So You Think You Can Dance Top 16 Eliminations [Video]

On Tuesday night, America saw sixteen dancers take to the dance floor to win the votes of those watching. Up til this point, the judges have been the ones making the cuts in this year's competition, but now America has the choice in their hands. The judges have some comments about who might go home, but they keep their silence. We see the couples come out one by one. The first couple out are the first two in the bottom three couples - Ryan & Ellenore. The next couple is one of those bubble couples that could go either, Channing & Victor. Kathryn & Legacy are also up on stage with them. Did either couple make it into the bottom three? No! Both are safe for another week.

After a break, we see our next couple up, Ashleigh and Jakob, and they are quickly told they are safe. The next two couples up are Peter & Pauline and Russell and Noelle. Something tells me we will see one of these in the bottom three, and I am right. Peter & Pauline need to dance for their lives. With one more couple to be chosen for the bottom three, we next see Karen & Kevin and Mollee & Nathan. Mollee & Nathan were a mess last night, but Karen & Kevin were amazing. However, Karen & Kevin are the couple going into the bottom three. This was not a good choice. Nathan was picked to stay and voted for because of his fanbase.

The bottom three couples each come up one at a time to do their solos. This is their time to try and shine. They need to impress the judges now. Still shocked to see Karen in the bottom six. What was America thinking? After they all perform, the judges need to decide who goes home based on their performances tonight? Who ends up going home? It wasn't Kevin and Karen. That would be criminal. The judges, especially Nigel, have some harsh words about the solos. They are not living up to the talent from last season. First up are the girls, and we see Pauline sent home this week. The boys are up next, and we lose our last tap dancer with Peter being sent home. Next week, the final fourteen perform. Check out tonight's group performance below, and a list of music used in tonight's performances.
