Learn more- Just six contestants remained, but that number on Thursday would be trimmed to the final four dancers still in the running for the title of America's favorite dancer on "So You Think You Can Dance?"
Guest judge Adam Shankman announced that in addition to the $100,000 cash prize and the spot in a Las Vegas show, the winning dancer will also get a featured role in an upcoming movie he's producing. No details. That's just the prize. So, you know, yay!
After the first commercial break, judge Nigel Lythgoe went all "Debbie Downer" on the dancers, telling them that they'll have to prepare themselves for rejection. In a minute-long speech, he said the word rejection -- or some form of it -- seven times, telling them dancers that by the end of the show, five of them will have been rejected. He said they should not dwell on it, but use it to propel themselves toward other opportunities. He then told them that each of them pulled in more than 1 million votes after Wednesday's performance show.
Mary got emotional while telling them how proud she is of the progress they've made, and Adam told them to cherish the experience they've had on the show and to treat their fans well. All six dancers then performed their solos, and it would be the last time around the stage for two of them.
Child's play: The first guest performer was a six-year-old breakdancer named "Lil Demon," who backspun and handstood all over the stage and put smiles on everyone's faces. Later, Lady Gaga went all techno on us and performed "Just Dance."
No more kidding around: After the break, host Cat Deeley was afraid it was time to get down to business and start reading the results. With the three girls on stage, Cat first addressed Courtney and we got clips of her performance from Wednesday. We were next walked through Katee's performances, then Chelsie's. Cat let Katee off the hook, announcing that she was safe even though that didn't necessarily mean she pulled the most votes.
The guys were up next, with a long, drawn-out batch of highlight reels showing us Mark, Joshua and Twitch's performances before announce the first safe guy: Joshua.
Back to the girls, Cat was ready to announce which would move on to the finale and which would go home. The one moving on was ... Courtney. Chelsie took it like a pro, smiling and cheerfully watching her highlight reel roll. She cried later and said she was "really, really grateful" for the opportunity.
To the guys, it was down to Mark and Twitch for the final spot in the finale. And it went to ... Twitch. Mark embraced Twitch and lifted him up and said it had just been an amazing experience.
The big finish: Next week, it comes down to Twitch, Joshua, Katee and Courtney for the title, the $100,000, and the show on the Vegas strip ... oh, and that "featured" dance role in Adam Shankman's non-specific next movie.
