This was the big one tonight, wrapping up the "So You Think You Can Dance" season. And the winners are ...

As the final three dancers had their last chance to impress voters, "So You Think You Can Dance" reminded us of a remarkable moment, early on. There was Kent Boyd, 18 and overwhelmed. "I'm a frikkin' farm guy and I'm dancing next to Alex frikkin' Wong!" he said.

Wong -- already a brilliant Miami Ballet soloist -- had seen worlds that Boyd could only imagine. He and Billy Bell were already stars when Boyd was an unknown kid in small-town Ohio.

And then:

-- Wong was injured and had to leave the show.

Watching this week's "So You Think You Can Dance," we were tempted to feel cheated. What? Nothing happened? At the end of the week, the judges decided not to decide. Instead, they'll oust two people next week.

Nothing happened -- other than making an impression on viewers and judges for the next weeks. Still, this is kind of understandable; the judges had no solution; their only options were to dump:

On "So You Think You Can Dance," choreographers can give and take away. They can serve up one piece that makes a dancer seem dynamic ... and another that makes him seem blank.

Sonya Tayek did both tonight. The loser was Jose Ruiz, who was given a piece that was set entirely on the edge of the stage. "I find it very difficult to criticize your dancing," one judge (Adam Shankman) told him afterward. That may be because Jose never really got to dance; it was a stylish piece, but this high-energy guy was rarely given a chance to move.

In my next life, I think I'll be a soldier or a saboteur or a stunt pilot, but not a dancer. Dancing seems way too dangerous -- especially after this week's "So You Think You Can Dance."

Alex Wong injured an achilles tendon and was pulled from the competition -- maybe for this week and maybe for the season. Allison, one of the show's "all-stars," re-injured a rib and asked to be taken to the hospital. And to think some parents breathe a sigh of relief when their kids turn to dance instead of football.

OK, that wasn't exactly a night of mad suspense.

After Wednesday's "So You Think You Can Dance," I predicted (see previous blog) that Melinda Sullivan, Billy Bell and Robert Roldan would be in the bottom three, with Melinda being sent home. That's exactly what happened.

It really had to. Melinda was also in the bottom three the first two weeks, but survived. On Wednesday, two judges said they'd made a mistake by not ousting her last week.

Clearly, this is not the summer to be a woman on "So You Think You Can Dance." Adding up the first two weeks, there were:

-- Twelve chances (six each week) to dump a man into the bottom three. Only one was dumped there.

-- Nine chances (five the first week, four the second) to dump a woman there. Five were dumped.

In the first week, Alexie Agdeppa was ousted; Cristina Santana and Melinda Sullivan survived. Tonight (Thursday), those two were in the bottom again, along with Robert Roldan. Cristina was sent home.
