Will Alex Wong Appear on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Season 8? Nigel Lythgoe Weighs In
June 22, 2011 by Marisa Roffman
When fan-favorite Alex Wong had to drop out of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE last season due to a freak injury, viewers were stunned. After all, many considered him the frontrunner, especially after his incredible hip hop routine with tWitch. Since that time, Wong had surgery and has been on the road to recovery.
But will he be returning to SYTYCD this season?

Upon Wong’s exit in season 7, executive producer/judge Nigel Lythgoe told him he’d be welcome back to the show this year if he was up for it, but there’s been no word on whether he’d appear.
I caught up with Lythgoe after last week’s non-elimination show and he gamely gave Give Me My Remote an update on Wong’s status with the show…
