Results Show: Two Dancers Eliminated

After a reminder from host Cat Deeley that the fans have chosen who will go home tonight, we're off and running for an elimination Thursday night. The show kicks off with a Bollywood group dance choreographed by Nakul Dev Mahajan. Cat then tells us three of the show's choreographers, Shane Sparks, Wade Robson and Mandy Moore, have been nominated for Emmy Awards based on their work for the show, along with the show's makeup team. We're losing two dancers tonight and for the first time in the season our judges - this week Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and Lil C - will have no input. Following a recap of Wednesday night we get the second of what will be three group dances, the five girls performing a contemporary routine choreographed by Mia Michaels. It is a slow, dark and dramatic number, performed to Celine Dion's version of "Ave Maria." We're now going to learn via Cat the names of the bottom two girls, with both having to perform solos later. First up is Chelsie, who is . . . not the first dancer in that bottom duo. Next is Comfort, brought back because of an injury to Jessica despite being voted off the week before. "Are you one of bottom two girls?" Cat asks. "Yes, you are," comes the answer. Katee, the judge-wowing machine, is the next to face Cat (although this re-capper isn't sure why we're bothering). "You are safe," Cat tells her. That leaves Courtney and Kherington as the final two girls on stage. "After last nights vote, Courtney . . . its not you." (Curse you, Cat. This heart can't take suspense like that.) So that's it: Either Comfort or Kherington will be gone tonight. Our last group dance is just the guys; the fivesome performing a dance put together by what Cat tells us is "a mystery choreographer." The guys are in sneakers, tanks and jogging pants doing a Broadway-ish routine to "Five Guys Named Moe" by Joe Jackson. "Any guesses?" Cat asks us, before revealing that it was our very own English super-producer and judge, Nigel Lythgoe. Joshua is the first of the guys to face Cat's delicious den of drama, hearing that "yes, you are" safe tonight. Will also receives good news, joining Joshua in safety offstage. We could "possibly" be losing Mark tonight, as Cat tells him he is in the bottom two. The result being Gev and Twitch will be battling for our final safe slot. "After last nights vote, the dancer safe is . . . Twitch." So, either Mark or Gev will be going home in a few minutes. Despite not counting for anything, the show is going to
