So You Think You Can Dance- The Final Four Revealed

I see a little silhouetto of a man, scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango?
We start out the show with a Mia Michaels choreographed group routine. It's steely, cold, incomprehensible and at points ugly. Too bad it sets the tone for this entire show. Some strange stuff tonight y'all.
A Joan Crawford look-alike comes out to introduce the show...Holy Crap! What did they do to Cat??? It's amazing what one bad color choice can do to an attractive woman. Seriously yo, this reminded me of when was shopping with one of my exes and she let the girl behind counter pick out some lipstick for her to sample. She tried it on sans mirror and asked for my opinion. I mouthed "Hell, no" and she saw the mirror and grabbed counter-girl by the collar and said "get this off me , NOW!" Ah good times. So yeah, that's some pretty fucked up lipstick.

We review last night's show. AKA "Everybody Hates Ivan and Natalie." The Jidges are in a festive mood tonight so me thinks their evil plan worked.
So tonight each dancer performs a solo and for no other good reason other than to politic for next weeks show the Jidges will have commentary tonight.

Natalie is up first and she dedicates her solo to someone in the audience: Seriously ,I don't have to fantasize tonight,it's for Allison and she's moved to tears. I guess she had seen her friend raked over the coals last night or she just had a feeling of what was coming. Then we pretty much have a continuation of last night. Nigel pontificates that Musa isn't half the dancer Natalie is, but when he left he took some magic away from her and that he wanted to root for her, but he's lost something every week. Crowd Boos! I Boo! Seriously is this necessary. THERE IS NO VOTING TONIGHT! You know she's going home, this is just mean, yo. Mary says she's got the looks and personality and that she's a good dancer, but gets too theatrical . She loves it though. Mia tells her to stop trying so hard.

Heidi does her solo. Nigel says that she's improved so much that if the show had gone on for another five weeks, she would have a chance to win. What the fuck? This is really unfair. I'm not the biggest Heidi fan but he just cut her legs out from under her. What the hell is going on? Mary says she deserves to be here and to go all the way. Mia states proudly that she is shocked that she is still in the competition. She says that she's not versatile enough. Nigel for some reason gets argumentative even though he basically just said the same thing and points out that Mia choreographed Heidi and it turned out beautiful. Instead of replying "Cos I rock!" She hem haws that Heidi struggles with technical styles style of dance. Nigel puts on his hypocrite face and reminds Mia that we're talking about "favorite" not "most technical". It's Nigel's show dammit only HE can declare someone not good enough to win. Truly bizarre.

Donyelle does her solo to "Buttons" by the Pussycat Dolls. Man, I would give anything to have been the guy to come up with the rhyming couplet of "buttons" and "frontin'" I'd be toolin' around in my magic car with platinum rims daw! Hey look it's Jason!I'll take the sign to mean "back" in the Sir Mix=A-Lotian sense. It's not like sexy went away and Donyelle returned it. Nigel says Donyelle has gotten lost in the Benji partnership and says that she's an inspiration, cause she's ya know, normal sized. Mary says she's got soul piercing eyes. Mia says that Donyelle has leveled off. Mary tries to use D's toe as an excuse. Mia ain't havin' it.

Travis's turn. Nigel says that if it were based on technical skills he would have won already. He says he wish that he had more confidence. Mary says he leveled for a bit and fought back and has blown her away. Mia says he serves it with no apologies and owns the stage. Well, now that wasn;t prepared at all. She also says that she would be content hiring him forever and ever or something like that.

Ivan's is up next. Nigel applauds him for being the only untrained dancer left. I guess those videos of all those Ivan classes online don't count as training. Nigel says that he has grown and hopes he follows the trailer of movie "Step Up" and takes classes just like the hip-hop dancer in the commercial did. Mary reveals Ivan just saw Seabiscuit recently and she hopes Seabiscuit is still going. Mia loved working with him this week and gives a precious "I love you".

Benji parts oceans and glows with the light of a thousand sarcastic suns with his west coast swing solo. Nigel says that if it were on performance skills Benji should win the whole thing. Mary explains her backbone, wishbone, and funny bone. Blah Blah Blah. Mia says she was disappointed with all his limitations as a dancer but says that he's a star and he's special.

Some dude performs.

Okay the first girl announced safe is Heidi. The first guy announced is Travis. So it's the dead pair walking against the Benjelle. Okay there goes the suspense. Natalie is eliminated and lets out and "O-PAH" If this were a 70's sitcom they would have starting breaking plates and shit. Ivan pops and locks after he's eliminated. It's really a cool scene to see Ivan and Natalie's attitude on exiting.

Here's your final four...not the happiest bunch. I guess they've just seen what will happen to two of them next week if they aren't the jidges chosen ones.
