Gray at Fame Or Famine fantasizes about what the judges should have said to Lacey & Sabra after their Wade/Fox routine:
Mary Murphy: "I’m a ballroom dance expert! And as such, everything I say has to have an exclamation point! After it! But it’s to convey excitement - and if there’s one thing about ballroom dance that excites me, it’s connection. Ballroom dance is about establishing and celebrating a relationship between the performers, and letting the audience in voyeuristically on that connection. But there are all kinds of connection, and while we aren’t quite mature enough as an American culture to allow you two to explore a romantic dance with each other, the way you established and told the entire story of parenting - ranging from the tired efforts of a mother to feed her child, the foxling’s curiousity and playfulness, and finally even the support and sorrow involved in setting one’s young off into the world to take their own steps - you both managed to convey all of that, using stylized movements that I’d recognize as somewhat reminiscent of butoh if I wasn’t so busy getting ready to EAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Sorry, that one got away from me, but then again, outside of this alternate Fame or Famine reality your beautiful dance, the comfortable way you combined talents to tell a story, got run over like a hot tamale in the express lane of the tunneled vision."

Beckylooo runs off at the fingers and gives us some great dance videos:
Danny and Lacey – Waltz: Sigh. How lovely was this? But if I had a million dollars to throw around, I'd offer it to Jean Marc to pick a different song. Talk about disconnect. I don't wanna listen to a whiny, spoiled, thief while looking at such languid deliciousness. The last lift was a mite awkward (their "I'm so sleepy" moment) but whatever. Silk and Hyacinths this was.

Craig Berman at MSNBC handicaps the final 4 and comments:
"So You Think You Can Dance' is unique among reality shows in that the talent gap among the top competitors is nearly nonexistent. Each of the four finalists has shown they have the skills to make it as professionals dancers, and the judges remind them of that every week.
Picking the most deserving contestant is tricky, since even the judges have a hard time evaluating some routines because of the choreography.
