I picked Lex for the win early on, but this season top four is amazing! Best dance of the night was Lex and Taylor who announced they had fallen in love during the show!

You Think You Can Dance season 14 is almost ready to
crown "America's Favorite Dancer." Last time,
Kaylee Millis of Team Cyrus and Logan Hernandez from Team
Allison were sent home.

That
means that Lex Ishimoto , Koine "Koko" Iwasaki,
Taylor Sieve and Chris "Kiki" Nyemchek will dance
for your votes and the So
You Think You Can Dance crown


Are you ready, dance fans? This is the So
You Think You Can Dance live blog!
We kick off with a fun group hip-hop routine,
choreographed by NappyTabs, that is a real crowd-pleaser. It
even shows the judges dancing and waving their glow
sticks.Cat
looks smashing, as always.
The contestants will dance with each other in
varied combinations, dance with their All-Star in their
favorite season 14 routine and perform a solo. Viewer votes
from last time will be combined with votes from this
episode.

Now
let's welcome the judges -- Mary Murphy , Vanessa
Hudgens and Nigel Lythgoe .


Group Dance: Koine, Kiki, Taylor and Lex
Choreographed
by Travis Wall and Christopher Scott

I am
already excited! Koine will portray Earth, and Taylor is
wind. Kiki will play fire, and Lex is water. Koine is
dancing in sand, while Lex dances in a shower of water.
Taylor floats above the stage on a rope while wind swirls
around her. They all perform beautifully, and I have
chills.How to Vote

You can super vote at FOX.com/Dance or on the FOX Now
app. Voting begins at the end of the show and is open until
9am Pacific Time Tuesday morning. Get voting!

Taylor and Kiki
Cha-Cha
choreographed by Anya Garnis

This
is Taylor and KikI's first time dancing together and,
unfortunately, it shows. The connection between them is sort
of lukewarm, and Taylor seems uncomfortable. Mary
compliments Taylor's sharpness, except for a little
snafu near the end, and Mary puts her on the hot tamale
train. Nigel praises Kiki's command of the dance and his
partnering skills.Lex and Koine
Broadway
choreographed by Al Blackstone

This
number is about the love of pizza, with Lex portraying a
pizza delivery man. This breezy routine is filled with
humor, and this duo really sells the characters. They also
earn a standing ovation from the judges. Nigel praises how
much Lex has grown. Mary is impressed by Koine's
ability to make her performance feel organic and natural.
She also proclaims that this routine is one of her all-time
favorites. That is high praise indeed.Kiki and All-Star Jenna
Contemporary
choreographed by Mandy Moore

Kiki
and Jenna reminisce about his So
You Think You Can Dance journey and how far he has come
since his rocky time at the Academy. Kiki loves this routine
because it forces him to grow the most. Jenna and Kiki are
stunning in this simple and emotional piece. They also earn
a standing ovation from the judges. Cat notices that Jenna
is sobbing and asks Jenna why she is so emotional. Jenna is
sad because she "loves dancing with him." Okay, I
am officially getting teary-eyed. Vanessa praises Kiki's
choice of routine and his connection with Jenna. Mary is
also emotional, and she tells him that he has surrendered
even more to the dance this time.Solo: Lex

Lex's mother expresses how proud she is of her
son and all his hard work. He is certainly taking no
prisoners and utilizes every pulse of music in this
energetic routine.Koine with All-Star Marko
African-Jazz
choreographed by Sean Cheesman


Koine reflects on how difficult it was both emotionally and
physically at the Academy. Koine also struggled with
self-doubt at the start of the live shows. This piece, about
an insect, is full of lifts and complex movements. Nigel
raves about Koine's versatility. Vanessa tells Koine
that she "could not stop thinking" about this
routine.Solo: Kiki


Kiki's parents are so proud of him and all his hard
work. Kiki's masculine and passionate paso doble wows
the crowd.
 Group
Routine: The All-Stars
Choreographed
by Keone and Mari

I
love this hip-hop piece and its old-school feel.Koine and Taylor
Jazz
choreographed by Mandy Moore

This
piece is about girl power, and it is sensual and sexy. The
judges award another standing ovation. Nigel mentions that
Mary and Vanessa are performing this routine during the
finale (in his dreams!). Nigel comments on what a great job
Koine and Taylor did with such a difficult routine. Vanessa
calls it "the ultimate female empowerment
routine," and she also praises the Bob Fosse
movements.Lex and Kiki
Hip-Hop
choreographed by Luther Brown

This
routine is full of swag, and I am impressed that Kiki is
almost keeping up with Lex. This duo also wins a standing
ovation from the judges. Mary likes the routine and pretty
much says that she thinks either Kiki or Lex will win the
cash prize. Wow! Nigel is impressed with how down-to-earth
Lex is, and he has a special surprise for Kiki. He shows the
footage of Kiki's infamous hip-hop routine at the
Academy and praises how far Kiki has come. Lex and Kiki also
take a moment to wish Luther a happy birthday!Taylor
and All-Star Robert
Contemporary
choreographed by Travis Wall


Taylor always dreamed of being on the show, and she found
that performing in front of the All-Stars was extremely
stressful. Taylor believes that this routine has given her
the confidence to continue in the competition. Taylor once
again demonstrates her control and strength, and the
connection between Robert and Taylor is fantastic. The
judges again give a standing ovation, and even Travis is
blown away. Mary loves the routine and applauds how Taylor
"melted into every transition." Nigel tells the
duo that this is the best that they have danced.Solo: Koine

Koine's parents express how proud they are of
her. Koine's solo showcases her graceful
movements.Lex and All-Star Gaby
Tap
choreographed by Anthony Morigerato

Lex
recalls his decision to freestyle his audition and the
criticism of Lex not showing his personality enough once the
live shows started. His favorite routine is this tap
routine that recalls the era of Fred Astaire and Ginger
Rogers. It is delightful and garners a standing ovation from
the judges. Nigel loves it. Vanessa calls the duo
"magical
Solo:
Taylor


Taylor's parents state how proud they are of her and how
she inspires them. This solo is not very energetic and
appears lackluster compared to the other solos.Koine and Kiki
Contemporary
choreographed by Travis Wall

This
number details a love relationship from its first blush
until it fractures. This performance is emotional and
dramatic. I love it. Mary tells the duo that, with this
routine, they are peaking. Nigel calls Kiki
"brilliant" and tells Koine that she has employed
good acting skills in all her performances.Taylor and Lex
Contemporary
choreographed by Mia Michaels

This
routine is about a love affair, and apparently Taylor and
Lex won't have to employ their acting skills because
they are in a relationship. That is amazing! Their
performance is sweet and lovely. Cue the standing ovation!
Nigel compliment their "dive kiss" and the beauty
of the routine. Vanessa tells the couple that they will
always reflect on this routine and think of their
relationship.
