[> Subject: It's worth noting that this panel doesn't have any dance expertise. Their talent background is vocal and instrumental, so maybe all the dancers are at a bit of a disadvantage.

[> [> Subject: Also, there were 4 contestants who everyone said were contenders for the Talent Award including CA and NH. Dont read to much into Preliminary wins. Look at 2005 when Dustin Leigh won Talent and did not make the cut. Also in 2010 Arianna did not win a Talent Award and the contestant that won did not make the cut either, but Arianna did.
