However, the choreography unfortunately does come into play, and she was the unfortunate victim of a lame hip-hop routine. As far as Dominic, I think he's grown as well, but after being bombarded with Danny's pirouettes, Neil's superflips and boy-next-door look, and Pasha's charm, I don't think America could vote any other way. Finally, as an aside, I wish the judges would stop saying things like "America got it wrong." If I ask you what your favorite ice cream is, and you say "Chocolate," I can't say... "Wrong!" In the same sense, Cat keeps saying we're looking for America's FAVORITE dancer, not necessarily the BEST dancer.
