So You Think You Can Dance winds down this week and at last night’s taping of the Finale performance episode, it looks like things went a little different than they normally do. From what I can cull together online, they did multiple tapings and each one had different segments that would fit into both the Wed and Thur episodes.

Everything I’ve been able to get my dirty little spoiler hungry hands on is listed after the jump… (more…)

I know that I’ve been in radio silence regarding So You Think You Can Dance for the last few weeks but I’ve been a busy boy. I never watched more than 3 routines from the week Will and Comfort went home so I still don’t have much to report on that front. As I mentioned in my spoiler post earlier this week, I didn’t shed a tear or really even care that Will got the boot last week and that got me thinking…

Do I even care about SYTYCD this season? Of course the easy answer is yes! The more complicated question to ask though is how much?

A few weeks back I found myself getting really annoyed with having to invest 2 hours and 100 dances on a Wednesday night. Never in the history of my watching the show had I wanted less SYTYCD and I admit it’s crazy talk. Last week when I missed both episodes, I had no interest in going back and trying to watch the routines, the judges reactions and more importantly the contestant reactions to the supposedly shocking ouster.

This week I watched both the Wednesday night performances and the Thursday night eliminations back to back and found myself fast forwarding through the majority of both episodes so obviously I’m way over Season 4 of SYTYCD.

At this point I have zero interest in going to the SYTYCD Tour (all the air just sucked out of the room you’re reading this in) because I don’t really care about any of the dancers. I love my Marky Mark and it pained me to see him go last night (read my recap at AfterElton.com) but I didn’t scream or jump up and down in horror when he left. I think Twitch is a great personality but I think we’ve seen everything he’s got to offer and now we’re just killing time until the finale. Same goes for every contestant on the show.

Oddly, the two I’m most excited about in the Top 4 are Joshua and Katee. As you may recall, Katee was Enemy #1 when this competition began and I wished for her demise for the first couple weeks. Now I think she’s the one that excites me most and if her and Joshua continue to fly through the air like acrobats from Cirque du Soleil, I’ll have to reconsider my stance on the tour because their Contemporary routine this week was banoodles!

Alas I’m torn on what to think about the ennui I have toward Season 4 and I hope I snap out of it eventually but really does it matter at this point? The finale is next week and I won’t even be home to watch a winner be crowned. I’ll be doing my IFFBoston duties as we host one of our Summer Screening Series films so wow, there’s that!

The shortened season is both a blessing and a curse. The Olympics have forced the show to end earlier than it normally would and while that sucks in general, I’m also kind of excited for it to just be done with. What’s that all about?

Sure Cat Deeley has been better than ever and there’s been plenty of shirtless mancandy but I feel like the show’s still lacking that certain something. They let NappyTabs have too much exposure this season and if they were geniuses like Mia Michaels or Mandy Moore I’d be fine with it but for every 4 bad routines there’s a good one. I didn’t think losing Shane Sparks and Wade Robson would have that much impact but I think it did. Is it possible that’s what I’m longing for and that’s why there’s a disconnect? Bringing on Sonya Tayeh was a huge benefit and having Lil C guest judge gave us more of his genius but I need something more.

Am I alone in this? Am I the only one that thinks something is off this season?

Wow, I feel like I’ve been in So You Think You Can Dance silence for quite some time. I still haven’t seen last week’s episodes though I do know that Will and Comfort went home. While I’m not surprised that Will went home, I know that the Judges are pissy beyond belief. I love the chaos that sending a frontrunner home brings to the table and it will make for a bitter and fun performance episode this week as Nigel tries to bully Mark or Twitch into failing and going home. Will just wasn’t a personality so he went home, plain and simple. I’m not shedding a tear, I’ll tell you that much.

Regardless, it’s time to move onto the Top 6 and the couples, routines and choreographers they pulled out of Cat Deeley’s hat this week.

Alright gang, this might be the last you hear from me this week about So You Think You Can Dance because I leave tomorrow for Comic-Con. That means I’m on a plane during a portion of the performance airing and busy with geeky stuff during eliminations. If I get a chance to watch online at some point, I’ll add some commentary but otherwise this is Ducky signing off for SYTYCD until next week. How sad is that?

Now that Jessica King is out of the competition due to some broken ribs, last week’s booted contestant Comfort Fedoke is back in the game. It looks like they are shaking things up a bit this week and one dance in general will make my partner Jon happy.

Well, Comfort and Thayne have gone home and there was really no other choice to make this week. My write up of both episodes has been published over at AfterElton so head on over and check out all of my thoughts but until then I’ll just say that Thayne got screwed. I really wish that they could have sent two girls home tonight and paired up two boys next week. Sure it’s not what the show does, but if America is willing to accept Bollywood, I think they can handle a little man on man dance action for a week or two. I’m just sayin’…

Here are the videos from the Week 5 Elimination episode, starting with the worst opening number in the history of the show.

Top 12 Group Performance

The amazing Alvin Ailey performance:

Last night the Top 12 performed on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and I don’t know if all the cleaning I did coupled with the heat had my head out of the game but I was not the impressed with the majority of the dances last night. Sure there were some standouts that I absoloved.

Hands down the best routine of the night was Katee and Joshua’s Bollywood routine, I mean let’s get real… it was banoodles! I loved Courtney and Gev’s Jazz number and how smokin’ hot was Will and Jessica’s Contemporary?

While I’m positive its time for Comfort Fedoke to gets ta steppin’, I can’t pick any of the guys to send home this week. Thayne is better than any partner he’s had all season so I don’t want to see him go home yet, I think the kid will kill it once he makes it into the Top 10. Gev is a fan fave so I don’t see his little scrawny ass going anywhere anytime soon which leaves us with Twitch, Will, Joshua and Mark. I don’t want to see any of them leave either. Frak, tonight is going to be ugly and for the first time all season I know I’m going to scream at my television.

Read my So You Think You Can Dance AfterElton recaplet , then listen to our latest SYTYCD Podcast to get all of my thoughts on the Top 14 performing. Quickly, two dances for seven couples was waaaay too much this week. It killed the momentum of the show and it killed the personality I come to appreciate from seeing the rehearsal process… that being said, I didn’t love it any less.

There are a ton of videos to get to this week so let’s go…

Will and Jessica’s Jive:

Will and Jessica’s Lyrical Jazz:

Comfort and Thayne’s Broadway:

Wow gang, the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE SPOILERS this week have kind of been all over the place so more than ever this is just a hodge-podge of what I could find online for you folks. It may get a little clearer as the day unfolds and I will update accordingly.

Tomorrow night is the night kids, I cannot wait! We are in Week 4 of performances and I still love this show more than ice-cream and sparklers.

So You Think You Can Dance is down to the Top 16 and of the 8 couples left, only 2 of them made me scream like Mary Murphy last night!

I realize I should post the videos in the order they were danced, but it’s my site and it’s all about me getting off on these kids dancing (not that way sickos) so we’ll play by my rules! This is Ducky’s house bitches…

Chelsie and Mark owned the competition last night with their jazzy hip-hop by NappyTabs. Mark never looked so manly and Chelsie never stood out as much as she did last night. It was a critical week for these two because they were in danger of falling into the void where people barely remember them. This routine may be my favorite of the season and may rank right up there with the bench dance from Season 2 and the boardroom from Season 3… yes, I think its that good.
