I’m always a bit bummed out when the first two couples are sent home on a new season of So You Think You Can Dance. By the time we get to the Top 20, I’m always in love with watching all the dancers and hate, really HATE to see anyone have to leave…especially after only one performance!
But this week, the daince competition finally geared up for real. The level of talent is always amazing, but this season it seems even more spectacular than ever! I loved all of the performances this week, but after the ten routines, the judges chose to send home the newest addition to the Top 20, Brandon and also Ariana.

Nigel told Brandon that since he was added under special circumstances and only had a day and a half to prepare, he was going to ask for special permission for Brandon to try out again next season. I hope he’s allowed to.
After the elimination, these were the Top 18 Dancers. We’ll see them perform next week.
