Last night, after America’s vote was revealed on So You Think You Can Dance, the judges– Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and guest judge Debbie Allen – sent Makenzie Dustman and Nico Greetham home at the end of the show.
Nigel revealed that there were 15 votes between the judges and choreographers. Where the boys were concerned, the result was unanimous. But the girls were split 9-6 for the person who stayed. Makenzie was Nigel’s favorite dancer, but he was outvoted.
Next week, Jenna Elfman (“1600 Penn,” “Damages”) joins the judges panel as the Top 8 finalists – Hayley Erbert, “Fik-Shun,” Jasmine Harper, Jenna Johnson, Paul Karmiryan, Tucker Knox, Aaron Turner and Amy Yakima – will be paired up with All-Star partners. But there will be a major twist! For the first time on SYTYCD, the All-Stars will be performing and choreographing the routines for their respective contestants.
The All-Stars include Stephen “tWitch” Boss (Season Four), Dmitry Chaplin (Season Two), Comfort Fedoke (Season Four), Courtney Galiano (Season Four), Chelsie Hightower (Season Four), Allison Holker (Season Two), Mark Kanemura (Season Four) and Travis Wall (Season Two).
That all star lineup looks incredible! Courtney, Mark and Travis! Whee! This season is full of fantastic dancers. What a great season.
