So You Think You Can Dance – Top 16 Results – Recap
Chelsea Traille and Chris Jarosz are Eliminated
Comfort and Thayne become dance partners, as Chelsea and Chris are sent packing tonight. Chris clearly had the weakest solo dance of the three, just as he did last week, when Marquis was (unfairly! He danced his ass off!) sent home. Justice is served. I have to say, I enjoyed Thayne’s solo tonight. And, Matt did more than enough to prove that he deserves to stay, indeed, Nigel called his solo “brilliant” and apologized for being so hard on him.
Chelsea’s solo was better than Comfort’s but as yet another contemporary dancer, Chelsea became expendable. Plus, she really botched her routine this week. No matter. Comfort should really have her suitcase packed. Her time is coming, sooner rather than later, unless Nigel thinks it’s time for a surprise boot, or another dancer really screws up.
Although Kourtney has been a bit of a disappointment to Nigel, I hope she hangs on for at least a few more weeks. Save Kourtney! And Matt too, while yer at it. Their routine this week was unappreciated by the voters, in my opinion. Really, Will and Jessica, danced a shaky routine that was full of mistakes. They should have been Bottom 3 instead.
Mia Michaels choreographed tonight’s group dance. She really does love her some Tim Burton, doesn’t she? These edgy, creative group routines are the highlight of the results show – Song: “The Dance” by Charlotte Martin – VIDEO
Who is in the Bottom 3?
- Chelsea and Thayne are in the Bottom 3, Katee and Joshua are SAFE, Chelsie and Mark are SAFE. – VIDEO
- Kherington and Twitch are SAFE, Courtney and Gev are SAFE, Comfort and Chris are in the Bottom 3. – VIDEO
- Kourtni and Matt are in the Bottom 3. Jessica and Will are SAFE. – VIDEO
The Best Dance Crew in America – Quest featuring former contestants, Ryan, Dominic and Hok – That was pretty cool. I like the lone girl. - Song: “Chemical Calisthenics” by Blackalicious feat. Cut Chemist – VIDEO
Dancing for their lives tonight:
- Chelsea Traille (A Song for You, by Donny Hathaway), Thayne Jasperson (Always by Bon Jovi), Comfort Fedoke (“Just Fine” by Mary J. Blige) and Chris Jarosz (“After Tonight” by Justin Mozuka) – VIDEO

Jordin Sparks performs her single, “One Step at a Time” – Nice job, Jordin! – VIDEO
Elimination:
- Nigel gives the bottom dwellers a stern lecture this week. Daddy’s angry! That’s Kourtney with a K Nigel! The girls are first–Chelsea Traille is ELIMINATED, Kourtni Lind and Comfort Fedoke are SAFE. Then the boys–Matt Dorame is SAFE. Chris Jarosz is ELIMINATED, Thayne Jasperson is SAFE. – VIDEO

Weelassie-
Oh, and if you ever get through Sarah’s list (lol), try Season 2 as well.
Benji and Donyelle – Broadway (Top 12)
Travis and Benji – Hip-hop (Top 4)
Travis and Heidi – Contemporary (Top 10)
Benji and Heidi – Mambo (Top
…or just watch all of Benji’s performances starting from the Top 20 up to his win! He’s hilarious. If you’re interested, here is the list of S2 performances. I believe they’ll all come up in youtube if you search the dancers’ names and routine. I recommend performing your searches in this loser’s (whoops, I meant user’s) video account.
How about Dominic & Lauren’s Rumba (Top 8)? You know, for the hell of it?
Oh, there were also the Top 10 solos choreographed by Wade Robson (?) to John Mayer’s “Waiting on the World to Change” from last season. Everyone in the Top 10 did that solo, but since it was the same one, I recommend watching Sara’s. I thought she was the best out of the group on that solo.
Ooooh, also Mia Michaels’ beautiful group routine to Hide & Seek was one of my favs. Except for the outrageous screaming in the background drowing out the music, it’s definitely worth a watch.
weelassie – there’s also (and I’m not sure if we’re allowed to mention it here, MJ? hope so…) torrents of each ep out there to download if you want really good quality. I caught up on S1 that way after getting hooked S2, it’s like watching a DVD.
I LOVED that routine. But my favorite group performance would have to be the Ramalama number from S2.
Unless Comfort-Thayne can somehow make their fans vote them at Top 4 next week, no matter how well they dance next week, Comfort-Thayne will be on the chopping block.
Comfort can only pray that William_jessica also be in bottom 3 cause then she can survive one more week. If bottom 3 female dancers are her, and two other girls other than Jessica, Comfort will surely be a goner.
Thats say, I do not think Comfort can get into top 10 cause the other 5 girls, was much more talented than her. Katee, Chelsea, Kherington (NIgel fav), Courtney and Khourtni. Maybe Khourtni not as good as the other 4 , but she still do better than Comfort so far in SYTYCD 4.
Jessica had to pray that Will and her fans keep them at least in top 3 to make to the top 5 pairs otherwise, once she was in bottom 3, she was a goner too.
It will be pretty amamzing if the top 5 boys contain of 3 hip hop dancers and only 2 contemporary dancers? Must be first. Unless Matt can somehow gain enough voters to support him and Khourtni to top 3 pairs, they will end up in the bottom 3. And also hope other hip hop dancers pair stumbled into bottom 3. Otherwise he will be cut in top 6.
For those of you, who have not seen SYTYCD season 1 -3 , you can download them via Rapid Share in http://www.warez-bb.org.
In that forum, register first, at search section, type in So you think you can dance and then put the category “TV SHOWS” then click submit.
And voila! You can get all the files of SYTYCD complete. Of course it will take a while to download them. But it will be fun to compare which season was the best.
That was my favorite, too, Hisaki. By far.
I am of the belief that Thayne and Comfort will be gone next week. There’s no way they can land in the B3 for 3 weeks in a row and not get cut. JMO.
Another fabulous one indeed.
It’s certainly not looking good for Thayne, but I hope he’s luckier in the draw next week. Personally, I don’t understand how Quickstep is in the competition anymore. I know they’ve had one or two successful attempts at it over the years, but it’s hardly ever popular – even with the judges.
What I’m really missing this year? A sexy male latin dancer. I’ve always hated the way ballroom dancers are treated as second class citizens on this show compared with lyrical/contemporary dancers. Both have their qualities and one isn’t ‘better’ than the other. This season, perhaps with some extra pushing by Mia (whom I’ve still not forgiven for her behavior in S2, despite her gorgeous choreography), they pretty much left ballroom out completely on the boys side other than one Swing dancer, and somehow it’s left this season lacking balance for me. *shrug*
Thanks for the tips on where to go to see these all in one place.
This year was the worst year for ballroom dancing finalist cause only 2 made it to top 20 and only Chelsea was left after first elimination.
Judging from other contemporary dancers, (not all as good as Will and Mark), so maybe at least 1 or 2 finlaist can be ballroom dancing finalist.
Funny thing was, they dance lots of ballroom and latin dancing in the show , more than contemporary and jazz routine, but the contemporary dancers were dominating in top 20.
And I had a feeling that Nigel was pushing real hard for Will or maybe Kherington to win the whole thing.
