The beginning was fun and I liked it, but they had kind of a rough ending.

This is the first time these two have danced together, and they make a great couple, they seem to work so well together. They had a lot of fun with that one. Twitch makes me laugh, and as we discovered last week, Courtney is a pro at beating up her male partners. So great way to start out the night!

Beating up on men is her forte, huh? No wonder you like her!

Keep it up, Clyde...

Guys? The dance? I will say that Twitch twirling Courtney on his head didn’t go quite as planned, but it was a good effort. I don’t agree with Mary saying it was a knock out performance, but it was def good.

Another abusive relationship story. Dancer X is unsure what this says about American Dance that we have to suffer through so many of these. The staccato movements suit Twitch well, although Dancer X suspects he is better than this. It did not seem to have enough of a challenge for Twitch. And yes, Julie, the spin-Courtney-on-Twitch’s-head thing looked clumsy.

They got a bit tired in the end but really good performance.

I'd like to bring up that, while these dances are complex and they're all over the stage, they always seem really winded after routines. Shouldn't they have a LITTLE better stamina than that? I'm asking this honestly, as a non-dancer. For "professional" dancers, they look like they're suckin' a lot of wind after these dances...

Well, I think they all just came into the finale exhausted! I mean, two of them were taken to the hospital for exhaustion, Clyde...and those routines are PACKED with tough tricks...you'd be winded, too!

I know I would, Jules, but I'm not a professional dancer! Just saying, is all. Anyway, Spastic dance moves with some play acting and a fake ball punch. Meh. Kind of sloppy at the end, too. Not good.

I thought it was kinda' cool, but pretty sloppy. Especially for the finale. It was pretty sweet when Courtney walked on Twitch, though. That was the highlight for me. Dogg.

Katee and Joshua are next with a Wade Robson choreographed Lyrical piece. We know that Katee and Joshua are a great pair, we have seen it all season...

...and that was another good one for them! I haven’t seen a better connection between two couples this season.

Katee and Joshua are my fav couple to see together, and I couldn’t wait to see them dance a number choreographed by Wade to a John Mayer song. That was an amazing performance; I wouldn’t be surprised if this is my favorite dance of the night! Unlike Twitch and Courtney’s dance, I totally believed their emotions. It didn’t feel faked or over the top, it was just perfect. I loved the freezes at the beginning, and their faces throughout the routine, there were just so many little moves that just drew you in.

Wow...I think they sold me in this piece, great performance.

Dancer X hopes we’re getting the weak stuff out of the way tonight. Although this was definitely a better performance than the comic-abuse of Twitch and Courtney’s number, it still seemed slow and easy. There was too much acting and not enough impressive stunt work. These are warmup dances. And by this point in the competition, if Dancer X saw Katee on the street without a nightie on, Dancer X would probably not even recognize her.

Yo, somebody turn the lights on! I couldn't even SEE that! From what I could tell, they were a little better than the first pair. I guess. If you wanna' call that better.

I think you just did. I get what they were going for...but I didn't like it at all. It was just weird to me. Next.

Courtney and Katee are partnered up for the first time to do a Broadway routine from Tyce Diorio.

They enjoyed themselves with that one, but how could you not with a Tyce Broadway number. I think that Nigel playing favorites with Katee was a little jerky. I thought Courtney was just lovely, as was Katee.

Seeing the girls dance together really shows you the differences between the two. I think Katee is the better dancer, technically, but Courtney really knows how to turn it on for the camera in a Broadway number. I’m not sure what makes for a better performance, but I really enjoyed the pairing!

Ah, very interesting. “The Trolley Song” is about the cheesiest piece of crap song one would ever hear, but with the lyrics removed and the annoying Broadway story-for-simpletons stricken, we can actually see a fun, fast, entertaining dance. And bonus, it’s not about one person beating the other! Good use of props, good display of synchronized choreography! Dancer X approves.

A nice number, my style of dresses!

You...uh...you would look nice in one of those, Tango.

What? What's that supposed to...wait, that's not how I meant it at all!

Relax, old man. Just joking around with you, don't get all cop-ish.

A joke, eh? I see. Well, never let it be said that Sgt. Tango doesn't enjoy a bit of humor, once in a while...

Parasols, dogg? Yeah!!! That's what I'm talkin' about! That was HOT! Finally, a dance that's USEFUL to the fans - we can finally put the two chicks side by side and compare their skills, or somethin' like that. Which one's supposed to be better? I think the yellow one did a little better. She was snappier and more fluid compared to Katee.

I'm with Artie. Katee seemed a bit stiff, somehow. Courtney looked right at home with this cheeseball style of dance. I think that may be why I don't really like her, to be honest. Clearly, she's big on charisma...so, the energetic style worked for her. It still felt like something you'd see at a high school talent show, though.

So does EVERYTHING we see on this stage, dogg.

It all just feels so hokey to me, I can't take it seriously. And BROAD-FREAKING-WAY doesn't help.

You guys are terrible! That dance was fun!

Well, sure. But if this were a Fun Contest, I might have a different reaction. As a DANCE contest, however, I think this was just a bit too goofy to really be good.

Now the boys are up dancing together to Tchaikovsky’s "The Nutcracher Suite." Should be...interesting?

Wow, that was so much more fun than I was expecting! Joshua’s height on those jumps was amazing! Twitch had some crazy knee work, and the strength for the moves they did together was fantastic! The competitiveness between them is great, and really showed through. I loved it, and I love these two.

Can I first just remind everyone by saying these two guys are HIP-HOP dancers?!! That was astonishing!; That style of dance is so energetic, and so much fun to watch, and then they gave it to two guys who are so entertaining and so amusing. It worked out so well! It was one of my favorites from this season.

Right, right. Calm down, Daph. You sound like your head's about to pop.

Well, what did YOU think of it?! Seriously, you're not a fan of this show or of dancers in general...

Is that obvious? Oh, I'm so sorry.

What did you think of that dance? I mean, you have to have felt SOMETHING while watching that!

She's right, Clyde. I mean, look how happy that dance made Daphne and me! Didn't you feel even a LITTLE bit of joy watching it?

Girls, you know I love you both dearly. But this is not my Revelation Moment, where I come around and start liking this show. They were impressive, sure...but was I jumping out of my seat? No. I mean, is it just me, or did Twitch not actually DO anything?

No, it's not just you. I think Joshua took advantage of his athleticism over Twitch, and totally just showed him up!

Holy crap...Julie, I think they're actually talking about the DANCE WE JUST WATCHED!

Twitch never really answered any of the challenges. He didn't try to out-jump or out-spin Joshua. He was all attitude, sure...but if this was an attitude competition, I think I'd have enjoyed the entire series a lot more. It WAS funny to see these guys dancing to this song, though.

I thought it was a really cool idea. I don't know if the choreographer didn't give Twitch as much to do as Joshua because he couldn't HANDLE it, or what. It could've been one of the coolest dances of the season if they'd both shown off their stuff equally. As it is, I think Joshua came out ahead on that one.

Artie, Clyde...your inability to recognize great dance when you see it saddens Dancer X! How wildly fun! They took a classic folk, as distinct to Russian culture as borscht, and turned it into a modern Top That dance-off. Positively brilliant. These same-sex pairings are so fresh and different that Dancer X has to wonder why we haven’t done more of these, this season. Dancer X suspects Twitch muffed the ending, as his final pose didn’t happen until after the music stopped. Perhaps that was intentional, but it looked lousy. -1 for Twitch.

Well, watching these two battle it out, I thought I might have to break those two up! Take it outside, fellows!

Twitch is back to dance with Katee in a Foxtrot. I’m usually not a big fan of the Foxtrot, but this was very entertaining. These are my two favorites to win, so naturally I loved them dancing together. Twitch holding Katee up in that lift was so beautiful, and his strength was impressive. Neither one of them are ballroom dancers, but you could have fooled anyone with this performance.

Dancer X was totally right about the first half of the show being easy and sucky. That dance went from elegant to dangerous and back again. That was a performance to remember, with a nice mix of flowy ballroom and blowsy romance.

Katee, of course, was flawless. Twitch...he’s a hip hop dancer! He was so smooth and debonair during that number. Let me just say that I would love to hit the floor with that guy! He is amazing. That was the best foxtrot I have seen this season.

The way you girls drool over these guys...I mean, really.

Jealous much, Clyde?

Settle down. No one's hitting the floor with anyone on MY watch. That was a beautiful dance! Twitch might have stolen Katee away. Some domestic disputes going on with our couples, tonight!

Pretty smooth, stylish...I was cool with this one. Glad Twitch could be part of a dance I enjoyed, tonight, after having chosen him to win, already. Thanks for showing up halfway through the show, buddy.

I'm pretty sure he's one of the ones that passed out. It seems like he's laid-back this evening...even during this one, during which he did well. I was cool with that Foxtrot. They both looked pretty good.

Maybe they took some tough stuff - like those high jumps, earlier - out of Twitch's dances tonight...because he might fall over the die. He seems a bit off, possibly due to health concerns. It's all good, he's got that sunglasses shirt, so I still say he'll win it all. He's got a name you'll remember. I mean, who will remember a "Courtney" or a "Joshua" a year from now?

I think Joshua is a very memorable name, dogg. It's a great name.

Meh. I dunno'.

Courtney and Joshua are doing the Jive next. I think that was the first time this season that we’ve seen a routine move that fast and they seemed to do it with absolutely no problems, and no mistakes. I really enjoyed that one as well. And I think Nigel was once again a bit hard on the two of them. I thought they were fabulous.

Well, now I think we know who had to be hospitalized for exhaustion. I’m out of breath just watching them! They had sooo many crazy tricks and fancy footwork, that was great! Nigel was way too harsh with his critiques of the two of them, I understand his wanting to give them his opinion, but they really did do a great job in a very difficult routine...after dancing an entire night of dancing to boot.

I'm going to have to issue a speeding ticket for this one! You were going pretty fast there, Courtney and Joshua. What's that? Talking back to Sgt. Tango?! You want two citations? Don't push me!

PSSSST...who's he talking to?

The television. Just stay calm and don't make eye contact...

This is the only thing that can save Courtney: fast, energetic, highly intricate dancing. Well done, you’ve kept yourself in the competition. Now, if you could phone Brian Setzer and tell him to stop trying to bring swing back, Dancer X would vote for you. Again, Dancer X suspects the ending was botched. Maybe Joshua was supposed to kill himself at the end, or else it was an accident and he covered it up well? Either way shows a man in control of his performance, even when it goes awry.

Man, they look exhausted. All of them look tired, tonight. Understandable, I guess...but, yeah, it was an energetic dance by two dancers who are running on fumes.

I disagree!

Really?

Naaah, just kidding. It looked ok...I didn't notice the fatigue, so I guess...maybe I kinda' DO disagree?

Wow.

Yeah. Sorry, dogg.

No, no, it's fine. Be your own man and all.

I thought they looked fine.

That’s good. I'm glad you did. I...uh...I want you to enjoy yourself. As much as possible during this show.

Katee's totally fine.

That wasn't Katee.

Oh. Well, they're both...pretty hot.

Yeah.

What do you think Dancer X?

Dancer X hates you both. I disapprove of this discourse greatly. BACK TO THE DANCE! FOCUS ON THE DANCE!

It was okay.

I think they danced like...people who can dance.

Only tired.

FINAL GROUP PERFORMANCE: The Top 4 end the show with one last dance!

The final four closed out the night with a Mia Michaels contemporary piece.

I can not believe after going through everything they have tonight, they have one last routine with the four of them!

I really think all four of these dancers are ready for this competition to be over so they can take a day and just sleep. And that final number was amazing, and a great way to close out this competition.

Haha...it was perfect that the guys went shirtless for their last performance. Seeing the four of them dance together was a great way to end the night. And, Daphne, I have a feeling that even with all the anxiety, they are gonna sleep like ROCKS tonight!

Mia certainly pushed them really hard. I wonder if she'll put two of them in the hospital this week?

Hee hee...hopefully they don't make a habit out of hospitalizing exhausted SYTYCD contestants, Sarge!

A bit flat for Dancer X’s tastes. While the stuntwork was much appreciated, there was too much galloping. It was like outtakes from Toy Story 2, you know, where the horse hilariously trots out of frame and Tom Hanks quips something although you know it’s not an actual quip because these are CG characters and therefore the supposed outtake was in fact planned out over a three day render session. And then they all had a shared group spasm at the end? Dancer X will just chalk this up everyone being entirely too shagged out from the good bits in the middle.

I wasn't into that at all. Not my style, really didn't much enjoy that. Sorry.

They didn't look together at all. Highlight for me was that robot down the line thing that Dancer X hated.

I'd have been happier if they just all came out and did the Peanuts kids dance. Figures this show would end on a self-important, overly-emotional note. Yuck.

What a weird way to end it, dogg. Shoulda' brought back the Bollywood dance. That was the highlight of the SEASON for me.

SYTYCD FINAL PREDICTIONS : Who will win it all?

Best routine of the night was Twitch and Joshua’s Trepak. My personal favorite dancer of the night was Twitch, especially during his foxtrot with Katee. Katee was the best technically. Joshua had the best solo. And Courtney did so much better than what the judges (Nigel) gave her credit for and had the best energy. Who is going to win? Tough call. Last week, I said Katee. This week, my best guess would be Katee, but Joshua and Twitch have a great chance too. Unfortunately, I think Courtney may be the worst of the best. Personally, I prefer Courtney to Katee, but I don’t think many will agree with me. So I am going to say...Katee is our winner!

I agree with Daphne. Katee remains my favorite to win. I think she really deserves it with her technique. I still wouldn’t be surprised if Twitch pulled off the win, he has the best personality and amazing skills. Joshua is my third to win, his strength and height on the jumps still impresses me. I’m not sure Courtney could win this thing, but her personality really shines where others fall short.

I believe that Katee will win! Her dancing skills exceed all those others. A star in Harlem!

Dancer X does not relish the task of choosing merely one winner, but Dancer X will give it a go. Firstly, Courtney is out. Katee SHOULD win it, but she tends to let herself get overshadowed by the gentlemen. So this becomes a battle of the Hip Hop All Stars, Twitch and Joshua. Twitch should NOT win when pitted head to head against Joshua (or Katee), but, as Clyde has pointed out, he has leveraged his brand better, and he is taller. Dancer X says Katee should win, but Joshua will pull out the upset in a squeaker of a tally.

I'm sticking with Twitch because that's just my thing. I say something, then stick with it.

On the other hand, MY thing is say something and NOT sticking with it. Originally, I said I thought Twitch would win...and, although I still WANT him to win because he's a strong dancer with a cool personality and not a lot of formal training, I don't think he put in his best performances, tonight. So, my prediction is...NOT TWITCH! Ha ha...no, seriously. I'm gonna' go with Joshua! Why not? Solid performances all night and all season.

We have a pretty wide range of predictions, here...which just shows you how hard it is to pick just one winner out of this group!

Like I said at the top of the column, I would be happy if any of these dancers win. What an amazing season this was! Join us tomorrow, right here on Electric Blogaloo, for our So You Think You Can Dance? Season Finale Results Show Commentary Extravaganza!

We'll...all be here. Every last one of us...with our final thoughts on what are sure to be SHOCKING results -- COMFORT WINS! COMFORT WINS! SHE'S BACK AND SHE WINS!

NOOOOO! Ha ha ha!

I know, I was a shocked as you! Didn't see that coming, did you Queen of All Reality?

"Queen of All Reality" has a nice ring to it! Thank you, Clyde.

You'll have to ask Dancer X if you can have his title before you start using it all the time.

OOOOOOOH! Sick burn!

Woah!

Not funny, Mr. Collins. Dancer X does not approve of your immature gender-based insults...nor do I approve of your drab fashion sense! Simon Cowell called...he wants his t-shirt back!

Zing!

OH, NO HE DI'ENT!

You listen to me, you bloated flamingo --

OK...OK...that's enough. Break it up or I'll bust you up!

Wow! Tensions are running high, so let's end this column! See you tomorrow with the results...and the winner of SYTYCD Season 4!
