According to Nigel Lythgoe, creator of the show, announced that two of the final four dancers were hospitalized this week during rehearsals. The rehearsals were ended abruptly and had to be rushed by ambulance to nearby Cedars Sinai Hospital. Whether or not this means a delay in the finale of the show is yet to be determined.
Nigel reported that, "Two went in [Saturday] and so there was no more rehearsals, and today [Sunday] all the rehearsals were called off."
This announcement was confirmed during Fox's 2008 Teen Choice Awards by judge Mary Murphy. "The kids are completely dehydrated – two of them. I’m sure they’re doing a lot of blood work to see if there’s anything else."
Our hopes go out to all four of the dancers and especially to the two suffering from dehydration, that all goes well. We wish all four of the finalists the best of luck at the finale.
