Learn more- It's down to the final four on "So You Think You Can Dance," which means this week we'll have a winner. And even though there are only four dancers left, there are still two hours to fill, er kill (take your pick), which means there will be a whole lot of dancing.
Guest judges Kenny Ortega and Katie Holmes join regulars Mary Mupthy and Nigel Lythgoe on the panel this week.
It might be too much trouble to keep up with who's dancing what, and with which all-stars, but suffice it to say there will be many performances by many combinations of dancers, including all-stars Mark (Season 4), Joshua (Season 4), Lauren (Season 7) and Robert (Season 7).
We get started with a big reunion of the couple that got us through the early portion of the competition: Melanie & Marko.
Melanie & Marko: Reunited, they get a disco routine from Doriana Sanchez that is as far as ever and puts both of them off their game just a bit. Nigel says it was a bit of a struggle for them and he hopes to see better in their subsequent performances later in the night. Mary adores them, but says it needs to "pop" to another level. Kenny praises them and says they looked like they came straight out of "Saturday Night Fever," which Katie says they're beautiful and claims she understood the story they were telling -- with their disco routine.
Sasha & Mark: Sonya Tayeh cooks up a big, emotional contemporary routine for Sasha and all-star Mark that starts a little slow but picks up quickly. Mary gets al worked up and gives a hearty, "woo-hoo!!!" Kenny notes that it was a little bit of "art imitating life" and adds that it was like "Sasha Warrior Princess." Katie calls it powerful while Nigel says that Sasha just threw down "the gauntlet."
Tadd & Joshua: Lil C cooks up a hip-hop routine for B-boy Tadd to dance with Joshua, champion of Season 4. Kenny says it was a perfect pairing while Katie says it was "terrific." Nigel wasn't too wild about it, saying he found "a little too sweet."Mary says they "delivered everything" and did enough to produce a hard-hitting hip-hop routine.
Melanie & Robert: Melanie gets right back on the stage for a contemporary routine choreographed by Stacey Tookey. She dances with all-star Robert and redeems herself from the dismal disco routine earlier. Katie says every movement made sense to her and she believes "every story." Nigel agrees it was "beautifully danced," and points out a particular lift he thought was great. Mary says that "something special" happens when Melanie dances, as the whole room gets quiet. She says Melanie is in a class of her own. Kenny says he'd jump to the front of the line to work with her.
Sasha & Marko: Broadway brings a Spencer Liff routine for Sasha and Marko, who seems to perform it quite nicely, at least according to some judges. Nigel, however, isn't "knocked out" by it, noting that Sasha makes a better warrior princess than a vamp. Mary disagrees, saying they "pulled it off," and noting especially that she didn't believe it was really Marko. Kenny calls it "great fun" and says there's nothing they can't do, while Katie tells Sasha she admires her and tells Marko he's "incredible."
Solos from Melanie and Marko are followed by...
Sasha & Tadd: Mark Ballas continues the tradition of "Dancing with the Stars" pros coming over to "So You Think You Can Dance," except he has no direct history with the show, like most other "DWTS" stars do. He choreographs a cha-cha for Sasha and Marko. Kenny sees right through it, noting it was "too ambitious for tonight." Katie sees right, umm, past it, saying thank you to both of them and telling them they're "both strong dancers." Nigel tells Marko he couldn't cope with the style and says it wasn't good for Sasha, either. Mary also agrees that there were lots of problems with the routine, even though they had to deal with what was given to them.
Marko & Lauren: Tessandra Chavez gives Marko and all-star Lauren Performed to somewhat oddball music, Marko and Lauren show off some pretty decent moves. Katie says they creates pictures that were stunning,or something lie that. Nigel says Marko joined the finale with that routine because it was "a fabulous performance." Mary says Marko "thrust greatness" upon himself. Kenny says Marko swept him away,
Melanie & Tadd: After Tadd dances his solo, he takes to the floor with Melanie for a Ray Leeper routine. They get a routine that calls for stipping and throwing shoes and taking off of clothes, and it all works. Nigel says it brought his evening to life, then cracks jokes about Tadd not wearing clothes. He adds that Tadd "totally redeemed" himself with that routine. Mary says that Tadd brought sexy back. Kenny says that Melanie had him gripped to the stage before she even started dancing, and Katie says the routine was "a breath of fresh air."
Sasha & Melanie: After dancing her solo, Sasha returns to the stage with Melanie for a Stacey Tookey routine about repressed housewives. Once again, they send the whole crowd into a tizzy. Mary says it's beautiful to watch them dance together and she enjoyed "every single second" of the routine. Kenny says he felt helpless and curious and that it was a beautiful piece. Katie loved their outfits and Nigel tells them they could grace any dance company in the country.
Marko & Tadd: The guys get a gumboot stepping routine from Chuck Maldonado. It's a little out there and most of the judges are on board with the quirky concept. Kenny congratulates them and wishes them luck on Thursday while Katie tells them they're great. Mary says it was "solid gold" for her and she loved the concept, but Nigel says nothing that happened tonight changes his mind from the position he held at the beginning of the night, which is that a girl would win the competition.
