We are live blogging So You Think You Can Dance 9 Top 6 for September 5, 2012. Two dancers get eliminated tonight!

Recap

Opening Number: Sonya Tayeh number!

The guest judge is: Christina Applegate

Reminder: The finale performance show will be on Tuesday next week.

The judges can't save anyone this week... it was up to the votes of the viewers last week on who will be eliminated later tonight.

Tiffany Maher and Benji Schwimmer

Jive to "What I Like About You" from choreographer Jean Marc. So glad to see Benji on SYTCD again! The cartwheels were crazy! I think Benji totally stole the number from Tiffany however. The judges and the audience gave them a standing O.

Witney Carson

Solo to "Malaguena."

Cole Horibe and Melanie Moore

Contemporary to "Too Close" choreographed by Sonya Tayeh. I loved this routine. Cole and Melanie "lifted" each other on every other move which was great. Melanie's lines however totally outshined Cole in my opinion.

Chehon Wespi-Tschopp

Solo to "Way Back Home."

Eliana Girard and Twitch Boss

Hip-Hop to "Please Mr. Postman" choreographed by Christopher Scott. I love the postman concept! It is my dream concept. Hahaha. I thought Eliana held her own, although it is really hard to outshine Twitch, specially in his element.

Tiffany Maher

Solo to "Just The Way You Are"

Chehon Wespi-Tschopp and Kathryn McCormick

Contemporary to choreographed by Tyce Diorio. The suitcase dance! This was very touching. So emotional! The leap to the suitcase was amazing. Great job all around from choreography to dancing. They got a standing O.

Cole Horibe

Solo to "Night of the Wolf". Oh, red eyes!

Witney Carson and Marko Germar

Lyrical Jazz to "No Nothing" choreographed by Ray Leeper. Marko cut his hair! Sigh. Marko and Witney are actually well-matched together. Marko has improved so much from the last time we saw him on the show.

Eliana Girard

Solo to "I Will Follow You Into the Dark"

Cyrus Glitch Spencer and Comfort Fedoke

Dubstep to "Cinema" choreographed by Christopher Scott. Comfort Fedoke! I love her. I love her name! The second half of this dance was so good when things started to pick up. I love the movie concept of trading places. Standing O from the audience and judges.

Chehon Wespi-Tschopp and Witney Carson

Cha Cha to "Where Have You Been" choreographed by Jean Marc. Witney was in her element here, but Chehon held on I thought. Mary was not happy with him though.

Cyrus Glitch Spencer

Solo to "Harem"

Cole Horibe and Eliana Girard

Contemporary to "Adagio for Stings" choreographed by Mia Michaels. A dance inspired by rams! (the animal). Lots of headbutting -- and great shapes from Mia. Very intense. A standing O from the audience and judges.

Cyrus Glitch Spencer and Tiffany Maher

Broadway to "Treat Me Rough" choreographed by Spencer Liff. Cyrus still needs a lot of training but his personality is great on this show. He gets away with so much! Christina wanted to throw pens through Cyrus' earholes.

Guest Dancers

The Axis Dance Company perform. I love this. One guy was in a wheelchair. So inspirational.
