Cat quickly explained the process once again, saying that the three couples with the least votes will dance for their lives, performing solos in their own style. In the end, the judges will decide on one guy and one girl who will go home. Dan Karaty again joined Lythgoe and Mary Murphy on the judging panel.
To the results: Cat called out the first three couples, including Kherington & Twitch, who received a huge ovation from the crowd after their Broadway routine from Tuesday. They were safe. Chelsea & Thayne were up next for a recap of their cha cha. Before getting those results, though, Cat talked up Chelsie and Mark for a reminder of their Mia Michaels contemporary dance routine. Both couples were safe.
Four more couples came onto the stage, with Matt & Kourtni's jazz routine to Soft Cell's "Tainted Love" proving not good enough to keep them out of the bottom three. Mary said "the first cut is the deepest, and this one's really going to hurt," but she said she was looking forward to their individual routines. Susie & Marquis' smooth waltz was good enough to keep them safe for another week without complications. The next spot in the bottom three came down to Comfort & Chris and Rayven & Jamie, and it was Rayven & Jamie that fell to the bottom. Nigel reiterated that he didn't think their performance was memorable and that there was a possibility that Rayven pulling down Jamie's pants offended some voters.
With one spot in the bottom three waiting to be claimed, the final three couples took the stage to get their results. Katie & Joshua's war-inspired hip hop dance kept them safe. That left Jessica & Will, whose tango sizzled and had Mary telling them they were the couple to beat, and Courtney & Gev, whose disco dance missed the mark for Nigel, to find out which of them would be in the bottom. Jessica & Will slipped to the bottom three, which surprised Karaty, who said, "I do not think that they deserve to be in the bottom three."
The bottom six: Kourtni, Matt, Rayven, Jamie, Jessica and Will. The six dancers would later perform solos in hopes of impressing the judges enough to keep them safe.
Guest appearances: Poppin' Pete and Shonie, poppers who are among the innovators of the style, did a fun bit of choreography. Later, The Pussycat Dolls would perform their new single, "When I Grow Up."
Flying solo: Kourtni Lind was the first dancer to go solo for the judges. She still looked a little shaken and appeared emotional after her performance and seemed to have had it cut off just as it was about to get interesting. Matt was up next with a little contemporary bit. Rayven did a "rock princess ballerina" routine. West Coast swing dancer Jamie showed some nifty moves. Jessica, another contemporary dancers, tried to pull the crowd into it. Will, also a contemporary dancer, relied on some big jumps and balancing moves for his solo.
Cat asked Nigel, Mary and Dan to go backstage to deliberate about their decision.
Exit, stage left: Nigel said the decision on which girl would go home was unanimous. He asked Kourtni to step forward and asked her to inject what they saw in her solo into her couples routines. Nigel told Rayven and Jessica that they were both disappointing and told Jessica she'd continue in the competition while Rayven went home.
On to the guys, Nigel asked Will to step forward. He told Will that he was disappointed to see Will in the bottom three, called him "an incredible dancer" and said he has everything he needs to get to the finale. Nigel said if they could fuse Jamie's personality and Matt's technique, they'd be ideal. Nigel said the judges went with technique over personality in deciding to keep Matt in the competition. That meant Jamie went home.
