Can he really do it? Should he really do it?

Do what?
Well I'm glad you asked.
The question is, can and/or should Travis do an encore post without a clip from Twitchington?
Let's find out.
How about a bit of jazz from Courtney & Gev?
And what about some Broadway from Chelsie & Mark?
And certainly let's have the dance of the night from Jessica & Will.
The Top 12 dance a bit of hip hop from Tabitha & Napoleon. These two have made some wonderful dances this season, making hip hop stories for the dancers to interpret. Tonight's group number was no exception. Fun stuff!
And now let's see who is in the Top 10 and who must impress the judges with a solo.
In the first two pairs, Katee & Joshua make it through while Comfort & Thayne are in the bottom three.
In the next group of two, Chelsie & Mark are through to the next round but Jessica & Will are in the bottom three.
And in the last pair, Courtney & Gev are in the Top 10 but Kherington & Twitch are in the bottom three.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I need a moment. Just let me breathe for a minute.
OK. Here's the good news. We finally get to see Kherington & Twitch dance their solos. That's a good thing, right?
I need another moment.
Let's watch the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre perform Revelations now while I pull myself together.
OK. I'm ready for solos now.
Comfort - OK, but not great
Thayne - He is an impressive soloist
Jessica - Excellent
Will - Brilliant...he could dance with the Alvin Ailey dancers right now
Kherington - Her movement is joyful
Twitch - Wow
So now I'm OK with Kherington & Twitch in the bottom because I got to see Twitch's amazing solo.
I can't imagine this competition without Will, Kherington, and Twitch. And I think Jessica's solo was more than enough to keep her in the competiton, especially after that contemporary routine from Wednesday. So by process of elimination, I say it's Comfort & Thayne who are out.
Nigel tells Kherington that she danced brilliantly and she moves to the Top 10. He says that Comfort really brought it with her solo and that they were disappointed with Jessica's solo. Nigel says that Jessica stays because of the contemporary routine from last night, so Comfort is out.
Nigel tells Twitch that he was outstanding and they can't lose him at this stage, so he is through to the Top 10. He says to Will that he would not be out of place with the Alvin Ailey dancers, and he is through to the Top 10. So Thayne is out, although Nigel says that this is one of the times that they wanted to keep all the boys and lose two girls.
Mia was upset to lose Thayne, although Nigel says the decision was unanimous.
This week we found that no one is safe. This is the most talented cast of dancers in the short history of So You Think You Can Dance. The competition will get tougher every week. It's clear that anyone can be eliminated at any time, and that anyone can win.
America is fickle. There's no predicting who voters will choose as their favorite dancer.
But one thing is for sure. The tour kicks off in Tacoma WA with Katee, Joshua, Chelsie, Mark, Courtney, Gev, Jessica, Will, Kherington, and Twitch.
So...could Travis go through an entire encore post without a clip from Kherington & Twitch? They made it into the Top 10...YAY! And whew! I was not ready for my favorite dancers to go yet.
What's the answer?
Of course not!
Here's your closer for today...some krumping from our favorites, Kherington & Twitch! You'll see them on the tour, with eight other fantastic dancers!
Next week, the partners shuffle so we get new pairs. If you haven't watched yet, give it a try.
Have a great weekend!
not watching this one...don't need to...I have you!
hope you and pam enjoy the weekend!
