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?)
