Finalists Ryan Ramirez, 19, a Contemporary dancer from Morgan Hill, CA; and Alexander Fost, 21, a Contemporary dancer from Alhambra, CA, were eliminated tonight on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE.

 

The three couples who received the fewest votes tonight were: Caitlynn Lawson and Mitchell Kelly; Ryan Ramirez and Ricky Jaime; and Sasha Mallory and Alexander Fost. Judges Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy, along with guest judges Sonya Tayeh and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, asked the six finalists to perform solo routines and then eliminated Ramirez and Fost.

 

In addition to the sensational performances on this week’s results show, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE celebrated eight Primetime Emmy Award nominations today, including two firsts: Outstanding Reality-Competition Series and Outstanding Host for Reality or Reality-Competition Series for Cat Deeley.
