Rather, it was the Top 17 since animator Jade Zuberi had to withdraw from the competition due to a injury. Since he was out that saved the two other bottom boy dancers. Yet, one lady still had to go home and it ended up being Jasmine Mason. Then, once again, the format was changed. At the top of the show, the bottom six dancers were announced and the judges deliberated their elimination before the dancers performed.

It all comes down to this final night of performances with commentary by resident judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murhphy with guest judge Rob Marshall. There is also a unique and amazing guest performance by one-legged b-boy Jean Sok from France! Who would they like to see win and what are their plans for the future? But before the official winners are announced, the remaining four dancers still have one more week to impress the judges and, more importantly, the viewers.

Resident judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy, along with guest judge Christina Applegate, are on hand to help guide America in choosing its favorite male and female dancer. This week, the remaining contestants dance three times, including a solo and two duets.

As we near the end, the stakes and emotions are high; now is the time for the dancers to give it everything they have. This week, each dancer performs a duet with an all-star as well as a solo.

We also get a glimpse into their training and upbringing through brief video montages, filled with old photos and home videos. After a Mia-Michaels-focused SYTYCD extravaganza, the competition continues with another week of new routines, new partnerships, guest judges, and special performances. The Top 10 dancers perform in Week 5 of the competition and the pressure is on to win the favor of the viewers.

After a two-week hiatus, So You Think You Can Dance returns to Wednesday nights with a special evening devoted entirely to the choreographic work of three-time Emmy Award-winner Mia Michaels, showcasing her best routines from the past eight seasons. So You Think You Can Dance returns to its regularly scheduled time with new routines, new partnerships and new guest judges this week with the Top 14 contestants.

A new week means a new batch of routines in which the dancers push through their post-rehearsal fatigue and muscle pains to prove to America that they have what it takes to make it to the end of the competition.

The first competitive week of So You Think You Can Dance Season 9 hit the ground running with an eye-catching group routine and a Top 20 that laid it all out on the dance floor. As always, the emotions were high. For many, the news was heartbreaking. But, for ten guys and ten girls, this was just the beginning of their journey.

Dance Informa knows who the Top 20 dancers are Would she have auditioned for the show back in her prime? What's her favorite dance style to judge? Has she seen any great talent so far this new season? Watch her video interview with Dance Informa to find out He talks about the new format for the show, celebrity judges, his favorite dance styles and whether or not he would have auditioned for SYTYCD back in his prime.

Some hopefuls shared that they had waited since 6pm the night before to secure a place at the front of the line! Nigel has warned viewers about the Season Nine changes ahead of the beginning of auditions this weekend in Atlanta. But how will they run the season without a results show? The award is in recognition of his work as a reality show innovator and for his deep commitment to dance around the world. And luggage she will need as the Top 10 dancers get ready for their 32 city tour starting in September.

Tonight the season 8 winner will be revealed! Just why was perhaps the most talented, beloved, feared and respected judges and choreographers leaving the show? What went into the decision to make the announcement the way you did? No, nobody tried to talk me out of it. It was a hard decision, actually, because I love doing the show. I love being an artist that millions of people get to see my work. I knew in that moment and we had not even talked about contracts or anything for the new season yet, so I was just ready to move while I had all this other opportunities in front of me.

Before I got into the season with the dancers — you know actually getting into a room and creating on them — I just thought it was best for me to step out before I did that. What new experiences are you talking about and what are about to start working on? This isn't "Dancing With The Stars" where B-list celebrities try desperately to adhere to simple foxtrots and tangos- we get treated to everything from African Jazz to incredibly challenging contemporary pieces choreographed and danced by some of the best in the country.

It's culture, folks. Don't think that it gets bogged down in pretentiousness, though. This show is, above all, fun. Everyone involved seems to be having a ball.

The kids enjoy strutting their stuff, the choreographers love the exposure, and the judges genuinely seem to care for the kids. They also give advice that actually has to do with dancing! Not only do they seem to enjoy each other's company, there's a guest judge each week to keep the chemistry fresh.

Nigel Lythgoe is such an advocate of dance and Mary Murphy, the lost Osmond, is so infectiously perky that it's impossible not to have fun along with them. Host Cat Deely is also such a fashionista half the reason to tune in each week is just to see what she's wearing. The audience enjoys it all as well- I guarantee that at least once per week you will get goosebumps from one of the numbers- and who doesn't love that? This isn't a show that encourages a backlash like what inspired the American Idol's "Vote For the Worst" campaign.

Those of us who watch it vote for the best dancer, not just the prettiest face or the largest personality. Yes, in earlier rounds, even up to some of the final shows, a personality will get a contestant far. But unless they back that up with actual talent and effort they won't win. And that's what makes this reality show more real than most, and a real treat to watch. Details Edit.
