So You Think You Can Dance - Jessica King Injured - Comfort Fedoke Takes Her Place
Published by mj July 14th, 2008 in American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance.

Sorrow! For you Jessica King fans–or for those folks who were just happy that Comfort Fedoke was finally eliminated. I just saw this little item over at Zapt2it.com:

QUOTE

Less than a week after claiming a spot in the “So You Think You Can Dance” Top 10, hoofer Jessica King has exited the competition following an injury.

King will be replaced by Comfort Fedoke, the season’s most recently eliminated female contestant.

“I would like to say how sorry I am that Jessica cannot continue dancing in the competition at the advice of her doctor,” series producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe says in a statement. “Her full recovery is paramount and will only come with rest. We are fortunate that Comfort has agreed to rejoin the competition and know that under the circumstances she has Jessica’s full support.”

Oh my! This is an interesting development. All I'll say is that it will be interesting to finally see Will with a different female partner though I'm not sure Comfort will have any more chemistry with Will than her other partners. We'll see!

Stay tuned!

This is quite something!
I wasn't crazy about either of them, but bummer that Jessica had to leave because of an injury! We'll see what Comfort will be able to do this time around.
I am in love with Will's dancing and other props (ahem, his body, ahem). I wish I was his partner.

Will is amazing! He would never have been in the bottom 3 with a different partner. Not sure he won't have another bottom 3 with Comfort instead of Jessica, but the judges will hopefully save him!

well, Comfort shouldn't be able to jinx Will the way she dragged down poor Thayne - they start picking partners at random this week, along with the dance they'll do...

I bet Will is kinda happy!

I bet all the boys a afraid Comfort will be their partner. Good news is she will probably go home again this week. I think the viewers vote out the boy and girl this week and not the judges. Comfort could really put her partner in jeapordy if this is the case.

I agree. I kind of wish that Jessica had gotten a chance to prove some of the judges comments wrong... even though it was pretty obvious that she'd be going home on Thursday.

Should be interesting from here on. I wonder if that means Comfort will be the next to go home...

Got an update to this:

So You Think You Can Dance - Jessica King is Out with Broken Ribs - Doctor Orders 4 Weeks to Heal

According to folks who attended the So You Think You Can Dance taping for Wednesday night’s performance show, Jessica King explains to the audience that her injury is due to broken ribs. Her doctor says she needs 4 weeks to heal in order to be able to tour with the rest of the Top 10 this fall.

For the spoilery inclined, check out last night's spoiler post. I’ve been updating! Thanks to the spoilers at TWOP for some very detailed information…

Oh by the way, David Archuleta’s version of “Imagine” figures into Wednesday night’s broadcast…

Thanks for the update Pam.
It's smart of her to pull out now so that she would be in top form for the tour. I think she knew she wasn't going to make it very much further.
I wonder how she broke her ribs.

And I can imagine (sorry for the pun) that DA's Imagine is going to be the exit song. Who knows though. Should be cool to hear that.
