So You Think You Can Dance – Top 20 Results – Recap
Hey! I got all my points in the pool! This week’s elimination is not a surprise. Rayven and Jamie were unseen and they performed first. The judges criticized Rayven for not dancing on pointe when she danced for her life. You would think she’d pull out all the stops. Jessica and Will finding their way into the Bottom 3 was a bit of a suprise. Though they got rave reviews from the judges, they don’t appear to be connecting with the viewing audience.
The Pussycat Dolls were just…sh*teous. I mean, WTF?
The Matt and Kourtni duo: I think Kourtni saved Matt’s ass. She already has a following, I don’t think he’s very popular. If they wind up in the bottom 3 again, and if there is a suitable left over partner for her, I’m betting the judges send him home and keep her.
The most popular couples right now, are Katee and Joshua and Chelsie H and Mark. I expect them to go deep in the competition.
I love that the judges pick the ultimate bootee. It really takes a lot of the manipulation of the contest itself out of the equation.
- Nigel Lythgoe tied to a chair? The Wade and Angela Robeson choreography (Song: “Cobrastyle” by Robyn) was pretty awesome! – VIDEO

I’m happy with tonight’s results (and my 15 points!). Big shout out to our blog mistress and her perfect score for the night!
Glad Will got through. He’s amazing, and I would hate to see him leave so soon.
Joshua & Twitch safe – YEAH!!!
Loved the Wade group number.
I thought the group number was very wierd. And weren’t the Pussycat Dolls just pathetic!
I’m an extreme casual view of SYTYCD (as in, I didn’t even watch the whole show on Wednesday and I just watched the end of today’s show) but I thought it would be fun to just join in the pool! And I went with the guy and girl picked the most to go home on that percentage box…and now I’m ranked number 1 in the pool…wow
Rather predictable results, but I messed up my pool and only got eight points, oh well, there’s always next wk.
(((Joshua))) safe and back next wk, the boy has skills
and a hott body, I am sold
The Pussy Cat dolls were a freaking trainwreck, I had no idea what they were singing and it was just completely weird
Jeez, Nigel is on a kick attacking people’s personalities right now, isn’t he. I’m fine with the results, but I thought he was a little hard on Jamie.
What was up with the PCD? That was awful.
PCD sucked but then I expected as much from them. I’m ok with who went home but I thought Rayven was somewhat better than Jessica dancing for her life. It seemed to me they wanted to send a couple home. (I think it’s Jessica–Will’s partner).
I HEART Wade’s choreography!!!
And yay for getting 10 points! I picked the right guy, but wrong girl. I thought Jamie was the worst of the guys.
I’m not going to pick a favorite or vote though. I’m so done with that. I’m just going to try to enjoy the show!
I wanted Susie to leave. No Points for me on the girl side.
I thought of the girls, Rayven had the best solo performance tonight, so I was surprised when she left. I thought the Uma chick was pretty terrible, and the Jessica girl was boring as hell. Oh, well, I got 10 pts from Jamie!
Well, good riddance to Jamie. He annoyed me.
Thanks for the video of the group number. Wade is one crazy dude (although the idea of binding and gagging Nigel really isn’t that crazy if you ask me). The only people I could really pick out were Mark (who seemed to be everywhere), Susie and Courtney G. Well, I did see Kherington and Matt pushing Nigel in his chair, but that’s not exactly dancing!
I guess the Wades and Mias of the choregraphy pool really love them some Mark. Cool. I hope that means he sticks around a long time.
What was up with the sound and direction tonight?!? The mic problems, sound levels and wandering camera shots cheapened the show. Tighten it up, Nigel.
Yeah I played in the pool for the first time and got 10 points for the girl but the tree is still there. Yay – Joshua and Twitch – Did the pussycat dolls really say “when I grow up i wanna have boobies”!!??? Or babies – oh that was not so good
I was surprised that Rayven’s gone. She was way better than Jessica. But my favs are still there – Kherington, Chelsea and Twitch!
PC Dolls – look like a bunch of hookers. Can’t sing, can’t dance – just sell sex.
One word for the PC Dolls – disgusting. I’m so glad my daughter didn’t see it.
Matt surprised me with his solo dance. He wasn’t stiff at all. It was really beautiful. I don’t know if he can translate his style to the competition demands but I see why they kept him around another week. Having said that, I was really hoping that Jessica and Matt would be voted off so that Will and Kourtni would be partners. Maybe they will end up together at some point because I don’t think Jessica will be around much longer.
i’m pretty sure PCD’s sang this same song at the mtv movie awards and just as badly
so much for my picks in the pool lol
great group number
I was a chicken and split my points — ended up with 5 points! Yay me. Only not. :eek_wp:
Impressive, MJ. You sure you haven’t followed this show before?
In the end, I ageed with the choices.
Loved loved loved the opening number — they could have left out bug-eyed Nigel. Enjoyed picking out Mark in the group — I’m still trying to decide about him. I loved bo-rap, enjoyed the first pairs dance, and now I’m trying to decide what’s what with his personality. It’s hard to pick out a summer boyfriend!
I have my daughter to thank for my points, she sat and watched the clips with me and she is a big fan of hip hop and has taken a lot of classes with hiphop. She said Rayven was dancing hip hop like a ballerina, too much on point. I thought she was great, shows what I know. So I picked her.
i split my points with the boys because to be honest they are all kind of blending into one for me, too many contemporary similar looking white boys! Can’t tell them apart yet and I knew one of them annoyed me but couldn’t remember which one. But I am happy with 15 pts
)))
And Wade Robson’s choreography was great!! Just wish they could have left Nigel tied up!
I just used the rules of AI to pick: Unseen contestants First to perform = Elimination.
.
Excellent strategy MJ! Good for all of you with perfect scores the first week out – I’m impressed.
I completely agree with this. Although I have to add that Twitch is clearly the most popular “individual”. To my ears, he had the loudest crowd reaction in the intro by a long shot. Plus, he already had some semblance of a built in fan base by trying out last year.
My guess with regard to voting numbers, is that “Twitchington” is equally as popular as these other two couples.
Kudos to Joshua and Katee. She had a really crappy edit in the choosing of the top twenty show, and she kept up with Joshua in his specialty. I think she could have been hurt by that negative portrayal, but they got a little lucky with a great routine and used their abundance of talent to knock it out of the park.
Chelsea H. is a fabulous dancer and an even better partner. If the choreographers can continue to use Mark’s quirkiness in a positive way, I believe they’ll go far.
I don’t get Jessica’s greatness at all. She is lucky to have Will for a partner. That solo number was all flipping hair and nothing else. Crazy that Mary said they were the couple to beat. I found her plastered smile and vacant eyes during the tango very off-putting. I thought for sure that the judges would call her out on it, but no. Scratching head as to why the judges love her. Enough ranting on that.
Regarding Kourtni’s partner (Matt??), the tall one. I think he has fabulous form if you just look at his legs and leaps. However, I agree with Nigel that his head is very stiff. Compound that with a smile that also seems to plastered on. Jamie, from a distance, reminded me of Patrick Swayze. I would have preferred for him to stay.
MJ, I’m so glad you seem to be getting into SYTYCD and I think your recaps are great!
Last night’s results show truly remind me why I love this show as much as I do. It really is about the “talent” as much as any competition-based reality TV show can be. Yes, Nigel does love the “personalities” of the dancers, but ultimately, the dancing trumps all. Part of me expected Matt to get the boot over Jamie since Jamie seems to be the only straight “heartthrob” type this season, but Matt clearly danced the better solo, so he was spared. Although I don’t see him lasting much longer unless he steps it up.
*sigh* I like Matt. It’s slightly depressing that this time around, my pretty-boy eye candy doesn’t seem to stand a chance of winning or even making it to the finale. Hopefully he can step it up, because the judges seem to be fond of at least half the group left over him (damn you, Nigel).
Heh, I was secretly hoping to see Comfort and Tree in the bottom, so Tree could be kicked out and Comfort could dance a kickass routine and completely save herself (because I don’t remember having seen her full audition, which was supposedly awesome). I think the sole reason Tree would last on this show is being carried through on his partner’s likeability.
Anyway, the group number was awesome. I hope Wade becomes a regular choreographer for the show sometime soon; I heart his choreography.
And as Simon would say, the PCD were “atrocious”. Besides, I thought these shows were supposed to be family-friendly? It seems family-friendly TV is no longer family-friendly, these days.
I am missing my pretty Russian boys. I watched Jamie’s dance for your lives routine and there were some moves that reminded me of Pasha Kovalev and Dmitry Chaplin. Yes, I really do want a “Prince” and a “sex symbol,” in this competition. I didn’t want Jamie to be eliminated.
Chelsea H. is a terrific dancer and I see her going far. It seems Comfort fills the bill for the hip hop girl.
The PCD were better last time around and didn’t look as much as hookers as they did last night. Just awful.
Maybe Will = Michael Johns, heh.
I actually think Will = Danny. He’s a terrific dancer (though he doesn’t seem quite as good as Danny, based on the few times I’ve seen him dance), but he really hasn’t connected with the audience yet – despite the overt praise of his very real talent by the judges. Same thing with Danny last year. The judges had to save him several times early on, as I recall. He finally did begin to connect toward the end of the season, though not enough to win. Sabra was a fan favorite from very early on. Last year, the audience vote alone selected the final winner: No “Dancing for your life” in front of the judges. I’m not sure if that’s how they’ll do it this year, too.
