FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance" wraps up its ninth season on Tuesday (September 18) night with a pair of winners.
Either Cyrus or Chehon will be named America's Favorite Male Dancer and either Tiffany or Eliana will be crowned as America's Favorite Female Dancer.
Last Monday, I sat down with excitable "So You Think You Can Dance" judge Mary Murphy to discuss the season and the Final 4.
Our conversation came before last Tuesday night's performance episode and Nigel Lythgoe's controversial decision to publicly tell Cyrus that he wouldn't be voting for him due to his relative lack of formal proficiency when compared to Chehon.
In the interview, Murphy and I talk extensively about the difference between "favorite" and "best" dancer and she explains her own perspective on what Cyrus has achieved this season.

September 18, 2012 at 8:22PM EST Reply to CommentWhat this didn't address, and what so many people have turned on Cyrus over, is the way the show has propped him up and protected him EVERY week.
- We've seen group routines where he was either pushed into a corner and just asked to stand in the middle of the stage and make faces while everyone dance around him.
- He's been given cake choreography as much as possible. On Mia Michaels' tribute week, he was given the least demanding role of any of the dances done. When have we seen him try do intricate ballroom?
- Last week, when people should be showing how much they've grown and deserve to be in the finale, they hand him HIS OWN STYLE with TWITCH! If that's not favortism, what is?
