So You Think You Can Dance Top 18 Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Judge Nigel Lythgoe wanted to save Bianca, but it didn't go his way: "I didn't want to lose two tappers tonight, but we decided it was Phillip [going home for the guys] early on. I think we were unanimous on that tonight, and then we had to decide on the girl. Neither one of [the bottom two girls] impressed us tonight in their duets. For me, Noelle was always a really good dancer, but Bianca has grown, so my money goes on the one that's grown and that isn't just another contemporary dancer...but I was outvoted."

And what made the difference for fellow judges Adam Shankman and Mary Murphy? Adam told us, "I think Noelle's solo changed it, I think in our heads she was sort of on her way out and the solo changed it. I turned to them and said 'How could we possibly send her home after what we just saw?' I don't think it's unfair to say that we were stunned."

Mary tells us, "Going in, with Noelle, I was thinking of taking her off the show, but after her solo I just thought to myself, There's no way, there's no way. She went up and down on both knees [even though she was recently injured], and I was like, Holy smokes. I think that was a real message to us: 'Don't even remotely think of taking me out. If you think I'm not gonna be able to handle it, I can handle it.' It was very impressive to me."

And what made the difference for the boys? Mary broke it down for us saying, "I do believe Victor's solo was a lot stronger and that helped. I did not feel like Phillip had a particularly good night dancing the samba. It was very weak technically. The samba rolls were definitely not good at all. He's gonna need to have a much broader back, the bends need to be much bigger, with actual rolls happening. Technically, he didn't have it together, and I didn't believe the chemistry between the two of them. He had a very difficult time doing the lift, and his partner [Channing Cooke] could feel it. She was very nervous tonight, because she didn't know whether he was gonna come through or not, and so for me, he let his partner down."
