'So You Think You Can Dance' Results July 9

Two more dancers got the axe on 'So You Think You Can Dance,' narrowly missing a coveted spot in the Top 10.

But Caitlin Kinney and Phillip Chbeeb got some good news from head judge Nigel Lythgoe -- despite missing the cut, they'll still go on tour this summer with the Top 10.

Next week, all contestants will get new partners, including Caitlin and Phillip's, Jason Glover and Jeanine Mason.

The other couple in danger, for the first time, were Melissa Sandvig and Ade Obayomi.

Also on the results show:
• Top 12 group dance: Hip-hop number choreographed by Napoleon and Tabitha to 'Seven Nation Army' by the White Stripes
• Musical guest: Kelly Rowland, 'When Love Takes Over'

Caitlin and Phillip spoke to reporters earlier today. Here are a few highlights ...

Caitlin, on the judges questioning her chemistry with Jason ...
I don't know what the deal was with that. At some point you're like oh my God, we're putting our heart and soul into this. We're in it together, we're doing it together, and you can only do so much. They either see it or they don't ... But I think Jason and I are great friends. I just had a wonderful time working with him. We got along so well. I wouldn't have had any other partner.

Caitlin, on what Jason said to her after the show ...
I think one thing that we both said to each other was just thank you, thank you for being there, because we were. We each had our moments of being down and, you know, the other one would pick each other up.

Caitlin, on being in the bottom three multiple times ...
I felt so blessed every week even to be there. Every week -- you can ask anyone -- I'd be like "All right guys. It's my last week." Not that I was pessimistic. But for me, getting that confidence that a lot of these contestants have has been my struggle. I think some of the best advice that I got on the show was never doubt yourself. Always question yourself, but never doubt yourself ... I loved every second of being on that show. Bottom three, not bottom three, whatever. I got to dance more.



Phillip, on his emotional goodbye speech.
You're never really prepared to get cut, so always it's kind of a shock. You're standing there and all of the sudden the microphone's up to your face and you have to say those final words before you're off the stage. I think really I just went down to the basis of why I wanted to be on the show in the first place and that was purely to prove that there's so many people that aren't given the same opportunities as others, and I really wanted to show that you could find something within that can really take you places. You don't necessarily need to have the money or know the right people or all those things. Sometimes if you just find the talent that's within, or the passion that's within you, then you can make things happen.

Phillip, on dealing with last night's good news (he'll be on the tour) and bad news (his elimination) ...
You don't know whether to be happy or sad. But at the same time, I definitely can guarantee this is one of the best seasons this show has ever had ... So just to be a part of the same group, and still kind of have my own place that I feel like is my own in the top 20 has been amazing. If it's my time to go, it's my time to go, and the fact that I'm on tour makes it all worth it.
