So You Think You Can... Be Cursed?

Katie D
Bad luck? Curse? Whatever it is, SYTYCD's contestants really need to watch their step! This year 3 of the top 20 have had problems, 2 missed the first week - and one of them isn't coming back!

Noelle Marsh
While practicing for her Fox Trot with Russell Ferguson, Noelle injured her knee. The last word was they were taking her in for an MRI to evaluate damage and figure out where to go from there. She was safe for last week, but if she can't compete this week, she'll be out - replaced by Ariana Debose.

Billy Bell
This phenom had to drop out before the first week due to severe illness - aka mononucleosis. The doctors wouldn't allow him to continue due to his health problems. He probably would have been in the top 4 at least, had he been able to participate. Brandon Dumlao replaced Billy in the competition.
Also, if you remember Vegas week, Billy was also elbowed in the face and injured before a Latin Ballroom audition. It was not his year for luck, apparently.

Pauline Marta
Pauline hurt her ankle during Vegas week - a severe sprain. They showed the footage of her sprain again and again - absolutely disgusting injury. Her ankle flipped over, sending her foot teetering on the far edge. It promptlyl swelled up to the size of a tennis ball, and she went to the ER. Surprisingly, the judges included her in the top 20 even without her competing in the audition phase. She was fine to compete in the first round, but was out for a few days with restrictions to keep weight off of it.
