So You Think You Can Dance Top 11: Who Won the Non-Competition Round?

Last night So You Think You Can Dance treated us to a nonthreatening exhibition round. The competitors weren't competing -- they were simply introducing themselves in cute choreographed numbers for the weeks to come. Totes cute. It's like in the '90s when the USA Network used to broadcast women's exhibition tennis, and the point of watching was how attractive they were. "Gabriela Sabatini Vs. Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario! HOT and LIVE and in Dayton." But what would a recap of SYTYCD be without a declared winner? We've picked the best performance from the night, one with sly wit and a genius costume change.

The competition's sole b-boy Jose Ruiz worked it out last night with a hoodie-stripping, floor-throttling routine. He was joined by past-season all-stars Dominic, Twitch, and Comfort, but the choreography allowed him to stand out among the legends rather ingeniously. In fact, the other routines of the night failed to showcase the newbies' talents enough. It was hard to tell who the newcomers even were some of the time -- which is good news for them and bad news for the perplexed home audience.
