- The top 10 contestants dance a group performance choreographed by Sonya Tayeh. Debi Nova performs with six of the All-Stars dancing backup. Bryan Gaynor and his crew "RemoteKontrol" also perform. One dancer is eliminated.
- The opener number for the second results show of the season on "So You Think You Can Dance" was a dark one by Sonya Tayeh.
To the results: After some hyping of "National Dance Day," host Cat Deeley called up the first set of dancers for results. Kent was safe, leaving Adechike and Cristina to see which of them would land in the bottom three. It was Cristina. Adechike was safe for another week.
Adam Shankman took the opportunity to tell Cristina to fight to stay in the competition, then he tried to smooth over what some viewers thought were harsh criticisms on Wednesday. He said no one is above criticism and that pros know how to take it.
Cat brought up another group. Alex and Jose were safe, leaving Melinda and Ashley waiting. The next dancer in the bottom three was Melinda. Ashley was safe. Nigel said it was difficult to say what the voters didn't see in Melinda, and said that somehow Melinda had to show some vulnerability.
Finally, Cay called up the final group of dancers. Lauren was safe, leaving Billy and Robert to see which would land in the bottom three. It was Robert. Billy was sailing into the next round, and Robert was in the bottom three. Mia said she was shocked, even though she was rough on Robert the night before.
Be our guest: Cat gave a quick reminder about Bryan Gaynor. a past contestant who has scoliosis. He was back with his dance crew, "Remote Control," and they tore up the stage to the delight of the crowd.
Later, Costa Rican singer Debi Nova paid a visit to perform her song, "Drummer Boy."
Back to the results: Nigel said the result was not unanimous. He called Robert forward and reminded him that last week the contest lost a girl. He said it would have been easy to let Robert go, but they decided against that.
He next asked Melinda to step forward and said the public, for some reason, was not connecting with her. He said he thought she should go this week, but Mia and Adam insisted she should stay.
That made the news that Cristina was leaving as no surprise. He told her she was great at taking criticism and wished her the best, but it was the end of the road for her.
