So You Think You Can Dance – Top 14 Results – Recap

Does anyone suspect that Cat Deeley is preggers? The dresses she has worn the last three shows seem to indicate a tummy. Just wondering and I guess time will tell.

Why is he getting so much attention? He quit Vegas without even trying. I canà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t watch this double-jointed weirdnessà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬ ¦

Damn skippy girlfriend. Don’t let the quitter back on the show – especially in a spotlighted fashion. He fucking quit. He should be dead to them.

dam* I like Kourtni and Matt! The wrong couple went home! Boo

Grrr. Sniff. Grrr. I cannot decide on an emotion. However I knew I was right – if one went, so would the other. *SIGH*

I’m mad that Matt was eliminated. I’m mad that Thayne WASN’T eliminated. I’m mad that I dropped from 3rd to 10th in the pool.

Geeze, I’m turning into Bax!

How did Jessica survive? I don’t get the appeal of Comfort but I felt Kourtni was better than the both of them.

Matt is poetry in motion; Thayne too much cheezin. Why does he smile so much?

I feel bad for all the Matt lovers. (I really liked him, too, in a “love child of Tommy Tune and Travis” kind of way.) But I thought all three guys turned in terrific solos, so how do you pick? I can’t say I would’ve chosen differently, because Thayne just seemed to be throwing everything out there, plus I liked the WSS number yesterday. Yeah, I know he’s a grinning freak, but he turned that off nicely for the waltz.

As for the women… I don’t even like Khourtni, but UGH. Comfort did another ho-hum solo — not even bad enough to be good in a hot mess way — and she gets to stay. That blows, even if I knew it was going to happen. It’s the Too Many Blondes rule. If three out of seven girls are blonde, one of ‘em has to go, and it sure wasn’t going to be Chelsie or Kherington. I think we all know that Joshua/Katee, Twitch/Kherington and Mark/Chelsie will make the top ten and the tour. That leaves two more boys and two more girls to make the cutoff. Will is pretty much of a given, and the judges seem to love them some Gev and Courtney. I think Thayne can kiss his ass goodbye, although he may make it as the swing dancer for the tour because he’s fairly versatile. (He’s no Chuy, but I guess he’ll do. I’d rather have Matt, but I don’t see them using him because he really isn’t that versatile.) Comfort seems more popular with the judges than Jessica, but if Will/Jessica don’t make the B3, then they won’t have the chance to dump her. But next week… Will and Jessica are gonna HAVE to be in the B3. Somebody’s gotta, and I still don’t think it will be Joshua/Katee, Twitch/Kherington or Mark/Chelsie.

It’s so weird that next week is when Anya went last season. I mean, she was SO good. I don’t like any of the girls the way I liked Anya. Anybody going out in Anya’s position makes it seem like not such a bad thing.

I missed the entire show (my mom continously insists on going out to shop every Thursday night and not coming back home until way after 9…ugh), but maybe it’s just better I don’t watch anything now. But from what I heard from all the chat peeps…FUCK YOU, NIGEL.

Now. If PermaThmile does not fucking leave this show next week and somehow makes it to the tour, I don’t think I can bring myself to watch anymore.

/pottymouth

I must be a weirdo but I like Robert. I think it would be awesome to have a dance off on the finale. He quit because he can only do 1 style. I think his goal was to be able to be seen, which he did but if he would have been cut down by Nigel because he couldn’t do the Vienese Waltz, well I give him props for quiting before being publicly humilated going up against extremely talented dancers. Even so, after the crowd obviously loved him tonight, Nigel still gave some stinging barbs. Yes, he quit, but he has some incredible moves; they just don’t compare with the other trained dancers!

How, how, how can they still want Comfort on the show. She was all kinds of bad in her solo …. AGAIN! And she has never done a great job in any dance. She’s been okay in some of them, but has never had a really good performance. Her best move was when she was perfectly still in the lift last night (in their waltz).

I thought Khourtni had a great solo, tonight. And her dance performances have overall, been a lot better than Comfort’s.
All you strategizers must be right … there must be some other reason they want Comfort on the show.

I thought all 3 guys solos were great. But Thayne should’ve gone home.

Blast. The results are not turning out the way I think they should. I will throw something at the tv next week if Comfort and Thayne do not GO HOME!

Did anyone like the opening number? Too weird for me. And I agree with you guys — get the quitter off the screen. Boo!

I missed the show but thank you for the recap. I was wrong on ALL counts, lol. I didn’t even get the bonus questions right :rolleyes_wp:

Well, poop. I would have voted off Thane and Comforth, myselthf. I did not want to see his teeth or her pointy elbows again.

Ya know, I think if Khourtni could just have managed to seem truly happy some of the time, she’d have fared better. She always seemed sad to me. Maybe it was just nerves.

Was I the only one who thought Khourtni and Matt were cool/cold to each other at the end? They turned away from one another, no hugging, no nothin’. But maybe that came earlier, off camera.

p.s. I was wowed by Gev’s solo.

Peeved about the results, after seeing the solos tonight.
Comfort’s stunk up the room, girl is so one note, do not see the growth here at all- she will now make the tour, while Jessica/Courtney likely will get the axe next wk.
Courtney G’s solo was terrific, she is adorable and her personality just lights up the stage, Gev also brought it tonight and loved loved his solo- he makes me smile

What is wrong with Nigel? the man is a rude effing mess and has messed with the show for me 2 nights running, Robert was all kinds of awesome, and he dissed him big time
Seemed jerky to invite the guy to perform and then disrespect him.. :annoyed_tb:

I feel for all the Matt fans here. Would have preferred Gev go home to Matt, but with Khourtni gone it was looking likely… I’m just so relieved Thayne is staying. Yes, he grins a lot on the show, but DAMN I love his choreo and passion from pre-SYTYCD performances on youtube.

If anyone’s interested, this is a particular favourite…especially considering the whole beautiful piece was improvised.

ooohhh…you’re right. While I didn’t want Robert back on stage (he quit for crying out loud), they shouldn’t invite him back and then insult him. No wonder he wouldn’t give an answer when asked if he’d come back again.

I really love this show, but it would be a lot better for me without Nigel. He’s just a little too full of himself.

Oh I am soooo sorry – Hisarzeek – I sooooo wanted it to be Thayne and Kourtni. I can take him just a bit more if they just put some tape on his mouth to keep it shut. I KNOW he cannot help that montrous grin but it is like nails on a chalkboard for me, it is scary.

Comfort cannot stay past little Courtney!!!

I would have probably booted Thayne & Comfort if I had the chance. Especially Comfort – she does nothing for me – and she is sooooo not the best female hip hopper they’ve ever had Nigel.

But, I did guess correctly how it would go down. I’m kind of sorry I was right. I would have liked for Matt to have more time. Yes Matt, I would have given up my pool points for you (and for Sarah & Hisaki!).

Add me to the list who were not impressed with Tyce’s Broadway number. Yet another wonderful Bob Fosse number turned blah and stupid by Tyce. Yawn. (I can yawn and hate at the same time. It’s a skill.)

Courtney’s and Gev’s solos were amazing. Loved them.

My favorite Kourtni is gone Didnt care much for Matt but would have liked Thayne and Comfort to get axed.

Well, I went from getting every single point last week to getting a big fat ZERO this week.

I put my points on Jessica and Thayne. I will put my points on Thayne again next week.

Thayne should have gone (damn judges). So I’m okay that I put my points on him. I’m slightly annoyed with myself for not realizing that shirtless Will would have kept Jessica out of the bottom three.

I also didn’t think Courtney and Gev would be in the bottom three. I think they’re so likeable. I’m glad they lived to dance another week at least.

Courtney’s solo was by far the best of the girls. Loved it. I’m glad Gev is safe because I think they make a great couple. And speaking of being a couple, why couldn’t Courtney do some hip-hop with Gev on tour instead of Comfort. She was great last night. Having said that, Comfort is not bad when she has some good choreography to work with. What she comes up with by herself is pretty awful.

I don’t think the worst dancers went home tonight.

I don’t think the worst dancers went home but I’d venture to say the worst couple did. I never saw any chemistry with them together. Dancing their solos, they always impressed me. Because of their height, it would be difficult to pair either with another dancer on the show. So why did I only pick Will to leave this week…maybe because there was another woman I wanted to leave more. Yup that has to be it.

I couldn’t watch the show tonight but as usual, MJ saved the day for me! Thanks SO much for all these videos MJ!! What a great site this is!!!

Gev – Just WOW, he defined “dance for your life!” (keep in mind, this is my first season watching this). On a silly note, I am secretly watching and wishing for a love connection between him and Courtney post show, lol.

The only ones I wouldn’t mind seeing go now are Jessica, Comfort (only because she threatens the Gev/Courney duo, lol), and Thayne (sorta). The guys are all really quite good at this point. Geez, never thought I’d get this involved in another show other than AI!

Would have liked to see Will and Kourtney paired….oh well.

SYTYCD! Very entertaining, great show! :clap_tb:

crappers I love some Matt-he has such extension and there is just something about him that makes me smile. Didn’t care as much for Khourtni but she also should have stayed. From everything I’ve seen so far, I am so unimpressed with Comfort. I don’t know how she even made it to the top groups. She just isn’t a very good dancer, not in her own style or any others. I will say that she did a bit better with Permaplastersmile but that isn’t saying too much. PPS, on the other hand, had a very energetic solo. His smile is soooooooooooooooooooooo annoying but his solo was great tonight. But, he should have already been gone and so it goes. Gev was the energizer bunny and there was no way he was going anywhere. Taking the whole season thus far into account-it should have been smile boy and comfort who gives me no comfort. Jessica should count her lucky stars to have Will as a partner cuz as soon as they are in the bottom 3, she will be toast.

Idolbeat, I agree, I was mesmerised by Robert Muraine! No way he would have gone anywhere in the competition, I mean can you see him doing the Agentinian tango?? While I don’t condone quitters, he did say he knew he could only do one thing, when tested he couldn’t do it and he said he didn’t want to pull anyone down who had to partner him. I was glad to see him again because I am fascinated by anyone who can move like that. Maybe because I am also double jointed, altho I can’t dance worth crap, and I have my party tricks of inside out elbows, backwards fingers, hands etc which make people go Ewwwwww…

As for the rest, elimination went pretty much as expected, altho surprised to see Courtney and Gev in bottom. Will’s abs kept them out I think. Kourtni was one of my favs in the auditions, but she never did anything to move on and I lost interest. Matt was lovely and graceful and a sad loss. Nigel had it out for him from day one for some reason. Now if Thmiley could just keep his mouth closed, I keep thinking of the Joker from Batman!

I think Comfort knows she should have gone home tonight. Her reaction seemed a bit phony to me. Are female dancers supposed to have some warmth and charm about them? I am just not feeling it with this girl.

Yep, I was disappointed that Matt got sent home. It seemed like Cat really liked him. Getting to that Top 10 will be harder because of the quality of dancers left. However, there hasn’t been a performance that I could call magical yet.

Courtney and Gev have become the adorable couple to watch, for me. Right in there with Katee and Joshua. Because of these two couples, and the judges, I am enjoying SYTYCD more than AI.

I like all of the kids, but Comfort hasn’t found a place in my heart yet.

Connie, I too am enjoying these judges. Very different from AI. For the most part, they give excellent critiques, good or bad, and expound so the dancers know why they were judged as a good performance or not on any particular night. It did take me a couple of episodes to get used to Mary, but now I think she’s great, lol.

I don’t like watching Robert Muraine “do his thing” but I thought it was the ultimate in rudeness to invite him back on the show and then do nothing but insult him. What was the point? That was just needlessly obnoxious.

As for the elimination, it was what I expected, but I agree Comfort should have been the one to go and I would have been happier if Thayne had been the guy. He just bugs me for some reason.

I missed the show last night too, but thank u for the vids mj. Now time to weight in and I only have 1 topic to comment about:

Comfort scks more than big time. When she did her solo, other than walking down the steps, she never moved from one spot. Did she learn to dance in front of a mirror? Why is the consensus that she is sub-par but she keeps hanging on? There is not even anyone from previous years to match the low level of her abilities.

Matt is a technically brilliant dancer and should NOT have been sent home.

I also enjoy Robert’s popping weirdness. The dude must be triple-jointed. Shame on Nigel for being an ass. I’m looking forward to the dance off between Robert and the other guy they mentioned.

I don’t know what I did wrong but I messed up and hit the wrong box on the male side of the pool! :ponder_tb: Wish I could figure out how I did that! I knew it was Matt and completely intended to mark his box. :furious_tb:

It seemed (to me anyway) that they paired Matt with Kourtni for the simple reason that he was the tallest guy, and therefore, the one that would look best with her. The problem is, just because you’re both tall, does NOT mean that you will have chemistry. And you just can’t force chemistry where there is none. Matt really got the shaft. I wonder what would have happened had he had a different partner? Joshua/Katee, Mark/Chelsie, and Twitch/Kherington (and Courtney/Gev, somewhat) can all cover up, to some extent, what they lack technically because they all have such wonderful chemistry together and are a pleasure to watch despite any technical deficiencies. Matt and Kourtni just never had that. I really have no explanation for Jessica/Will….Will must be insanely popular or surely they would have landed in the B3 by now.

I wish they would have given Matt another chance with a different partner, even if it was Comfort. I can’t imagine that anything could have been WORSE than yetti-woman.

Okay, so I may be in the minority here, but I love that the show/producers are giving Robert Muraine more of a showcase. After he quit in Vegas, they completely could have said, “Okay dude, we’re done with you.” They could have left out the clips from his audition and from his solo in Vegas. And they could have never invited him back. They would have been completely in their rights to do so…but instead, they have gone out of their way to be sure that he gets exposure. And I didn’t think Nigel was being rude to him, either! I thought he was joking around, maybe in a bit of a sarcastic way, but I got the impression that Robert completely understood where he was coming from. Do I wish he would have at least tried in Vegas instead of quitting? Yes and no. If he had, he might have been seriously put down on TV by the judges for how poorly he did. By quitting, he avoided that…and it seems to me that he kept the respect of TPTB (including Nigel! Let’s not forget that Nigel named him his “official favorite dancer of 2008″…I have a feeling that it is Nigel who has arranged for him to continue to get airtime). So while I don’t like that he quit…I think in some ways, it was really a smart move. Anyways…moving on.

I actually really enjoyed the group number. It was entertaining!

Comfort’s solo…oy…she so didn’t show us anything different from any of her previous solos. And frankly, her solos have not been very strong – any of them! But I still like her, and I still think she did a great job this week with Thayne. They both really came out strong this week, and they surprised me. But was it enough to justify keeping her around? I don’t know. Kourtni’s solos have all been really, really good. But her partner dances with Matt have all been lacking, other than the Contemporary routine last week. And seeing as how Contemporary is her style, she only showed that she can shine in her style, not in others. Comfort hasn’t been great in any of her routines, but I feel like she has consistently been stronger than Kourtni, and she has shown a lot of growth. Courtney definitely deserved to stay…and after thinking about it, so did Comfort.

With the guys…Gev was not going ANYWHERE after that solo. Wow. Not only that, but he has done really well with Courtney in a lot of different styles. He needed to stay. Thayne really came on strong with his solo this week. He actually made me take notice, whereas last week I felt like we were seeing a lesser version of his first solo. He was really, really good…and he did really well with Comfort. So, that leaves Matt. Sorry all y’all who love Matt…but I’ve never really *got* him. He is exceptionally well trained and has wonderful technique. But when I watch someone dance, I want to see more than their technique. I want to see their heart and soul, their blood, sweat, and tears, so to speak. And I never got that from him, even in his solos. So he was not a surprise to me last night.

Well, I made my chocolate chip cookies to ease my Matt withdrawal. Chocolate heals everything, as does replays of all Matt’s solos. God knows he had to do a lot of them.
I wonder who Nigel is gonna bag on next? His whipping post is gone now. I don’t mind when people are eliminated, but show some respect, damn it!
Next week should be interesting with Thayne/Comfort being the only for sure bottom dwellers. How will Nigel’s protected angels react to having to defend their right to be on the show AND on the tour?

See, when I compare Gev’s solo to past b-boys that have been on the show (Hok and Dominic, specifically), it just doesn’t stand up as “omg!great!” in my mind. But he seems nice enough, so I guess that’s enough. He and Courtney are cute together, and she’s probably my 2nd favorite girl, behind Katee.

I donà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t think the worst dancers went home but Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢d venture to say the worst couple did. I never saw any chemistry with them together.

I guess that’s the difference between being a Nigel-pet or not. Kourtni and Matt are this year’s Lauren and Neil. They had NO chemistry last year, but kept getting saved (despite shitty solos on Lauren’s part) because they were producer faves and “pretty faces” for the tour. Both of them really shined once they got to dance with other partners in the top 10 – especially Neil.

Matt really got the shaft. It kinda pisses me off.

Courtney’s solo last night was the best of any female so far this season. No way is she going home before either Jessica or Comfort. I suspect that the judges will boot Jessica next week if they have the chance, and the viewers will boot Comfort the following week.

Gev’s solo was fantastic. I can’t imagine him going before Thayne either. Mary has a pretty serious case of Thayne-love (I have no idea why), but I suspect she’ll be overruled soon enough. If you have Will & Mark, you don’t need Thayne.

Barring some unforeseen dance magic or colossal screw ups, I suspect next week’s B3 will be Comfort & Thayne, Will & Jessica, Courtney & Gev. For Comfort, Thayne and Jessica, I think it’s because they’re the weakest dancers. For the others, it will be because the other six are just so much more popular than they are.

Courtney is a really, really good dancer. I suspect once she makes it to the top 10 and the re-partnering begins, she’ll just dance on by some of the girls who are now front-runners.

Will and Jessica were in the B3 the first week, I think.

That makes them, Thayne and Comfort (B3 three times each) and Courtney and Gev (B3 last week) the only ones left who’ve tasted B3. That means we can expect those three couples as B3 next week, or maybe not. Dominic and Sabra were B3 the first week of their season, too, but never hit it again as a couple.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if they booted Kourtni and Matt because Comfort and Thayne would’ve been too predictable. Lord knows Nigel likes to keep the buzz and the shock going for his shows.

I wanted to just see if Comfort could do it, she proved she could be somewhat more than a b girl but now it is time for her to go bye bye please. She no way blew me away. Gev did with his solo and I thought Courtney was once again a delightful little bundle of energy and personality. I could stand to see Comfort or Jessica go next week but not Courtney. I would have liked to see Matt given the chance to dance with someone else, I KNEW Kourtni would not make it far in this particular show, she wasnt bad just not right for what SYTUCD wants is what I thought. Thayne is not bad but my least favorite guy. I had Joshua as my favorite guy but the two bods are pretty close and Gev – I am torn. Courtney is still my favorite girl and I hope that she lasts long enough to be paired with another to see just what shes got.

Does anybody know what Cat Deeley was talking about when she told Gev to never, ever do that again? Did he come close to the edge of the stage or something? I loved his solo (thought it fit his music perfectly, captured a carnival ride, and I loved the bouncing stuff that he did so well) but I didn’t understand why Cat was freaking out.

Agree with all those saying Comfort’s solo was nothing special. I would be really surprised if it’s not her or Jessica going home next week…though it seems likely Nigel’s pushing for Comfort to go on tour to mix up styles. Agreed, too, that Courtney is just a bundle of joy on stage. I’d love to see both her & Chelsie go far.

They are all so talented this year! Can’t wait to see the partnerings changed up…and I’m already excited to see the boy/boy routine at the end of the season. With Mark being half of that combo, thank you very much.

Mary has a pretty serious case of Thayne-love (I have no idea why)

It’s the thmiling, Spense. Mary has a case of goofy-grin herthelf a lot of the thime.

Ià ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢m already excited to see the boy/boy routine at the end of the season. With Mark being half of that combo, thank you very much.

YES PLEASE!

though it seems likely Nigelà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s pushing for Comfort to go on tour to mix up styles.

Actually, it sounded to me like Nigel was over her too, and that Mary and the other judges were the ones who wanted to keep Comfort around.

Thats what I felt too, Nigel said he did not vote for Comfort to go on, he was overruled by the others I thought? So, maybe she will be gone next week. Courtney did the hip hop pretty well so she can take over that style for the tour maybe, I hope. This is when it starts to get really good isnt it?

Actually, it sounded to me like Nigel was over her too, and that Mary and the other judges were the ones who wanted to keep Comfort around.

Oops, you know I completely forgot he said that. Should have said TPTB in general. I was remembering Ashlee Nino today after watching the opening for IGB again…she was fabulous in S2. Wasn’t there some behind the scenes mess when she had to step in and choreo her hip hop partner routine last minute one week because the choreographer never turned up? Was it Dan?

Mary has a pretty serious case of Thayne-love (I have no idea why)

I do, I do! I’m just amazed it hasn’t filtered down to him that his smile is off-putting for a lot of folks, but a lifetime of smiling from ear to ear is probably hard to stop on a whim. lol

The reason why Khourtni was sent home cause Nigel really wanted to boot Matt off. With Matt off, they cannot put Khoutrni paired with Thayne. (too short)

Second, why they keep Comfort was beyond me. Only to have a B Girl in the tour? I do think that 3 B Boys in thetour was more than enough to make a crowd pleaser .

Had anybody see Comfort solo than compare it with Gev solo? Like day and night. Gev totally triumph and Comfort was the same bad solo dance for three weeks now.

The only way Comfort now can wnet into the top 5 was hoping will and Jessica in the bottom 3 next week. Nigel already try to do that by putting Will ad Jessica as the opener but failed to dragged the couple to bottom 3.

Maybe next week, if Nigel desperate enough, he will give Will & Jesicca two very boring dance and choreography to make them into bottom 3 and boot Jessica out.

Cause I do not think Kherington, Coutney, Katee and CHelsie will be sacrificed if they were in bottom 3 to save Comfort.

Comfort and Thayne will be in bottom 3 next week even if they got brilliant choreographys and got the pimp spot cause it clear now both of them had the least fans from the 6 pairs.

I do hope Will/Jessica can at least get a top 3 position votes next week just to see Comfort go. Between Jessica and Comfort, Jessica was better than Comfort and that why she should stay.

How on earth Nigel ever said that Comfort was the best B Girl he ever saw on the show. Sara definitely win if she and Comfort ever had a solo dance off in SYTYCD.

Just show you NIgel will say anything to make the ratings go up.

I just watched the solos. Courtney & Gev were fantastic; I think I’m going to start being behind them now that Matt-dork is gone. I’m pretty sure TPTB already have Twitch, Joshua, Mark, and Will lined up for the tour, so it’ll probably come down to Gev and Thayne for that last spot.

I don’t know what’s with keeping Comfort on the show. Even if she’s doing nicely in other styles (which I’m not really seeing TBH), she should at least be freaking capable of choreographing some decent stuff in her own style — and whatever she choreographed for her solo was just really bad, IMO. I already lost Matt to PermaThmile; I better not lose Courtney to Comfort, too.

Ummm… Cat Deely’s hair looks extra horrible… And Matt and Kourtni!?!? WHAT THE CRAP?!?!! That’s such a rip off… It should have been Comfort and Thayne. No question…. Grrrr…….
