1. Terrence is the best choreographer. He is more creative than the other 2, and gives plusses and minuses on all the performances always.

2. Remo has obviously played "Games". He nominates his strongest contestant so they will come back. He nominated Bhavana twice in a row, because he knows Rakhi & Khusboo (clearly) performed worse, and he just wants the team to stay together.

He would've nominated Salman yesterday, but since Salman was number one, there was no way he could and still play it off. (I'll get more to Prince later)


Not saying this is a bad strategy though 😆

3. I don't really like Gita. She is trying too hard to keep her group alive at this point. Always trying to diss whoever she thinks will be closest to getting out (Prince, or anyone on Remo's group), and just says her dancer was perfect.

Like yesterday when Remo said Sudesh wasn't that good, she said he was beyond perfect to make up for it. Please come on.


4. The best eliminated contestants are easily, Prince & Sunita.


Both should still be in. Prince, I thought was a Top 3 dancer in the show. Sure he does one style, but just judging by performance and not selection, he is brilliant.

I blame Mithun for his elimation yesterday. On the 1st episode this week, Mithunda supported Remo & Prince, in doing the same dance very well, and said you should stick to strengths.
But yesterday, he eliminted them because they do the same dance and not something new. 😕

The only reason Remo & Prince, changed from their contemporary style to pop&lock was because of Mithunda's comments on sticking to strengths, but then Mitunda changed his mind and said thats not right? Unfair



As for Sunita, I think her, Bhavna, and Alisha are the top 3 girls in the show. Unfortunately they were in the bottom 3 so one had to be picked. The thing is though, them 3 should have never been in bottom 3 in the first place. But thanks to Remo (For nominating his best NOT his worst 😡), and Gita (Same here, but hers is more justifiyable), Sunita is gone. If Remo nominated Rakhi or Khusbo, I guarantee they would've been out and not Sunita.

Sad though.



5. Rakhi and Khusboo are overall hte weakest contestants left right now and should be out, I'd take Prince & Sunita over them anyday. And right now overall the boys are easily better than the girls

I agree with you on everything except the #5. Khushboo is not weak. Rakhee is.

Terence is clearly the best judge and choreographer. He points out the positives and the negatives.

Remo is a huge cheat. Because of him, Prince got out.

And yes, Geeta knew that Siddesh was the only guy in her group and so she said that Prince was only doing one type of dance in the show just to save Siddesh.

And Prince, yea he should still be in. Mithun da said to play on your strenghts and then today he changes his decision and eliminates him. Prince is a great dancer and deserves to be in the Top 12. He should be back through the wild card though.

From the elimination episode, Siddesh was much weaker than Prince and that was clear. I wouldn't even call what Siddesh did 'dancing'. I would like to see Siddesh try and do what Prince did that night. He couldn't.

Well I would say Rakhi is weaker than Khusboo too, but after Rakhi I think Khusboo is the weakest, it could also be Vrusali too.

But yes on everything else.

It's not Remo's fault really that Prince got out. He had to nominate Prince (Salman was #1).
It was Mithunda's fault like you said. He encouraged Remo & Prince, to play with the strengths and do the same thing again, and then changed his mind on them and eliminated them. Totally unfair. If Mithunda didn't want them to do the same thing again, then why did he encourage them? It seemed they had another dance ready, but thanks to Mithunda's encouragement they did the Pop&Lock again.

Though Remo (And Gita a little too) is to blame for Sunita's loss. They put Mithunda in a tough sitation, by nominating their best (and not worst contestants), which is sad I guess. If Remo had nominated Rakhi or something, everything would've been okay.

And Prince actually had the best performance yesterday, hands down. There was not ONE negative comment on his performance, sure they questioned his selection, but his performance was better than Jay's and Siddesh's. While everyone, including Jay, got dissed at least a little on their performance, Prince was flawless and performed brilliantly No doubt about that. I guess Mithunda didn't want to eliminate Gita's group altogether, so he didn't pick Siddesh.

But there was no doubt Prince had the best performance yesterday, once again, Mithunda fault Pirnce got out. He needs to make up his mind, and pick hte best performance and not who should be out logically following.

well I would like to see Prince do what Siddesh has done to this point. I'd like to see Prince pull of two performances in one night.
I would like to see Prince do what Salman has done, I would like to see Prince do what Mayuresh, Mangesh, Jigar, Paulson and Jai have done. I'll admit Prince is great at locking and popping and that's what he's known for but he should have shown other styles. That may not be his fault because Remo should have shown Prince's versatility. I do think Prince deserves a chance to show all the other styles he can do but when it came down to Siddesh, Jai and Prince, I'm not sad to see Prince go because both Siddesh and Jai have proved themselves.

Prince's performance was really great yesterday but it's been seen before.
I do feel for Prince because his coreographer cost him a chance at being the winner. Remo's plan may have worked til this point but his contestants are paying the price for his games.

I don't see how "Remo's games" cost Prince? Remo's games were nominating his strongest contestant when he should've nominated his weakest. Yesterday Remo had no choice but to nominate Prince since Salman was selected #1.

Also, remember, Remo only made Prince do the same thing again on the 2nd episode, because Mithunda encouraged Remo&Prince to use their strengths and continue doing what they are doing. They had a "different" style of dance ready, but because of Mithunda's comments, they did the same thing again. Prince said they were going to do contemporary, but Remo said no, because of what Mithunda had said.

And then of course Mithunda changes his mind and says they should've tried something else. 😡

So it's not really to blame on Remo at all. And he already had said next week they would do something different and show everyone. Too bad that time never came. So you could see Remo was trying his best to save Prince.


All I'm saying is Prince had the best performance yesterday, and that is consistent with the comments of the choreographers overall. Not one dissed Prince's performance (not selection but performance), while Jay, and especially Siddesh were criticized.

Okay, you have good points. Let restate something, this time Remo didn't have a choice but to nominate Prince because Salman was selected to be the best, however I still feel Remo cost Prince.

I think Remo should stop playing politics and work on making his dancers even stronger. We now know they all have a strong dance style, Salman's salsa, Kushboo's hip-y dances, bhavna's enegery (I want Rakhee to go quickly) but now Remo should make his dancers verstaile. Being very good at one style and being not so good at other styles isn't going to cut it anymore. All the guys that are left are really good and they've taken really big chances with different dance forms. I think Remo should learn from Terence and train his contestants for the sake of dance, not for winning a title.
Yesterday I feel both Jai and Siddesh took big risks. Jai could have injured himself (like he did before) and Siddesh's dance was completely different than anything that's been on the show. Remo has Salman left and he needs to make sure Salman can compete with the guys that are left.

I do like Prince, he was amazing but I feel he didn't get a chance to show his versatility. I hope Prince has many more opprotunites later on, I hope Dance India Dance was great exposure for him and his amazing talent. Besides Prince is really young too, I'm sure he'll go far.

Yes sure I would agree with most of that.

But this debate between versatilty vs. strengths seems like it comes every show. 😆
I remember, in Saregamapa, Himesh used to back Mussarat, saying he should do what he is good at, while like Vishal says he should be veratile. It got very steamy at one point.

The point is it's just a different philosophy that continues to be debated about. I guess Remo supports the strengths argument, while others support the versatilty argument.

Though Remo was going to do something different with Prince next week as the "challenge", so he was definately going to give it a shot. Unfortunately that next week never will arrive for Prince. 🤢
But you could see Remo was going to go on that versatile path.



Nonetheless, I guess you are right Remo deserves some blame for Prince getting out because he didn't make him do versatile dances. But at the same time, Mithunda should take more blame. When Gita first brought it up 2 episodes ago, Strengths vs. Versatility, Mithunda supported Remo in that he should make him do his strengths. But then thats the same reason he took him out. 😡

I can't blame Remo directly for Prince getitng out. Remo did what Mithunda wanted, Prince performed better than anyone else yesterday, but still didn't work because Mithunda changed his mind.


To summarize, Remo shoiuld've made them do more versatile dances, however he was going to give an honest effort at that, and Mithunda was the biggest cause of Prince getting eliminated.

I agree with point one...I guess it's cause he's experienced more forms of dance outside of India

I also agree with point two =]...but its unfair for those who were out from the other teams

I don't agree with point three actually...I was absolutely fine with what Geeta said...for one the only time you should be playing up on your strengths is when you are one of the eliminees...even then choreographers should not be involved...it's unfair to contestants if they get out on something that wasn't done by them...if they at least dance something that they made all by themself it can be said that they did their best and didn't measure up and we'd also wouldn't have to play the blame game...anyways on the Friday night dances you should be showing versatility and when you're on the chopping block...that is when you show everyone what your style is and how good you are at it

For point 4....I don't like Prince...he seems like a one trick pony though that's not his fault at all (Remo had three weeks to show that he can do other stuff)...plus he comes off a bit too cocky...the dude is only 16...so he does has a long way to go...and just cause he can pop and lock doesn't mean that he's the best dancer on the show (after all the show is called Dance India Dance not Pop & Lock India Pop & Lock)...the other guys are better and more versatile...as for Sunita...I prefer Mandakini more than her...Mandakini has the potential to do AMAZING things...it's too bad that she didn't get to show it...and Mithun is unnecessary lol...but I guess they need someone to iron out all the arguments that'll happen between judges...they should have had another grand master...someone that knows of all the styles of dance and can point out what went wrong and all (So You Think You Can Dance judges anyone??)...but I have to say...in a show like this you need to show your versatility...otherwise they should make an India's Got Talent and have them dance there....I also don't think Bhavna is one of the top three girls...she doesn't impress...Khushboo is better but she has her good and bad days...like last Friday (she should've got the best dancer thing...she outperformed Salman in this one)...Alisha is of top 3 calibre...so no qualms there

With point five...as mean as it is...Rakhi is one of the weaker dancers...oh and I pray that she doesn't go through these forums T___T...she has a great personality...but she is a diamond in the rough I'll give her that...she needs training...and all her effort in keeping up with these trained dancers is really commendable...she may not be my favourite dancer but she is one of the most likeable contestant (please speak in English one day...I wanna hear the British accent!!!)...yes the boys are better than the girls...and I predict Salman will win (though I don't think he deserves it) for...obvious reasons

I'd also like to add that it's great that Remo supports Prince...however it was unfair for those who danced with him for these three weeks cause all Remo did was popping and locking...and those who don't know it will get shot down...however, I still don't like Remo and I hope that Terrence's team wipes the floor with his team :D

Good Post

1. I wasn't necessarily talking about Geeta's comments on Prince, but just the fact like she always praises her contestants like they are sooooo great. As I gave an example, when Remo says Suddesh was bad, she said, he was way beyond any of her expectations and was amazing, and so on. She just clearly did not want him to get eliminted and tried to override what Remo said. WEAK

2. Once again on Prince

Mithunda encoured Remo&Prince to do what they do the best. On the Friday episode, when Remo and Gita were arguing on if Prince should do what his strengths are or do something different, Mithunda came and supported Remo and said Prince should do what he is good at.

Then the next episode, he says Prince should take risks, and eliminated him. 😕

Prince even said they had a contemporary dance planned out, but they went back Pop&Lock. Why? Remo said because thats what Mithunda says he prefers, doing your strengths. Otherwise, he would've made Prince do something else. And he was going to make Prince do something else next week as well for the "challenge"

So yeah you can blame Remo a little, but Mithuanda deserves more blame. Prince/Remo did what Mithunda encouarged them to do, Prince had the best performance yesterday (not selection), according to me and the choreographers comments, yet he got elminated.


The sad part is, we'll never know if Prince can do other things too, the "next week" never came for him
