The last few weeks, John at Theory My Culture 
has been questioning the quality of choreography and it's effects on the competition. He continues:
What Shane took from Sara - and what Alex gave to Danny and Sara - was the chance to be soulful. This is one of the things that separates Sara from a lot of other hip-hop dancers from this and the last two seasons: the ability to carry her soulfulness from the home-style dance into other styles. That’s hard to do, whether you’re a hip-hop, lyrical, ballroom, or any other dancer. Again, that’s why I like the mash-up method of So You Think You Can Dance? so much. That’s the challenge, but such a challenge counts on choreography. I still wonder if Danny can do hip-hop. Both of his routines have been design catastrophes. I wonder if Sara would still be around if a good routine would have cleared space for her most intimate dancer-self to come out on the stage. Her hip-hop last night should have been the girlpower moment of the season. Salt-n-Pepa, after all (that mix was so terrible…), so the music itself asked for the girlpower moment. Shane, you owe us and you really, really owe Sara.

TV Cocktail reviews the results show:
We were also warned from purchasing tickets to the SYTYCD tour, since all those sellers are unauthorized to do so. Who knew it was possible to buy tickets before they even went on sale? It was very “The More You Know” public service announcement. Maybe the show should just take up a general concern, like spaying/neutering your pets, or encouraging audiences to buy green products and save the ozone. And as if his previous diatribes had been ignored, Nigel headed for a triple threat on his soapbox about why people should dance. He noted that there are, in fact, careers in dance for former dancers – a fact a number of my friends who were dance majors would l-o-v-e to argue.
