“So You Think You Can Dance” Jessica King: Drops Out
So You Think You Can Dance top 10 contestant Jessica King was forced to drop out of the competition because of an unnamed injury today and Comfort Fedoke who was eliminated on July 10 will return to the show.
“I would like to say how sorry I am that Jessica cannot continue dancing in the competition at the advice of her doctor,” producer Nigel Lythgoe said in a statement released by FOX. “Her full recovery is paramount and will only come with rest.”
“We will say [what happened] on the show this week,” he said. “Her doctor says she needs between four to five weeks to rest.”
Comfort is supposedly saddened by the circumstances but is glad to be back on the show.
I’m not a huge Comfort fan but putting a random person in her place, someone like me, would probably not go over well.
I am sure that behind Jessica’s exit is something more than injury…if there IS an injury. Am I the only one that noticed how convenient the changes were for Will? He was paired with Katee….of course…and what a coincidence….their second dance was ballet (sorry I don’t know the proper name for it)…no other couple “happened” to pick it but the pair the judges love and probably the only couple that could pull that dance off…heck no probably about it. Please don’t get me wrong everybody can see that Will and Katee are really good dancers…maybe even the best this season but the judges attitude just makes me want them off the competition. Mia’s comment last week that Will carries Jessica was the rudest thing ever. I think she owes a public apology to Jessica for that.
