We're almost to the halfway point of the Season, and the eliminations aren't getting any easier. The fact that this is the last elimination before the all important Top 10 and the cut-off for the So You Think You Can Dance tour must make tonight's elimination especially difficult and bittersweet. Over the past two weeks a new group of favorites have risen from the not so smoldering remains of old favorites.

While I know who I think is going to be in danger tonight, America and I have disagreed before. So you don't have to just take my word, I've compiled the data from Fantasy TV picks slideshow rearrangements, showdowns, and poll votes to help deduce who we think will be going home tonight and who you think has what it takes to be crowned America's Favorite Dancer.

It's down to 12 on So You Think You Can Dance, so after tomorrow night we'll have our Top 10.  Cat Deeley is in the house, I'm watching, and Mary Murphy's vocal cords are ready to make your ear drums bleed.  This...is So You Think You Can Dance!

Let me kick off this little So You Think You Can Dance preview on a personal note.  Yes, that moment when I found out that Caitlin and Jason aren't going to the bottom three, like almost everybody--John and Abbey included--thought will happen.  I stuck by my decision, but being surrounded by people who knew the show more, I felt I was going to eat my words... but no.  For someone who's forever portrayed himself as a newbie who'll never always get it right, well, I was stoked.

But a week later, I somehow figured out the little conflict that alien dance had.  It was very weird, indeed, and some were turned off because it was too weird, or perhaps Caitlin's costume was too distracting.  But they had everything going for them: the choreography was good, the Santigold track chosen fit everything, and they did well, too.  Let me give it to them.  But it could've been more of a lucky break for them: no reason to be complacent.  They've been in the bottom three too many times to keep doing what they're doing.  Lots more to prove.

Last Thursday, Vitolio Jeune became the fourth male dancer to be eliminated from Season 5 of So You Think  You Can Dance.

A contemporary dancer, with a heart-wrenching and inspiring life story, Vitolio's presence made an indelible impact on the show and in the lives of fans who watched him dance. While we weren't able to see Vitolio perform in his genre, save three dance for your life solos, Vitolio will long be remembered for his emotional Viennese Waltz with partner Asuka. The choreography was inspired by Vitolio's life-story and had much of the audience, dancers, and Mary Murphy reaching for the tissue.

During our interview Vitolio and I discussed that emotional Viennese Waltz, how he's just as Twitter crazy as the SYTYCD judges, and how dancing saved his life. Vitolio was even kind enough to share some of the emails he received from inspired fans during his time on So You Think You Can Dance.

While we weren't surprised to see Karla Garcia be eliminated on last week's So You Think You Can Dance, we were disappointed. In spite of her short time on the show, Karla left an undeniable impression of professionalism and passion for dance, as well as performing my favorite routine of Season 5.

The multi-genre specialist of the season, we were looking forward to watching Karla wow the judges and audience with her dance chops -- showing them how it's done in Broadway, hip hop, contemporary, tap, and jazz. Unfortunately, and as we all know now, that's not how it happened. In spite of her best effort and one of the strongest Quicksteps in recent memory, Karla and her second partner Vitolio fell victim to the curse of the Quickstep.

Karla and I chatted about her favorite So You Think You Can Dance memories, both on and off stage,  how difficult it was loosing Jonathan and starting over with a new partner, and how being So You Think  You Can Dance was like riding a meteor. I asked a few of your Twitter questions, though I left out a Twitter marriage proposal, which Karla seemed bummed to have missed. Read the full interview below.

We've discussed a few of the performances that will come up on So You Think You Can Dance's 100th episode in a few weeks' time.   We already know that the Ramalama routine and the hummingbird routine and the bench routine will be there--and I'm still learning, I've got to admit--and obviously we should expect a few more things to come up as July 23 draws near.
