I can't believe Dominic and Sabra are the two longest shots, seems completely insane to me.

Sabra is talented but her ability to pull votes is very much in doubt. I'd rate her the #3 girl after Lacey and Jaimie.

Dominic looks like dead money. He literally had zero partnering experience before the competition began. I'm impressed by what he has accomplished but expect his lack of experience outside breaking to catch up with him before long.

I don't see how you can say that about Sabra when her and Dominic were not in the bottom last week but a couple praised by the judges were in the bottom three. I feel just the opposite that she has very strong voting support.

The B3 results are heavily influenced by the luck of the draw for style/choreographer. Last week Sabra and Dominic were given a very audience-friendly dance to work with. Neil and Lauren were hidden under costumes that were virtually burlap sacks and given a Mia Michaels choreography so incomprehensible even the judges didn't know what it was supposed to be. They were doomed before they left the dressing room.

Dominic and Sabra are truly opposites. Dominic is charismatic and forces people to notice him but he is a very limited dancer outside his style. Sabra is a very fine dancer but she's quiet and easy to forget about. Maybe they covered each other's weaknesses while they were together, but apart I foresee her being admired onstage and then forgotten at vote time.

This is all relative of course. Sabra is still #3 IMO ahead of Sara and Lauren. Sara is a neat person and she's done an amazing job of stretching her extremely limited experience, but her number must be coming up soon. Lauren has been very lucky and already made it farther than she deserves.

PS: Sabra's pointed complaints about repeatedly being dropped probably inflicted permanent damage on Dominic last week. The accompanying clips of drops during practice were quite memorable and put his skills in a very bad light.

This is exactly right, and illustrates an important concept in SYTYCD wagering.
