Ratings are down on this season of Fox’s dance competition series So You Think You Can Dance and now Fox is hoping to bring in more viewers with the announcement of Paula Abdul as a guest judge. The former American Idol and The X Factor judge has signed up to guest judge the talented dancers on the July 9, 2013 episode of the series.
Abdul is well suited to the job as the winner of two Emmys for her work as a choreographer (The 17th Annual American Music Awards, The Tracey Ullman Show), and she’ll be joining Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy as well as Fox Sports broadcaster Erin Andrews on the judging panel when the dancers hit the stage at 8pm.
The Details:
In tomorrow night’s all-new episode, the competition continues when the Top 18 finalists – Jasmine Mason and Alan Bersten; Mariah Spears and “BluPrint”; Makenzie Dustman and Paul Karmiryan; Hayley Erbert and Curtis Holland; Amy Yakima and “Fik-Shun”; Alexis Juliano and Nico Greetham; Jasmine Harper and Aaron Turner; Jenna Johnson and Tucker Knox; and Malece Miller and Jade Zuberi – compete once again for America and the judges, including guest judges Andrews and Abdul.
So You Think You Can Dance is hosted by Cat Deeley and is executive produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe, Barry Adelman, and Allen Shapiro.
