We missed this at the time. Australia's Favorite Dancer, Jack Chambers, and runner-up Rhys Bobridge are interviewed at a Sydney radio station the day after the finale.


This one's more recent. Rhys, who is now back home in Adelaide (Radelaide, as he calls it) is interviewed by Andy & Adrian on JoyFM. Sorry, no Regime.

SYTYCD Australia Top 10 Show Video

Two Youtubers have gone to the trouble to provide us with the good quality top 10 video. SYTYCDAustralia has the top 10 performances, and NothingGoldStays has both performance and results video, and last week's top 10 recap filler show too.


Network TEN is very happy with SYTYCDAus ratings:

Network Ten's hit reality program So You Think You Can Dance Australia is here to stay for many more years.

Executives from Ten on Thursday credited the series for helping to propel the network into its best ratings position in history and said the show had now been flagged as a "multi-year" franchise.

"So You Think You Can Dance, we now know is going to be around for at least the next couple of years, because it's such a break-out hit," Ten Holdings executive chairman Nick Falloon told a media briefing in Sydney on Thursday.

Rhys and Demi headed home for the recent Easter break:

Rhys Bobridge dropped into Prahran's the Market, where he works as a drag queen, while Demi Sorono visited South Melbourne club Seven and tried a few of her moves.

"I wasn't up on a podium or anything but I busted out a few freestyle moves and I got a bit of a circle around me watching," she said. "It was pretty cool."

Bobridge also caught up with his boyfriend and said it was hard saying goodbye again and returning to the high pressure of being in the final 10.

Ballerina Vanessa Sew Hoy has impressed with her versatility and grace. Her hometown paper, the Manly Daily (there's a joke there somewhere, but I'll leave it alone) talks to her Mom:

"She has had to do so many other dance styles, but none of them have had to do ballet," Ms Moy said .

"I am amazed she's handling it so well."

Australia Update

So You Think You Can Dance Australia continues to shine in the ratings. It's even being called a juggernaut.

Sony wants in. Sony Australia has announced a "fully intgrated sponsorship deal":

The brand’s involvement will canvass on-set activity, online sponsorship, integrated TV spots featuring Cyber-Shot, Handycam and Vaio brands, as well as product placement throughout the live show, rehearsals and backstage.

Product placement? I'm not sure how that's going to work. Instead of Neil and Sabra's table dance, will we see a Vaio laptop dance?
