Learn more- Thursday night's episode of "So You Think You Can Dance?" spelled the end of the road for two more dancers who pulled in the lowest number of votes. The opening dance was a cool, futuristic hip-hop looking deal that was pretty captivating. Guest judge Toni Basil's speech about how she got into dancing, not so much. Host Cat Deeley asked Basil to talk about how much of a challenge it is for the dancers to learn all the different styles they have to know on the show and Basil's response was, essentially, that there are all kinds of dance and you'll never be able to master them.
And now, this message...: Judge and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe rode the voting wave by asking everyone who is eligible to vote in the United States -- which he isn't -- to vote in the Presidential election. He said he was asked to make the case for voting by DeclareYourself.org, and encouraged people to register to vote online.
To the results: Cat got right down to business, asking Katee to come to the stage. A recap of her performances from Wednesday, which the judges pretty much loved, included Nigel telling Katee, "There isn't one routine that you have done this season that I haven't enjoyed you doing." The verdict? Katee was safe.
Cat asked Will to come to the stage and a montage of his performances rolled on the screen. The judges showered him with some more praise, with Nigel saying he was emotionally touched by his and Courtney's slow hip-hop routine. The crowd also went nuts for the James Brown revival Will did as his solo. Cat announced that Will was one of the two guys in the bottom.
Comfort, who came back into the competition two weeks ago after being cut because Jessica suffered a season-ending injury, was next to come on stage for results. The judges loved her hip-hop routine with Mark, but absolutely hated the foxtrot. No big surprise here as Comfort landed among the bottom two girls. That left Courtney and Chelsie to wait for word on which of them would also be in the bottom two.
Comfort's partner Mark was up next. The judges' remarks and the highlights for him were about the same as Comfort's. But would the result be any different? Yes. Mark was safe, and completely stunned when Cat made the announcement. That left Joshua and Twitch vying for one last safe spot among the guys.
Four down, two to go: Cat asked Chelsie to come to the stage next, and the highlight reel reminded viewers that the judges absolutely loved her Argentine tango and disco routines with her partner Joshua. Cat quickly read the result and announced that Chelsie was safe. The crowd cheered and the camera showed a sad Courtney backstage. But there was no immediate word on whether that meant Courtney was actually in the bottom two. More on that later...
Cat called for Twitch next, and the video brought to life all the judges' positive comments about how Twitch is the least trained but extremely passionate and how he brings a deeper emotion to his performances because he isn't trying to stick with any kind of technique. Twitch anxiously waited for the result and it wasn't good news. He was in the bottom two and immediately turned toward the back of the stage, dropped into a squat with his back toward the crowd and the cameras until Cat walked over to him, squatted next to him, put her arm around him and talked him through it. Soon, he was smiling again.
Joshua, who covered his mouth in what appeared to be both happiness because he was safe and concern because he and Twitch seem to be good friends, came to the stage next. He smiled when Cat told him he knew he was safe.
Courtney sat all alone backstage, waiting for the news that she was the second girl in the bottom two. The recap showed her getting massive praise from the judges for her samba with Will and her slow hip-hop routine. It didn't do much to change the result, though, as Cat told her what everyone was waiting to have confirmed: she was in the bottom two girls.
From toe tapping to tiptoeing: Artistic directors Colleen Neary and Thordal Christensen from Los Angeles Ballet performed to "The Man I Love" from the ballet "Who Cares?" It was pretty stunning. Later, LL Cool J and the Dream stopped by to perform "Baby," from his new album "Exit 13."
Flying solo: The bottom four -- Comfort, Will, Courtney and Twitch -- got a chance to do their solos, even though they wouldn't change the results of America's vote. After Will performed, Cat asked Nigel about his thoughts on the dancers in the bottom. Nigel said he thought that Will and Twitch were the two best performers of the week and that maybe voters got lazy, thinking that they'd get votes regardless. Nigel said it would be sad to lose either Will or Twitch.
The verdict is in: Cat brought Comfort and Courtney to the stage and read the result. The girl leaving was ... Comfort. She took a look at her "So You Think You Can Dance?" -- again. This time, it's probably for real.
Twitch and Will came to center stage to find out that the guy leaving was ... Will.
The final six, with just two more cuts remaining before the finale, are: Mark, Joshua and Twitch among the guys, and Katee, Chelsie and Courtney among the girls. Who will go next?
