Welcome to our So You Think You Can Dance Season 4 Week 5 recaplet where in the course of two nights we were treated to some Alvin Ailey, some girl-on-girl song stylings courtesy of Katy Perry and her single "I Kissed a Girl" and one killer Bollywood number!

Can I just start by saying that you have to love a show that gives us a near flawless Bollywood routine. Joshua Allen and Katee Shean (pictured above) worked it out and I'm floored that middle America apparently loved this middle Eastern treat but I'm getting way ahead of myself. 

Let's start back on Wednesday night when the Top 12 performed two routines each - which I must say is tiring beyond belief.  Just sitting there on my couch watching these kids kill themselves with twelve routines was enough to make me pass out the minute the show was over.  It's like sympathy pains or something, after two hours I was spent.

Chelsie and Mark show Broadway's sultry side

My TV Boyfriend Mark Kanemura and Chelsie Hightower
First Dance: Salsa by Alex Da Silva  Kicking off the show with my new TV Boyfriend Mark and that cutie patootie Chelsie is as Martha Stewart would say, a good thing.  Both were smokin hot out there doing their salsa but there were some moments where they were anticipating each other and I hate being able to see that it's choreographed.  Pulling the curtain back to reveal how inorganic it really is ruins the fantasy for me.  Fashion wise, I think that everyone should have custom made pants because those suckers gave scrawny Mark the finest ass ... child!  The judges complained that Mark was too stiff and all I kept thinking was that's how I'd like my Mark...

Second Dance: Broadway by Tyce Diorio  I so wanted this girl power routine to be sexier and dirtier than it really was.  Chelsie should have been dominating that boy and at times she did but I wanted her to beat him down!  While there were moments of greatness, overall I felt a little let down.  Am I wrong?  Like Chelsie said, "That's a w-a-r-p"  Thank god she's beautiful and talented because based on her spelling ability I can't say she's Smarter Than a 5th Grader.

Comfort and Thayne try to step it up and ... well ... dance

Comfort Fedoke and Thayne Jasperson
First Dance: Hip-Hop by Napoleon and Tabitha  We've been waiting all season to see Comfort nail a hip-hop routine because that's her style and if this was what we waited for, I want my money back.  Comfort was solid but not hard enough to blow me away and sadly, I think this sealed the deal with wanting to send her home this week.  Thayne was a little too soft but did the best he could at butching it up (Nigel's term not mine) and riding comfort from one end of the stage to the other - wait what?  Cat called it "Hip-Hop Days of our Lives" and if that's the case, Comfort's breasts were performing their own telenovela in her yellow get up.

Second Dance: Contemporary by Mandy Moore  I'm so over Comfort and I feel bad.  She was slow, boring and sloppy which at times made it seem like Thayne was dancing by himself.  That can't be good.  My girl Mia Michaels called her out for faking it and she was so dead on.  This is the point in the competition where a dancer's lack of training really starts to hurt them and it's time for Comfort to go home. Sorry, girl.

Eight more dancers and the results show after the break!

How will we survive Thursdays without Ugly Betty?! Well, here are a few distractions to get you through.

The Asian Excellence Awards 2007 (E!) 6:00PM EDT
In a fitting tribute to Asian Pacific Heritage Month, E! broadcasts highlights from this year's awards and backstage coverage. Rex Lee (gay Lloyd on Entourage) won an award, as did bisexual gay-fave Margaret Cho, and out actor George Takei was on-hand to present.

So You Think You Can Dance? (Fox) 8:00PM EDT
Gay contestants likely, hilarity guaranteed. This extra-long premiere episode is an audition roundup, so set your phasers to "schadenfreude" and enjoy. And you can always stick around for more rubbernecking fun on On the Lot -- there are no gay contestants that we know of yet in the final 36, but one of my teachers from film school is still in the running (she's the one that had the pitch about the priest and the beautiful black drag queen -- atta girl!) and if she stays in the game, it'll be worth tuning in for -- trust me. Go Shira-Lee!
