So You Think You Can Dance: Top Ten Eliminations

Thursday, July 20, 2006

So You Think You Can Dance returns tonight to eliminate two more dancers. America has spoken and one more female and one more male will be going home by the end of tonight's show. Votes were the highest ever for last night's show, as eight million people called in for their favorite dancer. On tonight's show we open with a group performance choreographed by Wade Robson. After reviewing last night's performances and the judges comments we brought the girls up first to find out who is in the bottom two.

First up is Donyelle. She is quickly safe. Martha follows, and she is the first in the bottom two. Nigel had mentioned she might be in danger tonight, and she was.Allison came up next, and she is also safe. This leaves Heidi and Natalie. Who joins Martha in the bottom two? Natalie. This shocks me because she was one of my favorites last night. Her solo was amazing.After a commercial break, the men are brought up to find out who is in the bottom two. The first one up is the first one set for elimination, Ryan. Next up we see Travis, and he is safe. Benji is also safe. This leaves Ivan and Dimitry. Who joins the girls and Ryan in the bottom two? That honor falls to Dimitry. The four will dance again, but the ones eliminated has already been decided by America's vote.

The four then take the stage once again performing their solos from last night once again. This showed us just how amazing our dancers are, and two will be going home. Before we find out who is going home, we have a performance by Chris Brown who got his start as a street dancer. The girls are up first once again, and without much fan fare we see Martha eliminated and then perform one last time. The men are up after a commercial break. Cat brings them up quickly, and we learn that Dimitry is going home. I thought he was one of the better men left in the competition. Seeing him go home is shocking, especially when you look at who he was up against and the comments made about Ryan last night. I think America might have got it very wrong here. What do you think America?
