It's Top 10 time on So You Think You Can Dance. That means: new partners, guaranteed spots on So You Think You Can Dance tour, and voting for your favorite individual dancer instead of couples. Basically, So You Think You Can Dance becomes a completely different competition tonight, and I for one, am excited.

Tonight, each of the new couples will be performing one routine together and each of the dancer's will be performing a solo routine. There will also be two group routines this week--one for the boys, one for the girls. Watch along with me tonight as we see the new couples take the stage for the first time and as we take one choreographed step closer to choosing America's Favorite Dancer. As always, not only will I be live thought-ing here, I'll also be tweeting the show over at BuddyTV_SYTYCD. Now, let's dance!


Does anyone else think that it's interesting (and by interesting I mean infuriating) that the voice over asks, "who will strut into the PRODUCERS hearts" and not America's? Aren't we the one deciding this thing now, or have they decided to completely give up that fallacy? Not going to lie Mr. FOX Voice Over Man, we just started off tonight on the wrong foot. Like a step on the one count, when it's supposed to be on two.

Alright, so let's get out of the funk and on to the dance floor. It's time for So You Think You Can Dance!

Cat's looking gorgeous in another sleeveless dress this week. This one is emerald green, and fits worlds better than the pink one of a couple weeks ago.

Ha! Brandon is actually dressed like Carlton Banks tonight during the intro dances, must not have been the only one to notice that striking similarity. Randi however has not dropped the unfortunate unitard.

Tonight's guest judge is Debbie Allen. Can we agree that as technically competent as she is as a judge, she's kind of a yawn? At least she seems cheery tonight, but she admits she threw chocolate at the TV Screen in anger at the judges while watching at home. Though she admits three of her top ladies and three of her top guys are still on stage. Who do you think Debbie's favorites are? I'm betting 100% Brandon and Kayla, who else, I'm not sure. 

First dance tonight is the girls group dance, which will be a Bollywood routine choreographed by Nakul. Nakul says the girls better expected to sweat, because the dance is fast fast fast. Nakul dubs the group "The Bollywood Bombshells," which is pretty fricking cute. And pretty fricking true. These ladies are all gorgeous, on and off the dance floor.

Hey, So You Think You Can Dance, time to get new Bollywood costumes. They are beautiful, but always a variation of  the same.

The dance is super fast and  full of details, and some creepy work with masks on the back of the girls heads. They're dancing really well as a group, the synchronicity is great, especially considering the details. Everyone is really bringing it tonight, there's no one who my eyes go to right away, which is both good and bad. Great job by the Bollywood Bombshells.

It was only a matter of time before Nigel decided to rhyme Nakul and Cool. Then he gets all creepy Uncle saying this is the most beautiful Top 5 girls of all time. (No offense to any of the previous Season's girls who I complimented creepily...) Nigel and I are in agreement that all of the girls stood out, no one was the star -- great group effort. Then he says the ladies have landed a ticket on his "Bangers and Mash Train," which somehow sounds creepier than Mary's Hot Tamale Train. Mary says the routine wasn't Bollywood, but Bollywow. Mary also agrees, the group all did so well that it's impossible to call out a star. As for guest judge Debbie Allen? She also thinks this Top 5 Ladies are the strongest ever. What do you think? I'm going to have to sit on that one.
