It was going to be an extra long holiday weekend for one guy and one girl on "So You Think You Can Dance" as another Thursday night brought about another round of eliminations.

After a picture perfect (sorry, couldn't resist) opening dance routine in which all the dancers emerged as characters in a painting who came to life after the art gallery closed, host Cat Deeley brought out the first two couples: Karla & Vitolio and Randi & Evan. Cat promised us that one of them was safe and the other was in the bottom three. Randi & Evan were safe, meaning Karla & Vitolio were in the bottom three.

Nigel said the couple were "no strangers to the bottom three," and said they would cope with it OK. We'd find out with their solos later in the evening.

Among the next three couples to the stage were Janette & Brandon, who sent the judges into a tizzy with their cha cha cha. They'll ride the Hot Tamale Train all the way to at least next week.

Kayla & Kupono and Melissa & Ade remained on stage awaiting their fate. Both couples wowed the judges and the audience with their performances the night before. Melissa looked a little down when Cat asked, "Would classical ballet translate into votes?" The answer was yes, and Melissa's frown was turned upside down. That left Kayla & Kupono in the bottom three, and Mia Michaels said she was completely shocked. She said the couple was important to the competition and needed to stay in it.

The final two couples to the stage were Caitlin & Jason and Jeanine & Phillip. Did Caitlin & Jason's alien dance prove too weird for viewers to handle? The final couple safe, Cat announced, was Caitling & Jason. That meant Jeanine & Phillip were among the bottom three couples.

So the bottom six dancers performing solos were Karla, Vitolio, Kayla, Kupono, Jeanine and Phillip. Mary said she couldn't wait to see Phillip's solo, and Cat noted that we haven't seen Jeanine do her own style, contemporary.

It's worth noting that Vitolio chose the potentially ominous "Here Comes Goodbye," by Rascal Flatts.

Be our guests: Dancers Desmond Richardson and Patricia Hachey kept the classical ballet groove going with a traditional pas de deux that Cat noted was a dazzling display of "strength and beauty." 

Kelly Clarkson popped in later to perform her new single, "I Do Not Hook Up."

Cutting time: Nigel came back to the judges' table and said they were unanimous with their decisions tonight. He told Jeanine that it can be a challenge dancing with a partner who gets as much attention as Phillip, but her solo was the best of the night, and he sent her back to safety.

Nigel told Kayla she was one of the judges' favorites, but said she was "exceptionally static" in her solo and was "not really dancing from the heart." He then told Karla that was "without question, a very, very good dancer," but she hadn't "captured the star quality" that she'd had in the beginning. He sent Karla home, meaning Kayla was safe.

Nigel then addressed the guys, and asked Phillip to step forward. He told Phillip he was unique and "absolutely superb" at what he does. He told Phillip he'd get more chances to master the other forms of dance, because he was safe.

Nigel next told Vitolio he always presents himself "brilliantly," but doesn't end up delivering. He then knocked Kupono for a weakly choreographed solo, saying "we need so much more passion from anybody who is going to be on this show." Kupono would get opportunities to prove himself, because he was safe, meaning it was the end of the road for Vitolio.
