"Last week on So You Think You Can Dance, 152 of the finest dancers in America came to Las Vegas to compete for a spot in our top 20." "Come on, now, bring it!" "So far they've battled through three brutal rounds." "Hit that!" "Come on!" "Twist that body, cha cha." "This is tough." "And some of the early favorites have failed to make the grade." "I'm sorry, we're gonna let you go." "Ev..." "I got the axe." "But some new stars have started to shine." "You're amazing." "You're brilliant." "That was hot, dude!" "Now less than half remain." "And we're about to turn up the heat." "Because only 20 dancers can make it to our stage in Hollywood." "Vegas week continues right now." "Season six is gonna blow season five out of the water." "It's early evening on day two of Vegas week." "Only 77 dancers have survived a brutal first three rounds." "Okay, so why don't we spread out." "I waste no time." "But things are about to reach a whole new level of intensity as Loretta Gibson takes them all through a Jazz routine." "5, 6, and 8!" "You are so messy." "Eyes up." "Why are you looking on the ground?" "She is kind of scary." "Teacher, like in Russia." "I'm scared of her." "You talking?" "She's coming." "No way." "Quiet!" "Yes?" "Um, boys turn off on this side or the other side?" "I know you can't believe you got here, but there's somebody waiting in the wings." "Act like that!" "The audacity of you to ask me such a ridiculous question." "Just get the step." "The rest will come." "Now dance!" "Back 5, 6." "Staying quiet and trying to get the steps down were Karen and Matthew Hauer." "We first met this Married couple in Boston..." "You guys can dance." "You look like movie stars." "I mean, come on!" "All right." "Come and get a ticket!" "Yeah!" "Here they became the first husband and wife team to make it all the way to Vegas." "As rehearsals end," "Karen is in the first group to perform for the judges." "I'm in pain." "My brain's not working right now." "I can't think." "I'm about to start crying 'cause I want this so bad." "Cue music." "Karen and Calvin..." "Go and sit down, please." "Karen..." "So Karen just scraped through." "And as her husband takes the stage, she's still in shock." "I worked it." "That's all I did." "I had to work it." "Even if I forgot it, I kept going, and I'm in." "But will Matthew be joining her?" "Matthew, as a Latin dancer," "I just wanted so much more fire from you." "Um, I'm sorry, we're gonna let you go." "Thank you very much for trying so hard." "Yeah." "Well, that's it." "I mean, I did the best I could." "I think things happen for a reason." " Did you make it?" " No." "What?" "It's okay, Mami." "I... it's okay." "I'm sorry." "You're moving forward." "Things happen for a reason." "I'm proud of you." "Yeah, keep it up, okay?" "Yeah." "All right, guys." "So our very first married couple has been split up." "And Karen will have to continue on her own." "Meanwhile, back on stage, the Jazz round is not going well." "Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop." "What's this?" "You're like a wet rag." "Carlos, you're caressing a woman's face there." "You're not feeling a melon." "Yvette, I have no idea what you were doing." "Jeez, that was terrible." "Krissia, what... what..." "Hello, is there anybody in there?" "The first part... can you hear that backbeat?" "Mm-tsh." "Mm-tsh." "Mm-tsh." "You'd be giving accents on it." "Mm-tsh!" "The hand's out there." "Get up." "Nigel's really mad." "Do it again and do it better." "By 7:00 p.m. six more dancers had been cut... including Yvette Lukosiute... and same-sex dancer willem devries." "Whether you think you dance or you want to think you can dance, come and try to dance." "Despite the cuts," "Mollee Gray and her partner Billy Bell were staying upbeat." "We first met Molly in L.A." "Her family had left everything behind in Utah and moved to Hollywood to help Mollee's career." "We literally packed our bags, put 'em in the trunk, got in our car, and just drove to california with no furniture." "We just had our suitcase and our air mattresses." "That's all." "And food." "And from her first audition, it looked like the sacrifice might be worth it." "Your energy is completely making me happy right now." "And making it to Vegas was a dream come true in more ways than one." "I'm so excited to have a bed!" "Also in Mollee's group is Russell Ferguson, the first Krumper in the history of the show to make it to Vegas." "And cue music." "This couple on the far left... this couple on the far left are like children, but they did so good." "Whoa, there." "Thank you." "Mollee, you're dancing like a little girl at the moment." "You've grown up now and you're beyond that." "You've got to start dancing like a woman now, okay?" "And that's why we have 18-year-olds and not 16 because I want women here." "Okay." "Russell, step forward, please." "What other training have you had?" "Just..." "I just dance." "I mean, I get it... whatever comes at me, I just do what I can." "So you've had no formal training of any kind?" "No." "Doesn't seem possible." "And you're a Krumper?" "Yes." "You're doing so well." "Keep up the good work, all right?" "Step back." "What are you standing there for?" "Well done." "Through this." "So Russell and Mollee are through to the next round." "But as Mollee leaves the stage, it's clear that here's a problem." "I hurt my foot, and it sucks." "But it doesn't hurt, so..." "I mean, I'm gonna go to the next round and just dance full-out." "Like I should, right?" "Yeah." "I was really trying to go for it really fierce, and I must have stepped on my foot or something." "And then it kind of like started, like, swelling up, and it kind of hurt, so..." "I don't want them to know, though." "I don't want the judges to know." "I didn't want anyone to know." "But as the pain worsens..." "You're gonna sit up here for a while with ice on it, okay?" "Them's the rules." "I don't have to stop dancing, so you know, do I?" "Well, let's make sure you can walk first." "It's going to be hard for Mollee to keep her injury secret." "Coming up..." "As Mollee heads off to the hospital, is she out of the competition?" "I think it's time everybody give her some space." "And day two isn't over, as the dancers are forced to work right through the night." "Man, we have got to, like, knock it out." "I'm freaking out right now." "Vegas week intensifies..." "It was dreadful." "Be amazing every time." "And if you're not, you gotta go." "And the dancers reach their breaking point." "Welcome back to So You Think You Can Dance." "It's 9:00 p.m. here in Vegas, and after an exhausting day, the contestants are called to the stage." "We are now down to just 69 dancers, so what we're gonna do is we're gonna break you all up into groups." "And then you have to choreograph a routine that you're going to show to the judges first thing tomorrow morning." "Is everybody cool?" "Yes." "Okay, leave the stage for me." "Thank you, and well done for getting this far." "Congratulations." "Very good." "So after a long and harrowing day, nobody's getting any rest." "Instead, it's straight on with rehearsals." "Connect the arms." "Don't... you're too close." "Connect the arms here." "And we can do a kick line." "Exactly." "Almost immediately the frayed nerves start to show." "We've gotta, like, knock this out." "And as the evening goes on, the tension builds." "I'm freaking out right now." "After an exhausting night, the groups file back into the theater and the judges take their seats." "It's time for the performances to start." "First on stage was Russell Ferguson's group." "He's been teamed with four contemporary dancers..." "Paula Van Offen, Pauline Mata," "Jacob Carr, and Jackie Ford." "Last night, the groups picked their music randomly." "It was Broadway for Russell's group, so they got straight to work choreographing a routine." "After just an hour, they were feeling confident." "So it's 11:00, and we're done." "We're done." "We finished." "It's so exciting." "Cue music." "But as the first group to go to bed last night, are they really prepared?" "Yes!" "Yeah!" "Bravo.That was wonderful." "Wonderful." "Um, I thought it was very" "Good." "It was inventive." "It was creative." "And there were some really good thoughts behind it." "So I'm happy." "All right, I don't think we've got anything negative to say." "At all." "At all." "Congratulations." "Nothing but love." "Nothing but love." "So Russell and his group have made it through another round." "As the morning went on, group after group took the stage." "That was really good." "Congratulations, you guys." "It was dreadful and uncomfortable to watch." "Lauren and CJ, we're not gonna be asking you to stay." "I think I was scared of being cheesy, and that was a really big mistake on my part." "I love the power." "I thought you guys did a great job..." "Congratulations." "Whoo!" "Thank you." "Be amazing every time." "And if you're not, you gotta go." "Kimara and Surika, this is the end of the journey for you." "I think it was totally fair." "I can't say..." "It's awful." "I would never pay to see myself dance like that ever." "The last group of the morning had a tough night." "Yesterday, Mollee Gray injured her ankle." "While she was at the hospital, her group picked their music." "They had no idea whether Mollee was coming back or not." "It's a challenge because if we decided to choreograph it for four, and then she shows up, that means we have to start over again." "But overall, we're gonna make it work." "So they get started." "Go for it." "Come up here." "Okay, so we go..." "And two hours into rehearsals, Mollee is back." "Hi, guys." "What's the deal?" "What happened?" "Well, they just told me I have a really bad sprain." "But, like, don't, like, cope to it." "Don't think, like, I can't do stuff 'cause you know I'll go full-out anyway." "So the group got to work and brought her up to speed on the routine." "Okay, so what is it?" "So this is your chair." "Oh, well, hey." "It's like a wheelchair." "And you're just, like, injured." "Yeah." "But it soon became clear that Mollee wasn't happy." "Yeah, I need to get out of my chair 'cause I don't want to be crippled and judges are, like, "you didn't do anything!"" "My group is, like, "babying me."" "Saying, you know, like, um, well, like, "your ankle, your ankle."" "Hon, be careful." "I am." "I don't want to hold her back." "But at the same time," "I don't want to injure her and eliminate her from the competition." "We have to restart the whole thing and it's, like, midnight." "Girl." "Don't push." "We're a mess, you guys." "Stop." "Oh, my gosh!" "After rehearsing right through the night, the group takes the stage hoping Mollee's ankle will hold up." "Cue music." "Any feelings?" "You know, as a whole package," "I just thought it was stupid." "I did." "It's just not..." "I just thought it was dumb." "I felt, guys, as though you hid behind your characters rather than danced." "Like the concept of it." "I like how you've improvised with the problem with Mollee's ankle." "However, you've also got to show us your dancing." "And clever, but you cheated it." "Yes for me." "Yes, for me." "Yes." "Thank you very much." "Pass this round." "With mixed reviews," "Mollee has made it through and the group round is over." "Coming up, Vegas Week takes its toll..." "That was hard." "And some dancers snap." "Oh!" "But first, the round that everyone fears most." "I'm so scared." "It's midday on day three." "And after what's already been a difficult morning, it's time for the round that everyone dreads the most." "I'm so scared." "Contemporary with Mia Michaels." "You know me." "I'm a cutter and I will cut you." "Do not give me empty steps." "'Cause that is when my horns will come out." "If I ask you to do something, you got to do it." "Mia is known for her intensity and brutal honesty." "It's always an emotional round." "I'm so scared for the next round." "Mia time." "She's gonna be... tough." "Pray for me, America." "And add more." "Are you guys scared?" "Yes." "Don't be scared." " Whah." " We are just open... and powerful... and supportive of everyone on this floor." "It looks like this season," "Mia is taking a different approach." "Thank your spirit." "Thank your soul." "All right, let's do this, yeah?" "Pop." "Boom." "Sharp." "Twist it." " I love this so much." " After 90 minutes of learning and rehearsing, along with quite a bit of hugging, the dancers clear the stage and the judges take their seats." "In our first group was hip-hop dancer" "Kevin Hunte or K-Bez." "He made it all the way to the last day of Vegas week in season three." "He came back to us this season in Boston with a new focus." "I'm gonna try to go to Vegas and try and go all the way, top 20." "And cue music." "Watch him doing something else, this hip-hop boy." "Look at his feet when he's dancing." "He's brilliant!" "He's amazing." "I love it." "I love that." "He's gorgeous." "What?" "I..." "I love the two in the middle." "What?" " What is he..." " I cannot get over his technique." "I cannot get over his technique." "Yeah, the right needs to go and the left." "I..." "I would keep the two in the center." "Yeah." " They are the ones." " Yeah." "Kevin, you're amazing 'cause you take the reins and you go." "And you don't wait for anybody to tell you anything." "That's brilliant." "Brilliant job." "Go and sit down." "Words can't express how that makes me feel." "I just hope that I can keep up the good work and show them..." "Prove to them that I am worthy enough to be in the top 20." "To show America that a hip-hopper can do it every style." "As the round continues, the hip-hop dancers match the contemporary dancers step for step." "You absolutely were killing that just now." "You handled yourself very well." "Congratulations, guys, you're all staying." "You'll be staying." "Congratulations, you're staying with us." "By 3:00 p.m., only one hip-hop dancer was left." "And Legacy only survived yesterday by dancing for his life." "You're only standing here now because your B-boying was great." "But you have got to come up to a certain standard in the other dance forms that can be presented to you." "Legacy didn't look comfortable learning the steps, but he was determined to give it his all." "It... it's a struggle." "Yeah." "My technique is not... what they have." "But my heart is..." "By the time rehearsals were done, he was overwhelmed." "Oh." "Cue music." "Can he put it together on the stage?" " Hi." " Hi." "I." "How you doing?" "How you doing?" "Good." "What are you feeling right now?" "It changed something inside of me." "It's your energy." "You're just... your movement means something." "And you just made me a better dancer," "I think, 'cause now I want to learn that style even more so..." "Well, we all think that it..." "You were a better dancer today." "And you exposed yourself in a beautiful way." "We see you." "We got you." "And you're perfectly imperfect." "And we love you." "And we want you to stay with us." "Okay?" "Legacy has survived." "My mind is expanded." "I've..." "I have let go." "I've come out of the shell that I'm always in... the comfort zone." "I had no idea the other world that there is of dancing." "For 11 other dancers, contemporary was the end of the road." "But it was the ones who made it through that seemed the most emotional." "That was so hard." "I can't believe I made it." "This is just changing my life as a person and as a human being and a dancer." "Everything." "It's so much more than just dance being here." "I totally through it." "It was... it was Mia Michaels' piece." "And it was hard." "And I still made it, man." "Coming up, it's the final round of choreography." "Boom." "Ah." "What do you got?" "You got this?" "More injuries." "Medic!" "More cuts." "You didn't pick up enough votes." "I'm afraid we're gonna lose you." "And more at stake." "You have to say "I'm a star." "You're not getting rid of me."" "As Vegas Week heats up." "If you wouldn't mind just buttoning one of those buttons up." "Welcome back to So You Think You Can Dance." "It's the start of another tough day in Vegas." "More than 100 dancers have already been sent home..." "As the judges get closer and closer to finding your top 20." "It's the final round of choreography." "The girls and the guys have been split into two groups and they're now back to learn a Broadway routine from Tyce Diorio." "Okay, good." "Let's start with the women." "Stand up." "It's gonna be the stamina, the physicality of it." "So you go 1, 2, 3." "When you're coupling the performance with technique... 1, 2, 3." "With energy..." "Boom." "And strength... and up." "That's, like, a full bag of tricks you need to bring to this party." "2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1." "Get ready for Broadway." "Good, good, good." "How we doing?" "Good." "After an hour of learning the steps, the girls are put into groups of three, for one final rehearsal before performing for the judges." "In the first group, is somebody who came very close to making last season's top 20," "Paulene Mata." "I auditioned in season five in L.A., and made it all the way through, and got cut right there when they said the top 20." "I'm sorry to say your journey's gonna end today." "But you have to know that you are ever so close." "I'm back again." "Gonna strive harder, hit harder, and see if they like me better this time." "So as she takes the stage for her final rehearsal," "Paulene is not holding back." "Medic!" "Medic!" "Medic on stage!" "Lay her down." "Lay her down." "Lay her down." "Lay her down." "Lay her down." "Lay her down." "Try not to play with it." "Medic!" "You okay?" "What's the matter?" "My ankle's broken." "In the Broadway we were rehearsing," "I did the jump at the end and just landed wrong." "My ankle bone's the size of, what, like, like, a tennis ball." "I feel okay." "Like, I can't feel it." "But the only thing that I feel right nows..." "Looks like Paulene's Vegas week could be over." "All she can do is watch as the other girls take the stage and the Broadway round gets underway..." "And cue music." "And the judges get closer to their top 10 girls." "Noelle, fabulous." "We all think you're terrific." "You're a little star." "We're keeping all three of you." "Lexi, you didn't pick up enough votes to continue in the competition." "Bianca, terrific." "Go and sit down." "Yeah!" "I didn't get cut!" "Dina, I'm afraid we're gonna lose you." "Bye, guys." "In the final group and feeling confident is ballroom dancer Ashley Di Lello." "Save the best for last." "We hope." "Come on." "Work it." "When we first met Ashley in our Salt Lake city auditions, it was her husband Ryan who really caught the judges' eye." "Ashley, it's a little bit fake." "And it's funny because you guys are a couple, right?" "That the chemistry wasn't real." "Ryan, you're everything." "I..." "I think you're fabulous." "Thank you." "And throughout Vegas week," "Ashley has remained in his shadow." "The bits that you got right, you looked good doing." "You just didn't get a lot right." "Ryan, you did a great job." "We're just happy to be on this journey together." "Yeah." "Love you." "Love you too." "Without Ryan by her side, can she make it through the last round of choreography?" "And cue music." "Ooh, very good." "I like Eleanor." "I'm just shocked at Ashley." "I think you all need to turn around on this ballroom girl." "I thought she was really good." "I agree." "I'd vote for her." "Ashley." "We've put you through this week because of, you know, coming from ballroom and sort of investing in you, hoping that you'd come through for us." "I can honestly say that we believe, you've probably grown the most out of everybody this week, because that routine was tremendous." "You got every one of our votes." "We think your dancing's improved that much." "Congratulations." "True, buddy." "Thank you very much." "Good." "So proud of her." "I mean, they would be crazy to not take her." "She is just..." "And him." "It's overwhelming sometimes because you're so excited for you, but almost even more for your spouse, you know, 'cause you want to see them succeed." "And I'm just a baby right now." "I'm so proud of you." "Coming up..." "As the boys take on Broadway, will Ryan be joining his wife in the next round?" "Plus, as the judges make their final decisions, the pressure becomes unbearable." "Just the way you are now is not helping your future." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I have to tell you that." "Who will make it into this season's top 20?" "Welcome back to So You Think You Can Dance." "17 girls have made it through the final round of choreography." "And to celebrate, some of them head to the pool." "We're gonna go swimming!" "Meanwhile, Pauline is back from the hospital." "It's just a sprain." "They told me to stay off of it for two days, so I don't know what the judges are gonna say to me or what's gonna happen." "As she waits to talk to the judges, the remaining guys still have it all to do, as they take on Tyce's Broadway choreography." "In the first group to perform is Ryan Delilo." "His wife Ashley has already made it through." "I have tons of motivation to make it through." "I think probably more motivation even now to make it through, because she's paved the road for me." "I've got to continue on that, and I have to keep up with her." "And cue music." "I need to go to the gym right now." "You are such a ham!" "Oh, my gosh." "Ryan, I just want you to remember you're a married man." "And whenever these judges have the smile on their face..." "It just means that they are in love with your dancing." "That's why I'm here." "And not that body." "So if you wouldn't mind just buttoning one of those buttons up." "He's gonna button the last one." "Is that okay, baby?" "Okay." "Votes, five... all right, six." "You get mine too." "Thank you so much." "So whether it's down to his body or his dancing," "Ryan has made it through." "You're just so great." "Did I turn you on?" "Yeah, me and every other lady here." "I can't help it." "Mine, mine." "I'm just yours." "And as the round went on, he wasn't the only guy to shine." "Nathan looks great." "No?" "He's brilliant." "Tyrone." "Look at him, look at him, look at him." "Yes." "He's so fabulous." "He's my favorite." "That's what I'm talking about, baby." "The judges seem thrilled." "But that's only adding to the pressure for the dancers who haven't performed yet." "It's really hard, but I'm gonna get through it." "I'm gonna push." "This is a bitch." "This is killing me." "I'm not this damn physical." "But Dominic Pearson was keeping his cool." "In season 4, he made it right to the very end of Vegas week, only to be taken out of the competition by an injury." "I got taken off in an ambulance, and there was this big, dramatic scene." "And it was kind of embarrassing." "So I was like, I'm gonna come back and do better." "Cause it hurts so bad." "Okay." "Okay." "This year, he's in good spirits." "I can't explain it." "I never can explain anything, but it's just so much fun." "See." "I told you." "And determined to go all the way." "I'm excited cause it's Broadway, and that's something I like to shine through, cause I have a lot of personality." "And I think I'm meant to be in the top 20, so it's gonna happen today." "So I'm just gonna keep doing what I've been doing all week." "And I know what's gonna happen, so that's it." "Cue music." "Yes." "No." "He's good." "It's not honest." "I know, but he could do this, don't you think?" "After adding his own flair to the routine," "Dominic looks confident." "Dominic, only two votes from us." "We're trying to look at the dancing against other people that are here dancing." "When should you be good... it's not the end of the world, Dominic." "It's a big television show, but it is not the end of the world." "Dominic, what I think is part of your problem is" "I think you care too much about the results." "And I think, while you're dancing," "I'm seeing you try to get to the end, instead of performing in the moment." "Dominic, just the way you are now is not helping your future." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I have to tell you that." "No, listen." "I don't want someone on television that's gonna break down like this." "You could be cut first week." "What are you gonna do, stand there like that?" "I'm sorry." "I can't control my emotions." "You've got to harden up, Dominic." "I'm sorry, but you've got to strengthen yourself up because you can not survive in this world of dancers if you can't strengthen yourself up." "To walk away from this week knowing that I'd worked with these choreographers, that I'd improved, I would be proud of that." "There were thousands of dancers that didn't." "Right." "Dominic, thank you very much for your work." "I got cut." "That's it." "They've come agonizingly close, but for four more guys, it's the end of the road." "Peace out, America." "I'll be back, and I'm gonna work hard." "And I'm gonna make it for all of us cuts." "So thanks, thanks." "Love you guys." "Coming up... remaining dancers have one last chance to impress before the judges pick this year's 20." "We're gonna tell you whether you're in or whether you're out." "I feel like I'm gonna throw up." "Welcome back to So You Think You Can Dance, where Vegas week is coming to an end." "Only 38 dancers are left." "And for one of them, it looks like the competition may be over." "In the Broadway, we were rehearsing." "I did the jump at the end and just landed wrong." "My ankle bone was the size of, like, a tennis ball." "So they took me out, and the doctors checked on me." "They said it's a sprain." "My status in the competition right now," "I don't know where I'm gonna be." "The judges, I don't know what they're thinking, what they're gonna have me do, or, I mean," "I can't dance for two days." "But we'll see." "As Pauline waits to find out her fate, the rest of the dancers take the stage to perform one final solo." "They won't be critiqued." "But it's their last chance to make a good impression before the judges pick this year's top 20." "First on stage is Billy Bell." "Cue music." "For the first time this week, it's one of the judges who gets emotion." "My god." "Wow." "Who are you?" "Where did you come from, honey?" "So Billy had started things off in spectacular fashion." "And as the afternoon went on, dancer after dancer went all out to match him." "Cue music." "Oh, Miss." "This is ridiculous." "The dancing is over." "Thank you all for your hard work." "I'm sorry that we have to bring it down to 20." "Now all anyone can do is wait." "Next week, the judges make their final decisions." "Showing a glimmer of star quality in Vegas?" "It's not really enough." "Who's out?" "I'm heartbroken." "And it really upsets me to lose you." "And who is in?" "You're in the top fricking 20, dude." "It's our toughest set of cuts ever." " Yes!" " What?"
