So You Think You Can Dance executive producer, Nigel Lythgoe, listened to…well EVERYBODY, and will move the judges elimination to the end of the show:
In other words, the bottom 3 girls and guys will be revealed at the beginning of the show and will dance for their lives. The couples will take the stage to perform before the judges decide which girl and which boy to eliminate at the end of the broadcast.
Thanks for listening, Nigel. Saving the eliminations for the end of the show is not only less cruel, but fairer to everybody left in the competition.
