‘Dance’ dehydration drama!
-

The four “So You Think You Can Dance” finalists got an unexpected day off on Sunday, after two of the contestants were sent to the hospital for dehydration.
Judge Mary Murphy told People magazine that the two unnamed dancers collapsed during rehearsals on Saturday, and they were rushed by ambulance to nearby Cedars Sinai Hospital.
Murphy said that the other two (presumably healthy) dancers weren’t allowed to practice on Sunday, so the playing field would hopefully be level for tonight’s final performance show.
But will it?
FOX refused to give the identities of the ill dancers, so it’ll be interesting to see if the show acknowledges the situation tonight.
Previously, we’d been told about Comfort’s dislocated shoulder—but that was way back in the first week of the competition. The stakes are much higher now.
My guess is that lips will be sealed this time, because the producers won’t want to be accused of messing with the winning results: Viewers might give the sick dancers sympathy votes.
We’ll see what happens when the big event kicks off tonight at 8—and the winner is crowned on Thursday. Stay tuned!

The blogs are rumoring it was Twitch and Joshua. I hope it won’t affect tonight’s performance, because they’re my two favorites. Hopefully they get to do a hip hop for their routine tonight. I would love to see them do their thing together! I think its so cool that the hip hoppers with no real training made it into the finals. Go Joshua!
