So You Think You Can Dance: Down to 12!

post from BuzzSugar on 03 July 2009 07:30:30 AM. © BuzzSugar

After a night of strong performances on Wednesday, Thursday's So You Think You Can Dance results show delivered a few surprises - at least when it came to the dancers who ended up in the bottom three. Were the dancers on the chopping block the same ones you predicted, or were you left wondering where your favorites went wrong? To chat about it, just read more.

So the judges made good on their promise to send Vitolio home if he ended up in the bottom three again, and his new partner, Karla, followed along with him. That wasn't that surprising, I suppose - but the other two couples in the bottom three were. Jeanine and Phillip found themselves dancing for their lives (over a very stunned Jason and Caitlin, who were sent to safety). But the one that shocked me most was Kayla and Kupono, my favorite couple of Wednesday's show, who somehow found themselves in danger. Maybe the Twilight audience didn't turn out to vote for this vampire routine after all?

Here's how it went down during the solos:

The girls - Jeanine finally got to dance contemporary and showed a lot of technique and personality, leading the judges to quickly send her to safety with Nigel saying she performed the strongest solo of the night. As for the other two, Nigel said Kayla seemed static, throwing in a lot of kicks without really dancing from the heart. But Karla hasn't managed to capture the star quality the judges thought she had, so she was sent home.

The guys - Phillip finally got to do his thing for the first time since the selection of the top 20, which is always a joy. The judges said he seemed a little too desperate and overworked and has a lot to do to master other genres - but that's exactly what he'll be doing, as he was sent to safety. As for the other two, Vitolio again didn't deliver the big tricks, while Kupono did a little too much standing around, always a bad sign. But the judges made good on their promise to send Vitolio home if he was in the bottom three again, while Kupono lives to fight another week.

The second Vitolio ended up in the bottom three, I figured he was going home if the judges were remotely sincere about what they said last week. The ladies' side was a bit more of a toss-up, but the judges love Kayla so much, and Jeanine made such a strong impression with her solo, that I suppose the judges had no choice but to send Karla home. While it's sad to see them go, I really wouldn't have wanted to lose any of the others. What about you?

Some other thoughts:

Caitlin and Jason's surprised reaction to being safe - "the aliens did it!" - was one of the more genuine moments of shock I've seen on this show.
I will apparently cheer for Kelly Clarkson anywhere, at any time. I just love her, even if "I Do Not Hook Up" isn't necessarily one of my favorite songs on her new album.
Are the contestants getting rowdy over there in their corner on elimination night? Cat had to do a lot of good-natured shushing of the dancers who had already been sent to safety.
I love the results shows that feature real stars from the dance world. It's so cool to get to see that kind of thing on TV.

What did you think? Were you surprised at who was safe and who was sent home? And have you entered to win a trip to the finale yet?

"There's these new legal highs". Hang on! Hang on stupid. Ever heard of glue? Aerosols? Paint thinner? Standing up a bit too quickly? Licking toads? Anyway, never mind all that. I've been aware...

The Real World D.C.--or will it be The Real World Washington, D.C.?--cast moved in Thursday, and already the cast members encountered some residents who aren't thrilled by their presence. Real World DC Watch has photos from above and cast member descriptions. While one woman made her way to the house, The Anti-Real World DC blog says "cameramen were literally shoving people out of the way to film her walking alone up the street," and reports... keep reading »

Ratings up as Bachelorette 5's Ed returns, Jake
accuses Wes of having a secret girlfriend

The Bachelorette 5 is nearing its end--there are two more episodes until the reunion, and then the finale airs July 27--and while Jillian Harris's quest for a man hasn't yet come close to the drama that her suitor Jason Mesnick caused on The Bachelor 13, there have been interesting developments as one cast member has accused another--one who seems to be using the show for publicity--of having a secret girlfriend. And that happened while another... keep reading »

America's Got Talent is summer's most-watched
show again as scripted shows have more viewers than Wipeout, SYTYCD

The return of America's Got Talent has given NBC summer's top-rated series, a familiar place for the show and an unfamiliar place for NBC, which has been in the ratings toilet for some time now. Last week, the debut was the most-watched show, with Wipeout coming in 10th place and So You Think You Can Dance just behind and tied for 11th among all shows that aired that week. One year ago, reality shows fared... keep reading »

On Your Mark, Get Set, COUNTDOWN!

As TV seasons go, this past one wasn't one for the record books. While we celebrated the return of a full season, some of our faves let us down. Happily, some that weren't faves rose to the occasion and became new faves by the end of the season. Strange as it may have been, the '08-'09 season is wrapped and in the books, but this means that PTR's popular Best Episodes of the Season summer-long countdown is just beginning. Senior Staff Writer LillyKat and I have come up with another great list. Before we get to that, though, we have to go over the rules for the countdown. We ended up with 33 incredible episodes that demonstrate the diversity and quality of the current television state. The shows and their episodes are from both NETWORK and CABLE television. All episodes aired between June 2008 and June 2009. Each episode that made the final list moved us in some way; either by making us laugh out loud, cry our eyes out or just left us with that "wow" feeling that stays with you for a few days. So basically, it's completely subjective! Since this is a summer-long countdown to the number 1 episode, we will reveal a few each week all summer. So, be sure to tune in every Friday to find out which episodes are on the countdown! Today, we're going to take a look at numbers 33-31.

33: "Friends with Benefits" - My Name is Earl
What happens when a huge misunderstanding finds Randy in bed with another man? HILARITY! Earl goes in search of Joy and Darnell to give them back Mr. Turtle and leaves Randy by himself. This gets Randy feeling a little lonely, but he mistakes another man's interest as brotherly instead of romantic. Meanwhile, Earl discovers that Joy is preoccupied with trying to fit in with her new upscale neighbors. This was one of those episodes where both story lines had me rolling! Pure hysterics between watching Randy trying to replace Earl and Joy trying to fit in with the posh crowd. I know it seems like common sense, but shouldn't a comedy be funny? This episode certainly made for a lot of laughs. Written by Jessica Goldstein and Chrissy Pietrosh and directed by Allison Liddi-Brown.
32: "Gus Walks into a Bank" - Psych
So, Gus walks into a bank. He wanted Shawn to go with him, but he chose to wait in the car because he's pissed at the bank for denying him a small business loan for a zip line that delivers food from the kitchen to the living room. While Gus is in the bank, a gunman holds everyone hostage and things begin to spiral out of control. Of course, Shawn finds himself right in the middle of it. What I didn't expect was to see Shawn running the negotiation for the bank robber. Nor did I expect to see him sparring with someone more obnoxious than Lassie! Once inside the bank, Shawn was able to ascertain the robber's motive, mess with SWAT team and tease Jules. Funny lines aside, he got himself back out of the bank, saved the robber's wife and figured out who had been holding her hostage to arrange the heist in order to secure a client's rare diamonds. But, it was just another day in the life of Shawn Spencer: Fake Psychic Detective. Written by Andy Berman and directed by Eric Laneuville.

31: "Chuck Versus the Coloniel" - Chuck
Chuck and Sarah go AWOL in order to save Chuck's dad from the evil Chevy Chase. And while they're roadtripping, a few feelings find their way to the surface. Sarah, in a moment of complete vulnerability, allows herself to get caught up in her feelings and winds up making out with Chuck in their shared hotel room. And if that wasn't enough excitement, Chuck and his dad stop the evil Chevy Chase from carrying out his new and improved Intersect plan. Oh yeah, and there's that little matter of Chuck finally ridding himself of the Intersect. Normal life from here on out, right? Well, it seems, once a spy, always a spy especially when the enemy has not been neutralized and a huge wedding is waiting in the wings. This one had action, adventure, romance and fun. What more can you ask for? Written by Matt Miller and directed by Peter Lauer
So, there's a look at the first set of episodes on the countdown. What do you think? Do you agree? Disagree? Leave us a comment with your thoughts. And be sure to tune in next Friday for #30-28 on the list.
