The winner, along with a decent size hunk of cash (or more likely a direct deposit of some sort), will also be the new feature athlete for Gatorade in the G-series Fit campaign along with Twitch and last year’s winner, Lauren Froderman.
On the panel of judges tonight: Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy, Jesse Tyler Ferguson (!!!), Sonya Tayeh, Tyce DiOrio, Robin Antin and Lil’ C.
Why so many? Because tonight is essentially 1 hour 45 minutes of filler and 15 minutes of saying good bye to two of the final four, then doing a highlight reel of the final two and announcing the winner followed by confetti cannons and balloons. So how do they fill that 1 hour 45 minutes? The judges choose their favorite routines from the season which are performed again! Essentially… it’s the tour! Also a lot of montages of the past season, and who doesn’t love a good montage?
But first, time for the Top 20 to perform one last routine together. This number is choreographed by Sonya Tayeh. It was crazy. And not just because the girls were sporting some insanely large hair. I think it did a nice job of showcasing just how talented this group was. Cat comment described it nicely, “Gosh, you’re weird. In a fabulous way.” Sums up Sonya, doesn’t it?
