Learn more- After a slamming hip hop routine to open the show -- it ended with Gev holding a headstand for what seemed like five minutes, and host Cat Deeley couldn't even throw him off by tickling his ribs -- it was time to eliminate two more dancers on "So You Think You Can Dance?"
As usual, the bottom three couples would be asked to perform individual routines in their own styles, with the judges making the final decision on which guy and which girl would go home. Guest judge Mia Michaels again joined regulars Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe.
To the results: After those quick introductions, Cat brought the first three couples to the stage to hear their results. The first up for judgment was Katee & Joshua, who were safe after the judges loved their performance and the viewers seemed to agree. Up next were Kherington & Twitch and Chelsea & Thayne. Kherington & Twitch wowed the judges, for the most part, with their moving Viennese waltz, while the judges didn't seem to buy the passion delivered by Chelsea & Thayne. The first couple into the bottom three was Chelsea & Thayne. Kherington & Twitch were safe. Mia said she wasn't surprised by the vote at all, and knew that Chelsea and Thayne weren't surprised, either.
The next set of three couples came on to the stage, and the first to get results was Chelsie & Mark, whose tango had the judges in a good mood. They were safe. Up next were Kourtni & Matt, who left the judges with a lukewarm reaction, and Jessica & Will, who got some lopsided reviews from the judges. They loved Will but didn't think Jessica kept up. Cat got a little playful, announcing, "The second couple in the bottom three is ... not you, Kourtni & Matt." While that couple celebrated and Will & Jessica got sad, she surprised them by announcing, "Jessica and Will ... it's not you either!" It was a mini-riot as all four dancers jumped into a group hug and ran wildly off stage to join the other safe couples.
Seriously, this time: The next couple on the block was Susie & Marquis, whose salsa wasn't spicy enough for the judges. They became the second couple in the bottom three. Mary said the couple had a tough time on Wednesday, which can happen to anyone on this show. That meant the final couple in the bottom three would be either Comfort & Chris or Courtney & Gev. First, Comfort & Chris, who krumped and had the judges giving Chris a bit of a hard time, with Nigel telling Chris, "My granny is more gangsta than you." Courtney & Gev got somewhat mixed results from the judges. But what did the voters think? Chris & Comfort got the bad news, that they were the final couple in the bottom three. Nigel said this couple has "never really had a go of it yet." He said it would be good to see them do "what they do and why they're here."
Special guest:After the bottom six dancers were finalized, Cat introduced guest dancer Timo Nunez, whom she called the America's Number 1 flamenco dancer (umm, did he win a reality show for that title, or what?).
To the solos: Chelsea was the first perform her solo, a contemporary piece that showed some nice movement. Thayne kicked off his contemporary bit with a front flip and offered some more big jumps. Susie looked to heat up the stage with her Latin flair, followed by Marquis, whose bit was all about big movements and body control. Comfort hit the stage hard with her krumping and hip hop combination. Chris' modern dance was nice, but would it be enough to save him? The judges left to deliberate over which guy and which girl would go home.
Another guest: Flo Rida stopped by to perform his song, "In the Air."
The verdict is in: Nigel told a heartwarming story about how whomever would be sent home could still be a winner despite being a loser. Nigel first asked Chelsea to step forward and told her that she really needs to step up, but that, for this night, she was safe. He next told Susie that she's not lighting up the stage anymore. He then called upon Comfort and told her she has never found her potential on the show, but that perhaps the opening dance of the results show started her back on the right track -- and that was why they decided to keep her. That meant Susie was going home.
Next up were the guys, and Nigel noted that the three "contemporary boys" were standing in the bottom three. Nigel told Thayne he's got a lot of potential. He told Marquis that the judges were worried that everything he did in his solo was "tricks, and not dance," and the judges all felt that isn't what the show is about. Nigel then pointed out that he's asked Chris to bring his personality out and that he's "most certainly doing that" and that he danced with a great deal of passion. In the end, it was Marquis going home.
