They had professional dancers in the first season I think.

I guess depends on what is considered professional. Twitch and Katee teach dance and Twitch was in Hairspray, right?

I guess I'm not sure what they consider professional but I remember talking to a young lady from our area who had just graduated from Columbia University in Chicago with a dance major(happens to be a freind of a friend)and I told her she should audition because she is such a talented dancer. She said that she had looked into it but because she was dancing with a professional dance company she wouldn't be eligible...maybe it was more to do with the rules of the dance company though? My point with this though was that perhaps Katie just felt like she had put part of her life on hold waiting to get on the show and if she didn't make it this year she likely would just move on with other pursuits...I can't say that I totally blame her. SYTYCD is one avenue for dancers but it's not the only avenue out there...

Maybe it's similar to AI, where if they aren't currently under contract somewhere, they can audition? What's gonna be really ODD this week... I dunno about elsewhere but locally the Fox and CW networks have switched. So Fox programming will now air on CW or something weird. Thank heavens for digital cable programming guides... I can just flip till I see what I need to record. Of course, any of those "always record new on this channel" settings are now hosed!

Costacat, who's your provider? We have DISH. I havne't heard anything about that. Sounds like a pain. Several years back, the ABC and CBS affiliates here in Sacramento swapped networks. It was very confusing for a long time!

No, I think it's local to San Diego. I have Cox Communications, and the switch occurred Aug 1. So y'all are probably OK. Fox TV here in San Diego was, I think, airing from antennas south of the border. Or something... can't remember why they did it. Looks like they just completely switched -- everything that aired on Fox 6 is now airing on channel 5. And CW on 5 is now on chnnel 6.

A pair of So You Think You Can Dance finalists reportedly took the expression "dance 'til you drop" a little too literally. Two of So You Think You Can Dance's Top 4 fourth-season finalists reportedly collapsed during Saturday rehearsals and were subsequently rushed to nearby Cedars Sinai Hospital, People reported Monday. "The kids are completely dehydrated -- two of them," So You Think You Can Dance judge Mary Murphy told People. "I'm sure they're doing a lot of blood work to see if there's anything else." Stephen "Twitch" Boss, Katee Shean, Courtney Galiano and Joshua Allen comprise So You Think You Can Dance's Top 4, however People reported Fox representatives declined comment and did not release the identities of which two were hospitalized. The two hospitalized dancers have since been released, a source close to the show told People. Out of fairness for the finalists, Murphy explained that there were "no more rehearsals" on Saturday after the hospitalization and added "all rehearsals were called off" on Sunday. "The other two [dancers] could not rehearse as well, and so hopefully everybody is going to be in the same boat," Murphy told People. "Hopefully everybody will be refreshed by having a full day off." In addition, Murphy said the Top 4 finalists have been rehearsing 10 to 12 hours a day in anticipation of So You Think You Can Dance's two-night fourth-season finale. "They want it so bad," Murphy told People. "So they keep pushing themselves and pushing themselves and not letting anybody know that, 'Hey, I'm running on empty,' and then it catches up on them and then they collapse."

No confirmation on who the 2 were. The filming is running later than normal tonight. So, no additional spoilers until tomorrow. The Thursday finale show is supposed to include dancers from previous seasons. The only ones I know for sure are Neil and Lauren. The Jonas Brothers will be performing. Part of Thursday's finale will be taped, as opposed to live. I suspect that some of the dances will be taped. There's something about Mary and Nigel performing, but it's probably something weird like Nigel and Cat's a couple of years ago.

Actually, there's been a taped part of every Thursday night live show. LOL It's usually just the opening act, and Cat's first lead in, the musical performances sometimes, and sometimes the dancing performances that AREN'T the SYTYCD dancers.

Mary and Nigel will probably do something like a waltz if they are actually live dancing (as opposed to the cartoon). I think it would be hilarious if they did a Tab/Nap hip-hop about love-hate relationships.

Finale Spoiler's from another site - So You Think You Can Dance winds down this week and at last night’s taping of the Finale performance episode, it looks like things went a little different than they normally do.

The larger Dimitri question is .... shirt on? shirt off? Maybe the Russian Street Dancing is like Hip-hop with some russian moves. Twitch and Josh are supposed to do really well on it.

Will Will (sorry, that just came out like that) perform with Debbie Allen's troupe? I wouldn't put it past the producers to deliberately feature him in something since they can't do it with this season's cast since he didn't make it to last week.

Just read on TMZ.com that Nigel has opted out as exec producer of AI. He wants to devote more time to SYTYCD. Makes sense. I think he has more love for dance than for singing.

NOt sure if anyone's mentioned it, but I saw an IKEA commercial yesterday evening with the young man who can move his body in all kinds of flexible ways, (his audition piece was on Youtube)... I think his name is Justin or something like that... I have no idea, I only watch this show once in a while and don't even know if he's been eliminated although I guess he must have been if he's doing commercials. Anyhow, it's a fun commercial and he's terrific in it. There's a gal in it too, don't know if she's from this show... shrug.
