SYTYCD Season 5 Elimination night: 6/25/2009

Tonight we will lose 2 more hopefuls on So You Think You Can Dance. Nigel Lythgoe started the show with a commentary on the entertainment loss this week of Ed McMahon and today; Farrah Faucett and Michael Jackson.

The loss of Michael Jackson will weigh heavy on the dance world.

"I don't know how you begin... he changed the world.... this is a life to celebrate."

Then a small clip of the "Thriller" video was shown.

Asuka and Vitolio were up first for the results, and were sent to the bottom 3.

Jeanette and Brandon were up next, and were proclaimed safe.

Randi and Evan followed... they too were safe...not sure why.

Jeanine and Phillip were up, and sent through to the next round.

Melissa and Ade stood last on the stage with Cat Deeley. These two were also safe.

Karla and Jonathan stood next. After the worst performance last night, the couple was put in the bottom 3. Nigel offered bets to the audience last night that they would land there.

Caitlyn and Jason did not have a good night last night (no one did, really). The audience agreed and they are in the bottom 3.

Kayla and Kupono did an alright job last night. They were safe.

Asuka and Vitolio had really bad solos. Asuka did not do anything but run fingers through her hair, and Vitolio looked frantic.

Karla and Jonathan did better with their own choreography. I especially liked Karla's solo. Jonathan at least had a theme.

Caitlyn and Jason both gave the best solos of the night. I'm not fond of them as a couple, but both can definitely dance. (Of course they all can on this show)

After the solos:

The judges were unanimous with their decision on the girls. Caitlyn was told she had the best solo, and that she is safe. Karla seemed desperate in her solo. Asuka was praised for being exciting, but they said she is not growing in the competition (I completely agree, but am shocked).

Asuka is the first dancer to go home tonight.

The judges were not unanimous with the guys. Vitolio and Johnathan were told they cannot continue to fall into the bottom 3. Jason was told his solo was "full of desperation", but he was sent to safety. Nigel told both remaining guys that they were not strong enough. Vitolio was saved (of course) and

Jonathan was the second dancer sent home tonight.

So there you have it for another week. We are down to the Top 6 couples already for SYTYCD Season 5.

On Monday at 8/7c FOX will rebroadcast the American Idol Season 8 Michael Jackson theme night.
