We're Down to 8...

It’s time for results on So You Think You Can Dance?, and while Cat Deeley (the host) doesn’t drag it out like Ryan Seacrest, there’s still the element of naked cruelty. And there’s the added element of the fact that the bottom three has to dance again for the judges. What fun.

Aleksandra & Jason, Dmitry & Joy, and Heidi & Ryan were in the bottom three. No real surprises, even though I thought that Ivan & Allison would be there instead of Heidi & Ryan (but they weren’t great either). So they’ll all be dancing solos later in the show.

Before we get to the solos, a question about the girls. Why are so many of them convinced that essentially dancing in their underwear is a good idea? I’m shocked how many of them are pretty much just dancing in bras and boy shorts. It just doesn’t seem comfortable (wouldn’t you be worried about keeping covered up?), and it’s not even that attractive. Hmmmm.

Anyways, the solos were good again this week. Of course, we learned last week that the solos don’t make a whole lot of difference in the voting. I especially liked Heidi’s solo – she’s a LOT better than she showed yesterday.

A quick break to watch Rhianna lip sync while the judges ponder who should go home. I’m lucky that I mostly listened to her performance instead of watching it.

So, after the judges deliberated, it’s Joy and Jason that are going home. I think that the judges got it right out of the six that they had to choose from. And Aleksandra & Dmitry are now partners (question answered…), which should be interesting, since they will be working together for the first time, while all the others will be on their third week with their partners. Oh well…I guess this is what happens when you’re in the bottom three!
