SYTYCD: Comfort Returns To Replace An Injured Jessica

Breaking So You Think You Can Dance News! TV Guide has just revealed that SYTYCD cast member Jessica King has been taken out of the competition because of an injury and will be replaced by Comfort Fedoke. Here's the full report:
So You Think You Can Dance-r Jessica is out, and Comfort is back in, Fox announced Monday morning at the TCA press tour. “I would like to say how sorry I am that Jessica cannot continue dancing in the competition at the advice of her doctor," executive producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe said 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."

Lythgoe said that U.S. laws prevented him from elaborating on the exact nature and magnitude of Jessica's injury, but said that Jessica would do so herself on Wednesday night's episode. (Lythgoe also let it slip that Courtney would be paired with Joshua this week.
Um... Did Carolyn and I accidentally use The Secret to take Jessica out of the competition? This wouldn't be the first time... yikes! We'll have to see how things go this week once they dancers get new partners. What do you think about Comfort's return? Will Jessica still get to go on the SYTYCD tour? Will Comfort make it past this initial week back?
