I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously.

Oh, I get it -- last week's votes were for who is going to the finale, which is why she said it 100 times.

Because books.

So then there will be another week, and the winners will be announced, and everyone will dance?

I want Jasmine and Aaron to be a couple. No idea if that's even a possibility, but they just look so GOOD together.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Ah, I see. Hayley and Paul didn’t get their original partners back because they are gone. Well, OK. That’s better.

Jasmine and Aaron/Jazz/Mirror Mirror/Lord Kraven – Shawn Cheesman. I guess no SYTYCD Canada left a big hole in his schedule because he has choreographed a lot this year. That was interesting work at the beginning against the mirror there. They really just do dance wonderfully together. They are so evenly matched. Great chemistry. They just fit. I’m not a real fan of the choreo. That leg extension where he bent her over was ridiculous and kind of not even a possible position for the human body to get into. The last throw off the mirror wall lacked power but I think that was due to Aaron’s shoulder injury. JTF confessing his crush on Aaron was love. Get in line, boyfriend. Get in line.

Girls Top 2

Amy

Other Jasmine

That seems right. You could’ve guessed this one from about week two. I think Other Jasmine is going to take it if it’s based on this week’s performances.

Boys Top 2

Aaron (sporting some serious guyliner, oh my!)

Fik Shun

That seems wrong. Paul is a better all around dancer and I’d rather have seen him in the finale but it was not unexpected. America does love a journey. And anyway, Paul already won one SYTYCD. I guess he can’t be greedy. I cannot see how Aaron doesn’t take it all. That’s a man against a boy.

THIS! And I love Fik Shun, he's adorable and has been game to try anything and mostly held his own when choreographers expect him to step up in most of the contemperary/jazz stuff.

But Paul is so good...I weep!

Strange, I can't vote. The site says it's closed, so I guess that's that.

I know! I AM CONFUSED.

ET talked to Sonya Tayeh today.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

I do love Fik Shun a lot. I don't feel like I felt last year when Cyrus made the finale and I just thought he had needed to go weeks before then. I have enjoyed Fik Shun and I do think he's grown week on week. But Paul is just special. He has that star thing and he is so crazy versatile. His hip hop with Comfort blew my whole entire mind. I just think he deserved it more, and that's not to take anything away from Fik Shun.

Not that it matters much because I think Aaron is going to crush him (and probably would've crushed Paul, too). But still.

I did enjoy that both Paul and Hayley seemed totally at peace with not making the final performance show. Such graceful exits for the pair of them.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Ah, group dance. Jazz. Sean Cheesman. Ailey business. Jasmine and Aaron are ruling that center. Giving me life in that Judith Jamison way. Aaron is just a man out there. Fik Shun is doing it to it as well. I see you young man, giving me those contractions. Work! The less said about Hayley and Amy in this dance the better. Amy and her perma-smile in particular are just so wrong for this dance. Paul is keeping up better. He’s not pulling my eye in a negative way. I would’ve liked to see that routine with different dancers. I also would’ve like for it to be less of a direct rip off of Ailey. But apparently, I don’t always get what I want.

I think it was Hayley who had extreme FLAIL in this routine and I just about died laughing. Just so wrong.
