So You Think You Can Dance - The Top 20 results show


...and we're BACK!!! SYTYCD get s the Idol treatment with two nights a week so we don't have to wait a week to eliminate someone this season. The audience voted and the bottom three pairs will each have to to a 30 second solo before the JUDGES decide the elimination. Hmmm this sounds like a bad combo already. I really don't like the idea of the judges picking the one who is eliminated. It gives them WAAAY too much control over the outcome of the show. Having the judges take off who they want defeats the purpose of voting at all. This could be a show killer...but eight more will pop up in it's place anyway so let's enjoy the ride shall we?

We have the recap of the performances. To be honest I voted for four couples 1) Benji and Donyelle, because they are my favorite personality-wise 2) The Fosse pair, because they kicked ass 3) The Waltz couple, because Heidi is too good to be eliminated now and 4) The Flashdance couple...because somebody had to.

The couples are brought up in twos by similar dance style. Up first are the hip-hop dancers, Benji and Donyelle, Dimitry and Joy.


Cat gives each couple of recap of the judges comments, then we begin the most annoying reveal I've ever experienced in reality TV. I'll simulate it once and that's it. Benji and Donyelle the judges thought... blah blah blah...Ameri-cur has been voting and you are...
pause
pause
scratch myself
pause
pause
go potty (#1)
pause
pause
answer the doorbell
pay the pizza girl
pause
pause

Safe!!

Now multiply that by ten and tell me you don't want to punch Cat Deeley right in the babymaker!!!!

Anyway, surprisingly, stiff and smiley, Dimitry and Joy are safe! Bolshevik eep op is the new clownin yo!

Next we have the ballroom couples. Ryan and Heidi and Stanislav and Erin.

Now this is where the audience voting for the bottom three is going to really fuck things up for everyone. Couple who have to dance a waltz or the bullfighter dance are really at a handicap if left to the audience to save them. I would assume that the majority of people who watch this show are in the 18-34. They majority are going to react stronger to more mainstream, contemporary dance styles. Surprisingly Ryan and Heidi, the waltz couple are safe, while Stan and Erin are deemed "not safe" and each will have to dance their solos, which really screws a ballroom guy like Stan.


Contemporary dancers...both couples safe. I was a bit surprised that Jason and Aleksandra made it...but they did dance contemporary to a recent pop hit.

Next we have Ivan and Allison and Musa and Natalie...

One of these couples is "safe" the other is "not safe". If you can't guess which one...

Okay, the last pair of couples. The disco dancers. The 80's routine with Ashley and Ben and the 70's routine with Jaymz and Jessica.

If you recall Ashley and Ben were terrible and as of last night they knew they would be in the bottom three. Jaymz and Jessica were actually decent. One of these couples is "safe" the other is "not safe". If you can't guess which one...
Holy fucking shit!!!! Ben and Ashley are safe...they can't believe it either!!! This is the opposite of Chris Daughtry. Holy fucking shit, America...wait I voted for them too...holy fucking shit, ME!!! Seriously they look like they think they've been Punk'd.

Jessica is nearly in tears...maybe it was because she was so confident she wore her white shorts from the opening act underneath her elegant green dress and has to dance in them now. Maybe it's just the shock, but either way she looks like she's about to lose her shit.

Okay so the bottom three guys are Ivan, Jaymz, and Stan. Ivan's weakness is that he let his partner down and is a one dimensional hip-hopper, Jaymz was the cruel victim of relity show irony (I don't think the name helps either) and Stan...well he looks like the bastard child of Conan O'Brien, Christopher Walken and Clay Aiken.


The bottom three girls are, Allison, Erin, and Jessica. All of them are cute, all of them kick ass. None of them deserve to go.


Now here's the shitty part. Nigel explains that the Judge's elimination will not be based on the solo but rather their performances in the auditions as a whole. Which means basically screw you America we're picking who we want and we're not getting stuck with a winner that we don't approve of. This is apparently the "Taylor Hicks" rule.

See ya Clay O'Walken


See ya cute partner of Clay O' Walken



On behalf of everyone who votes like I do...whoops?

Next week: The teams should be unaffected!

P.S. If you think I'm going to plug that Permiscuous song...oh yeah what the hell happened to Timbaland's partner, Magoo? What the fuck was Nelly Furtado wearing? I would have bet the farm she would have been wearing low cut jeans sans underwear.
