SYTYCD Week Five: Spotlight on Ahsleigh and Jakob

Last night on "So You Think You Can Dance," the remaining 12 couples performed two pieces instead of one. It was also the last time the dancers performed with the partners they've been dancing with all season. Next week, the dancers will not only draw their dance genre from random, but they will also be drawing their partner from random for the rest of the season.

But let's get to last night's show...

Ashleigh's and Jakob's performances were definitely my favorites of the night. I'm sad to see this couple split after this week. The pair has the strongest chemistry of all the couples. "Everyone can tell you have so much fun, genuinely, dancing together," said Mary. "You can't fake that kind of chemistry."

The couple started off with a Pop Jazz routine choreographed by Sonyah Tayeh (my favorite choreographer, by the way...other than Mia Michaels.) The routine was perfect for the couple's last nigth as a couple. It was so beautiful, Adam Shankman was speechless. He did have one negative comment: "Jakob don't ever wear those pants again." (The pants? Tight. Skinny. Bright purple.)

The couple's second dance was the Cha Cha, and I LOVED watching Ashleigh dance in her own style. I can't remember that last time I got to see her dance ballroom. You will definitely be seeing these two in the Top 10 next week...and probably (hopefully) even the Top 4.

As for the other couples, pretty much everyone killed it. It was certainly a tough night for voting. However, I would expect to see Karen/Victor and Mollee/Nathan in the bottom three couples. (Yes, I'm still anxious to see Mollee and Nathan go...though it would be interesting to see how the two perform with more mature partners. The judges all agreed that splitting up next week would be a good thing for Mollee and Nathan.)

Results show tonight at 7 pm.
