DeBose, who lives in Wake Forest, as one of his favs.

The day after Sanford's Noelle Marsh was eliminated from "So You Think You Can Dance" was a busy one.

The highlight: taping the "Ellen" show (it airs Monday on NBC 17 at 3 p.m.) where she and Nathan improv'ed together.

"It was awesome, I was so excited," Noelle says of the experience. "I
was freaking out."

She even got to jam a little with Ellen DeGeneres at the end of the show.

As you can tell, Noelle is OK with her elimination.

Disappointed but OK.

Guest blogger Lenni G. shares the bad news:

Oh NOelle, oh NOelle. Woke up this morning hoping I had just had a bad dream, but not so. Our local gal, Noelle Marsh, really was on the Bye Bye Train heading back to North Carolina. She has been one courageous performer, considering she was injured to some degree from the beginning of the Top 20 competition. I loved her partnering with Russell, the highlight for me being the African Jazz number they did in round three. I'm sending you big, warm and fuzzy hugs and look forward to seeing you on the SYTYCD tour.

And, as I had guessed yesterday, "Angst Boy", Nathan, got his ticket for the BBT. Hate to agree with Nigel, but Nathan did not grow as the other dancers have over the season. Also feel he more of a soloist than a good partner which just won't work for this competition.

So, next week it's the Top 8 and what a strong group we have to entertain us, albeit without our homey, Noelle.

Guest blogger Lenni G. fills us in before the voting:

We have our Top 10 and we had a night of 20, yes, 20 dances! There were two dances from each of the five couples and solos from each of the Top 10 contestants.

Sanford cutie Noelle Marsh and her new partner, Ryan, started out the night with a really good Hip Hop from "NappyTabs." Noelle was just fabulous, even getting a "sexy" comment from Nigel. Think this partnership works and also feel that Noelle totally outdanced Ryan.

Guest blogger Lenni G took a Thanksgiving break. Here's the short version of last week's show. In case you didn't know Sanford's Noelle Marsh is in the top ten.

Top 6 couples did two dances this week and gave the audience and the judges a really great show.

Guest blogger Lenni G. wraps up the week:

The show opened with a terrific group dance choreographed by Wade and Amanda Robson. And the music (Imogen Heap doing AHA!) was a perfect match for the routine. Nice Wade and Amanda, really nice.

Our guest blogger Lenni G. gives her take on last night's show:

Finally, a happy, almost totally positive, night of dance with host Cat Deeley channeling her inner "Balloon Girl" in dazzling and crinkled aluminum foil.

And our Sanford gal Noelle Marsh had another good night!

New Adventures of Old Christine (8pm, CBS) - Jennifer Grey guest stars to date Richard, who is played by Clark Gregg and who is Grey's husband in real life. Confused? Dave Foley is back as Richard's friend who keeps trying to date Christine.

Glee (9pm, Fox) - Shuster divides the glee club into couples for a ballad, which is great till someone gets sick. Another bad idea: Finn has dinner with Quinn's parents. 

Law & Order: SVU (9pm, NBC) - DNA evidence identifies Benson (Mariska Hargitay) as the prime suspect in the murder of a biker gang dude. While Munch and Finn investigate the case, Stabler (Chris Meloni) works to prove her innocence. 

Top Chef (10pm, Bravo) - The remaining chefs take part in an extremely difficult cooking contest established by French chef Paul Bocuse. Bocuse's son Jerome, who is also a chef, serves as a guest judge along with Thomas Keller. A lot of other famous chefs also appear. Whatever -- we just want to see if this is the night Jen has her breakdown and what kind of assy thing Mike Volt says about our Kevin. 

Also worth mentioning: Robin Roberts interviews Janet Jackson tonight at 10pm on ABC, Noelle Marsh of Sanford continues to shine on So You Think You Can Dance (8pm, Fox) and Modern Family (9pm, ABC) is always funny. 

It was a good week for Sanford's Noelle Marsh.

The "So You Think You Can Dance" contestant won raves for her Afro-jazz number, and sailed through to the next round.

It was a nice change from her shaky start.

It began with an injury that almost put her out of the competition and then a hip-hop number that the judges very much disliked.

Guest blogger Lenni G.cuts through the negativity and makes last name amends:

Welcome to the SYTYCD Results Show starring "Nigel the Almighty." And I mean "Almighty" in the worst possible sense of the word. Asked for his opinion on how America voting might change the competition, his reply was, "Some people might stay who should go."

And on that negative note, the evening proceeded with a veritable barrage of sniping, bitter and totally unnecessary comments from the man who would be the "Monarch of Dance."
