I think you're misunderstood my post, and I can see where it wasn't as clear as it should have been.
I meant their potential was to be like dancers I didn't find interesting in other years.
For example, let's suppose Gavin turns out to be as good as Austin. (They even have similar names!) That gets a :yawn: from me. I didn't mind Austin, but I wouldn't have found it a great loss to miss all his dances.
So the problem wasn't that they wouldn't bring anything radically different or new. That's fine, and I don't expect anything that different in SCD, though some of the choreography and performances have been unusual enough to be interesting because of it.
The problem is that they'd be like people I already knew I didn't find very interesting or very worth watching.
Of course, I could be wrong, and I may change my mind about some of them. If forum comments suggest that a dance I'd skipped was one that might interest me, I may check it out.

I assume he wasn't one of your 4 picks, so I can only conclude from that that you like 2 or 3 people who haven't got a hope of giving you the different show you crave because they're just not good in the genre they danced on Saturday. If you gave those who showed potential in the genre they danced this week a chance to impress in the other genre, then you might find some people who will be around for a long way into the show and may have a chance to surprise you. It's a shame to write anyone off completely at this stage unless technically they were so bad they cannot improve quick enough, which only applies to a couple of this year's contestants, from both nights.”
My writing them off is not because of anything related to the genre, or with being technically bad. (I liked Peter, for example, who was technically bad.)
