Well, SYTYCDISM (www.sytycdism.com) was right, the Top 8 elimination is ALWAYS a shocker, and this season's Top 8 unfortunately continued the trend.
The night started with a beautiful group number from Mia guest starring Ade as an Angel. I would love to see another All Star/ Competitor group dance sometime soon!
On to the results. I'm not sure who thought it was a good idea to reveal the results to a group of two dancers then a group of five, but just fyi, it's NOT. Lauren and Bill were up first with Billy in the bottom. Then, in a bit of a shocker, Ashley is in the bottom. AgainI ask, who is voting for Adechike?!?! So confused by that choice.
The cast of In the Heights (that I'm soooooo excited to FINALLY see this Saturday) performs "96,000" which I've seen them perform a dozen or so times already. It was especially good tonight though, and I'm even more stoked to get to see it w/ Lin Manuel Miranda the brains behind it (writer, lyricist, star...it's just HIS show).
We get Billy's and Ashley's solos, they're fine, but in the end it turns out Alex has a lacerated Achilles and needs surgery on Tuesday with a recovery time of at least 3 months. I knew it was happening (stupid Twitter) but I am still bawling. Alex is an absolutely amazing dancer, and he sacrificed so much to come on the show to learn and grow as a dancer. Nigel said he is welcome to come back to them next season, and I say just assume he's in the Top 10 or 20 or whatever. If he can/does come back, I saw Alex FTW Season 8! Thanks for raising the bar, Alex. We'll miss you this season.
