Channing Cooke and Kevin Hunte are eliminatedVIDEO

Tonight’s results weren’t surprising on any level.   Even the bottom 3 tonight–Mollee and Nathan, Channing and Victor and Karen and Kevin–were predictable.

Not surprised Channing and Kevin ultimately went home, either.   With 3 B-boys left, it was time for one to go home.   Bye-bye Kevin.   You were a competent dancer, but you didn’t have the personality.   Ditto Channing.   And, when Karen strutted out on stage to The Doors, dressed in black leather, that was all the reminder Nigel needed of Karen’s sexiness. Oh yeah, she’ll be dancing next week.

Next week, Karen and Victor pair up, and we find out who makes the Top 10….

Videos and Recap, after the JUMP…

Group routine by Wade and Amanda Robson – “Aha” by Imogene Heap – Really dug that. A great piece from Wade and Amanda. – VIDEO

Nigel says some of the less technically proficient dancers are stepping it up. Next week, the dancers will perform two routines.

First two couples: Ashleigh and Jakob and Karen and Kevin. Ashleigh and Jakob are SAFE, Karen and Kevin are in danger. Adam calls them “elegant and poised” – VIDEO

2nd three couples: Ellenore and Ryan are safe (Yay). Noelle and Russell are safe. Channing and Victor are in danger. No surprises so far… – VIDEO.

3rd two couples: Mollee and Nathan and Kathryn and Legacy Kathryn and Legacy are SAFE. Mollee and Nathan are in danger. Nigel is looking forward to Mollee and Nathan’s solos–he doesn’t believe they belong in the B3 this week. – VIDEO

Bollywood by Nakul! –   “Desi Girl” Dostana (Original Soundtrack) – Fantastic and fun. – VIDEO

Solos: Karen (“Break on Through” by the Doors), Kevin (“Freeze” by T. Pain feat. Chris Brown,), Channing (“The Face” by RyanDan), Victor (“Baby’s Romance” by Chris Garneau) – VIDEO
Solos: Mollee (“Let Me Think About It – Radio Edit by Ida Corr vs. Eddie Le Grand), Nathan (“So Insane” by Discovery) – VIDEO

Nigel says he was pleased with a few of the solos, Mollee and Nathan in particular. (Nathan had the spin that would. not. end!)

Guitar sensation, Orianthi (She’s played for Carrie Underwood, Michael Jackson and Adam Lambert) performs “According to You”! – VIDEO

Elimination: – VIDEO

Girls: Nigel says the decision is unanimous, all are good enough to be in the Top 10. Nigel says Mollee now dances like a woman. She is SAFE. Nigels calls Karen a star, says Channing didn’t reveal her personality. Karen is SAFE. Channing Cooke is eliminated.

Boys: Again, the judges are unanimous. Nigel thinks Nathan learned “a hell of a lesson”. Nathan is SAFE. Nigel tells Kevin he looks uncomfortable in his routines. Says he’s got a long way to go. Victor is safe.   Kevin Hunte is eliminated

Safe:

  • Ashleigh and Jakob
  • Ellenore and Ryan
  • Noelle and Russell
  • Kathryn and Legacy

In Danger

  • Karen and Kevin
  • Channing and Victor
  • Mollee and Nathan

    Of course a Wade opening group number… FLoved it!!

  • http://www.twitter.com/sarahruth3 Sarah

    WOW. That group dance was FANTASTIC. Wade is freaking amazing. These group dances this year have been great so far. LOVE.

  • http://mjsbigblog.com/luvadamlamberts-american-idol-tour-2009-washington-dc-re-cap.htm luvadamlambert

    hopefully I’ll finally get a chance to watch this show at top 10.I’ve only seen a few episodes this season.

  • floridaboy8703

    Sigh that Wade Robson group routine was PHENOMENAL but sadly this has been one of the first and only pieces I have loved this year.

    I don’t know if its the new BIG stage that’s sucking the life out of the pieces.

    I don’t know if the dancers suck.

    I don’t know if we need revolving judges again.

    I don’t know if it’s the absence of Mia.

    But this season has been so lack luster.

    Where are the Laceys? Dannys? Sabras? Joshuas? Katies? Pashas? Travis?

    The Sweet Dreams? The Humming Bird/Flower?

    Sigh.

    This show should have never came to the fall.

  • http://www.twitter.com/sarahruth3 Sarah

    Whew. I’m so glad Ryan & Ellenore are safe. I voted for them 300 times last night because I didn’t trust America to keep them safe, even though the routine was incredible. LOL.

    I also voted about 150 times for Russell & Noelle. Because Foxtrots don’t generally garner a ton of votes and I wanted to make sure they were safe. Heh.

    So both of these couples won’t be in the b3, so that means either Legacy/Kathryn or Mollee/Nathan will be. Eeek.

    ETA: Channing is growing on me. I hope they don’t send her home.

  • butte009

    ETA: Channing is growing on me. I hope they don’t send her home.

    You just know Nigel wants to send Victor/Channing home. He’s been dissing them since the start.

  • gossipgirl630

    i think if mollee and nathan are in the bottom Nigel might send them home.. kathryn and legacy shouldn’t be in the bottom for their routine last night if they are I’ll be shocked. tbh, i dont want to see either of these couples in the bottom.

  • butte009

    If I had my way I’d send Kevin and Mollee home right now.

    ETA: Fun Bollywood. :)

  • gangreen29

    I think Kevin and Channing are going home. I am shocked the tweens didn’t kep Mollee and Nathan out of the bottom.

  • http://www.twitter.com/sarahruth3 Sarah

    Nathan’s gonna be a big draw for the tour, so I doubt they cut him. They may take this chance to get rid of Mollee though. I’d rather lose her than Channing. Please, Nigel???

  • gossipgirl630

    you know the judges would do anything to keep karen in the competition.. even if she doesn’t have an amazing solo tonight they’ll probably keep her. she’s clearly one of their favorites..if mollee and nathan don’t have amazing solos.. i’m pretty sure nigel will cut them everyone knows he wants to.

  • gossipgirl630

    i’[ll guarantee you that nigel keeps karen. they love her. out of the girls i’d much rather see mollee go home than channing. mollee has just been getting on my nerves lately. for the guys i’m not sure who they’d keep. nigel may choose to cut both nathan and mollee and i wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

  • galaxygrrl

    “If I had my way I’d send Kevin and Mollee home right now.”

    Please send Mollee home.

  • gangreen29

    I didn’t like Karen’s solo, Kevin started off good but was sloppy at the end. Channing was just boring flailing. I could watch Victor spin for hours…lol.

  • http://www.twitter.com/sarahruth3 Sarah

    Victor’s solo was technically great, but I dunno… I guess I just don’t “get” him because I wasn’t feeling it. Channing still didn’t have her “breakthrough,” but like I said, she’s been growing on me. I’d rather keep her than Mollee.

    And as I said – Nathan is going to be a BIG draw for the tour. As long as his solo doesn’t suck ass, I doubt Nigel will cut him.

  • butte009

    nigel may choose to cut both nathan and mollee and i wouldn’t be surprised if he did.

    He may want to just to be a prick, but he knows he needs to keep Nathan until the Tour if he wants to make more $.

    ETA: I don’t need an aerial to the knee…. I see my 7 year old do it all the time at gymnastics because she doesn’t get enough height. :lol:

  • http://www.twitter.com/sarahruth3 Sarah

    Eh, none of the girls had great solos. Mollee’s was just full of tricks, Channing’s was boring flailing (tm gangreen), and Karen’s didn’t make sense at all.

    Nathan’s solo was good. I like how he kinda fused contemporary aspects with popping/locking.

    Based on the solos, I’d send Kevin home. I dunno which girl.

  • izzitme

    Somebody tell me what ETA means… Not estimated time of arrival I assume!

  • gossipgirl630

    so channing’s out..maybe nigel will cut one whole couple this time

  • butte009

    Edited to add :)

  • izzitme

    Whoa… didn’t see that coming! Channing isn’t one of my faves but I certainly didn’t see her leaving this early!

  • izzitme

    Thanks butte009!

  • izzitme

    Pretty much that means Victor is leaving, right?

  • http://www.twitter.com/sarahruth3 Sarah

    gangreen, you called it spot on! How do you do that?! lol.

  • izzitme

    Well… I expected Kevin to leave… so now Karen is with Victor… she may eat him alive as well LOL

  • gossipgirl630

    am the only one here who doesn’t really like karen?? something about her just annoys me.

  • galaxygrrl

    “Nigel says Mollee now dances like a woman”

    Wanna see her do a sexy latin dance again. Then we will see. Personally, I think Mollee is suffering from being a virgin. :)

  • butte009

    Dang. I was imaging how great the show would be without Mollee’s annoying perkiness. Sooooooo close. {sniffle}

  • butte009

    am the only one here who doesn’t really like karen?? something about her just annoys me.

    She’s no where near as annoying to me as Mollee.

    Although I’m nowhere near the fan of Karen that Simon is, I do think that she was anchored down by Kevin. I think she’ll do better with Victor.

  • izzitme

    You are probably right butte009… Karen was always better than Kevin.. even in the hiphop number.

  • izzitme

    So now I guess we have our top 10 and two alternates!

  • osounique

    I was really hoping Mollee would’ve been eliminated tonight…I actually liked Channing, she was starting to come out of her shell. I really don’t see what the judges (and my husband lol) see in Karen…. Not sure if I’ll like the pairing of her & Victor!

  • SpenserJ

    I would have tossed Mollee instead of Channing, because I think Channing is better. But, all three of those girls are pretty snoozeworthy to me so far, so I didn’t really care too much either way.

    I’ll miss Kevin’s pretty face (I’m fascinated by his nearly perfect bone structure) but it was definitely his time.

  • Miss Chaos

    Karen showed a real bad attitude when she went safe, not to sure why, Channing seem so out of her element, just so shy or nervous, I loved Mollee’s solo. Not to sure why Nigel is pimping Nathan, prolly got a lot of heat for getting on him so bad last week, and I never saw what he did so wrong.

  • baddabing

    I think the choices were right tonight, actually. Kevin (second the perfect bone structure – yum) was reaching what felt like his limit, Channing just not showing up aside from good technique.

    Now…that Wade piece was just awesome. Love the influence his wife is having on the art direction!

  • glitter

    Well I was 1/2 right Kevin went home. So the next 2 to go will be Channing and Victor.

  • stellamarris

    What people have against Karen? She is a wonderful dancer and looks like a very nice gentle person. She does not talk much but her dance is very exuberant and sexy. Perhaps Americans do not feel comfortable with that type of sexuality, maybe Nigel was right after all…

    I for one am happy that Kevin (in spite of his perfect bone structure) was the one to leave today, and I wanted Noelle to go but if it’s not her– than I guess CHanning should be out.

  • suebrody

    I was wrong on Karen but right on Kevin. I like Victor, but I agree, he and Karen go home next week. And leave Jakob alone, America! SAVE JACKOB!

  • Grammie Kari

    I had to go to my daughter’s house to vote, but got the full points(plus bonus). Yay!

    Mollee did do a nice job on her solo. I can’t imagine the TOP 10 without Karen.

  • glitter

    Oops I meant Mollee and Victor.

  • glitter

    (Nathan had the spin that would. not. end!)

    Yes MJ and I thought it was peculiar that the judges complained about Victor’s spin and that he always spins. wtf lol

  • BootStar

    Ugh, I’m so sick of Mollee. Make her go away!

    I felt bad for Channing and thought she upped her game tonight, but she has really lacked charisma up to now. I like Victor, so I’m glad they let Kevin go, pretty as he is. Legacy and Russell are much better in that genre.

    Loved that Wade routine and the Bollywood one too. The only thing I was truly underwhelmed with tonight was that Orianthe performance; she’s a great guitarist, but I was not impressed with her singing. I guess she’s the Next Big Thing. Whatever.

  • Dlynne

    I LOVED the opening dance and the Bollywood routine. Outstanding.

    I really thought they would send Karen home. Her solo was not good. Maybe they just want to give her another chance with a different partner. But I don’t think she’ll be around long if she continues to look pissed off all the time. I liked Channing so much more.

    I didn’t realize until tonight that Orianthi played guitar on one of Adam Lambert’s tracks on his album. It happens to be one of my favorite songs. Her song, however, was not that great. Love her guitar playing though.

  • bmms

    Ugh! Mollee and Nathan should have been eliminated, not Channing & Kevin. M & N are so immature and taking this entire show as some joke, at least that is what they have perceived to this fan of the show, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I cannot believe Nygel’s comment about Mollee’s solo. Big deal on her routine. The judges should have never selected them for the top 20. They should’ve waited one or two years at least to bring them back. What good does it do that Nathan is a great dancer as the judges think he is, when his entire attitude stinks. Besides the immaturity, Nathan is so condescending and a brat. Mark my word, Nate will be gone if not next week, but there is no way he will be in the finale. The same for Mollee. Why? The other dancers are proving themselves and getting stronger and they have a mature and embracing attitude about the entire experience, thus far. When the season started I did not care for Ashleigh but now that I’ve seen her performances, she has really shined week after week and her attitude has turned around to a positive. Love Jakob, Legacy and Victor. Love Karen, Elleanore and Kathryn. And to those that think Karen is a snob, wrong! She is civil, polite and was modest when she heard that she was safe.

  • Grammie Kari

    I agree Lynne! I love the introduction of Bollywood on SYTYCD. Some are more complicated than others, but tonight we saw professionals. Wonderful!

    Right now, I am thinking that Noelle may go next week. It will be interesting to see if there is chemistry between Victor and Karen. Kathryn remains my favorite girl on the show.

  • JosieX

    Yeah, I can understand the comments about Karen looking pissed off all the time. She is probably a lovely girl, but she does have kind of a “hard” expression. Nathan looks kind of…vacant.

    I must be in a cranky mood because I didn’t like either one of the group routines and I don’t care for that Orianthi either. I don’t have a favorite yet although I do think that Noelle and Russell are both very charming and fun to watch.

  • tiger92

    Mollee and Nathan will make it into the top ten, even if they do the chicken dance next week. They will get the “OMG-bottom three” vote from the tween and teen girlies.

    I really didn’t care if any of the bottom three were sent home tonight. They could have sent them all as far as I was concerned.

    Victor must have a bizarre center of gravity. It’s strange-usually tall people have more problems with that.
    He and Nathan are gifted in that area.

  • sunchick

    That Wade piece was spectacular. Goosebumps. Rivals Ramalama even. I thought it was cool that the three groups of statues each had a slightly different dance language, yet it was all Wade. Also, in case I haven’t mentioned it…Wade is hot.

    I know Nathan gets a lot of crap that’s rightfully deserved, but it’s like he’s two completely different dancers sometimes, and one of them is mature beyond his years and brilliant. The other dances with Mollee. He was actually pretty fabulous in the Wade piece, and his solo was the best solo so far this season. I really enjoyed that. I’m starting to think he kind of dances down to Mollee’s dance maturity level and pairing them up was a mistake. The best partnerships this season are the ones with two different energies that naturally push the dancers to sort of stretch in new directions, like Jakob/Ashleigh, Legacy/Kathryn, Ellenore/Ryan.

    What people have against Karen? She is a wonderful dancer and looks like a very nice gentle person.

    Her solo seemed like it was lifted from a strip club? Yeah, so ballroom specialists don’t traditionally wow people with their solos (Benji might be the exception.) But that was awkward.

  • butte009

    I’m starting to think he kind of dances down to Mollee’s dance maturity level and pairing them up was a mistake.

    I would agree with this. He excels in the group numbers and solos. So, for me at least, Mollee is the problem for him. But since Nigel loves his young, perky blondes we’ll be stuck with her until we get to vote for individuals and the judges can’t save her.

  • lucy

    Is it just me or does Mollee just not seem very musical? No doubt she can do tricks, but I just don’t see her connecting with the music much, either in the partners dances or in her solos? … All that praising Nigel was doing last night baffled me, since it seems to me he’s come down hard before on people he deemed tricksters but who seemed to me to be more connected to the music than she is. The piece was impressive trick-wise, but, as usual, for me for you, I just didn’t get it, when it came to the music.

    So great to have a wonderful Wade piece. And the Bollywood was fabulous. Loved their sharp movements.

  • bmms

    I agree! I also think that some people think that she is mad all the time. I get just the opposite from her. She is MATURE (unlike some other contestants), graceful and dedicated to her craft. When Nigel mentioned that she was safe, Karen bowed her head down before she left the stage. I believe that this is called modesty and sincerity. I did not expect for her to be jumping up and down with a big smile on her face. She is a serious dancer, who has also demonstrated her ‘girly silly’ side. I also notice that she is very focused when the judges are making their comments, she does not take anything in vain. I prefer a mature dancer, any day.

  • bmms

    Ugh, I’m so sick of Mollee. Make her go away!

    I felt bad for Channing and thought she upped her game tonight, but she has really lacked charisma up to now. I like Victor, so I’m glad they let Kevin go, pretty as he is. Legacy and Russell are much better in that genre.

    Your my new best friend. ;-) We have the power of making her go away and Nathan too. By voting our fingers off next week. I’m determined in getting them removed. What makes me cringe everytime I see these two, is that they give the impression that this competition is something to just get by and yet are all giddy and laughing or annoyeds when the judges are trying to put some intelligent constructive criticsm into their heads. They just don’t get it! I recall in Season 5, there was a beautiful, graceful, MATURE, yet witty, intelligent, bubbly, and all around American girl dancer… Jeanine Mason, the winner. I did not know that she was 18 years old! Throughout the entire (season 5) I thought she was maybe 20 or 21. My point is that Mollee is the same age and is just the opposite. And Nathan, UGH!!! I also recall seeing a segment from Idoltary with Michael Slezak (spelling allright?) a few days ago, and the episode had the opening number of the Brady Bunch and instead of ‘Cindy’s’ face appearing, it was Mollee’s… enough said.

  • Virginia5

    I love Nathan and his solo last night shows why he deserves to be there. He is a humble and a very talented dancer and performer. At 18, there are varying levels of overall maturity so I can never say that just b/c one person is 18 and is mature, that all 18 year olds should be as mature. It just doesn’t work that way! And so far, I haven’t seen anything that indicates that he isn’t a mature person, but yes he does have a playful and joking side. Heck, I’m in my 30s and I’m like that too. But in the end does that make me this annoying, immature person who doesn’t appreciate anything and doesn’t listen to constructive advice when given to me?

    As for his pairing with Mollee, I thought it was a bad one from the very start, before they even stepped foot onto the dance floor. Two young contemporary dancers first of all? Why? Why would they do that? That by itself kind of surprised me. And then personality wise, there are plenty of other dancers they could have paired them with to complement one another better. In this respect I was wishing Mollee to go home so he could be paired with Karen. It would work so much better to be honest.

    “”Karen showed a real bad attitude when she went safe”"

    and after she finished her solo, she gave me a bad vibe, like take that, I AM better than all of you, funny – she is probably opposite of that but it is just what I am getting from her at this point. I have absolutely nothing against her sexuality and the way she is able to express it, she dances well but this is your favorite and her attitude is off puting (ha, is that a word?) to me not her sexiness. They are all sexy at one time or another so Nigel is wrong that Americans will be put off by that, it is her hard expression I guess? Her solo was more like a variety of pose’s more than dancing to me

  • SpenserJ

    Perhaps Americans do not feel comfortable with that type of sexuality, maybe Nigel was right after all’ ¦

    America’s a pretty big place, with lots of diverse people. I’ve yet to find the single thing that all American’s are comfortable with or uncomfortable with. Heck, I even know some American’s who hate apple pie.

    I have no issue with Karen’s being a hot tamale, and I find her quite talented. I just don’t find her as compelling as some of the other ladies, or as interesting to watch. She bores me a little.

  • bmms

    I was wishing Mollee to go home so he could be paired with Karen. It would work so much better to be honest.

    That will ruin all of Karen’s chances. She is way better off with Victor, he’s funny and can be a ‘kid’ at times WITHOUT the annoying immature attitude. Plus, I really like him.

    The one thing that completely turned me off about Nathan was his stupid comment when Nigel was providing his advise after the disaster salsa routine. He responded “I was feeling hot”! He is such a snob and is feeding off of the teeny boppers by thinking that he is so gorgeous, not. I don’t care for anyone that has an attitude or thinks of themselves so highly and above everyone else that it shows even if they breath. I just do not like him at all, never will.

    And what is wrong with Nigel, critizing Victor’s perfect spins and not mentioning ANYTHING negative about Nate’s within his solo. UGH!!!!

  • bmms

    Is it just me or does Mollee just not seem very musical? No doubt she can do tricks, but I just don’t see her connecting with the music much, either in the partners dances or in her solos? ‘ ¦ All that praising Nigel was doing last night baffled me, since it seems to me he’s come down hard before on people he deemed tricksters but who seemed to me to be more connected to the music than she is.

    Agree! It seems Mollee is Nigel’s new ‘pet’. He keeps pimping her and after one solo (last night) he mentions that ‘now she dances like a women’. Whatever.

  • Tara

    Kevin was clearly the right guy. The ladies were not so easy to pick from for me.

    I loved the intro piece. No secret I am a Nathan fan. He is an excellent dancer. I am not going to pretend to “know” him. I stop the videos every now and then to see who is in sinc and who is not. Nathan has fantastic timing. So sharp. And his poses (which is what they look like when you stop the video) are so nice. Stop the intro a few times and enjoy his lines. gorgeous. Compare him to Russell on the opening. You’ll see the difference. And I love Russell. He can dance. He has a great personality. But it just isn’t the same level as Nathan. Jakob is another one. Just gorgeous. It would be a crime for either of this guys to be cut before the top 5

  • wand3rful

    What people have against Karen? She is a wonderful dancer and looks like a very nice gentle person. She does not talk much but her dance is very exuberant and sexy. Perhaps Americans do not feel comfortable with that type of sexuality, maybe Nigel was right after all’ ¦

    she’s latina so it seems people have automatically associated her with being sassy, fiesty although the girl has been soft spoken and sweet the entire competition. and i say this due to the odd/random/rude comments ive seen on EW and such. i read a post from a girl who was uncomfortable with karen’s “lewd” hip hop routine, which she claimed was inappropriate. heh.

    I like the girl, I think she’s could be in the top 6 along with Ellenore and Kathryn. Although Ash is also gaining momentum. I still believe once individual voting begins, Mollee might be the first female to leave.

    Loved Wade’s routine, especially since Jakob was heavily featured :)

  • wand3rful

    Her solo seemed like it was lifted from a strip club?

    ha, why? the girl is attractive ….what makes her solo strip worthy? should we put mollee in the same category? she did wear leather faux tights, sport a tiny bra and thurst her hips all over the floor.

    me thinks nigel’s comment about karen’s sexuality being threatning might stem from posts he’s seen on their board.

  • wand3rful

    Victor will go home next week. I hope they save karen and toss out Noelle. i had to look up her name, she just doesnt stand out.

    Jakob, FTW :) although legacy, kathryn and ellenore are up there with him. love all 4. russ i okay, i think he’s slightly over-rated. nathan is good, but i prefer jakob over him in terms of contemporary technique. plus jakob seems to shine in other styles. (IMO). still early in the competition, anything could happen.

  • funshine

    Karen showed a real bad attitude when she went safe, not sure why

    Um, I didn’t get that vibe at all. She looked down when she knew she was safe, probably to show modesty and empathize with her competitor, Channing who just got eliminated. What should she have done? Gloated and waved to the audience? I don’t think that’s her style, and that’s one of the reasons I really like her. She seems to get along well with the other dancers, and she was really tearing up when Kevin got eliminated.

    She is definitely a sexy dancer, but she is also extremely talented, and I really hope audiences don’t see her as just a “hot vixen.” She actually seems like a really nice girl, and kind of different from the usual crowd.

  • Stephen Garcia

    It is definitely going to be harder to pair down.
    Because even if say Victor ends up with both
    too few votes and the weaker man, he is very
    interesting to me visually and socially.

    I do think he and Karen could end up pulling
    through a week or two if they end up getting
    pulling something for La Raza out of the hat.

    Here’s hoping…and still somewhat not. Because,
    who would I want to go home in their place?

    I mean I have no trouble picking one of the ladies:
    Kathryn at the top of my list…and really any of
    them I’d like to see leave more than Karen…
    …and I know it won’t be Mollee…

    But when it comes to the boys: Eee ghads!
    Can we eliminate Phillip a second time :)
    IT really HAS to be Victor…and right when he’s
    getting a more interesting partner :(

    OH well.

    Stephen.

  • Grammie Kari

    Um, I didn’t get that vibe at all. She looked down when she knew she was safe, probably to show modesty and empathize with her competitor, Channing who just got eliminated.

    I meant to comment on the remark. I think if a person likes Karen, there was nothing wrong with her response. She may have even been surprised. I think there are many layers to her personality and her dancing. I want to see her with Ryan as a partner.
