Jonathan Burkin
Sarah Lenore
SickStep – sent through by the judges
…meaning the acts sent home were:
The Texas State Strutters
Michael Strelo-Smith
Bruce Block
Shequida
Mattthew Piazzi
The Dallas Desperado Dancers – “I thought you were over-complicating things and what you were doing wasn’t you”
Bryan Cheathem – “You mentioned that your dream is to be a headline act in Vegas. After that, it’s more likely you’ll have be a headline act on a cruise ship.”
Flambo – “The timing was non-existent, it was very boring”
Kaitlyn Maher – “This may be the first time in this show that we have a four year old in the finals”
Dorae Saunders as Tina Turner – “That was undeniably great fun… but I don’t think it’s fair to put you through with another tribute act who not only looks and dances, but sings”
Donald Braswell – “America brought you back after we said no, and after that performance, America got it right”
Indiggo – “Ladies, I think I speak for the whole of America when I say: the sooner you both get shipped back to Bulgaria, the better” – man, these girls are annoying
The Tapping Dads – “Judging you purely on dancing… if Fred Astaire could see that, he’d be turning in his grave”
Eli Mattson – “I’ve got one word for you: sensational”
Nuttin But Stringz – “You guys are my favorite act in the show, you rocked it tonight!”
