Tonight, after America’s vote was revealed on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, Makenzie Dustman, Jenna Johnson, Mariah Spears, Alan Bersten, “BluPrint” and Curtis Holland were the three girls and three guys who received the fewest votes. After deliberating, the judges – Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and guest judge Carly Rae Jepsen – sent Spears and “Bluprint” home at the end of the show.

Next week, on Tuesday, July 30 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), the competition returns when the Top 14 finalists: Makenzie Dustman and Paul Karmiryan; Hayley Erbert and Curtis Holland; Amy Yakima and “Fik-Shun”; Alexis Juliano and Nico Greetham; Jasmine Harper and Aaron Turner; Jenna Johnson and Tucker Knox; and Malece Miller and Alan Bersten – compete once again for America and the judges, including guest judge Anna Kendrick (“Pitch Perfect”).
