With all the rumors and speculation going around about how the heck SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE’s ninth season will work now that Fox has trimmed the show’s airtime to one night a week, judge/executive producer Nigel Lythgoe cleared up how the new season will work during a conference call on Friday.
“The first week of [the live shows], nobody will be going home from the top 18 or 20, whatever we’re doing — we still haven’t decided yet to be honest with you,” Lythgoe told reporters. “And that will include a group number and all of their solos, the first week of the live shows and then America will vote.”
And yes, the rumors are true, there will be two winners of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE this season, which will add a whole new layer to voting this season.

No matter how or when a show ends, there’s often an additional importance placed by viewers on that final installment. And when I spoke with HOUSE creator David Shore, he expressed some discomfort over the emphasis that gets placed on how a show closes out its run versus the merits of the series as a whole. (To be fair, when you title the final hour of your series “Everybody Dies,” expectations are understandably built-in.)
Take a look at what he had to say about the pressures placed on series finales, when he decided how HOUSE was going to end, and more…
