The Top 10 Perform

"Finally," host Cat Deeley tells us, we're down the final ten. Cat adds that now America's voting will be the only factor in who advances and who is cut. Before we get going, Jessica comes out and informs Cat that she has broken a few of her ribs and is out of the competition. Left with an odd number of female dancers, the show has decided to bring back the recently booted Comfort for tonight's show. Cat introduces us to tonight's judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and Lil' C, adding again that the threesome no longer has to make any cuts, with only the public's vote deciding future eliminations. The couples have been changed at random, with the girls drawing a new guy from a hat. Also, since the public will be voting on its favorite individuals, everybody will be dancing a solo during the show. Courtney & Joshua: Hip hop choreographer Dave Scott puts together a Bride of Frankenstein routine that had Joshua "excited" and Courtney happy she had Joshua as a partner. Lil' C thought Joshua "killed it" and seemed pleasantly surprised with Courtney. Mary thought Joshua stole the show, finding Courtney "just respectable." Solo: Chelsie does a rather uneventful spinning routine to Rihanna's "Pon de Replay." (It doesn't look as if we'll be getting any judge feedback on the solos.) Kherington & Mark: Drawing a country two-step, both seem overwhelmed during rehearsal by the number of steps thrown at them by dance champions Ronnie DeBenedetta and Brandi Tobias. An underwhelmed Lil' C thought it was a "fun routine," Mary basically said the dance was too tough for the dancers and Nigel thought they were both "out of sorts." Solo: Gev gets his breakdance on to Lupe Fiasco. Foot-holding and one-armed handstands follow. Comfort & Twitch: The first task for the phoenix-like Comfort is a Hunter Johnson-designed smooth waltz. Lil' C wasn't blown away, calling it "respectable," while Mary apologized before saying "it lacked power" and was "choppy." Nigel didn't think the performance was strong enough for the Top 10. Solo: Courtney is out on stage next, jumping and spinning around on the floor to "I Want You To Need Me" by Celine Dion. Katee & Will: The pair draws a Broadway number choreographed by Tyce Diorio which has the pair dancing around and in a prop boat. "Explosive" was how Lil' C found it, adding that they (sigh) "rocked his boat." After breaking my television with a giddy scream, Mary said she loved them both. Nigel said "it was terrific" and called them the
