I had definitely picked Sasha Mallory to win So You Think You Can Dance. I thought that she was a great dancer who had the ability to captivate an audience with a single step and that she got a lot of coverage during the audition portion of the program when she was there with her sister (which is a crucial time to connect with the voting audience).

At the post-finale pressline I asked her if she appreciated finishing as the runner-up or if it was frustrating to be so close and yet so far.
