'So You Think You Can Dance': Comfort goes home again. Will joins her.
A group number kicks off the program. It's modern and a lot better than last week's, and choreographed by a first-timer, whose name I miss. I need DVR.
Judge Toni says dancing is her drug. Nigel urges those who vote for dancers to vote for the president. Time for results:
First up, Katee.
She's safe (no big surprise there).
Next is Will. He's been in the bottom before (when he was paired with Jessica). I realize seeing clips of last night that I like him more than I thought. But America disagrees. Among the men, he's in the bottom two (I thought it was going to be a bottom three. Given the reduced pool of contestants, this makes sense.) Then comes Comfort. Among women, she's in the bottom (as expected). Her partner Mark does not suffer the same fate.
Chelsea is safe, which puts Courtney in the bottom two. They show her backtage; she's not smiling.
Twitch (yay!) is up next. He's in the bottom (boo!). He crouches down on the stage and is visibly upset. That means Joshua is in.
Next, "The Man I Love" from Who Cares? performed by the Los Angeles Ballet. (Gotta fill this whole hour!)
Solos are up next. The performances won't change the results, though. Comfort dances to "Like This" by Mims. It's a lot better than her solo last night; perhaps she took Nigel's advice? Will dances to a song that I don't get the name of. It's really different than last night's solo, and Cat notes that. Nigel says Will and Twitch were the best performers of last night. He thinks "America" might have thought they'd be safe, so it didn't vote for them.
Courtney dances to "Passion" by Keesha Turner. It's fun and spunky. I hope Twitch follows suit, and he does, dancing to "Hollywood Swingin' " from Kool and the Gang.
Next up, LL Cool J. No way! He represents Queens, she was raised out in Brooklyn! His new song ("Baby?") doesn't really compare to those '90s hits. There's a lot of jumping and hand waving in the the audience.
OK, who's gone? Comfort's out. She takes a look back at her "hits" again. A bit of deja vu. Will is heading home, too. I can't help but think if he were paired with Katee or Chelsea at the beginning he would have lasted a bit longer ...
A big group hug ends the show. What do you think about the results?
Comments
Whoa! I was shocked that Will went home. I guess it's probably because he doesn't show as much personality as the other three. It was honestly no surprise to me that Comfort went home. She's a great dancer, but I don't think she can transform herself as much as the other ladies. I'm pretty sure that a male is going to win this season, yet again.

I believe Will went home because people (well, I know I was) were sick of the Judges' constant praise and overlooking all of his mistakes.
I voted for Mark as I felt that they did not give him fair credit for last night's performance (instead constantly critiquing Comfort) and I liked his dancing better than Will.
Plus, Mark gets two "weak" partners two weeks in a row, and gets two bad dances in a row (Two-step, foxtrot). I have to say I was expecting him to be with Comfort and get the quickstep (I was close!) as the judges didn't want him ruining their grand schemes of Will winning. Oops. :)

I am so sad to see Will go--he is an amazing dancer. Nobody could have danced routines like the pas de deux, and the Tyce Diorio Adam & Eve one like he did. I wish Twitch had gone home instead - he is great, but not as versatile as Will.
I'm glad Mark is still there though, I though he danced that hip-hop number last night really well.
If I am remembering correctly from previous seasons, once they get to the top 6 they switch partners for every routine, as opposed to having the same one for the whole episode, right?

I actually picked up the phone to vote for Mark, so it was really gratifying to see his look of shock when he was not in the bottom two. I would have preferred to keep Will over Twitch. They are both talented dancers, but I can recall many more of Will's routines than Twitch's.
I like Courtney, Chelsea and Katee--my top three girls, for sure.
