"So You Think You Can Dance" Top 12!

Tonight's episode of "So You Think You Can Dance" on FOX network will bring the 12 remaining finalist together to compete. Six male dancers and six female dancers will be paired up, and each couple will compete against the other five couples. If they make it to next week, they will be picking their partner randomly from a hat.

America determines which couples will fall in the bottom three. Then tomorrow night the shows judges will determine which female dancer and which male dancer will go home after watching the bottom 3 couples dance for their lives. They each perform short solos that only last for about 30 seconds. When we get to the top 10 next week, the judges are taken out of the decision making process completely. Only America's votes will determine who moves on each week.

Each couple performs two numbers tonight, so let's get going:

18-year old, Noelle (contemporary) and 19-year old, Russell (krumper) will be dancing a Samba choreographed by Melanie Lepatin and Tony Meredith. I'm really surprised at how well these two dancers did not do. I thought they would really nail it, but they truly struggled. The Samba is suppose to be sensual not cutesy. They both struggled with flexibility in their backs. My Scores: Noelle - 8 Russell - 8 Their second dance of the night is a contemporary routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio. This was a beautifully quiet routine for me. Both dancers were right on, in the moment. This was their best routine this season, especially Noelle. My Scores: Noelle-10 Russell-10

27-year-old Ashleigh (ballroom) and 18-year-old, Jakob (contemporary) will be dancing a lyrical jazz choreographed by Sonya. Both dancers did very good, but the choreographer clearly gave Jakob the hardest moves. At times in the routine, he looked like he was dancing circles around her. That being said, Ashleigh gets stronger every week. I really enjoy watching her and she pulled her weight again. My Scores: Ashleigh - 10 Jakob -10 The second dance of the night is a Chachacha choreographed by Jean Marc Genereaux and France Messeau. These two did it again. They were hot. This was Ashleigh's style of dance so she should have been hot and she was. Jakob however danced just as well. I am more and more amazed by this couple each week. My Scores: Ashleigh -10 Jakob-9

27-year-old, Karen (ballroom), and 20-year-old Victor (contemporary) will be dancing a Tango choreographed by Melanie Lepatin and Tony Meredith. I didn't care for the music very much, but the dancers did a superb job. They related to each other very well especially considering that this was their first week dancing together. High difficulty level for these two dancers. My Scores Karen - 10 Victor - 9 The second dance of the night is a hip hop routine choreographed by Laurieanne Gibson. They're having problems dancing in unison. This is a slow hip hop routine and that helps with intensity, but it doesn't help with the hard hitting hip hop dance style. The dancers did a pretty good job with it, but the choreographer really let them down this time. My scores Karen -8 Victor -8

19-year old Ellenore (Jazz) and 28-year-old Ryan (Ballroom) will be performing a Lindy Hop for their first number tonight with new choreographer Carla Heiney. This is a high energy routine and it contained a lot of hard lifts and throws that are very unique to this style of dance. They struggled with one of the lifts slightly, but covered it well. Both dancers did a good job of bringing us to the party and took us back to the days when they use to burn a rug. My Scores: Ellenore - 9 Ryan - 9 Their second dance of the night is a Broadway routine choreographed by Spencer Liff. This is about the temptation of fame. This is an interesting story line and performed beautifully by this strong couple. A combination of technique and drama performed dramatically. My Scores: Ellenore - 10 Ryan - 10

18-year-old Katherine (contemporary) and 18-year-old Legacy (Hip Hop) will be dancing a jazz routine choreographed by Sonya. This was a very unique routine. The choreography and the music was very different. Katherine and Legacy did a very good job. The related to each other well. The technique was very good and the level of difficulty was extremely high. My Score: Katherine - 10 Legacy -10 Their second dance of the night is a Waltz choreographed by Jean- Marc Genereaux and France Mosseau. This is a story about a guardian angel guiding a young man. Even though Legacy is struggling with some of the technique, he dances from the heart and Katherine can't dance a bad step if she tried. Overall this was one of the stronger routines of the night. The music helped to build the drama of the routine and then it finished softly. My Score Katherine -10 Legacy - 9

18-year-old, Mollee (Jazz) and 18-year-old, Nathan (Contemporary) will be dancing hip hop choreographed by Jamal Simms. It's all about phones and making a connection. These two dancers definitely have a connection and seem to really enjoy doing this dance. Molly doesn't hit her movement hard enough for hip hop, but Nathan is doing a good job in that respect. My Score: Mollee - 8 Nathan - 9 Their second dance of the night is a Can-Can routine choreographed by Tyce Diorio. This is a first for SYTYCD because a Can-Can had never been danced before on the show. Nathan had an incredible spin section that was done unbelievably well. His control was amazing. They both had a lot of high kicks and did them well. The routine was cute and unique, but not my favorite. They did a respectable job on this routine. My Score: Mollee 9 Nathan - 9
