It was take-no-prisoners night on So You Think You Can Dance Wednesday.  The judges, led by Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe, were not pleased with the dancing, the solos and the attitudes, so they railed on the contestants for not performing at their best.

Teeny-tiny, Mollee Gray and oh-so-cute Nathan Trasoras were in the crosshairs and took the brunt of the criticism for not only doing a substandard job, but for also believing they could get by on personality.  Ultimately, they did and both were safe.  But, boy did they learn a harsh lesson from Lythgoe, who targeted Nathan in particular for being cavalier.

According to Lythgoe and judges Adam Shankman and Mary Murphy, they have huge shoes to fill from season five’s group of dancers.  Although our fav scream queen did cut Nathan some slack for his immaturity.
