The top six couples performed in So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 17, and tonight two more will go home.
Karen & Victor and Ashleigh & Jakob step forward first. Karen & Victor are the first couple in danger, as Ashleigh & Jakob are safe. Mary is unsurprised by this placement.
Mollee & Nathan and Kathryn & Legacy are up next. Mollee & Nathan are the second couple in danger tonight, as Kathryn & Legacy join the top 10. As the judges said last night, Adam’s looking forward to them both getting more mature partners.
The final pair of couples is Ellenore & Ryan and Noelle & Russell. The third couple in danger is Ellenore & Ryan. Noelle & Russell are in the top 10. Nigel has nothing but good things to say about Ellenore and Ryan, who are having trouble obtaining a fan base.
That leaves Karen, Victor, Mollee, Nathan, Ellenore, and Ryan dancing for their lives. Four of these people were in the bottom last week, and two of them lost partners then. Ellenore & Ryan were safe last week, although they were in the bottom the week before (along with Karen).
Starting with the girls, the judges are unanimous with their decision. Mollee for the first time showed the judges someone actually fighting for their place on the show (that solo was awesome). Ellenore is not given any advice because the judges can’t think of any need for improvement. Karen’s told that her solo felt like she was waiving the white flag. She has been eliminated from the show.
The judges are not unanimous with their decision for the boys. Victor is told he’s grown as a person, and his solo was terrific as well. Ryan’s challenge is to compete with contemporary guys in solos, although his partnership work is tremendous. Nathan is a brilliant dancer, but hasn’t grown enough for Nigel’s taste. If Nigel had his way, he would be going home tonight. However, Nigel does not get his way. Instead, Victor has been eliminated.
