- This comedy follows Jay and Ash, two action-hero-obsessed direction-less young men, as they confront their friend's mysterious murder by attempting to solve his case in their excessive free time. Every lead takes the boys on a slightly more ridiculous misadventure which brings up more questions about their own lives than it does answers about their friend's death.
- For the third consecutive week, we knew one of the bottom three on Thursday nights So You Think You Can Dance results before it even started. Because he didnt perform due to injury on Wednesday, Billy Bell was automatically in the bottom. All-stars combined with the top five for the opening number, a smooth jazz piece choreographed by Kelley Abbey. The panel of judges, including guest judge Kenny Ortega, were back. There was a brief tribute to Denise Jefferson, director at the Alvin Ailey School, who died this week. To the results: Host Cat Deeley got right to the action, calling all five finalists to the stage. Lauren was the first to hear the news -- or read -- that she was safe. (Rather than announce the verdict, Cat showed her the result on her cue card). Next was Kent, who was also safe. That left Adechike, Robert and Jose waiting to see which one of them was safe. Be our guest: Before getting any further into the results, Cat introduced a pair of dancers from the American Ballet Theatre, who performed a piece from Don Quixote. Later, Cat brought DJ Smart, a Season 7 Top 24 hopeful, to the stage. There was more talk about National Dance Day, including footage of people who sent in videos of themselves performing the hip-hop routine choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon. This weeks look back to the all-stars beginnings on the show focused on Lauren and Neil from Season 3, who returned to the stage to perform the Wade Robson routine they did that year. The final guest performance of the night came from Enrique Iglesias, who performed his song, I Like It, with Pitbull. Back to the results: The three guys remaining finally learned after another commercial break that Adechike was the one of them who was safe. That left Robert and Jose in the bottom three with Billy. After the solos, Nigel said the judges hadnt made up their minds, but had come to a conclusion. He asked Robert to step forward, and told him that a couple of the judges dont feel as if youre growing now. He next told Jose that hes also stopped growing, but, at the same time, he really was growing in his own area, but he needs to grow in other areas. He then told Billy that he set a precedent by taking the decision that he didnt want to dance even though the doctors had cleared him. Nigel then announced that the judges had come to the conclusion that none of them would go home this week, but two people would go home next week.

- The most drastic final cut in "So You Think You Can Dance" history came together Tuesday night as Las Vegas Week culminated in the final 10 dancers First, though, Vegas Week continued with a Broadway theme and Ida -- who'd impressed the judges immensely in her audition, but faced some sharp criticism in Vegas -- was thinking about dropping out of the competition. In the first round of dancers, Adrian and Lauren wowed the judges with their fun take on the routine. Several other dancers seemed to impress the panel, but Ida went up to the stage alone to tell the judges she was withdrawing. Nigel didn't take the news well and said she only wanted to bow out because she was having trouble taking criticism. She insisted that wasn't the case, but Nigel said he'd never believe that. After Broadway, 47 dancers were still in the competition and they were asked to pick a CD at random in groups. Each group had to choreograph a routine to the music and perform it the following morning. The first group of dancers amazed the judges and Nigel said each of the five of them were on his "favorite" list. The second group wasn't so fortunate as they stayed up all night bickering. Tapper Melinda was in the group and was the only dancer who really stood out. Somehow, they all still made it through. Some 34 dancers were celebrating making it through, but the final group that was full of all-stars, including Billy Bell, were told by the judges that their performance was terrible and lacked heart. Judge Toni Redpath was furious after consulting with the rest of the judges, saying none of them deserved to move on but she'd been "talked in" to keeping them. The following round was contemporary, which was the specialty of most of the remaining dancers, but salsa dancer Cristina and ballroom dancer Giselle were worried. Cristina, though, made it through while surprising the judges with how well she adapted to the different style. Mary was brought to tears, though, when she had to tell Giselle that she wasn't going to make it to the next round. Another early favorite, Nicole with the big hair, was cut. Injured Anthony Burrell, Kent Boyd and Alex Wong made up one group in the contemporary round. Alex wasn't incredible, but the judges put him through for another round. Anthony proved himself to be "exquisite," in Nigel's words, and continued for another round. Nigel strung Kent along for a while before telling him he was "one of these people that I can see growing every single routine that you learn." Kent gave a passionate speech about how he didn't really think he could stack up against the other dancers, and Lil C broke down in tears as he told Kent that he certainly was good enough. He moved on in a group of 24 dancers that made it to the end of Vegas Week. Before they left Vegas, the dancers were treated to a lesson from legendary choreographer Grover Dale. The dancers had a chance to show the judges their stuff one last time, performing a solo before the final cuts would be made. Lauren Froderman once again wowed them with her routine, bringing more than half of the panel to its feet, as Adam said they were "in heaven" and Lil C called it "awesome." The 24 dancers left were each set to get a visit or phone call from one of the judges to let them know if they were in or out for the Top 10. Adrian Lee and Cristina Santana were the first to get visits. Toni teased Cristina through an agonizing wait before finally telling her she was in the Top 10. Mary visited Adrian and told him he didn't make the Top 10, but encouraged him to come back and try again. Nigel stayed back in Hollywood to deliver bad news over the phone to five more dancers. Nigel paid a visit to Lauren Froderman and told her all the reasons the judges thought they shouldn't choose her for the Top 10, then told her she "knocked them all down" and would be included in the small group of finalists. Mia Michaels visited Anthony Burrell, who said he needed something "like this" in his life, but she had to tell him he wasn't in the Top 10. Ashley Galvan waited for Lil C to show up and deliver some news. He told her she was his favorite from Vegas, but strung her along a bit longer before announcing she was in the Top 10. Nigel landed in Columbus, Ohio, where he first made some phone calls to tell some dancers they were out, and was on his way to Wapakoneta to visit Kent Boyd. Meanwhile, Tyce DiOrio made his way to Jose Ruiz's house in Miami. Jose was in. Mia went to visit tapper Melinda Sullivan and told her she was in. Alex Wong, meanwhile, awaited word from Tyce about his future on the show. Tyce told him there was concern that he didn't show enough passion and emotion in his performances, but he'll be getting more chances to prove himself because he's in. While Nigel continued to search for Wapakoneta, Mia paid a visit to Adechike Torbert to tell him he was in the Top 10. Nigel was pulled over by a cop on his way to Wapakoneta, and Tyce told Jocelyn she wasn't going to continue. With one spot left for a girl, Mary went to visit Alexie Agdeppa and Lil C went to see Ryan Ramirez. Mary asked Alexie if she'd try out again if she didn't make it. Alexie said she would, but Mary told her she wouldn't have to. Lil C, then, had to tell Ryan she didn't make it. Nigel finally made it to Kent's house in Wapakoneta, but asked to use the bathroom after his long drive. Nigel dragged out the process, in typical fashion, and told Kent he made it to Hollywood. Back in New York, Adam Shankman waited until the end of an Alvin Ailey show where Billy Bell and Robert Rolden which of them had earned the 10th spot. The 10th spot went to Robert, but there was a twist. A surprise 11th spot was saved for Billy.

- The Top 9 dancers on "So You Think You Can Dance" were asked to reveal their inspirations this week while trying to remain in the competition. Each dancer would also perform a solo to help voters decide who to support. After last week's results show, the remaining dancers picked their partners and dance styles, the most notable of which was Alex's drawing of Twitch for a hip-hop routine. Adechike: Desmond Richardson was the dancer who inspired Adechike to become the dancer he wanted to be. He was partners with Lauren for a hip-hop routine choreographed by Dave Scott. Nigel said Dave brought some personality out of Adechike, along with his swagger and funk. "This is a different Adechike than I've seen so far in the competition," Nigel said. Mia called him "Mr. Personality" and said she was "happy to see that there was some sunshine in there." Adam was excited and gave Adechike a standing ovation. Ashley: Ashley said her inspiration was her dance teacher, who she loves. She drew a contemporary routine choreographed by newcomer Dee Caspary and was partnered with Ade. Nigel said Ashley developed so much with this routine and demonstrated fluidity, which, for him, is the essence of dance. He also praised Dee, saying we'd be seeing more of him if his choreography remained this good. Mia said it was like a purple wind and a hurricane and a summer breeze. Adam said Ashley was "breathtaking" and called it one of the best contemporary performances he's seen by a girl in the show's history. Robert: Robert said his mother was his biggest inspiration after having gone through a divorce, three miscarriages, two deaths of newborn children and breast cancer. He drew a Sonya Tayeh jazz number and was partnered with Courtney. Nigel said Sonya's choreography suited Robert just like it suited Mark. Mia suggested to Robert that he take ballet, which would take him from "amazing" to "great." She said his performance is not quite as grounded and solid as it could be. Adam said Robert was a great dancer, but gave him a suggestion to not jump down. Melinda: Melinda took another opportunity to tell us that Harold Cromer was her mentor and inspiration. She drew a salsa dance with Pasha, choreographed by Fabian Sanchez. Melinda escaped a snagged heel in her dress, but Nigel said he didn't feel the fluidity in her movement. He said she tended more step into a step into a step. He questioned whether she was feeling the "flow of music." Mia said Melinda danced as hard as she could, but she seemed at times like she had bricks on her legs and was thrown into a pool and trying to survive. She also said there were moments where she thought they made a mistake last week by letting Cristina go instead of Melinda. Adam said he felt the same way. He said her tenacity and fire could help her, but it might not be enough to get her through. Lauren: The 18-year-old said her student council advisor was her inspiration. She was paired with Neil for a Broadway routine choreographed by Joey Dowling. Lauren had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction when the strap of her dress fell off, nearly revealing at least one of her assets. Mia said it was a great piece and danced well, but she wanted more slinkiness and "when the dress broke, it all happened." She wanted Lauren to let go a little more. Adam told Lauren to think of herself as dancing through water in order to accomplish what Mia was asking. Billy: Legacy from Season 6 was one of Billy's biggest inspirations, according to Billy. They met in Season 6. Billy was paired with Kathryn for a Stacey Tookey contemporary piece. Nigel said Billy was such a brilliant dancer and soloist, but he still had to learn how to partner because he "didn't quite believe" the partnership. Mia agreed, saying that Billy sometimes got lost in the lines and perfection of the dance. Adam said Billy would "see it all on the playback," referring to the judges' perceived lack of connection from him. Jose: Jose revealed that he was inspired by Bruce Lee. He drew a Dmitry Chaplin samba and was partnered with Anya. He dropped her a few times during rehearsals, but she insisted she trusted him. Nigel said it was great to have Dmitry back and said he'd brought out the man in Jose. Nigel said Jose was "not the best dancer in this show," but has magic and charisma beyond most. Mia said she was completely baffled because even though Jose wasn't a great dancer but she didn't care to pick apartment individual sections. Kent: Kent said his older brother Jerry was his biggest inspiration. He pulled all-star Allison and choreographer Mandy Moore. Nigel decided to be a bit tough on Kent, and told him to hold back on his extras that were taking away from his performance. Still, he said Kent had something that most audience don't have. He said Kent was losing his partner because he was playing it up with the crowd too much. Mia agreed, saying Kent was getting caught up in the personality every Wednesday. Adam said Kent was one of the most hirable dancers on the show, but he has to watch that he doesn't overdo the personality bit. Alex: Alex said his inspiration was Edward Villella, a boxer turned dancer who made it alright for guys to dance in a masculine way. Alex drew a hip-hop routine with Twitch, choreographed by Tabitha & Napoleon. The routine was a bit of a play on Alex's ballet background and how he'd have to ditch it in order to perform hip-hop. The crowd loved it, the judges all stood in ovation, and the choreographers were going wild. Nigel called it the best routine Tabitha & Napoleon have ever done. He said it was all about Alex, a ballet dancer, doing the "most incredible hip-hop" routine he's seen and he predicted an Emmy nomination. Mia asked, "Who the hell are you?" She said Alex defied everything about the ballet world. She said he held his own alongside Twitch. Adam said, "This is your world and I am just visiting." He said Alex's performance made him proud to be on the show so he could witness that routine.
