‘SYTYCD’ Judges Discuss Top 10 Week Eliminations

By | Reality Rocks – Fri, Jul 22, 2011 9:22 AM EDT

This week the competition on "So You Think You Can Dance" got even more exciting, as the top 10 danced closer to the Season 8 finish line with the help of some newly recruited allstars. Sadly for Clarice and Mitchell, they went home Thursday night--a unanimous decision by the three judges--but we will soon see them on the tour, so the "SYTYCD" journey is far from over for those two.

Mary Murphy was a no-show backstage this week, but she'll be back with her colorful outfits and even more colorful opinions next Thursday. In the meantime, watch Mary's fellow judges' post-results interviews below, in which Nigel Lythgoe discusses gender quotas; future guest judges Lady Gaga, Rob Marshall, and Christina Applegate; and theories as to why excellent dancers like Jordan and Ricky keep landing in the bottom.

And make sure to check out guest judge Neil Patrick Harris's interview too, for solid proof that some of the celebrity judges on "SYTYCD" this season--contrary to popular belief--take their jobs quite seriously.
