'So You Think You Can Dance' recap: Finally, No Injuries!

Last night Adam Shankman learned a lesson in why live TV is so much fun! Adéchické and Courtney tackled a Tyce Diorio (which in Cat's British accent totally sounds like 'tasty Oreo,' right?) jazz routine, which Adam called ''balls-out dancing.'' Ooops. That just happened. But don't worry, Adam. I have it on good authority that worse things have happened on live television. Just ask Janet Jackson. But Adam was right: The routine was great, and Adéchické is in it to win it. And after last night, I might be willing to admit that if he won it all, I'd be perfectly content.

But that was before his dance with Lauren. During their foxtrot, I became aware that I felt uncomfortably hot. Maybe Adéchické and Lauren really were giving me a fever. I was really impressed until I realized the non air-conditioned apartment I was sitting in had induced my hot flash. It definitely wasn't their dancing. I expected so much more from two of my favorite dancers. Instead, all I got was a little sweaty and disappointed. The judges weren't overly impressed either, and they criticized the two for their lacking ballroom technique. I hope this misstep (ha) doesn't send them to the bottom three, because I would be completely heartbroken if Adéchické or Lauren leaves.

But Lauren's solo reminded me what a brilliant dancer she is. It literally gave me goosebumps. Unfortunately, her Tyce Diorio Broadway routine didn't live up to expectations. I blame her awesome solo for setting the bar too high. The routine did bring us Uncle Nigel's gem of mistakenly calling SYTYCD American Idol. (Just tell us who the new judges are already!)

And this brings me to Jose. All I have to say about Jose is... no way. This one completely boggles my mind. Never in the history of So You Think You Can Dance has someone with as limited technical skill made it this far. And with each week, it just becomes increasingly obvious that Jose's exit is long overdue. So when he stepped into his hip-hop 'comfort' zone (hardy har, Cat) all I could do was groan. His time has come to say goodbye. Barring a move in his solo in which his arm moved independent from the rest of his body, (he's talented in his own b-boy style), Jose gave two weak performances. Although the judges seemed to think he held his own with Kent in their Broadway routine, Nigel finally admitted that it might be his last week here. (Did you hear that sound, too? I think it was the hallelujah chorus.) Jose was outshined by all-star Comfort and Kent, and if he's not sent home tonight, prepare to read quite the rant in my next post. If everyone continues to be dramatic about his cute smile, then I can be dramatic about his overdue exit.

So who do you think is going to get cut? You know how I feel about Jose, but I'm not sure who should join him. I like everyone else too much. Do you think Lauren can recover from a so-so night? She hasn't been in the bottom three yet. And are Billy Bell's days truly numbered? And last, but certainly not least, does anyone else hear 'tasty Oreo' when Tyce's name is mentioned by Cat?
