Who Went Home on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE?
July 16, 2009 by Kath Skerry
The judges don’t have a say, and this time it’s up to America. Ten become eight as one more guy and one more girl are eliminated from the competition in tonight’s SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!
Unfortunately I’m not going to be able to live blog tonight’s SYTYCD show, but I will be posting the names of the eliminated dancers as they are announced (ah the beauty of an iPhone).
Here’s where I need YOUR help! Since I’m going to be away from the TV, I’m really hoping some of you will do the live blogging for me…in the comments. Share your thoughts on everything from the opening number (I hear it’s going to be a Wade piece), to what Cat’s wearing (which will surely be faboosh), to which dancers go home (by money is on Kupono & Randi). I’m going to be relying on YOUR comments to keep me in the loop for a change.
Any volunteers?
Update:
Bottom two girls – Melissa & Rand
Bottom two guys – Kupono & Ade
Going home tonight are RANDI and Kupono!!
Thanks to both of these talented dancers!!
And thanks to the GMMR readers that kept me up to date on tonight’s show since I couldn’t be in front of the TV.
Your thoughts on tonight’s eliminations?
Melissa featured dancer? You couldn’t even tell which guys was which.
And what the hell is Cat wearing?
Cat is super shiny! No Nigel? I can handle the break from him for one week. The opening wasn’t my favorite, but it was pretty good.
Please keep me posted you East Coasters! I can’t wait 3 more hours to find out if my hometown dancer Jason is safe!
I am totally OK with Ladies Night!
Bottom two? Randi &
Melissa and Randi as the bottom two girls. Not surprising. I’m guessing Randi is on the way out…
Melissa! is #2
I am guessing Randi too but I am happy that America put Melissa in the bottom two. I still think all the girls are better than some of the guys.
Thank you
Keep the updates coming.
Jason and his frightening gold tennis shoes are safe
Finally attempting to get a gravatar while on commercial…not going well so far. I feel very challenged while trying to pick a nickname!
Snap! Even is safe. I am surprised.
Kapono in the bottom two not surprise there
I wish you all could see me now sitting at a fancy dinner on my iPhone. I’m an ass.
America didn’t like Ade? Wow. Attack of the shorties!
Kapono…not surprising. Ade?! I guess it had to be someone and he didn’t hasn’t really shown the personality the others have yet.
I can picture it because I have done it too!
I am excited for Fame!
Is Debbie Allen involved with the new Fame?
GMMR: A girl has got to have priorities! At least you went to dinner even though SYTYCD is on!
I’m excited for Fame too! The commercials at least make me excited that it might be good.
She is listed as Principle Simms. Nothing listed about choreography that I can see at a quick glance
This is the part of the show I always hate. As soon as it’s up to “America” to vote, the best dancers end up get eliminated. ADE, ARE THEY SERIOUS???? I assume it will be Kupono to go home (which I’m OK with) but I still think it should be Evan to go home this week.
Did they show the song Randi danced to? I really liked it but the stupid storm warning is covering where they show the song!
Dream by Priscilla Ahn?
My favorite dancers never win SYTYCD. S1 my favorite was Melody (although I like Nick). S2 my favorite was Travis. S3 my favorite was Danny. S4 I was rooting for Will (he could out dance any of them). This season I’m torn between Jeanette, Kayla and Jeanine. Of the guys I think Ade is my favorite.
Back to Fame. Did I know that Kherington Payne was in it?
Thanks! Wasn’t that the same solo Kupono did last night? Do they always repeat the same solo?
Yep, Kupono did the same solo.
Honestly? If the solo doesn’t catch me in the first 2 seconds I get distracted and read my Twitter so I wouldn’t’ be able to tell you about the solos!
Except I can tell you that is the same ugly ass outfit Melissa wore last night with the giant black bike shorts!
Debbie talking about America being spoiled kinda pisses me off. The judges have not been doing much real constructive criticism so it is almost totally a who has the best dance/costume that gets the votes.
Apparently I didn’t notice Melissa’s outfit last night. I’m with you Patty that I get bored with some solos and go back to the internet! I guess Ade did the same solo too. Perhaps Randi and Melissa did too…their solos were not memorable enough for me to notice.
A little OT but has Fergie always had giant boobs?
I don’t think they were that giant before…
Funny how the musical guests on this show always have the lamest dancers.
I just noticed the on BEP was wearing a MJ Thriller jacket.
No surprise. Randi is out
So long to Randi! I did like her, but she hasn’t really gotten into many of the different styles.
I kinda liked Randi’s unitards.
I will say Randi and Evan had some fun dances
America got it right I think. Bye Kapono
Whew! Ade is safe. Bye Kupono. I liked your quirkiness. But Ade should be one of the top 2 guys.
They did have some fun dances! And Kupono…perhaps he should have kept the hair! Seeing his audition reminded me how much I liked his hair!
I liked his hair too but Nigel I think thought it was too “girly”
I don’t know that Nigel should call anyone too girly…
So sad that I missed the live blogging tonight!! I had a semi party (if you can call two gals a party!) with a friend, and we didn’t have the opportunity to get online during it. However, next week we’ll be at MY place, so I’ll make sure to get HER online here!
Definitely saw Randi and Kupono coming … doesn’t mean I liked it any better, but I guess it’s easier to handle if you see it coming. I really loved Randi, but seeing her paired with Kupono was “eh” for me. I think Kupono is pretty spectacular too, but his solo didn’t amaze me. It’s going to get harder and harder each week, though, to watch people go! And I’m Canadian – so I honestly have no say in this!!! Ack!
i totally expected it to be randi and kopono. i think the reason randi stayed in so long is because she was partnered with evan. even has a huge fan base (including me) so i dont think he will be leaving for a couple of weeks. and i think melissa and ade were in the bottom because people assume they are safe and dont vote.
Thanks for updating even though you were away from the TV. My DVR cut off the program before they announced who went home from the guys and Ade is my SYTYCD boyfriend! I needed to know he was safe! I predicted that Randi and Kupono would be going home. I think that Paso Doble did them in. Poor guys, but someone had to go.
I am always wrong and I like the ones sent home. Randi was my favorite dancer of all. How can I be so wrong? argghhh..going to bed now
Fergie definitley had some work done.
Boo – Randi went far in my fantasy pool. That stinks.
The umbrella dance, the park bench AND RamaLama next week? AWESOME!!
I love Cat but last night was a miss for me. Shiny pillowcase and bad hair. I know you can work it girl! I’ll call in a momentary lapse in judgment and forget all about it 🙂
It was sad to see Kupono go, but it was time. I was overjoyed to see Jason sent to safety first…woohooo BF Jason!
