Congratulations to SarahW! She’s the first place winner in the So You Think You Can Dance Pool. She correctly chose Joshua as her overall pick at the beginning of the season, and chose him as her pick the last week. That, and some astute choices in between landed her the first place spot.

Congrats as well to Hoppy, who came in second and Gingerly who landed third. Check out the Top 10 Pool winner, below:

The judges speak to the six contestants one last time before the finale. Nigel’s talk is a little pep talk about rejection. Each of the contestants polled over 1 million votes last night. Mary gets misty as she tells the Top 6 she’ll be proud no matter who wins. Adam Shankman quotes “Magic Rainbows” as he tells them to remember everything. Adam gets a little misty too! - VIDEO

Comfort Fedoke and Will Wingfield are Eliminated Tonight - VIDEO VIDEO

Personality trumps technique tonight, as Will, arguably the best technical dancer in this year’s competition is sent packing. He had the chops, but his stiff personality didn’t win the voters hearts. That James Brown routine with the wig–an example of trying way to hard–exemplified his inability to connect. All I can say about Comfort going home–It’s about time. Now, let’s hope she doesn’t have some sort of Carrie-rising-from-the-dead moment. At this point, I swear she could. Stay healthy, girls!

Group Dance - by Chuck Maldonado - Song: “Universal Mind Control (UMC)” by Common - VIDEO

Nigel asks the viewing audience to “please educate yourself” and vote in the presidential election this year. That’s funny to me. Americans love to vote for their favorite reality show contestants. President of the United States? Maybe not so much. I vote for both! He pimps the website declareyourself.com.

The Bottom 2 Girls/Guys

• Cat begins calling the contestants out to the center stage one by one. Katee is first. She is SAFE, of course. Will takes center stage, and learns he is the first of the BOTTOM 2 GUYS. - VIDEO
• Comfort is next. She learns she is the first of the BOTTOM 2 GIRLS. Next is Mark. HOLEE CRAP MARK IS SAFE!!! There go my points. Mark is totally shocked, “Oh my GOD WHAT? WHAT?” He says. The look on his face is priceless. - VIDEO
• Chelsie takes center stage. She is SAFE. The dancers left backstage look REAL nervous. Next, is Twitch. Cat informs him he’s in the BOTTOM 2 guys. He turns his back to the audience, clearly upset. He probably thinks he’s going home, but I don’t think so. Joshua is next. He (and we) already know that he’s SAFE. Courtney, left backstage by herself, is called to center stage. But, as the last girl standing, and with a B2 spot to fill, she already knows she’s in the BOTTOM 2 GIRLS. - VIDEO

In the Bottom, and dancing solo later in the show are: Will, Comfort, Twitch and Courtney.
