"The Finale (or 'Bottom of the 9th, 2 Outs and the Bases Are Loaded')" - October 5

It's the season finale of So You Think You Can Dance. Ashle Dawson, Melody Lacayanga, Nick Lazzarini and Jamile McGee are vying for $100,000 in cash, A 1-yr. stay in a NYC apartment and priceless exposure.

We start out by showing you highlights of what happened last week. Then, the 4 dancers introduced Alex Da Silva performing a mambo with a female dancer. That had to be the case when Lauren Sanchez, our host, wore an appropiate dress for the routine. They both did a little swerving and Alex did a romantic move with Lauren's arm. They both did some arm & torso turns, and Lauren did a 1/2 bend while Alex showed off his solo prowess and used magic to rise him up. Lauren, however, finshed the song with a split and some leg work to end it. Boy, she's feeling a bit tired, but we must move on. We go now to a video from Nashville, TN. (Go Titans!) where we find the Gaylord Opryland Resort dance to Nancy Sinatra's "Boots" (Which by the way, is covered recently by Jessica Simpson) complete with hotel bellhops, desk clerks, chefs, beds, and of course, cowboy dancing.

We go back now LIVE to Los Angeles, where we get moments of dancers where some were good and others were not good. We've seen 1 jiggly dancer in Chi-town, and some belly dancers in New York, but we get a dancer who argued with Nigel for being masculine. Anthony Bryant is here to take the stage doing a lyrical routine. He used a ribbon, tossed it up past the lights and back down to his hand. He tossed it out, but did some leg spins and artistic showmanship. Nigel said nothing and waved his little ribbon, but Anthony gave him and the crowd thanks for coming back to the show.

The Final 4 will now take the stage for their best perfomances starting with Nick. Nick always had to pick Kamilah most of the way, but perfected 9 styles with 4 partners. Tonight, he'll reunite with Kamilah to do a Disco routine to "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" by Sylvester. Throughout the routine, They did some body spins, with Kamilah doing a floor spin, windmill moves and an upside-down hang to end the song. For last words, Brian said Nick set a goal to win this thing, Mia said Nick shown America that he is slick, Nigel said he's a great technician, Mary said he's personality & technique into 1 package and Dan said he's proven that he can do anything. But anything is possible as we head for our next dancer.

Ashle has picked Jamile 2 times, and Blake for much of the competition, but she pulled out 11 styles in total. Ashle will now reunite with Blake to do "Jazz Machine" by Black Machine. Both did some arm pumps, great samba work and a floor spin by Ashle for some gravity. Now to the judges. Brian said Ashle never let us down, Mia said Ashle has matured as a woman, Nigel said her "X-factor" was missing, Mary said she's sophisticated & elegant, and Dan said she's the hardest worker on this show. Ashle works hard whether solo or with a partner, but we gotta break for the next segment.

Taking 4th place....with 8.8%...and is out of the contest....Ashle Dawson! She get some roses...aww....and a tribute video to go with that. Now we go to our next dancer.

Jamile is up next. A hip-hopper who's known for his amazing solos, was partnered differently 7 times. Most of them were ballroom. He survived the solo round only 4 times and outlasted the competition. This week, he'll dance with his famous partner, Destini Rogers for a hip-hop routine. "Toma" by Pitbull feat. Ying Yang Twinz is cued up and they danced well. Jamile did a dog-like pose to begin, but Destini did some moves with a butt shake and a split shake to wow the crowd. On to the judges: Brian said he totally brought it, Mia said he is the mack daddy of style, Nigel said he's's got performance, personality & popularity, Mary said he's the new poster child for ballroom, and Dan said he's just as good. But was he good enough to win the title?

Melody will round it out. She's been with Blake, danced with Allan, and cut a rug with Ryan, Craig, and even Nick. She perfected disco for some time, and now she'll do Broadway with Blake. The song is "All That Jazz" by Ute Lemper, and throughout, they did head spins and arm pumps between the lyrics, and Melody showed off her broadway prowess. For last words, Brian said she was born a superstar, and Mia said she's got fire & talent. The rest chimed in their comments as well. Melody can be the clear winner, but the other 3 might wanna win this thing.

They're a hip-hop bunch called the "Groovaloos." Why are they here, you ask? Well, you'll see. They're a bunch of breakdancers who can do tricks with their own hats, and they're doing it as they took the stage. 1 rapper came in for his solo, and then they did poppin' & lockin, and some leg work all in unison. I might one day see them, but I wanna see who the winner was.

3 dancers left, who's next to go?....taking a bronze medal....with 24.9%...and is gone for good...Jamile McGee! He gets a bouqet of flowers, and a tribute video as he takes a spacewalk home.

Our next segment is like a fairy tale, you see....Once upon a time, FOX asked dancers if they could be on a reality show, and they said yes in LA, NYC and Chicago. Some made it in, others didn't, and after that, the top 50 was formed, and survived the Hollywood round with bailouts, bruises and being in the top 24. After that, they survived the fate and only 16 became sweet, while the rest got sour. The Sweet 16 took on all comers, whether solo or with a partner. One by one, lyrical people, tap dancers, hip-hoppers and ballroom people perfected every floor spin, leg lift, leg spins and everything else until 4 were left. Now let's see who living "happily ever after" in NYC.

Before we reveal the winner, we get a video revealing that they're best friends, (remember the LA auditions episode?), made the sweet 16. Both did dance each other whether Broadway, Disco or Lyrical. (If this were BB6, that might be a different story.) Now, let's see who won.

The silver medal recipient had 28.6%...while the gold medal recipient had 37.7%....who broke the tape on the FINISH LINE?....the dancer....that has the moves....is going to be....none other....than...this season's champion.....................................Nick Lazzarini! Congrats go out to Nick and as for Melody, don't worry, she gets the silver medal for being on the show. Nick takes a victory dance doing "Pardon Me" by Incubus. He did leg spins, twists and a few jumps to finally answer the question FOX gave: "So You Think You Can Dance?" As we end it, confetti is shot up all over the stage and the other 15 dancers come to congratulate him. So, remember, the next time you're at a birthday party and you yell to the crowd..."Look what I can do!"...you might be the lucky one to answer the question: So You Think You Can Dance? I'm Pierre Kelly for GSNN saying goodnight, friends.
