Welcome back to Simple Man Entertainment. We're here to update you on one of our favorite shows - So You Think You Can Dance. Season 6 is shaping up to be incredible, and last night the top 20 competed against each other for the first time.

As Tim mentioned, Billy Bell had to leave the show, which is a tragedy. He was replaced by Brandon Dumlao, one of the guys that had been cut right before the top 20.

It was an amazing show full of some of the best talent I've ever seen, so here's a quick recap of what happened.

First up was Channing and Phillip dancing the Jive. They danced to "Rockin' Robin" by the Jackson 5. I agreed with the judges that it was "not bad." Not my favorite piece of the night, but they showed off their talent.

Next was Ashleigh and Jacob doing a Tyce Diorio Broadway routine. They dance to "Hit Me With a Hot Note" by Sophisticated Ladies. Love it! It was great. I'm loving Ashleigh more and more, and Jacob is an incredible dancer.

Then Ariana and Peter took the stage. Both were out of their element with a Napoleon and Tabitha Hip Hop Routine. They danced to "Black and Gold" by Sam Sparro. Like the judges, I found this "disappointing." It could have been so much better!

Russell, the show's crumper, and Noelle were supposed to be up next. Due to an injury Noelle is sitting out this week. If she is not able to perform next week, she'll have to leave the show. The dance was a Foxtrot choreographed by Tony and Melanie, and Melanie danced in the place of Noelle. It was a tough situation, but I thought Russell pulled it off well.

Next up, Bianca and Victor. They danced a Contemporary piece by Travis Wall. The danced to "Wasted Time" by Me'Shel Ndegeocello. It was beautiful and for a tapper, I thought Bianca held her own well!

Karen and Kevin were hitting the floor next with a Cha Cha choreographed by Tony and Melanie. They danced to "Push It" the Glee Cast Version. I was impressed. They looked good and Karen who was dancing in her own style definitely shined.

Ryan, hunky ballroom dancer that most girls are drooling over, and Ellenore took the stage next. They were dancing a Contemporary Jazz piece by Sonya Tayeh. They danced to "Arcadia" by Apparat. It was a great piece - very earthy and they performed incredibly.

Next up was Pauline and Brandon. Brandon only had a day and a half to get up to speed on this Smooth Waltz, danced to "You Light Up My Life" by Whitney Houston. They did well, but you could see the lack of technique in Brandon especially. I definitely figured he was going to get cut.

One of my favorites, Legacy, was up next with Kathryn. They were dancing a Dave Scott Hip Hop to "On and On" by Missy Elliott. They hit so hard in this piece. I was thrilled with Legacy and surprised at how well Kathryn did. One of my favorites for the night!

Last up, Nathan and Mollee took the stage. They were dancing a Dorianna Sanchez Disco routine, which are known for being hard and fast. They danced to "Turn the Beat Around" by Gloria Estafan. It was incredible. It was hard, it was fast, and they nailed it. I just loved this routine and all the energy and excitement the two dancers brought to it.

For this week only, since they already did a show last night, they were giving the results on the same night, decided by the judges. Relax and take a breath though. Next week it's back to voting and then the judges deciding out of the bottom three couples.

In danger for the night were Ariana, Russell, Pauline, and Brandon. They were all asked to dance for their lives. I knew immediately who would get cut, and I was right. The judges cut Ariana and Brandon at the end of the night. A sigh of relief…Crumper Russell would stay on!!!

This season is incredible and I can't wait to see what happens next week. Stay tuned and we'll be keeping you updated here at Simple Man Entertainment. Be sure to catch the shows if you can on FOX!
