So You Think You Can Dance: Exit Interviews and Recap

On the show, Nigel said: "Yanet, you need to be careful that your personality comes out in your face as well as your body," he said. "You have a wonderful animalistic magnetism to your work that draws people in, but sometimes your face doesn't express that as much as I believe you're feeling it. Yanet, I don't think it's going to come as a surprise to you this week that you will not be in our top six."

Looking close to tears, Yanet said: "I am disappointed, just because I would have loved to continue the great work with the amazing choreographers. I feel like a winner - I've come such a long way on my own. I'm going to take the positive comments from the judges and hopefully will improve my career."

Moving on to the men, Lythgoe said that again the decision was "unanimous" but added that the panel was "terribly upset" to have to choose between McOnie and White.

"Without question, both of you could have been in our finale and I would not have been surprised if either of you had won," he said. "Both your solos were fantastic. We were not a fan of the gold telephone this week, Drew, but we are a fan of your dancing. Your dancing is so good you don't need props. Drew, I'm sorry and I'm surprised that I'm saying this, but you are leaving us this week."

McOnie said that he couldn't explain how he was feeling but added: "The whole experience has been one of the most amazing times of my life. It's genuinely changed me. The amazing choreographers we had the pleasure to learn from - I want to take that forward in my career to make me a better dancer and a better person. I hope this makes people want to dance as much as I do."
