‘So You Think You Can Dance’: did Melanie Moore, Sasha Mallory survive?

On Thursday night, we finally had the final four announced on “So You Think You Can Dance,” and on surface, it appeared as if we already knew the people advancing to the finale — Sasha Mallory, Melanie Moore, Marko Germar, and Tadd Gadduang.
Unfortunately, the show tortured us over the course of the hour before we finally found out any sort of answer. Melanie Moore and Marko Germar were (unsurprisingly) the first two dancers declared safe during the night, and then we finally had the ultimate decision.
When it comes to the ladies, we had to say goodbye to Caitlynn Lawson. She probably saw this coming, but you do have to tip your hat to the girl for giving so much effort even though she knew she was up against two incredible performers in Sasha and Melanie.
Meanwhile, our prediction came through as Ricky Jaime was eliminated on the men’s side. He is one of the best examples of a fighter that we have ever seen — there were at least three times on this show where we thought he would be sent home, but he always managed to keep on fighting — at least until now.
What do you think of this final four lineup?

I’m SO happy for Sasha!!! She has a built-in fan base of Adam fans, but we’re not going to vote-vote-vote unless she’s fabulous, and she was! She has had, over the course of the competition, so many outstanding performances – what would the season have been like without her? Without Coming Home? Without “breakfast”? Without her Gaga’s boot dance with Melanie? As Christina said, Sasha just putting her splayed hand on the wall is electric. She and Kent moved two judges to tears last night. What a talent! We knew she was good, but we had no idea she was THAT good! Good luck to all 4 at the Finale!
