As ridiculous as most contest-based reality TV shows are, we all like to their that there's at least a modicum of fairness at play. According to People magazine, however, there may have been some foul play afoot during the final round judging for the hit series So You Think You Can Dance?. According to one of the judges, it seems that "the best dancer didn't win." Check it out:
"I think Sabra winning is good for America," Lythgoe told People after last night's live broadcast of the Fox reality show's finale. "[But] in my opinion [runner-up] Danny [Tidwell] was far and away the best."
"Sabra, with only dancing for four years is so inspirational to kids that want to begin dancing," Lythgoe continued. "Sabra just showed she can win a major competition like this after only four years!"
"inspirational"?? "Kids"?? Sounds suspicious to us....
