On Tuesday night's second SYTYCD elimination show Alistor Adams and Tanya Stricker had their dreams of becoming Mzansi’s top dancer smashed when the judges decided they hadn't sufficiently mastered various dance forms to remain in the competition. Alistor, a 19-year-old ‘Pop ‘n Lock’ expert from Cape Town and Tanya, a 24-year-old dancer from Pretoria found themselves voted into the bottom three couples for their Saturday performance of the Tango - the same dance that sank Kristin and KG last week. Also in this weeks bottom three with the fewest votes were couples Taekwondo and Lee; and Blaze and Marise. The sixsome danced for their lives with their solo numbers and following feedback from the judges Tanya and Alistor were eliminated. Lead judge Harold van Buuren was frank in explaining why he and his fellow judges - David Matemela and Debbie Rakusin - believed the end had come for the two. “You are phenomenal in your genre but you are always the same,” was Van Buuren’s comment to Alistor. He went on to say that Tanya's solo performance on Tuesday’s show was “better than last week because you are a professional and you strive for perfection .... but the fact that you cannot access different genres works against you.” Now the attention turns back to the remaining 16 dancers who need to win over the viewing public with their performances on this upcoming Saturday's show (20 September). As a result of his illness Blaze won't be dancing the show. Marise will dance the Samba with a choreographer's assistant and should Blaze be well enough to dance next Tuesday (23 Sept.) he'll automatically go into the bottom 3 to dance for his life.
