Tiffany and Brandon danced a Doriana Sanchez disco number to “You Make Me Feel (Disco Fries Remix)” by Cobra Starship ft. Sabi. Disco dances usually aren’t memorable.

Benjamin said Chehon was charismatic.
George teamed up with All-star Allison of season 2, dancing a Tyce Diorio jazz routine to “Bahamut” by Hazmat Modine. Mary said it was fun to watch them dance and said George has great technique. Nigel hated it and called it a dissenter!

TIME FOR ELIMINATIONS!!
BOTTOM 4 DANCERS
Bottom two guys: Chehon and George
AUDREY AND GEORGE ARE ELIMINATED TONIGHT ON SYTYCD!
The girls: The judges and choreographers were not unanimous, but saved Witney, eliminating Audrey.
I absolutely loved the Gene Kelly tribute, I thought this classic concept was well done. Tonight’s episode was different with the couple switch up, it almost threw me off guard. I’m glad that my favorite contestants aren’t in the bottom this round. I think my favorite performance was Chehon and Lauren’s Hip Hop number, to “Pretty Wings.” I have enjoyed watching this season because it has given my Dish coworkers and I a lot to talk about. I like to watch on my Hopper because it automatically records this show with the Prime Time Anytime feature. This feature is really convenient because it records all prime time programming on major networks. I love not having to set up timers.
I am absolutely 100% in love with GEORGE AND ALLISON!
