Don't Call It A Comeback

Last night was interesting one for So You Think You Can Dance, Lil C was guest judge and I have even more respect for him; Jessica spoke about her rib-injuries and that she will be healed in time to go on tour; and some dancers surprised me. It was a good night for hip hop on the show. Joshua & Courtney and later Twitch & Comfort performed Dave Scott routines. Both were really entertaining, but I would have to say I liked Twitch & Comfort's slightly better because both were featured equally and it looked difficult yet crazy fun.

Katee
and Will stole the show as the best couple of the night. They did a crazy difficult genre of ballet/modern/contemporary choreographed by Desmond Richardson that looked amazing. Katee and Will are probably the only two that could have pulled this dance off. They only messed up in one part but Nigel got inspirationally deep by commenting that it was a good thing they made that one mistake because they will always know they can do better. I have to agree because it was still amazing, and seriously it would be nearly impossible to top that performance for the rest of the show. No point in peaking now-- they still got some weeks to go before the end! Unfortunately I think Mark and Kherington are the most likely to be sent home this week. They got lackluster reviews (rightfully so, that Jazz number was only slightly better than the movie, Center Stage). I would have pegged Comfort to go, but that hip hop routine was fire.
