A combination of “just not bringing it” and bad wardrobe resulted in the elimination of our first two hopefuls this week.  Paris Torres and her partner Tony Bellissimo were eliminated after performing a hip-hop dance that just didn’t strike any chords with neither the judges nor the viewing audience.
"We tried to take everything into account.  It isn't just based on what we saw this evening, it isn't just based on what we saw last night.  It's based on everything we know about you and also who else is in the competition… (W)e didn't feel tonight that you brought everything you can bring and that looking at all of the other contemporary dancers we have in the show, unfortunately you will be leaving us tonight," Nigel told the pair.

Both eliminations, Nigel told us, were unanimous.   Comments from the judges included the costumes which they felt were a distraction and that the performances of the two left them disappointed.

So You Think You Can Dance's next episode will air Wednesday, April 17 at 8PM ET/PT on Fox, with each of the nine remaining couples performing a choreographed routine.  Thursday at 9pm ET/PT, three more couples will dance for their lives and two more will be eliminated.
