Cute shoes!
Tonight is the big night. Well, until the actual finale, but the judges really want us to believe that tonight's eliminations - which will leave us with our Top 10 - are a big deal. I mean, it kind of is, as the Top 10 go on tour, but really it just serves to remind me that I'm not going to see two of my favorites on tour.
Once again, I disagree with the judges, but [evil cackle] it's our show from here on out people! I'm totally voting from now on, because the electoral college is out so our votes actually count for something! Yay democracy!
Plus, tonight's show has a professional tap routine and all the sadness and silliness of a SYTYCD results show. So join me, won't you? Time for SoYouThinkYouCanDance!
The group number tonight is set to "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," so that's going to be stuck in my head for the next week. Everyone's dressed in various military uniforms and the dance is a big swing number which reminds me of that scene in A League of Their Own, but a lot less slutty and gap-toothed. Aw, the kids solute Cat Deeley as she comes out to start the show. Suck-ups.
I would kill to be a judge, because apparently all you do is wear fun party dresses and talk. And gah! Cat! Another bad dress! With the pick of all the party dresses in the land, this is the one you chose:
It looks like the Easter Bunny sneezed all over you.
Why? It looks like it was at one point a lovely, floaty white dress that got caught in some Holi festivities. Cat says that at this point no one wants to go home. As opposed to the other weeks when contestants were really psyched to be getting the boot. And now that we're almost at the Top 10, it's time to start plugging the tour. Suddenly it hits me that the judges continue to pick who is sent home during the Top 20 because they want to make sure no one on the tour is going to be a joke. Like Cedric.
But enough about the jidges, let's find out who's in the bottom. Cat brings out Sabra and Dominic and Anya and Danny. Both of them kicked ass last night, and apparently Dominic was asleep right until show time. Dominic and Sabra did a rocking little Jive, while Anya and Danny performed a classy Foxtrot. And fuck off, AMERICA. Anya and Danny are in the bottom again!
Maybe you should have worn five pairs of sunglasses.
Danny looks piiiiiissed. I mean, it has to suck to get rave reviews from the judges and still be in the bottom. That basically means most of America hates you. Burn.
Back from commercial, Cat is onstage with Jamie and Hok and Sara and Pasha. Jamie and Hok were in a snoozetastic Broadway routine the night before. And yeah, Hok wasn't great in the dance, but hearing him say "I'm Mr. Bojangles" in his British accent just makes me love him like he's a puppy. Named Mr Bojangles.
And speaking of puppies...
Sara and Pasha were in a sick 80's Jazz routine involving suspenders and jazz hands. It was awesome, but Mary wasn't sure they'd keep themselves out of danger. Except the average viewer of this show was young enough in the 80's to look back at that time fondly because how could we know that hairstyle would be so unflattering? We were SIX! Sara and Pasha are safe.
Nigel hems and haws when Cat asks him what he thinks about Jamie and Hok being in the bottom. He's all, really it's Hok's fault, he sucked in the waltz last week and again this week. Nigel still loves Jamie, of course, and asks her to point out her teacher, Denise Wall, who's sitting in the audience. Which means Denise wall has taught at least THREE finalists on this show. Is she paying them for this commercial? Jk, love her, want to learn from her.

Exactly Krank, exactly.
I would so rather see Hok up on stage performing instead of stank Neil.
And Anya was just a shame to see go home... specially over freaking annoying Lauren... GOD i can't stand her!
Sure Anya couldn't solo very well, but she far FAR surpassed everything Lauren has done so far.
I can't wait for tonight's episode to see how they all do with different partners. I don't think there's gonna be any difference in how each individual performs, cept for possibly Dom.
I really hope he does well. If he does, I'll be voting for him.

Stupid judges. I liked Hok, but I see where they're coming from there.
I'm still freakin' irate about Anya. F-ing Lauren. Every single partner dance Anya has done has been amazing. And, I thought this solo was quite good. Any way you slice it, she's been far, far, FAR better than Lauren.
Danny is the most amazing dancer that has ever been on this show. I just can't see why these silly 14 yr old girls who make up the core voting population can't see it. Boo. Anyway, I will vote tonight!

DAMN. I cannot believe Lauren is in the top ten instead of Anya. She did so well in her solo tonight [Anya that is]. Lauren pretty much tumbled around the stage in a stereotypic contemporary fashion. And I lol'd when Neil did his solo to "Harder to Breathe". He would.

There's still something about Danny that rubs me the wrong way, but he is an absolutely AMAZING dancer. A lot of the people on this show are - but there are a few that need to go. Namely...
Lauren - WTF!!!? Anya over LAUREN? OMG!! This is a freaking catastrophe!!!
Kameron - I love Kameron, but he is one of the weaker dancers on the show left. He is pretty good technically, but he always gets outdanced.
Dominic - Again, love Dominic but his technique is not always there. He is a great performer, but when you look at guys like Danny, you can't really compare.
I hope Sabra or Lacey wins. I don't think Danny will, simply because people seem to think so negatively of him, even though perhaps he should. There are others that still stand a good chance -Pasha for example, but I just love Sabra. Pretty sure she's my favorite.

I just have to agree with everyone...i CANNOT believe that they sent Anya home over Lauren. I do have to say that Lauren's solo was better last night, but like everyone else has said on here, Anya is better in everything else that happens on the show. And I really loved her solo-it was fun and upbeat. I would much much much rather see Anya on tour. And I too was looking forward to possibly seeing her dance with Pasha. Thanks for the recap Krank-I always look forward to them!

Seeing as how Lauren's previous solo was to "popozau" it has to be a improvement (I still haven't forgiven her for that)
I can see where the judges are coming from with Hok, although that was still a shock. Neil's solo was basically a tumbling routine and I don't understand why they haven't called him out on that.
Now that Anya's gone, I'm rooting for sarah to win the whole thing. She's pretty awesome.

Enrique was doing a live awards show. The performance on SYTYCD was pre-taped. Hence, no interview and Cat suddenly 'disappearing' from the stage 1 second after introducing him.
