When So You Think You Can Dance returns for a new season on FOX this spring, there’ll be at least one major new rule in place that will change how contestants are eliminated.
Executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe took to his Twitter page Thursday to reveal that from now on just one dancer will be booted from the show every week, rather than the usual two. The previous format for the show saw one male and one female dancer being voted off each week.
No more, say Lythgoe, who wrote: “First rule change. Only one dancer will leave the competition each week and not two.Many more changes to come by the end of this week.”
So You Think You Can Dance Season 7 will premiere on FOX May 27.
