I think they should have had a top 20 dancers from the start and still eliminated one b/g per week, but then they could have brought in the all-star dancers when they got down to the final 10 or something.
But since that's not the way it is, my understanding is that they're only going to eliminate a single Top 10 dancer each week and that the all-star dancers are there simply to be dance partners and perhaps they only reason they'll be "eliminated" is if their partner is?? I definitely can't see them having the all star dancers as part of the actual competition because that would totally be unfair to the new season participants.
And not that I don't think Billy Bell isn't a good dancer, but I agree with a lot of the rest of you that they shouldn't have chosen him over Anthony. And please don't think I'm being insensitive when I say this, but does anyone else think it might be because of whatever "illness" they mentioned as the reason he couldn't continue through last season?? I mean, he's clearly talented and everything but say it was something terminal that he had do you think the producers would have chosen him since anyone else would have the chance to come back and he wouldn't? I'm really just throwing random things out there, but when they said that in commentary it just got me thinking.
