And then there were two. The Bravo reality competition Step It Up & Dance is down to six dancers, two of which are gay, one of whom is totally annoying.

This week's competition is about improvisational modern dance, or as I like to call it, "making crap up". In a hilarious display of blatant product placement, the show starts with Miguel shouting "we got a message on our new Sidekick 3", which is helpfully subtitled in case anyone missed it, followed by a closeup on said Sidekick 3 with the words "T Mobile" prominently displayed. Subtle. The dancers are ordered out of the apartment, and wind up at a mattress store, where they meet Jacques Heim, the artistic director of Diavolo, who will serve as guest judge for this episode. Jacques choreographed for Cirque De Soleil in Vegas, and as soon as I heard that, I thought "ooh...I wonder if Celine's crazy rubbed off on him?". Happily, the answer is yes.

Jacque splits the six dancers into three teams, and the challenge is that each team is playing a couple who are in love and buying a mattress, and they have to use dance and improvisation to find the right one. The first "couple" is played by out dancer Miguel and hot asian chick Michelle, and they start jumping and rolling around on the mattresses, culminating in Miguel stripping to his underwear (and here I thought Kitty with her legs in the air on Brothers & Sisters would be the most scarring image of the week). The other out dancer Michael is paired with the tomboy Janelle, and they manage to be slightly less nauseating. Which brings us to the final couple, the straight guys Cody and Nick. When they came in and found out they were going to be playing a couple who have just fallen in love and are buying a mattress together, they both cringed ... and so did I. I was expecting lots of ensuing gay panic, and there was some, but I think they handled it a lot better than another pair of straight guys.

After the audition, they're split into two groups, and once again, Miguel is upset that he's in the same group as Michael. Each team must perform a modern dance routine on "apparatus", which turns out to be a giant staircase and a swinging sculpture of an atom. And yes, it's as bizarre as it sounds.

There's a twist in the judging this time, though, as the dancers learn that from now on, there is no "winning" and "elimination" group, and any of them could win the challenge, and any of them could be eliminated (except pretty boy Cody, who was given immunity last week).

Miguel was his usual charming self, and he's grown even more outspoken in his irrational fear of Michael:

"It's a joke that Michael is still here"

"I don't like him, and I don't trust him as a dancer"

And my personal favorite, when he's complaining to the other dancer in their group, Janelle, with Michael sitting about ten feet away:

"I wish it was just me and you. We could figure it out as a duet. It's like having two dolphins and then a pig. You gotta hide the pig somehow, in the water, and make him look like a dolphin. How do you expect me to look good? And here I am again, someone with talent, looking like I don't have talent, because I'm with idiots who don't know how to dance"

I do have to give Miguel a little credit, however. He turned around what was a disastrous run-through, and it's because of him that his group didn't totally flop. He ended runner up for the winner of the night (Cody won yet again), which means he'll be around to spread sunshine for at least another week.

Find out how our other gay dancer did, and find out who was eliminated after the break.

Michael was a big disappointment to me this week. He just sat there and let Miguel call him a "pig", when it's obvious he should have twirled him around by that rat's nest on top of his head. He was clearly out of his element this week, and ended up in the bottom two with Janelle. All good things must come to an end, and Michael was eliminated. He performed his final dance, and then left for his next appointment, with Corbin Fisher.

Guess what? That means that the last remaining gay dancer is ...Miguel. On the bright side, next week's episode promises a major meltdown from him, so maybe all hope is not lost.
