MARY MURPHY: I thank God about the format change.
I couldn't be happier.
Oh my goodness.
JENNA JOHNSON: Instead of announcing who's going home at
the very beginning of the show, they
announce it at the end.
MARIAH SPEARS: I feel like either way it's
going to push you.
If you know you're in the bottom three, to push you to
perform even harder.
So I think either way it was fine.
But definitely, I think this way pleases a lot more people.
JASMINE MASON: I'm sad because I'm going to miss everyone,
but I'm not like, how will life go on?
So I'm just going to keep moving up from here.
MARY MURPHY: These guys are really close between Alexis
and Jasmine.
It really came down to the choreographers to
be honest with you.
PAULA ABDUL: Pay tribute to Jade.
I mean, it's the most crushing experience
when you injure yourself.
MARY MURPHY: It's always sad to see two
dancers go, you know?
That's part of the game.
We have to do it, but when it's about an injury for us
dancers, it hits us even harder.
JADE ZUBERI: It is a bit of a bitter sweet type of thing,
because although I experienced my injury and I was down for
the moment, I was still happy and I reflected back that I
was able to share this experience with her and
everybody else who made it on to the top 20.
SONYA TAYEH: When anybody has an injury, it's shocking, and
disturbing, and sad because you know that they're out for
a while, and that was really sad for Malece and I and
course, Jade.
But we had to keep moving, and Malece embraced the challenge
working with Marco who's amazing.
And we had a lot of breakthrough moments and many
revelations emotionally with her.
It's so satisfying as a
choreographer to see that change.
JADE ZUBERI: I think I was the first one to stand
up when it was done.
I was that proud of her.
PAULA ABDUL: Malise really grew into being just a
sophisticated lovely woman out there on stage.
She's beautiful.
JADE ZUBERI: She really just proves who she was, and why
she deserves to be on that stage.
ERIN ANDREWS: It surprises that Jenna was
in the bottom three.
That should never happen.
She's a phenomenal dancer, and I know she says her whole
realm is ballroom, but yeah, right.
Give me a break.
She's sick everywhere.
TUCKER KNOX: Our routine first of all was to Michael Jackson.
First time in "So You Think" history.
Mari and Keone are the most amazing, influential--
JENNA JOHNSON: Inspiring.
They were a joy to work with.
So this is for Trevin Govender.
Keone and Mari have their new future ahead of them. "So You
Think" is made for them.
TUCKER KNOX: Yeah.
MARI MADRID: I feel like I'm either super blessed or you
either really got great dancers.
KEONE MADRID: We just threw the piece on them, and then
they ran with it.
MARI MADRID: That ability to adapt to a style that you're
completely not used to in a short period of time is really
incredible.
Thank goodness the judges loved it.
KEONE MADRID: Yeah.
MAKENZIE DUSTMAN: So we actually had a new
choreographer on the show.
Her name is Lindsay Nelko.
PAUL KARMIRYAN: She's amazing.
MAKENZIE DUSTMAN: She's amazing.
LINDSAY NELKO: It is my first time on the show.
Makenzie and Paul are major.
They're unbelievable on a whole other level.
PAUL KARMIRYAN: It's a really deep piece.
It's not a sad piece.
It's more of a strong piece.
I feel like the more and more closer we got to show day, we
just started to feel this connection that really helped
us perform it to the best of our ability.
JEAN-MARC GENEREUX: And for the samba, I'm super happy
with Hayley who did an amazing job, but Curtis, maybe the
fact that he was voted in the bottom three from the previous
week affected a little bit of his performance.
It was a little difficult I must say, but overall, I'm
very, very, very happy.
MARY MURPHY: Once again, Aaron and Jasmine, for me, they were
probably in the bottom of my 20 going into this whole
competition.
Here they are going into the third week, and they're still
hitting it strong.
AARON TURNER: Finding inspiration for playing those
role was, I know, tough for you.
JASMINE HARPER: Yeah.
And I just tried to do as much research as I could to get
into the character.
AARON TURNER: Our dress rehearsal wasn't
put together at all.
We were really frustrated quite often.
And it wasn't until the live show that
everything finally clicked.
MARIAH SPEARS: Blueprint is such an incredible and
phenomenal dancer.
DORIAN "BLUEPRINT" HECTOR: It was so much fun dancing with
Mariah because she has all this energy, and it's like you
can't do nothing but try to match it.
PAULA ABDUL: I'm proud of Du-Shaunt or "Fik-Shun"
because I've known him as Du-Shaunt.
DU-SHAUNT "FIK-SHUN" STEGALL: Well, when I was 16 years old,
I auditioned for "Live to Dance," which was Paula
Abdul's show.
When she said she liked it, I was done.
I was so satisfied with myself.
It was ridiculous.
The routine was not easy.
AMY YAKIMA: No.
DU-SHAUNT "FIK-SHUN" STEGALL: It was definitely something we
had to work on, and we had to give blood,
sweat, and tears to.
I feel like we can do anything now.
PAULA ABDUL: I mean, I feel like I'm on "American
Idol." I can't say.
They all were great.
ALAN BERSTEN: My name is Alan Bersten.
ELISE MILLER: I'm Elise Miller.
ALAN BERSTEN AND ELISE MILLER: And you're watching--
ALAN BERSTEN: My name is Alan Bersten.
ELISE MILLER: And I'm Elise Miller.
ALAN BERSTEN AND ELISE MILLER: And you're watching--
And you're watching "Dance On."
ALAN BERSTEN: I want to do it one more time.
One more.
ALAN BERSTEN AND ELISE MILLER: And you're
watching "Dance On."
