"So You Think You Can Dance" clear frontrunner Alex Wong's injury means he is out of the show for the season. Alex would have been in the finals last season but he couldn't get out of his contract with the Miami City Ballet, so it's especially devastating. Alex, who was in tears at the end of the show, will undergo surgery next week to reattach his Achilles tendon and the recovery period is three months.

Ashley Galvan and Billy Bell, two of the best dancers on the show, were in the bottom two but were saved by Alex's sad departure.

Thank you for your prayers last night. I hope to have a speedy recovery. I am so grateful to be where I am today and to have met all these wonderful people and amazing choreographers. I have enjoyed every minute of this experience and I wish it would never end. I love you all so much, especially my fellow contestants, you guys are my back bone, thank you so much for always being there for me. Kent, thank you for everything.

There was also much self-congratulations on today's Emmy nominations: Mia was nominated for her work on season five, notably "Addiction" with Kayla Radomski and Kupono Aweau, and Stacey Tookey got one for her "Fear" routine featuring Legacy and Kathryn McCormick, plus a nom for SYTYCD make-up. Adam Shankman's Oscar telecast received 12 nominations, and Nigel Lythgoe even gave a shout-out to former SYTYCD star Chelsie Hightower for her nomination for "Dancing With the Stars."
