The remaining nine finalists gave it their all on So You Think You Can Dance last night in what was the best episode of the season to date. The new crew has finally arrived.
After a scattered first few weeks, with the show seemingly experimenting with its new format so much that some of the dancing was lost in the shuffle, this was vintage Sytycd.
Let's get right down to it, because the Top 9 certainly didn't waste any time, with Adechike and Lauren the first to dance, to a hip-hop routine that let them really let loose.
Part fun and flirty and part sexy and serious, the judges appeared to love it almost as much as we did, kicking off Wednesday's top nine performances in terrific fashion.
Next was a contemporary routine Ashley performed with Ade. At first we were sure he would outshine her, but without a doubt, Ashley brought her A-game this week.

What the heck? Cristina Santana is a fabulous salsa dancer –- and Melinda Sullivan just leaves me cold!
Cristina Santana started off as my least favorite dancer on So You Think You Can Dance this that she was sent home this week – especially when Melinda Sullivan so should have been sent packing in her place!
Sure, I admired the 22-year-old tap dancer’s enthusiastic June 24 solo performance, as well as her lovely “Mother Earth” dance with all-star Ade Obayomi on Wednesday night, but I just couldn’t seem to connect with her. Like judge Nigel Lythgoe has been saying every week, she’s just too cold!
I was also shocked to see Robert Roldanmake make a bottom three appearance. I was bored with his solo! That said, I also would have been super bummed if he’d have gotten kicked off. Adechike Torbert, on the other hand,...

The female contestants of "So You Think You Can Dance" this season proved to be less popular than the boys. After the elimination of Alexie Agdeppa last week, two more found themselves in the bottom three. Melinda Sullivan and Cristina Santana were in danger along with Robert Roldan.
These three danced for their lives as the last effort to impress the judges and stay in competition. Melinda danced the tap to Q-Tip's "Heels", Cristina did the salsa to "Quimbara" while Robert composed a contemporary piece with "Everywhere I Go". After some consideration, the judges put Roberto back in the Top 9 and weighed in between Melinda and Cristina.
Head judge Nigel Lythgoe announced that the votes were not unanimous. Adam Shankman and Mia Michaels wanted to keep Melinda while Nigel did not because he thought she can't connect with viewers well. But due to voice majority, Cristina, the only ballroom dancer this season,...

Following the surprise elimination of Alexie Agdeppa last week, the remaining four girls and six guys on So You Think You Dance were on notice - nothing can be taken for granted.
This week, the show continued to switch up its format (which makes it a little hard to get into the groove, to be honest), with the top 10 pulling their All-Star partners out of a hat.
With the All-Star choice came the selected style of dance. Another big change was that this time, the partners were in on the critiquing along with the crop of Sytycd hopefuls.
It's unclear if the All-Stars are, or should be part of the critique, or whether they should get lost and leave the contestant as the focus. Feels like they're making it up as they go.
That said, there was terrific dancing as always.
The Top 10: Tonight, only nine will remain.

Last night's So You Think You Can Dance performance show was probably one of the weirdest in the show's history. Apart from Cat Deeley's inappropriately funny invitation and the judges trying to fix what seemed to be broke last week, almost all of the dancers danced outside of their genres. And the weirdest thing of them all: despite the shake-up, our picks for elimination are still the same.
So, yes, treat this as a repeat of last week's Who's Going Home piece, only without Alexie Agdeppa's name on it. BuddyTV's resident Sytycd mavens (that'd be John Kubicek and yours truly) have the same bottom three, and you, the fans who voted on our polls and on Fantasy TV, thought the same thing. Simply put, we're still culling the weakest of the pack -- that's totally subjective too, as I love Melinda -- and things will only get interesting...

So You Think You Can Dance eliminee Alexie Agdeppa has said that it is "an advantage" being paired with all-star performers. The seventh run of the Fox competition will see this season's hopefuls performing with a different former contestant each week. Agdeppa - who was partnered with Twitch for her hip-hop routine on Wednesday night - told Digital Spy that he had been "helpful" at offering advice during their time together. "It's an advantage having the all-stars this season... You definitely get nervous, especially if you aren't dancing in your genre and the movement is more foreign to you than if I were to pick up a jazz or contemporary routine," (more)...

The adorable Alexie Agdeppa was sent home on So You Think You Can Dance last night, and I didn't buy judge Mia Michaels's explanation that Alexie's hard work "didn't show" during her performance. No way. Her performance was fine -- if uneventful -- but I think the whimsical trills of Jason Mraz blew it for her. When you hear his faux-reggae styling, do you want to dance the dance of a lifetime? No. You want to stay in Aeropostale a little longer and pick out another $7.99 pair of cargo shorts. It's mall music, ladies! That's just the truth.
Whatever the reason, Alexie is gone -- and we have video of her ill-fated dance and Mia Michaels's comments after the jump.

Someone had to go — and Alexie definitely deserved to be the first eliminated contestant from So You Think You Can Dance this season!
There were group hugs, silly dancing and lots of tears on So You Think You Can Dance’s first elimination show of the season June 17 when jazz dancer Alexie Agdeppa got the boot — but honestly, she deserved to go!
Despite the critiques the 26-year-old jazz dancer received from the judges, I was unimpressed by her hip-hop performance with Twitch. That said, it was sad to see her go, especially after finding out how many times she had tried out for the show (Four in total), and she Was truly adorable, but as judge Mia Michaels said, “cute” can only get you so far!
Although Alexie’s elimination wasn’t all that surprising, watching Cristina Santana having to dance for her life Was a shock. She became a...

Last night, the Los Angeles Lakers won their 16th NBA title, setting off celebrations throughout the City of Angels. It was a bittersweet night for a former Laker Girl, however.
Alexie Agdeppa as she became the first So You Think You Can Dance contestant eliminated by the voters this season, after the 26-year-old cutie's spunk couldn't save her.
The three judges, who unanimously chose to send her home, didn't foresee a long run for the effervescent former cheerleader, even though we were a bit surprised at the decision.
After the Top 11 performances, we thought Melinda Sullivan and Adechike Torbert stood the worst chances of advancing, with Cristina Santana potentially at risk as well.
Melinda and Cristina joined Alexie in the bottom three.
It was one and done for Alexie Agdeppa and Twitch Boss.
The top 11 opened the show dressed in white and gold attire, with the guys outshining the girls...

Though June 17 was a great night for the Los Angeles Lakers, it was a tough one for former Laker Girl Alexie Agdeppa as she became the first "So You Think You Can Dance" contestant eliminated by the voters. Hopefully, all the celebrating going on in the streets outside her Downtown L.A. home serves to cheer her up.
The hip hop performance that got Alexie the boot was choreographed by Tabitha and Napoleon Dumo, to Jason Mraz's super-sexy song "Butterfly." She danced with all-star Twitch, who we'll see in this summer's "Step Up 3D." The judges didn't think Alexie's talent matched Twitch's.
Alexie was joined in the bottom three by Christina, who the judges thought had "fire," but not enough precision. On the other hand, Melinda needs to bring "more fire" if she wants to stick around. Nigel Lythgoe said that Alexie performed in a juvenile way, though, at 26 years old,...

The dancer was sent home on tonight's live results episode after falling into the bottom three alongside Melinda Sullivan and Cristina Santana. Each of the contestants - who received the lowest number of public votes - had performed for the judges again with Nigel Lythgoe, Mia Michaels and Adam Shankman ultimately deciding to eliminate Agdeppa.

After a truncated audition period and last Thursday's weird exhibition episode, So You Think You Can Dance got underway last night, its pairs competing for the first time.
Camera and audio issues aside, it was as good or better than we remember from previous years. The new format with the newcomers and All-Stars is intriguing as well.
Here's a breakdown of the Top 11 performances last night ...
Billy Bell & Lauren Gottlieb: Their Broadway bit by Tyce Diorio was alright, but the steps didn't really follow the beat; Billy stood out, but their chemistry was lacking.
That fact was noted by Nigel, as well. Adam even said Billy needs to focus on the intangibles, since the steps come so naturally. Mia was proud of him in the new genre.
Cristina Santana & Mark Kanemura: Sonya wanted a sexy, sensual jazz routine, and thanks in part to her all-star partner, Cristina...

In this "So You Think You Can Dance" edition of Z-Wind, we dig deeper into two of the contestants' TV backgrounds.
Before tap dancer Melinda Sullivan landed in the Top 11, she was on daytime TV over on CBS' "As the World Turns."
Sullivan, along with Nicholas Galbraith, played fraternal twins Zoe and Zac Finn who were up to a lot of mischief and therefore, a lot of fun, even if they are a bit creepy.
In this clip, the twins meet gay couple Luke Snyder and Noah Mayer (Van Hansis and Jake Silbermann) and have a proposal.
Less soapy is this next clip featuring Alexie Agdeppa who starred as Grace, one of "The Huggabub Club" members approximately 15 years ago.
We get an early look at her dance moves but also get to hear her sing.
Were Melinda and Alexie stars in the making?

Really, So You Think You Can Dance? We're big fans and all, for many seasons now, and you look even more amazing in HD (we just upgraded after all these years).
But there was no competition last night, nor did we even get to see what the Top 11 or the All-Stars are really all about - if you missed it, you officially missed nada.
This was like a preseason game after the first three weeks of the regular season. What's the point? Why not jump right into the competition and elimination rounds?
We appreciated the truncated audition rounds, but Thursday was pure filler, no way around it, with random routines and the dancing groups arbitrarily grouped at that.
There were plenty of memorable moves, to be sure, but it was hard to even know who to watch sometimes. If this were the post-show tour, it would've worked more.

Just five episodes into the season and the auditions/callbacks portion is already complete. Last night we learned which 10 (11?) dancers will be making it to the So You Think You Can Dance finals, and the accelerated format pushed the drama and tension to new heights.
Compounding the stress for contestants and viewers is the simple fact that this season, there are also fewer spots. The finalists will be paired with all-stars, which will up the quality of the performances, but leave a bunch of worthy, first-timer hopefuls out in the cold.
But the cream rises to the top, as they say, and last night was no exception as the finalists - as predicted by our So You Think You Can Dance spoilers - were revealed.
On the second day of Las Vegas callbacks, "only" 58 dancers remained. The Broadway portion of the rigorous day shellacked a bunch of pretenders out of the running.

As previously hinted, there are 11 instead of 10 dancers who qualify to the semi-final round of "So You Think You Can Dance" this season. Head judge Nigel Lythgoe previously told Zap2It that only one between Alex Wong and Billy Bell would make it but it turns out that both are qualified to dance in front of live audience.
However, the final showdown was not between Alex and Billy but it was Billy against Robert Roldan in the last spot. Joining them are fellow contemporary dancers Ade Chike Torbert and Kent Boyd, in addition to Alex and Jose "Full Deck" Ruiz.
The girls are more variable in terms of their dancing genre. They are salsa dancer Cristina Santana, tap dancer Melinda Sullivan, jazz dancer Alexie Agdeppa, contemporary dancer Lauren Froderman and lyrical dancer Ashley Galvan.
In other words there are six men and five women in the Top 11. In a change of format,...
