No Season 6 tour?
Our friends at SYTYCDism.com are reporting that there is no Season 6 tour in the works. They’re not saying much else, and that means STYTCD producers are being closed-mouth about it for now.
There is NO CONFIRMED report about tour or no tour.
Exec. Producer Nigel Lythgoe is quiet on twitter (@dizzyfeet), although he wants fans to vote for SYTYCD on the People’s Choice Awards web site.
Twitter friends of SYTYCD are NOT HAPPY with the news (search for SYTYCD and read for yourself), complaining about the rushed season and the disappointment for the dancers.
I don’t know if a petition is in the works. Keep checking here and at SYTYCDism.

Russell Ferguson, krumper, is America’s Favorite Dancer
“So You Think You Can Dance” fans called in and crowned Russell Ferguson winner of season 6. Jakob Karr was runner up, and two women, Ellenore and Kathryn, made the top four.
The two-hour show brought back dancers from the top 20 in season six for several performances, and four musical acts: Leona Lewis, who sang the theme to “Avatar,” Mary J. Blige; Adam Lambert and J.Lo herself, Jennifer Lopez in her titular shoes, Louboutins.
Lisa Potts and I do our usual dish, for the last time this season!

So You Think You Can Dance Finale! UPDATE — Russell wins!
Russell (center) won the show, with Jakob (far right) as the runner up.
What a show! Adam Lambert! Leona Lewis! Mary J. Blige! Jennifer Lopez!
Oh yeah, there were some dancers, too. And the winner is … RUSSELL! Jakob came in second.
Whether or not you think Russell is the best dancer, he is now crowned America’s Favorite Dancer. And as a Krumper, he makes dance show history.
He told US Weekly what he would do with this $250,000 and what his plans are.
Jakob had given amazing performances all season, and I would have been happy for him to win.
And now, I turn it over to my co-host, Lisa Potts …
“I’m a little dissappointed that Jakob didn’t win but yet … Russell was incredible all season and to have a krumper win the show is great. He is a great representative for the show. Jakob will have an amazing career without winning the show.”
I agree, Lisa. We also agree that it was wonderful for Ellenore and Kathryn made the top four. And, it was fitting that married couple Ashleigh and Ryan were eliminated one after the other, 5 and 6. But luckily AFTER we got to see them perform together with a very cool jive.
Lisa and I will dish more about the show Thursday. Check out the podcast here at NewsOK.com.

Whom did you vote for? Jakob, Russell, Ashleigh?
I admit that I voted for Ellenore 12 times. Still, that is no grand feat compared to other fans who voted hundred times and over for their favorite dancer.
Tonight, we find out who will be the winner of season six.
Your podcast co-hosts, Lisa Potts and I, will watch the show tonight at a watch party and we’ll blog about it tonight. Then, tomorrow, we’ll dish the results and the gossip on the podcast here.
I won’t be disappointed. There are some amazing and talented dancers in the finale, and I’d be happy for any of them to win.
Other SYTYCD fan sites such as Buddy TV and SYTYCDism will provide instant commentary after the show.

‘So You Think You Can Dance’: Final six
America got it right this week: Mollee and Legacy went home. I’m a Legacy fan, and I would have been just as satisfied if Ryan was eliminated. But there are so many other fine dancers, and someone had to go. Mollee, on the other hand, was way past elimination time. I agree with the judges that Broadway style really suits her, but if she stayed, she would have been in the way of another MORE talented female dancer.
So, the final six are: Russell, Jakob, Ellenore, Ashleigh, Kathryn and Ryan. I’d be happy for nearly all of them to come out on top.
Lisa Potts and I have our own opinions about who should, and will win, and we express them on today’s podcast. Take a listen.
SYTYCD: The podcast!
Lisa Potts and I dish up the latest from “So You Think You Can Dance.”
SYTYCD: Nathan and Noelle eliminated
I won’t say I told you so (see here) but Nathan Trasoras and Noelle Marsh were sent home Wednesday night.
We’re down to the Top 8 dancers, but we only have two more weeks: The finale will have SIX dancers. Listen to the podcast, which will post soon.
Until then, enjoy this performance from LXD — the League of Extraordinary Dancers.
SYTYCD: Nigel vs. Nathan
OK, now this could be me, but does it seem that Nigel Lythgoe, the executive producer of “So You Think You Can Dance” is being tough on top 10 dancer Nathan Trasoras? After both dances — the Broadway and the Rhumba — Nigel didn’t seem to provide uplifting commentary, as he does for other dancers. Instead, he was cold and critical. Not that I don’t agree with the technical advice, but it’s clear that Nathan no longer is his pet project.
Instead of technical correction, someone needs to give that boy some tips on presentation. His face is a tragic playground: happy, angry, sad.
Standouts from Tuesday night: Jakob and Ellenore — the new dream team! — Russell and Mollee (though I’m no Mollee fan) and Ryan and Noelle. Tonight, one boy and one girl are eliminated. We’ll dish on the podcast Thursday. Tune in tomorrow!
BuddyTV is so obssessed with “So You Think You Can Dance” that it put the show into both its Best and Worst Shows of ‘09.
Check it out for yourself, but suffice it to say, Season 6 is not on BuddyTV’s favorite list. Watch it tonight and the results show Wednesday. We’ll blog and link to our podcast Thursday.
Karen and Victor go home — another mistake?
This week’s photo says it all. In the weekly “DOH!” that is the “So You Think You Can Dance” results show, another talented pair went home. Karen Hauer and Victor Smalley were eliminated just shy of making the Top 10 dancers, which means they would go on tour after the show ends. Instead, the pair miss that opportunity.
In the bottom three this week were Karen and Victor, Ryan and Ellenore (upset!) and Nathan and Mollee (no surprise there). The judges unanimously agreed to drop Karen over Mollee, and Victor over Nathan. The season’s supposed fan favorites, Nathan and Mollee have been in the bottom three many times. Some fans suggest that they would have been the ones to go home. However, as judge Nigel Lythgoe pointed out, Karen didn’t dance for her life and may have been resigned to go home this week. Still, I would have danced my patootie off to make the top 10!
Politics? Would the tour be more successful keeping Nathan and Mollee? Perhaps. No podcast this week because of the Thanksgiving holiday, but we’ll be back next Thursday.
Zap2it posted some great backstage interviews with the judges. Take a look.

SYTYCD: Channing and Kevin eliminated
Channing and Kevin got the boot this week, and the judges were unanimous in their decision. But many viewers on Twitter have complained the Channing should NOT have been picked to leave over Latin dancer Karen. Listen to the podcast!
