Thabiso Lebuka, Kim McCusker, Elizma Wildschutte and Ashley Searle are South Africa’s favourite dancers - and now it's up to viewers to ensure their most firm fave triumphs in the So You So You Can Dance Grand Finale coming up this Saturday (1 November).

The decision was reached in last nights final Results Show that saw contenders Bathembu Myira and Marise Dusheiko dance their final dance before being eliminated.

The Results Show opened with the Top 6 hearing that Elizma and Ash were safe with a secured spot in the Top 4.  Marise, Thabiso, Kim and Bathembu each ripped, whirled and screamed for their lives and then faced the final firing line.

Head judge Harold van Buuren re-re-reiterrated that the dancers are only as good as their last dance, criticised Marise for having stiff ballroom legs and complimented Thabiso for finding his inner animal.

After assessing all four dancers he announced that the decision was uninamous amongst the judges and that small packages of dynamite Marise and Bathembu would be detonated together.

Marise shed a tear, thanked everyone involved with the show and made a plea for a job and Bathembu thanked his grandmother and told SA to support everyone in the world except himself.

The victorious four watched the goodbyes, looking a conflicted sad/super-relieved and will now put all their gusto into preparing for Saturdays showdown.

The one-and-a-half hour Special starts an half-hour earlier than usual - at 18h00.

The foursome will dance for their lives in front of all five judges from the season - as per, Harold will be Head judge and will be joined by regular judge David Matamela as well as Didi Moses, Adele Blank and Debbie "one naked shoulder" Rakusin.

The show will open with a group number and then each of the four will dance solo. They will also have a final chance to dance with each other - here's what they'll be dancing:

Elizma and Ash - Afro Fusion
Kim and Thabiso - Pantsula
Kim and Ash - Jive
Elizma and Thabiso - Hip Hop

All the Top 20 finalists will be in the action too, dancing a special group number. Adding to the night will be a performance by award winning South African R&B superstar Loyiso.

Further hot dance talent will be in the spotlight when Duane and Jed Lawrence show the moves that have seen them perform alongside Beyonce , 50 Cent, Mario, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West. The two are the current South African B-Boy Champions having recently snatched the title from France’s renowned Pokemon crew.

Each of the judges will give their responses to the finalists but, in the end, it's the South African public who'll make the final decision. Viewers are now voting for their favourite dancer and NOT their favourite couple.

Voting opened at the end of last night’s Results Show and will close towards the end of Saturday's show. Valued at R250 000, the final prize is made up of a Cherry car and the rest in cash.

Onwards to Mzansi's most favourite dancer taking the crown!

Ticket news: the Finale is open to the public with tickets costing R20,00 per person available from Computicket outlets as well as Shoprite/Checkers stores in Gauteng. No tickets will be available at the door.

I can't believe Kim's still in the running

<<and now it's up to viewers to ensure their most firm fave triumphs in the So You So You Can Dance Grand Finale coming up this Saturday (1 November).>>
Oh at last thank Gaad, I was very tired of this show

<<Adding to the night will be a performance by award winning South African R&B superstar Loyiso. >>
Big Yawn! Please shoot me now.

<<the final prize is made up of a Cherry car...>>

"South African public who'll make the final decision"...
That remained to be seen...
Marise deserved to be on that top 4, she was much, much stronger than KIM. The competitors are all gone, it is so obvious that Elizma will take the prize. 

Eish mara Thabiso o nice ne!!Dude is hot
Thabiso hot?? 
lol @ shnuggh
I'd say Bathembu was hot, cute smile.

Simmone
29 Oct 2008 10:06

Missed it, not voting, still mourning but one on one,

Elizma vs. Kim – Gaawd save the poor child, the only competition Elizma had in the Top 4was Marise, what Kimmy Poo is doing in the final is over and beyond me.

Thabiso vs. Ash – Now that is real competition and hoping Thabiso takes it.

Ditto Golden Star.

Still Loling on Harold blowing his own horn, “You can boe but can’t take away the credentials”

29 Oct 2008 10:11

Elizma, in my opinion shes the most  daring of all the contestants. I just love her bubbly yet shy character. Shes oh soo lovely!!!!!!

Same here Simmone, Herold knows he's good, so manje useyachoma.

Neway, did ur'll see in the pic above Herold made sure he stands next to Elizma. Hayi cha shen he really likes her, I'm sure if her had one night with her shim would be straight in a second.

I am happy with the top four. Kodwa ke as for Megan.........shem bandla I will never let that go.

29 Oct 2008 10:25

I don't want to be too conmfident that Elizma will win, coz I know SA, anything can happen, even Kim could unexpectedly win.

Cody

JadaPinkett

Uh! Guyz I think I like Elizma coz she's doing with Herold's voice.and I think she's gonna win maybe with Thabiso.

Luookz
29 Oct 2008 10:37

Say that again Renagade.........he pisses the *bleep!* out of me. hes comments are soo lame. have u guys noticed he's comments are always the total opposite to the other judges. But that shim (Harold) should stop undermining the guy. They shud have Somizi as a judge. OHHHHH i can just imagine the 2 bitches on each other throats.
