SYTYCD Top 12 Elimination

It's Thursday and that means So You Think You Can Dance's 1 hour elimination episode. Tonight we will find out the Top 10 dancers of SYTYCD's Season 5! This marks the beginning of the judges losing the power of eliminating the dancers. Now it's all up to America to vote for one dancer, and each week, the two dancers (always one guy and one girl) with the lowest amount of votes will be eliminated.

Sidenote: Cat Deeley didn't cut her hair! I really thought she did. And today is Nigel's 60th birthday, so Happy Birthday Nigel Lythgoe and thank you for helping make this show happen! :)

Last night I stated that I believed Randi/Evan, Caitlin/Jason and Phillip/Jeanine would be the bottom 3 couples of the week. I was mostly right because the bottom 3 couples of the night were Caitlin and Jason, Phillip and Jeanine, and Melissa and Ade! (Oh man, it was between Melissa/Ade and Kayla/Kupono. I almost had a heart attack when I thought maybe Kayla/Kupono were in danger! Phew.)

After a 30 second solo from all 6 dancers, the judges were unanimous about both eliminations and they eliminated Caitlin and Phillip.

I'm sad to see these two go, but I was sort of expecting it after tonight's solos. Caitlin did well, but she was outshined by Melissa and Jeanine. Phillip has an amazing and unique style, but he lacks formal training and struggles with dances outside of his own style. The judges mentioned Caitlin and Phillip will be going on tour with the rest of the Top 10 so that's great for all those Caitlin/Phillip fans out there!

My favourite dance by Caitlin was her and Jason's first performance, the bollywood!


My favourite dance by Phillip was his and Jeanine's chained hip-hop routine!


They're both amazing dancers, and I do hope they go far! Goodbye Caitlin and Phillip, you'll be missed! <3
