SYTYCD announces format changes

According to this article, when So You Think You Can Dance begins airing its seventh season May 27, there will be quite a few noticeable changes. For one, only ten contestants will make it to the live performance shows. In turn, only one dancer will be eliminated each week. And the biggest twist, the new dancers will be paired with returning contestants, thus making it a sort of all-stars of dance competition. Since the announcement, I have been following Nigel Lythgoe on Twitter because he has been making announcements about the change. So far, former finalists who will be featured on the show include: season four finalist Twitch, season six finalist Kathryn and season three finalist Pasha. While at first I was a little confused about why they were doing this, I'm kind of warming to the idea. I'm going to like seeing some of my favorites dance again. I just hope it works out as nicely as I'm expecting. And, just to point out, May 27 is less than two months away! I can't wait.
