Eliminated tonight:
The Girls - Nigel asks Kherington to step forward. He tells her that she’s reminded everyone this week that she’s not just a pretty face. He tells her she’s danced brilliantly and asks her to sit down. Kherington is SAFE. Comfort and Jessica are left. Nigel says he’s had his mind changed in the course of conversations with the other judges. He congratulates Comfort, “You really pulled it out with your solo.” he tells her. Does that mean he’s going to keep her? He tells Jessica that they were somewhat disappointed with her solo, but that she’s had at least one routine a week that’s been absolutely stunning (don’t make me go back to the tape Nigel! Jessica has had some good performances, but not one a week) Because of the good routines, Nigel says, the judging panel has decided to keep her. Jessica is SAFE and Comfort is Eliminated.
The Guys - Nigel asks Twitch to step foward. “I’m glad you were in the Bottom 3,” he says, “It wakes everybody up…it also gives us the opportunity to see your unique style and musicality. Nigel tells him he’s SAFE. Will and Thayne are left. Will and Thayne are left. Thayne has got to know he’s a dead man walking. Nigel compares Will to the Alvin Ailey dancers who had just performed. He tells Will that his work is superb and that “we certainly can’t lose you tonight.” He asks Will to sit down. He is SAFE. Thayne is eliminated.
Nigel tells Thayne he wishes he could have eliminated TWO girls tonight, and kept all the boys. Oh, I agree! To Thayne, Nigel says, “You have been superb on this series, your work is excellent, and I know that Mia Michaels will be working with you soon, she’s very upset at losing you tonight, although we have been unanimous in our decision.” A nice send off for Thayne.

Do the partners get picked for them or do they draw names? I can’t remember if that was just for picking dance numbers or for picking partners too. Anyone remember????
Haha….”jidges.” On Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsey always says “restrunt” for “restaurant.” I love the British.
So much for convincing myself that Gev won’t be paired with Jessica next week. Darn.
goldenlpb,
See my answer on the previous page. In short, they draw names each week.
sorry kerfuffle, I must have missed you on the first page!
Thanks for those explanations, kerfuffle!
So we’ll be seeing each dancer perform once as a pair and once in a solo. Are they pulling out of hats for genres for both performances, one or none? (Sorry, I’m so dense on this. AI is just so much simpler in this regard.)
They pull their dance partner, and their dance style out of a hat. For their solo, they dance it in their own style.
BootStar, As I recall from past seasons, the girls pull a guy’s name from the hat. Someone (the guy?) pulls the couples’ dance style from a hat. Solos are a bit vague in my recollection. I think they’ve done different things in different seasons (2 & 3) - I didn’t watch season 1 - and different things different weeks. As rher said, last season they all danced the “same” solo, “interpreted” differently by each dancer at least one week. But that got WAY tedious, so they may not do that again. IDK.
goldenplb, No worries!
I lurve the Gevster, but I dont’ think he stands a chance against the male dancers who are left. And I think Jessica is definitely being set up as the next elimination amongst the girls.
I should just make my pool picks now, and be done with it…
They draw names and it changes weekly.
This is the week that I’m taking the little Spenses to that evil mouse’s kingdom - so I’m going to have to do just that! I’ll have to make my picks on Monday without seeing anyone dance. Oh well, I guess it’s adios to the number 6 position. It was great while it lasted :)
Thanks to kerfuffle and to dreambabydream for explanations about the process on SYTYCD from here on.
This has probably been mentioned a million times, but I’ve missed all of them. Does anybody know what has happened to/with Sabra? Or Danny?
(I hope I’m not too far OT.)
I think it changes from week to week, whether it is the guys pulling girls names or the girls pulling guys names. And then whichever is the pullee (as opposed to being the puller) is the one who picks the dance styles from the hat.
Last year, it was when there were 10 left that their solos were all the same choreography. After that, they did their solos in their own style. I think even the judges were bored with seeing the same routine over and over and over again by about 4 or 5 in. I highly doubt that we’ll see that one again. I would expect that they simply do their solos in their own styles.
Also, someone asked on the previous page whether it was just one partner dance and one solo each…nope! Whoever they get partnered with, they will perform 2 partner dances with. And each individual dancer will perform 1 solo. So, every performance night from here on out, we will see each dancer perform at least 3 times. They started doing 2 numbers a couple of weeks earlier than they have in the past, so who knows what else they’ll change on us. Maybe when they get down to the Top 6 or so, they’ll do 3 partner dances? I don’t know.
But, once it gets to the Top 4, everything changes. They will all dance a solo, each girl will dance with each guy, etc…the two girls will dance together, the two guys will dance together, and all 4 will dance together. I believe once its all said and done, each dancer will dance 5 routines that night. It’s insane. But lots of fun.
Granted, like I mentioned earlier they could change all of this on us and throw us for a loop. Who knows?
They don’t always do solos, but as far as I can remember, they do two dances with their new partner each week. Season 1, they started doing two (partner) dances in Week 4. But Season 1 was so different in every way that it really doesn’t count.
Season 2, they didn’t start doing two (partner) dances until Week 6, when all they had left was the top ten. That was when they threw out the couples and mixed up the partners, and also started two (partner) dances per week. All ten of them also did solos in their own styles. So, for example, Travis, who had been paired with Martha until the Top Ten, now had Heidi, and they performed the Paso Doble and a contemporary routine choreographed by Mia. Travis did a contemporary solo to Gavin DeGraw and Heidi did a Latin solo, I think, to the Black Eyed Peas. They switched partners each week after that, with two partner dances and a solo. (They may not have done solos Week 7 (Top Eight) actually. I don’t remember.)
Season 3, the only people doing solos were the ones in the B3 until the Top Ten. Then each couple did ONE (instead of two, like the previous season) partner dance, plus each individual did the Wade solo to “Waiting on the World to Change.” While it was cool to see them each perform the same dance, it was also not fair in the least to give a contemporary solo to people like Pasha the Latin ballroom dancer and Dominic the b-boy. Top Eight, it was two partner dances and no solos. Top Six, it was two partner dances and everybody did solos as well.
Oh, and in the Final Four, the last two seasons, everybody danced with everybody else, including the two girls having a number of their own and the two boys with a number of their own, and each has to do a solo in addition.
Because each season so far has been slightly different from the others, I don’t know that we can guarantee what they will do. Giving the top 14 and top 12 two partner dances a week was already different from the previous seasons, so whether they will add solos this week or do something completely different, I have no idea.
i hope next week for the first hour they dance with the new partner of the week and the next hour they each do a solo for a 1 and 1/2. cause as Thayne proved (over and over) a solo can change a person’s mind about who they want eliminated. and i really really want to see Gev’s (again) and Joshua’s solo!
Thank you mj for pointing out the fake lesbianism and simply bad singing. The contrast is stunning when you compare that with all the great dancing.
Judging from the votes so far, Only Katee, Joshua, Mark and Chelsie never been in bottom 3. So thats mean 4 of them had large fans base or at least one of each couples.
In season 2, Donnyelle and Benji never got into bottom 3 when they made into top 10. Both of them smoothly into final 4.
In season 3, Benji sister (how I can forget her name?????) also never made to bottom 3 and she alone made into top 4 cause her partner didnot had big fan base and eliminated in top 10.
So we will see in next week, if Joshua/Katee and Mark/Chelsie fansbase. If no matter the result of the dance in top 10 good or bad, both four of them didnot falled into bottom 4. It mean it was s trong indication 4 of them will sailed to final 4.
If one of them in bottom 2, example : Katee in bottom 2 next week and Joshua not. Mean Joshua was 99% will be in final four cause his votes alone carying both of them to top 10. And vice versa.
(2 girls and 2 boys at the bottom vote will be called and the lowest girl and boy in votes will be send home)
So next week will be simply interesting.
I do hope the judges specially NIgel was not foolish enough to do season 3 routine in top 5 where all 10 people dance the same choreography. What a lousy stupid idea.
All 10 people shall dance in their own strength cause at the end, we only picked one winner.
