America Eliminates Two Dancers on SYTYCD 7/17/08

Gev and Kherrington Voted Off SYTYCD
FOX 9/8c 7/17/08

In a bit of a surprise, Kherrington and Gev were the first two dancers eliminated from So You Think You Can Dance tonight. The first night that America has all of the power turned against Kherrington. She and partner Twitch had seemed flawless together, but last night was a partner draw and Kherrington was paired with Mark (also in the bottom 2 this evening).

The bottom 4 dancers were: Comfort, Kherrington, Gev, and Mark.

Comfort was the sure bet to be sent home since she was eliminated by the judges last week after a string of bottom 3 finishes. She got a reprieve after Jessica (gold-boy Will's former partner) had to leave the competition with an ankle or leg injury. See how I got through that without one snarky comment about Mia Michaels getting her wish!(oops)

Kherrington looked like she already knew the outcome after she danced her obligatory solo. She was obviously hurt that it must have been Twitch that kept them in the running. I was shocked, but maybe she was too cute and not raw enough for the American public. Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe were right when they said she will probably end up in the movies.

The guys were not much of a surprise, Mark has such a big Internet following. I'm sorry, I don't see it. He just bugs me, I think it is the faux-hawk. I really can't stand it, but the times he has his hair down its all greased to his head. I just don't get it.

Gev is so cute and I always forget how good he is at Hip Hop, until he has to show us every single week in a solo (for getting fewest phone votes). I think he is way cuter than Mark, but Mark is a more professional dancer. Guess that shows the difference between American Idol fans and SYTYCD fans, you guys care more about talent! Good for you!

Though not one of these people can be accused of getting by on looks. The judges obviously have a love affair with Will this season, but hopefully America and fans of So You Think You Can Dance will correct that by putting him in the bottom a few times. Or let him get on with his career that is so obviously awaiting him. Will is a wonderful dancer, but has yet to prove himself as the best on the stage he is on.
