So You Think You Can Dance Top 12

Last Wednesday the top 12 dancers took to the stage. And I feel like more of the dancer's personality's are starting to come out!
The first couple to take the stage were Chelsie and Mark. Their first routine was an Alex Da Silva salsa routine which was very entertaining to watch and very hot! They had a very sexy night in fact. There second dance was a Broadway routine by Tyce Diorio done to "I'm A Woman". This was a sexy, bluesy number where Chelsie was the hot girl Mark was after. Both really committed to their characters!
The second couple was Comfort and Thayne. Their first dance was a Hip Hop routine by Tabitah and Napoleon. There wasn't any real connection between the two of them and they don't really add anything to their routines. Their second routine was a contemporary routine. They are my least favorite couple of the evening.
Jessica and Will were third. Their first dance was a very sensual contemporary routine set in the Garden of Eden and choreographed by Tyce. The judges finally complimented Jessica for her performance! Mary even thought this was one of the most amazing pieces ever done on the show! Their second dance was a Quickstep by Tony and Meredith. The most exciting part was the opening in which Will did a nice tumbling routine. Other than that it was pretty slow. The judges really were hard on Jessica for this one. Especially Mia. I thought she was down right mean. I definitely prefer when she choreographs because then we not only get to see her work, we also don't have to hear her critiques...
Next we had Courtney and Gev. Their first dance was a Cha Cha to "Don't Stop The Music" and was choreographed by two old favorites Pasha and Anya. It was really fast and fun to watch. And, best of all, Gev admitted on national television to shaving his chest. it was pretty entertaining and Gev is really becoming one of my favorites! Their next dance was a Mandy Moore jazz routine where they played the roll of people lost on safari and utilized a map. These two really had a wonderful night with two very entertaining routines!
Twitch and Kherington were the next couple to take to the stage. First, they did a crump by Lil C. It was really hard hitting and Kherington really did good with this one until she lost some steam towards the end. Next they did a Tango by Jean-Marc that was based on Mr and Mrs Smith. Didn't feel like there was much of a fight going on there. They didn't have their best night tonight and Kherington seemed a bit off. These two have been one of my favorite couples since the start and I hope they recover. I would hate to see either one go home.
The last couple of the night were Katee and Joshua. There first dance was a Viennese Waltz where Joshua was a "ghost" that Katee could feel but not see. I really enjoyed it and it had some very difficult lifts including the "snake". Katee was gorgeious in this one! There second dance was a first for the show. It was a bollywood routine (Indian culture). The only thing I didn't like about this number was that in ended. I could have watched it forever!!!

Results show:
The six dancers in danger were:
Comfort and Thayne
Twitch and Kherington
Jessica and Will

At this point I am thinking I will be pissed if Kherington or Twitch go home, but at the same time I was happy they were in the bottom three couples because their solos were amazing to watch! Twitch did a hip hop routine to a violin solo.
In the end, Comfort and Thayne were the two sent home. Now we have our top 10 and I like all of them! It will be so difficult to see any of them go home from here on out.
