"It's really great that they win in their own sexes," said Lythgoe.
And so, with the entire top 20 on hand, the season's final four – Cyrus Spencer, Chehon Wespi-Tschopp, Eliana Girard and Tiffany Maher – waited to learn who would take home the titles.

But there was no sighing for the panel of Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and guest judge Christina Applegate.

Tears were streaming during So You Think You Can Dance Wednesday – even before two more dancers were sent home.
The night turned emotional early on, when, with his Swiss parents in the audience for the first time, ballet dancer Cheyon Wespi-Tschopp took to the stage for his solo. "You have to remember these dancers are kids who have dreamed of doing this their whole life," guest judge Jesse Tyler Ferguson told PEOPLE after Wednesday’s show. "They grew up far away from L.A. and then are transplanted here. I think it is overwhelming for them."

Originally posted 08/23/2012 03:15PM
All-stars raised the So You Think You Can Dance finalists to a new level Wednesday, but two contestants still went home after a night of stellar performances.
"The all-stars could have taken all of the thunder and stolen all the light, but that wasn't the case," judge Mary Murphy told PEOPLE after the show. "We had a lot to celebrate tonight in the fact that [the contestants] held their own.”
But the celebrating came to an end when host Cat Deely announced the bottom two boys and bottom two girls: Witney Carson, 18, Audrey Case, 18, George Lawrence II, 19, and Cheyon Wespi-Tschopp, 23.
"It was a really tough call," Murphy said about having to choose which boy and girl to send home. And for the first time in season 9 the decision was not unanimous between the judges.

So You Think You Can Dance Pays Tribute to Mia Michaels

After a two-week hiatus during the London Olympics, the top 14 contestants on So You Think You Can Dance returned Wednesday – and four were sent home.
The episode featured some of the best routines choreographed by three-time Emmy winner Mia Michaels. "I was very honored. It was cool as an artist to be celebrated like that," Michaels told PEOPLE after the show. "It's the most amazing feeling ever. It is actually better than any gold Emmy statue."
But while some dancers soared with their recreations of past numbers, others couldn't recreate the magic of the original performances from seasons past.
"It was a slaughterhouse to be honest with you," Michaels said about the judges' critiques and comparisons. "Tonight just wasn't it and I was disappointed. But the dancers did the best they could."
