So You Think You Can Dance Results 6/28. Our Top 16...

The show opens with a Tyce Diorio Broadway routine that is at times really cool and times really mundane. They don’t spend any time before getting into the results. First called onto the stage are Lauren and Neil and Lacey and Kameron. Of these two, Lauren and Neil deserve to be in the bottom 3. Lauren is shocked that they don’t immediately tell them their fate. And…. Lauren and Neil ARE in the bottom 3 while Lacey and Kameron are safe. Mary is shocked that they are standing there, when she didn’t have many kind words for their dance yesterday. Short-term memory loss Mary?

The next group features Jamie and Hok, Sabra and Dominic, and Jesus and Sara. From this group, Sara and Jesus are the two that deserve to be in the bottom. Jamie and Hok are safe, but that’s a surprise to absolutely no one. I’d be really surprised to see Dom and Sabra in the bottom, considering they got a Mary Murphy scream. Sara and Jesus’ krumping wasn’t that bad, it just wasn’t as good as the other pairs, which have all been stepping up their game.

Jessi is now out of the hospital and has been cleared to dance for her life. We get the Cha Cha that we were supposed to see last night, with both Jessi and Pasha and it’s markedly better than the one we actually saw last night because it has the crucial element missing from last night, believable sexiness. Jessi brings something hot that the assistant was lacking last night and allows for some more acrobatic moves that Pasha just couldn’t have pulled off with the assistant. The look damn good together. Jessi does her best to get every girl to love Pasha. After watching the improved routine, Pasha pulled off safety with the worse partner. Shauna and Cedric and Danny and Anya are brought out and one of these couples is in the bottom 3. It better be Shauna and Cedric. Danny and Anya rocked their hip-hop in my opinion, for both being out of their comfort zone. But the world is not perfect, and Shauna and Cedric are safe and Danny and Anya are in the bottom 3. Is there a way we can get rid of Cedric anyways? Bring back Jimmy. He would have nailed that Mia routine so much better. Nigel says that 5 million Americans got it wrong, and without actually implying it, says they were responsible for saving Shauna and Cedric because it allowed Cedric to give that speech.

Solo Time:

Lauren: She seems to waste a lot of her time walking. Once she actually starts dancing, she’s pretty good. And I have to give her credit for dancing to Popozao by K-Fed. She clearly has a sense of humor.

Neil: Neil does a lot of jumping and spinning, but his solo is pretty darn fantastic. He seems to have put his all into it.

Sara: I think this is the first time I’ve actually seen her do her style and B-girl Sara does a really lively and good solo in 30 seconds. I enjoyed it.

Jesus: His solo is like a Rock version of an Mia Michael’s choreographed solo. A good amount of energy and fun went into it though.

Jessi: Jessi goes the hip-hop routine tonight and it’s the weakest female solo so far. Maybe just in the wake of Sara’s awesome routine, but it’s only mildly impressive. But then again, she was hospitalized earlier this week, so I can’t be that harsh.

Danny: Danny shows precisely why he’s gonna make the final four. He’s so fluid and easy in his movements, his spins look absolutely effortless, and it’s just a really impressive routine.

Anya: I take back what I said. THIS is the weakest solo. Anya doesn’t really do a whole lot up there, and, as Cat notes, the costume is really something. Way too distracting.

Fergie’s performance is up now. I honestly have no idea why Fergie is a popular recording artist. Her songs are weak, her performance is fairly weak, and she can’t really dance. I don’t know how she landed Josh Duhamel. For a while it seems like she’s lip-syncing as well, but then it may be only for the choruses. Ludacris infuses some energy and life into the performance, but I still hate the song. Fergie’s dancers all abandon the stage as soon as it’s over, leaving her standing there awkwardly.

Here come the final results. The girls are up and it’s not unanimous. Nigel says that none of them were strong enough to consider that dancing for their life. Nigel very quickly calls Jessi forward and eliminates her. Both Jessi and Cat are very surprised. I’m guessing that it was pre-established that she was leaving though, because I just got a vibe. Pasha is the thing that Jessi will remember most. The guys are up and it is unanimous this week. They tell Neil that he was outstanding tonight. Danny was outstanding tonight as well. Jesus is the one who is leaving tonight, even though he was really good for the rest of the season. Personally, I would have dumped Neil. He was a lot weaker overall. Jesus seems lost for words, and is pleased that he could of at least helped kids find their dreams and he leaves with no regrets. Cedric really should have gone home this week. Next week we’ll see the new pairing of Pasha and Sara. It should be interesting to say the least.
