So You Think You Can Dance Top 14

Last Wednesday the top 14 dancers performed and this week brought about a wonderful change for fans of the show. Each couple performed 2 routines!
Jessica and Will were the first couple of the night. Their first dance was a Jive and this did it very well. Their 2nd dance was and amazing jazz choreographied by Mandy Moore done to Heart's "Alone", and a shirt was the center piece. This dance had passion written all over it, and Will was shirtless, and damn! I really wish the judges would stop be so hard on Jessica, I can't see what she is doing wrong and i think she did an amazing job in this number, it was one of the top ones for the night!
Comfort and Thayne were next, and this was thier first week dancing as a couple. Thier first dance was Broadway and their second dance was a very elegant smooth waltz.
Couple 3 was Kourtni and Matt. their first dance was a very dull Hip Hop number.
Thier second dance was a Mambo that I didn't enjoy very much at all.
Chelsie and Mark were to follow. Their first number was a Jazz routine choreographed by Mandy Moore. It was a fun and lighthearted dance. Thier second dance was a Foxtrot choreographed by Edward Simon.
The 5th couple of the night was the magnificant Twitchington. Their first dance was a Paso Doble that I thought was awesome!. Kherington looked ready to kick some booty! I enjoyed every moment of this dance, it was entertaining! Second, they danced a contemporary routine choreographed by Mia Michaels. This was a win win combination. You have Mia, Twitch, Kherington, and a bed. they told the story of a broken hearted Twitch and it was really good and believable.
Now we had Katee and Joshua, who don't know how to dissapoint. Their first dance was a contemporaty routine by Mia. It told the story of two people living their lives only focused on themselves. It was flawless, and they did some unbelievable moves, like the assisted run floating accross the stage. Love these two. Second came the West Coast Swing by Benji. It was entertaining and the costumes couldnt have been brighter. It is always a delight to have Benji make an appearance.
The last couple was Courtney and Gev. First they did a Hip Hop routine that i thought was okay. Courtney was more hard hitting than Gev I thought. Second they did a Broadway routine where they were tourists in New York. I didnt love this as much as the judges did, but it was a good routine.
It was a very satisfying evening!
Results.
This week Kourtni and Matt go home. I don't think this was a surprise. Neither of these dancers seemed to grow throughout their time on the show.
