The judges eliminated two more people in So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 12: Bianca and Phillip.
With the World Series over, this week America gets its first chance to weigh in and vote.
Karen Hauer & Kevin Hunt
Style: Hustle
Choreographer: Maria Torres
Song: Come to Me by France Joli
Adam: Made it work for you. Saw Kevin for the first time. Karen performed with such beautiful restraint.
Mary: Karen was amazing, like a hustle queen. Surprised with how much attitude and performance Kevin gave to this. Still on the train.
Nigel: Absolutely delighted watching Kevin grow. Lovely routine that suits Karen, who adds something each week to the choreography.

Ashleigh di Lello & Jakob Karr
Style: Jazz with a cane
Choreographer: Mandy Moore
Song: Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Adam: Ashleigh is so so good up there. Really starting to experience things together. Jakob has enormous strength and control with his flexibility.
Mary: Perfect partnership. Ashleigh’s stepping up to the plate every week. Jakob is strong and passionate.
Nigel: Worked as a unit. Ashleigh gets better every week. Representing ballroom dancers brilliantly. Jakob is an absolutely stunning dancer.
Number: 1-888-TEMPO-02
Pauline Mata & Peter Sabasino
Style: Quickstep (aka the kiss of death)
Choreographers: JT & Tomas
Song: Hey Baby! (Shake Those Hula Hips) by Big Kahuna & The Copa Cat Pack
Adam: Story and character may have blown past some of the technical difficulties.
Mary: Not a train wreck. Wasn’t great, although the performance was amazing.
Nigel: Not technically perfect, but didn’t care. Fabulous performance.
Number: 1-888-TEMPO-03
Kathryn McCormack & Jonathan “Legacy” Perez
Style: Broadway
Choreographer: Andy Blankenbuehler
Song: I Wanna Be Like You by Swingin’ Fireballs
Adam: Not sure what Kathryn’s character was. Too adorable. Huge step in Legacy’s growth.
Mary: Missing a little bit of chemistry. Legacy’s growing so much that Kathryn’s getting a little lost.
Nigel: A little disappointed with Kathryn. Slightly juvenile. Legacy has turned from a street dancer into a complete dancer.
Number: 1-888-TEMPO-04
Channing Cooke & Victor Smalley
Style: Contemporary – toxic relationship
Choreographer: Stacey Tookey
Song: Be Be Your Love (Live at KCRW) by Rachael Yamagata
Adam: New partnership is going to reinvigorate you back into the competition. Danced beautifully, quality of movement, sensitivity.
Mary: Great new partnership. Phenomenal quality of movement.
Nigel: Not emotionally carried away, but thought it was danced very well.
Number: 1-888-TEMPO-05
Ellenore Scott & Ryan di Lello
Style: Hip hop
Choreographer: Lil C
Song: Lost Boiz Anthem by Tha J-Squad
Adam: Ryan’s the most transformed dancer of the night. Did well considering, albeit not great.
Mary: Good but not great. Got a little sluggish.
Nigel: Not good at all. Didn’t come up to it, and personalities don’t suit the style.
Number: 1-888-TEMPO-06
Mollee Gray & Nathan Trasoras
Style: Salsa
Choreographer: Gustavo Vargas
Song: Quimbara by Celia Cruz & Johnny Pacheco
Adam: Get ready to boo me. Bad luck of the draw. Exposed all of your weaknesses.
Mary: Not your brightest moment. A lot of things missed. Nathan was not suave enough. Mollee looked uncomfortable.
Nigel: Didn’t go right from the start. Missing chemistry.
Number: 1-888-TEMPO-07
Noelle Marsh & Russell Ferguson
Style: Afro jazz – frog with an African princess
Choreographer: Sean Cheesman
Song: Frog Dance by Mickey Hart & Planet Drum
Adam: Totally committed to the characters. Filled with spirit.
Mary: Crazy. Crazy good. Noelle was so dynamic and powerful. So much more out of Russell than expected. Russell’s the king of afro jazz.
Nigel: Russell’s a star. Noelle did a really good job.
Number: 1-888-TEMPO-08
Nigel thinks Ryan and Ellenore are in danger. Mary thinks Nathan and Mollee are in danger. Adam agrees with both of them.
