Sorry this post is very, very late. At least I got it in before tonight's new episode.
The group number was choreographed by Sonya Tayeh and Dmitry Chaplin. I like it OK, but definitely ready for something different with the group numbers instead of these dark, intense dances.
Anna Kendrick was the guest judge. She looked so tiny sitting in that judges' table.
Curtis Holland was injured and would not be performing. The minute I heard the news I knew that he would be out if he ended up in the bottom three.
Most favorite routines
1) Jasmine and Aaron's contemporary from Justin Giles. I am amazed at how well they can dance even with an apple as a prop. Jasmine and Aaron were so in sync as usual, and they really conveyed the story well. I couldn't believe it when Jasmine ended up in the bottom three.
2) Hayley and Leonardo's tango by Miriam Larici and Leonardo Barrionuevo. Leonardo stepped in for the injured Curtis to dance this tango. Poor Curtis, but lucky Hayley. She looked amazing dancing this tango with Leonardo. It was hard to take my eyes off Leonardo, though. He was so perfect and spoke so much with so few movements.
3) Makenzie and Paul's jazz from Sonya Tayeh. As an aside, are Makenzie and Paul really dating or is this a showmance? I like this number because Makenzie and Paul really went for it. I don't understand why viewers kept putting Makenzie on the bottom - she's an amazing dancer who seems really goofy, too.
Least favorite routines
1) Jenna and Tucker's hip hop from Luther Brown. So many things wrong with this routine. Jenna and Tucker did not hit the moves hard enough, and they were not believable. Plus it was weird that this supposed club only had two people in it.
2) Malece and Alan's salsa from Jonathan Platero. Mr. Y and I did not remember Jonathan at all from season 5, but that was also the season with Jeanine, Evan, Kayla, Brandon, Ade, Phillip, Janette, and Melissa. Jonathan was unfortunately lost in the shuffle among the other more memorable contestants. I didn't think this couple had any chemistry, and I thought Malece struggled to keep up with Alan, who was right at home in his genre.
Eliminations
I was correct about the three guys in the bottom three, but did not expect the other two girls other than Alexis. How did Makenzie and Jasmine end up in the bottom three when they were amazing last week?
The judges saved Makenzie immediately, and Jasmine and Alexis had to do solos. Jasmine's solo was great, but Alexis's was just meh. It was not a surprise that Alexis was eliminated. Curtis was also eliminated, and unlike last week, they actually got the goodbye video packages.
Predictions on who will be in trouble tonight:
Boys: Tucker, Alan, Nico
Girls: Jenna, Makenzie, Malece
