'So You Think You Can Dance': Karen and Victor are eliminated from the contest

After five weeks of performances on "So You Think You Can Dance" the top 20 have lastly been narrowed down to the top 10 with the elimination of Karen and Victor from the contest. I predicted in an former blog that Karen and Victor would be leaving the show, and that is precisely how things went down last night. The only real surprise of the night was when season favorites Ellenore and Ryan were voted into the base three couples. I was beautiful shocked by this because they were one of the stronger couples of the night, right at the top with Ashleigh and Jakob and Kathryn and birthright. There are so many good dancers this season, that it only makes sense that high-quality dancers will sometimes land in the bottom. And as management producer and jury Nigel Lithgoe said, the pair shouldn't look at it as being voted into the bottom, they just weren't voted into the top 6. The top 10 dancers have protected a place in the "SYTYCD" live tour and they continue on into the contest next week when all current couples will be split apart and draw new partners at random. Also, next week marks the first week in the competition where the American public really votes for the one guy and one girl who will depart the competition.

'Dancing With the Stars': It's losing to the Miss Perfects, the old dog, and the underdog

It's the charmers versus the swans as we get down to the final four couples twirling on "Dancing With the Stars."

Not that Donny Osmond and Kelly Osbourne are slouches in the dancing section, or that Mya and Joanna Krupa are all fancy footwork and no charisma. But while the latter two are clearly the stronger dancers, with longer, more elegant lines, Donny and Kelly - the biggest underdog of the bunch - are clearly crowd pleasers.

Carrie Ann Inaba may have said it most excellent, responding to a rhumba from Kelly and partner Louis Van Amstel: "You have this supernatural quality . . . you reach right into my heart and make me love you."

Now the question is, did she do the equal for the audience?
On the first ever demonstrate in which celebs had to perform three routines in one night, Mya once again was the standout, earning a wonderful score of 30 for a samba that was one of the most sparkling routines of the entire season.

She and partner Dmitry Chaplin finished the night with a terrifyingly near flawless score of 87 out of 90 for their three routines combined. Joanna and partner Derek Hough were in second overall with 81 out of 90. Kelly Osbourne edged out Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson for third, with full scores of 78 and 74 respectively.

So You Think You Can Dance Backstage dipper: Which Solo Was "Horrid"?

Tonight on So You Think You Can Dance we learned that while a extraordinary solo can save a dancer in danger, a totally terrible solo won't necessarily get you sent home if you have previously banked enough "star moments" and sex appeal in the minds of the jury.
We've got the scoop from behind the scenes at SYTYCD that reveals why a "very good" dancer went home in place of the dancer with one of the most unchoreographed and random solos in new memory...

Channing Cooke and Kevin Hunte were eliminated this week, despite a catastrophic solo by Karen Hauer and last week's comprehensive lecture from executive producer Nigel Lythgoe on how the performers always need to dance as if their lives depend on it.

So how bad was Karen? When we talked to judge Mary Murphy afterward, she was still reeling in reaction: "Karen's solo was unpleasant. I'm a ballroom dancer, and she's a ballroom dancer, and after that I shook my head and said, 'I'm not sure what she was doing just now! I didn't even recognize what that was.' " Nonetheless, the judges raved backstage about Karen's earlier star work, especially in her hip-hop with Kevin, and they decided to saved her. (Does anyone else suspect that last season's lack of a breakout personality has led the jury to perhaps slightly overemphasize star quality this season? Perhaps the judges' "producer" tendencies are showing a bit more than is severely smart?)
