Six couples, 12 entertaining performances

This week on So You Think You Can Dance the remaining six couples performed twice each and also danced with their partner for the last time since next week is when the pairs begin rotating weekly. Other housekeeping info before I get to my opinions on the dances: Cat looked gorgeous, as always, and Tyce Diorio was the guest judge. Now that that is out of the way, let's move on.

1) Melissa and Ade
Dance 1: disco choreographed by Doriana
I think that, at times, Melissa seemed hesitant in her movements but on the other hand Ade was in it 100 percent. Ade let go and really performed. I think all disco routines always seem so rushed, but this was a very entertaining routine. The lifts were impressive and it was a fun dance. Melissa even fell at the end, but she recovered well and the dance overall was so good that the fumble can easily be overlooked.
Dance 2: waltz choreographed by Ron Montez
This was a great dance for Melissa and it was a very entertaining routine. They are a great pair and it showed in how this dance flowed wonderfully. Melissa has the technique to pull off any dance and Ade has the strength that makes him the perfect partner. The best word to describe this dance is beautiful and, as Mary said, they are a classy pair.
2) Kayla and Kupono
Dance 1: contemporary choreographed by Mia
This was a very powerful dance that worked because of the powerful choreography. Kayla was an addict and she was addicted to Kupono. I was so wonderful mostly because they danced it so well. Throughout the entire thing I was in the story, believing every moment. The performance gave me chills. They were really acting and in character, which, as Tyce pointed out, made for a fantastic package.
Dance 2: broadway choreographed by Joey
After Joey's last broadway routine trainwreck, I was expecting the worst here. But this week the choreography was better. I liked the story presented here and once again this pair was asked to play roles. Only this time, their characters did not come to life as they were supposed to. I felt like their dancing was a bit jolty and I agree that they missed the style of the piece they were given.
3) Caitlin and Jason
Dance 1: foxtrot choreographed by Tony
This foxtrot had a jazzy undertone and both dancers looked like they were really having fun. The dance was smooth and classy but the choreography left me wanting more. I didn't think there was any real excitement value to the dance. I was good, but not memorable.
Dance 2: lyrical jazz choreographed by Mandy
This is both Caitlin and Jason's style so I was expecting to be impressed. And while I enjoyed it and thought it was a beautiful dance, I was not blown away. They did both seem very comfortable in the dance and they got the chance to show off their strengths, which was good. They were always there for one another and were together throughout so it was an overall good routine. But I do not think it was the great Caitlin talked about striving for.
4) Janine and Phillip
Dance 1: Russian folk dance choreographed by Youri and Lilia
Throughout the routine Janine seemed a bit off balance and at one point she even tripped on Phillip's foot. I agree 100 percent with Nigel that the dance was the problem. The choreography and style looked hard, and I have no doubt that it was a difficult style to master, but I can't see people wanting to vote for that performance. They did what they were given well, but I don't think it will be enough.
Dance 2: jive choreographed by Tony
This was not the trainwreck I was expecting. Phillip always struggles outside of his comfort zone, which is understandable since he has no training, but this week he actually held his own. They were obviously having fun and I was into it. I was pleasantly surprised with how well they performed and with how much I enjoyed it.
5) Randi and Evan
Dance 1: hip hop choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon
I think these two did surprisingly well with this style. Having Tabitha and Napoleon as their choreographers definitely helped them because a more hard hitting, rough routine would have been disastrous, but in this routine they were hitting every move. They did nothing wrong, were very entertaining and overall did great.
Dance 2: samba choreographed by Pasha and Anya
This was a very animal-movement inspired dance and the choreography was pretty good, but Randi and Evan just didn't look comfortable. On a high note, their lifts were executed much better than I expected, but I agree with the judges who said that Randi stole the show and Evan dropped back a bit.
6) Janette and Brandon
Dance 1: Argentine tango choreographed by Leonardo and Mariam
For the tango to be believable, the couple needs to be passionate. And not only did Janette and Brandon follow through with this, but they were also very sexy. The choreography was exciting for a tango and the execution was outstanding. The judges even gave them a standing ovation. This was a great routine.
Dance 2: jazz choreographed by Wade Robson
This was by far the best dance on the night in regards to both performance and choreography. It was a great way to end the show. Wade is such a brilliant choreographer. And these two were some very smooth criminals. It was fun dancing and an overall great performance.

I really have no idea who will be in the bottom tomorrow. Who I know will not - Janette and Brandon. Both of their dances were great. They are the only safe ones in my mind. But someone has to go so that we can move on to the top 10. Who do you think will be in the bottom tomorrow based on tonight's performances?
