Learn more- Thursday night brought the first elimination of the fifth season of "So You Think You Can Dance?" and host Cat Deeley said it wouldn't be easy. While the pack is fairly impressive this season, it probably won't be too difficult to cut the 19th- and 20th-place finishers of the season. Stay tuned.
The finalists performed an opening hip-hop routine to Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow."
After an opening time-waster -- er, insightful feature about how the couples worked together -- we got to some quick results. The bottom three couples would be announced and each of those dancers would have to perform a solo before the judges decided which guy and which girl would go home.
First up were Kayla & Max, Randi & Evan and Jeanine & Phillip. After quick recaps of their performances, Cat announced Kayla & Max were safe. After the vote, Randi & Evan were safe. Phillip & Jeanine were also safe, sending Jeanine into a squealing fit.
The next group included Caitlin & Jason, which were immediately told they were safe.
Melissa & Ade were up next, and also got the news they were safe for at least another week.
That left Ashley & Kupono and Paris & Tony. After the vote, Paris & Tony were in the bottom three. Adam Shankman said he wasn't surprised by that revelation.
Down to the final three couples, only one would be safe. Asuka & Vitolio were the first to learn they were in the bottom three. Mary said it didn't really shock her and told the dancers to bring it in their solos.
Jeanette & Brandon and Karla & Jonathan were left to learn their fates, and Cat revealed that Karla & Jonathan were the last of the bottom three couples.
After some guest performers did a sizzling tango, Paris was the first dancer to perform a solo, followed by Tony, Asuka and Vitolio. After a break, Karla and Jonathan performed their solos.
Rapper Sean Kingston performed "Fire Burning" while the judges deliberated.
Finally, the judges returned to their tables and Nigel said they were unanimous with the result for the girls. He asked Karla to step forward and told her they thought she was very good and did enough to stay in the competition. That left Paris and Asuka. Nigel said it was based on not just their dancing, but also who else was in the competition. Nigel told Paris he didn't think she brought all she could Thursday night and with all the other contemporary dancers on the show this season, she was going home.
Nigel said the judges were, again, all in agreement. He said none of them were particularly good enough to stay in the competition much longer. Nigel told Vitolio he should try to regain his personality, because he's staying in the competition. That left Jonathan and Tony, and ultimately Tony just didn't do enough. He's gone.
