Such a scary situation and I'm glad Jeannie was treated when she was. It's a shame to lose her from the show because she was really great at the performance side. She danced with joy.

She was one of my favs.

This season is so weird. I feel like at this point in the competition, there's usually someone pulling consistent 10s but there have only been a few 10s given out so far and only one perfect score. It doesn't feel as exciting as usual.

I have hated the music choices, too.

yeah, last season was so great talent wise, they were all improving at such a drastic rate in comparison to this mess.

I hope she’s ok. Illnesses suck, especially ones that inhibit your breathing. Not being able to breathe is absolutely terrifying.

Oh no! :( I hope she gets better
