SYTYCD Thursday July 30, 2009: Super Night Tonight – Now it’s the Fantastic Four!

Lizardly tonight, Cat slithers in green sequin scales as she invites us to see tonight’s So You Think You can Dance! But first out, there are scary sad Pierrots cavorting in an odd number to a “Little Night Music” that I am not sure I truly like. Costumes get in the way and dancers are all about. I find only the last moment to be truly together and poignant as Evan (who I think will remain tonight) stays out of the box, teary faced.

Down to business, Cat gets the girls in an evicted honeymoon disco ball tension and—Jeanine goes to the final! Worthy savage and formidable and fittest dedicated, hungriest appetite, epitome of it all, I believe that this is the ticket to the top for her.

The Emmy nominated routine danced by Will and Jessica enthralls us once again with its hypnotic seductive moves, as a silence falls across our room and all eyes stare at the image on the screen. Perhaps shocking? Definitely mesmerizing.

Ade with his symbol pick and Evan with his signature tie remain standing, as Brandon is sent to the safe side just before that Door gets between Twitch and Katee, in a modified version of that original Emmy nominated routine (Was it modified, or was it not rehearsed? Hard to tell). When we return from the break, we see Chelsie with season 4 winner Joshua do the Tango that spun her legs all over the place, quickly followed by Jabbawockeez, the winners of America’s Best Dance Crew. Their number is, what can I say, very together? But I find it unemotional, detached, just as the stare of the blank masks they use as props. Well executed cold fish dancing, lacking empathy and emotional connection. Not like the Bleeding Love number that comes next! That Mark and Chelsie number really deserves the Emmy that its going to win. Simple and perfect, it has a great connection and chemistry, no need for props (perhaps except a briefcase). This time the choreography does not seemed changed, as the other featured ones had. And I know Mark and Chelsie have been rehearsing like crazy! Well done!

As if the pace of the show is not jam-packed already, Sean Paul comes out with a raucous hip hop song, and jumping and hopping girls background dancing (well, calling that dancing is giving it more credit than it deserves). As a fill-in, this number seemed too much stuffing for the show, especially those dancers! Talk about filler, pu-lleezz! A terrible group that looked as if it had just been recruited from yesterday's want ads.
Finally, jidgement moment—and Kayla is safe (as predicted). And then… Evan! Once again as predicted in our blog yesterday.

The results tonight make me give my early final prediction: Jeanine will take home the prize!
