2010-08-02 / TV Squad
In this first double elimination of this season's 'So You Think You Can Dance', self-trained B-boy Jose Ruiz and classically-schooled contemporary dancer Billy Bell were sent home. Neither seemed particularly shocked: Ruiz told us he was proud of how far he'd gotten while Bell said he'd "gotten used to being in the bottom." Bell...Maybe it's because I felt like I accomplished all I needed to accomplish already on the show. It was my time to go and I accepted it and rejoiced in it. In just two weeks I'll be back for the finale and then a week after that, we start rehearsal for tour. It's not over,...

2010-07-30 / BuzzSugar -- Entertainment hourly.
Because of all the injury craziness over the past few weeks, two contestants were eliminated from So You Think You Can Dance: Billy and Jose. It made sense to even out the numbers since no one went home last week, but I was sad to see Billy go. I think it was definitely Jose's time, however. Did you agree .... I didn't want Billy to leave! He's brilliant! It should have been Jose and either Robert or Ade'. I'm just bummed he's not going to be in the finals. =( First, Amber.. what season are you watching? Ade is from another season and is just on here as an all star. Second, I hate that people ...
