So You Think You Can Dance Results Show Recap

As always we’ll be keeping you informed on the latest So You Think You Can Dance results show recap.

Fade in. Pan up. Cat Deeley warns us that it’s Thursday and we, America, are sending someone home. I feel guilty enough starting this recap with “Fade in. Pan up,” and now you’re blaming me for sending someone home. Oof.

The remaining cast kicks off the night with a group number. Tonight is an elegant tribal theme, the cast donning feathers in their hair and what appear to be tattered cargo pants from the forgotten cargo-pant boom of 1998. White light floods the stage, dancers hold their final poses…and that smooth, smooth booming voice introduces Ms. Deeley.

Cat tells us that we sent in 5 million votes to make our voices heard during tonight’s results show. Cat then welcomes our happy hosts, Nigel, Mary and special guest judge, Debbie Allen. Citing a tight schedule for the night, Cat brings out the first of the lambs to the stage. Lauren and Neil stand beside Lacey and Kameron. After the recaps, Cat tells our little lambs that Lacey and Kameron our safe! Over to Mary, she’s shocked that Neil and Lauren are headed to the bottom three couples to dance their solos.

Jaimie and Hok flashback to last night and the judges gush over their performance. America, you shouted from the tallest cell towers in the land…Jaimie and Hok are safe. The braid lives on. Dominic and Sabra are called to the front of the class by Deeley. Cat tells Dominic and Sabra that…they are going to have to wait a little longer as she turns to Jesus and Sara. The judges loved their performance, but did the United States of America? Dancing for survival, Sara and Jesus! America, what are you thinking? I’m going to come and take your phones away if you keep this up. Cat demands a commercial break!

When Cat fires up the show again, we flashback to Jessi’s unfortunate trip to the hospital. This left Pasha without a partner until Tony Meredith’s assistant, Melanie, stepped into Jessi’s spot. Cat informs the crowds that Jessi is out of the hospital and cleared to dance. But due to rules of the sacred SYTYCD Handbook, Jessi will automatically be dancing for her life…which is weird to say since she just left a hospital. Anyway, Cat tells the crowd that as a special treat, Pasha and Jessi will get to do the dance they were supposed to. Jessi looks in full form and well rested while Pasha expectedly hits every step again. This couple it HOTTT, but we’ll have to see if Jessi can save herself later tonight.

Two couples left, Shauna and Cedric, Anya and Danny. Mary thinks Cedric should be out. TENSION! Anya and Danny look nervous, but they’re reminded that Debbie loved their moves and Nigel told them they performed on a much higher level. Which is the last couple in the final three tonight?

Anya and Danny, go get dressed for your solos.

Lauren hits the stage first and quickly skimps down her outfit. She pops, she splits, she smiles and all of that to “Popozao” by Kevin Federline. And thankfully, due to the skimping and splitting, my brain focuses all power to my eyes and shuts down my ears to avoid “Popozao” being lodged into my brain. Neil glides on stage to “Come On” by Ben Jelen and does what Neil does best. He flips and spins in the air. I’m getting dizzy watching this. Not sure if it’s Neil or the radiation from my 1986 TV/VCR combo TV sitting a few inches from my face.

Who’s next!? Sara blasts off to “Ladies First” by Queen Latifah! Sara starts with a kick-turn off the stage steps. She is my hip-hop princess. Sara cuts around the stage like a crazy, hot top spinning for the judge’s hearts. Jesus is the next into the judge’s pit-of-dance! His song choice, “What I Like About You” by The Romantics. Perhaps there’s a secret message in the title of that song for the judges. Jesus balances a combo of ballet moves and hip-hop attitude.

Cat tells us that the remaining dancers are after the break, as well as a performance by Fergie! Who knew? I wish there was a website I could go to in order to get all the SYTYCD news, recaps and bios about my favorite contestants. Maybe one day.

Jessi slows it down with a performance to “Ice Box” by Omarion. Jessi looks under control out there, especially after just returning from the hospital. The crowd loves it.
Danny jumps onto the stage with “A Song For You” by Elliot Yamin over the loud speakers. Danny is a master, coordinating his kicks and spins with the lyrics of the song.

Anya, the final solo, starts. “Fields of Gold” by Eva Cassidy fuels the romance of Anya’s moves. But I can’t take my eyes of a LOT of blue fringe. Neon blue fringe. So much. And well placed. Scamper along Anya, so the judges can go back stage and figure out who to cut.

Fergie’s up! Fergie does works the place and in some high, high heels. They’re like stilts. Designer stilts. What!? Ludacris just came out of the crowd! Was he always there, or is he a SYTYCD fan just like us!? I can’t look at the heels anymore, I don’t want to be witness to that degree of ankle injury.

It’s cuttin’ time! The dancers line up on stage, girls are getting the spotlight first. Nigel notes that they are not unanimous about their decision, but in the Court of Dance, majority rules. Nigel warns all the girls that they need to step up all of their performances, otherwise they could all be going home. After that, he doesn’t mess around and calls Jessi up. “I’m sorry, but we’re going to lose you tonight,” he tells her. Apparently, Nigel is using the tear-off-the-bandaid theory here. The guys stand nervously in a firing line, the judges decision was unanimous but they did not want to make it. Nigel tells Neil and Danny that they were outstanding in the solos. But Jesus however, did not perform as he should have.

Pack your bags, Jessi and Jesus. Maybe we’ll fly you back home in first class.
