It's four weeks into the
So You Think You Can Dance live shows and last night (Tuesday, 30 Sept.) saw the competition reach a new benchmark as
Louisa Talbot and
Katlego Khunou got eliminated - despite both dancers being able to dance.
Over the past few weeks those who've been eliminated bordered on the edge of being deluded but now things are getting to the point of Harold's wise words aka "The dancers are only as good as their last dance."
The Results show opened with dancers doing a hip hop intro. followed by the results of viewers votes. The bottom three couples were:Katlego and Elizma, who danced the Waltz on Saturday's show; Louisa and Thabiso who Krumped; and Tania and Nqaba who danced Broadway.
The sixsome each danced for their lives and then faced their Didi/David/Harold firing squad.
Before eliminating Louisa, Harold commented that the judges hadn't been uninanimious in their decision - an aftermath of their conflict about Louisa's krumping during Saturday night's show.
Didi took flack from both David and Harold over her harsh comments to several contestants. Louisa in particular came in for some strong Didi-isms: “You are the sexiest couple in the show but no-one said you have to get ugly with it,” were her comments to them after their angry krump.
In the end her views krumped Harold and David - who also seemed be influenced by Louisa's dance for her life, saying it wasn't her best.
Louisa said goodbye, had a cry with Sade and Thabiso, Katlego and Nqaba faced the jury. Harold commented that the judges wanted Katlego to be more than a good, stable partner to Elizma and announced that he'd be going home too.
