So You Think You Can Dance-The Top 10 Results Show

Aight suckas, after that marathon show last night with TWENTY performances I think tonight we're going to ease into it a little tonight. Some notes and rumors first. I'm still kicking myself for not including a "Now that's how he rolls" line during Ivan's solo on heelies. I swear I use that line at least five times out loud a day and twenty more a day in my head and I dropped the ball. Word on the street is that Natalie was injured during last nights performance and it may be serious.

Okay, time for the group number...and it looks like they've raided Adam Ant's closet ...and they have makeup on that makes them look like zombies. Okay the guys come down the staircase 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

Now the girls come down staircase and Natalie isn't one of them.


The dance is like that Backstreet Boys' video where they are all monsters, crossed with Prince's 1999 and Thriller. It also reminds me of the Mr. Show sketch where a College Professor describes what would happen if a bunch of monsters actually gathered together. "They wouldn't have a party...they would have a gruesome battle." He's wrong, the zombies have a pretty mean hoedown.

Of course, I would have ended it with them all spilling into the audience feeding on teenage brain, but that's just me. After the zombie jam it turns out Wade Robson choreographed that piece. I only know him as the guy who called bullshit on a tie and helped force Wade's Crew and the Li'l Saints to battle at the end of "You Got Served"

Cat looks like she's spent way too much time under a tanning bed as she's looking like a rare steak tonight. We talk to the jidges who don't have to go out on the cheezy ass steps tonight. Nigel trumpets SYTYCD finishing #1 in the ratings over all the other reality shows last night.

We do the recap of last night interspersed with new behind the scenes footage again. Nothing too noteworthy except that they really show that the judges really had it in for Martha, Ryan, Dmitry, and Ivan.

They start by bringing the female dancers out one at a time. and instead of Cat simply saying that they are safe or not safe she incorporates a positive or negative phrase from the judges recap to indicate if someone is safe. It's really fucking annoying. It detaches Cat from the dancers, robbing her of her only strength as a host. Take that away and she's just a bird who wears fucked up dresses every other week.

Donyelle is up first and as if Benjelle isn't solidified enough you can see Benji standing up to cheer Donyelle on as she goes up for her result. Knock it off you two! Ameriker voted Donyelle "Hot" so she is safe. Martha is next. She is reminded that Nigel predicted the loser pit for her. Ameriker voted and "Nigel was right". No real surprise there. Allison is next. Ameriker voted and "she can keep smiling". Yay! Um...I mean Natalie and Heidi come up together and one of them has to go tot the loser pit.


Cat tells Natalie that last night "They didn't love you". Heidi is safe. Kind of a mild surprise there. Natalie has a wrap on below her knee so that's something. I really don;t understand this result...could it be that she had the nerve to be paired with Benji and is getting Benjelle backlash?

They show a shot of the guys before the break...kind of a telling look on Ryan's face.

The guys go up and Ryan is first. Ameriker voted and to no one's surprise he's in the bottom two. Okay that must mean the next two are safe. Travis? Safe. Benji? Call him Ft. Knox yo, he's safe. So we're left with Ivan and Dmitry. To my surprise Ivan is safe and Dmitry is in the loser pit. Wow, the torso couldn't save him. Looks like the voting really does skew younger for this show. They show a shot of Allison who covers her mouth but is beaming because Ivan is safe. Take that Benjelle!

All four of them do their solos from last night again.

Martha dances without the green hat and looks great. If she only had a time machine...

Ryan shows us his taint for perhaps the last time.

Natalie does her solo with the wrap. In all seriousness that shows a lot of guts. I'm impressed.

Dmitry does his BEP solo and decides to keep his shirt on. Apparently he only takes his shirt off when it counts.


Some dude sings and dances.

We come back and Cat's all ready to read the results for the women. No surprises here, it's Martha who's going home.

They give her a really nice sendoff and let her dance her solo for the third time in 24 hours. She plays around with it a bit and looks so relaxed and at ease. She does a her trademark shoulder wiggle. It's really a shame that the energy and spark that was deemed lacking, all came back now.


Now the guys...Holy crap it's Dmitry!!!

Kinda of a shocker there. i really didn't expect that. See what happens when you interfere with the Benjelle? In a cool display of closeness the remaining dancers all give Dmitry wolf whistles and basically yell for him to strip and dance for them. I think I saw Travis throw him a $20.


That's all for SYTYCD this week...wait, did I hear them say tour????
