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.

Assistant Features Editor Adrienne Johnson Martin would like to have her life turned into an animated cartoon.
