..., Lauren, and Kathryn dancing back up. All I could think was how versatile Kathryn is - she can do totally sublime contemporary, and then shake her booty like a video vixen. Dominic, Twitch, and Ade came out for some low-key b-boy dancing. The song is catchy as hell,...Alex and Ashley not been axed due to injury, he would have gone out somewhere around F6. (The same is arguably true of AdeChike, though.) I like Robert and I think he has done a mostly fine job on this show, but I'm hard pressed to point to any routines where I feel like he has delivered a finale-worthy performance. I can think...

...Think You Can Dance,” which is both exciting and a little sad, as it’s just another reminder that the real shoe-in for the season finale is sitting on the sidelines. Yes, I know, you’re probably tired of hearing Alex, Alex, Alex, but even watching last night’s sometimes stellar, sometimes wince-worthy performances... to perform his song from the...eliminations.

2010-07-23 / TV Fanatic
After Alex Wong and Ashley Galvan couldn't even perform the last two weeks, rendering the results show effectively moot, Billy Bell was in the same position last night. Billy, who didn't perform with the top six Wednesday, was on the block with Robert Roldan and Jose Ruiz. Lauren Froderman, Kent Boyd and Adechike...at all. He sat out. Obviously Alex wasn't returning from his injury at any point this season, but Ashley wasn't nearly as badly hurt. Why not give her the chance to come back too? It's strange. Do you agree with the So You Think You Can Dance judges' controversial move? Are they making...

He could really have blown me away with his movement alone, but he danced this so passionately; he was really in character, desperately wanted ...Billy and not liking Kent and Robert as well though. What do you guys think?

Kent and Jose particularlly were heartbreaking to watch. And watching Alex try to talk to Cat without completely...injury. I think no matter what he chooses to do, we will be seeing Alex Wong in some dancer capacity again. And lastly, if they knew already that Alex was going home, why bother with the bottom three/dance for your life thing. I mean, I get that they had to fill the time, but couldn't they have had another performance...
