Two dancers go home and there’s a Mad Woman on Fear Itself.
It was a glorious full night of “So You Think You Can Dance” but I also managed to sneak in a session with “Shear Genius.” Tabatha was back, as a judge this time, and the stylists had to work on the “Real Housewives of Orange County.” Now that’s cross-promotion at its best.
