The season 17 finale of Fox’s So You Think You Can Dance aired Wednesday night. It all came down to this week’s performances, after weeks of contestants competing against each other, preparing various routines and performing in front of the judges and studio audience. Alexis and Keaton were the two contenders who advanced to the final round.

fantastic season I like Alexis and Keaton equally but don’t just let the crowd vote. Keaton deserved to win! #SYTYCD s2 s00:00 s06:44
One of the two finalists won the title of America’s Favorite Dancer and a huge cash prize of $100,000 in addition to the title. This season’s So You Think You Can Dance contestants, along with judges Leah Remini, JoJo Siwa and tWitch, performed as a group as part of the series’ grand finale.
The two winners, Alexis and Keaton, each had to complete five drills for the grand finals. They had to pull off a solo, a group routine, a duet, an appearance with a former partner of their choice, and an all-star appearance.
The judges’ comments were made after each cast member had finished. The studio audience had an opportunity to make the final selection based on the jury’s comments. They chose their favorite dancer of the night after seeing Alexis and Keaton perform. The winner was determined by who received the most votes.

We were all emotional watching Alexis and Keaton perform in their last performance together on stage since they were partners earlier in the season. • #SYTYCD

Despite the fact that viewers praised both Keaton and Alexis’ performances, Alexis ultimately won the season, receiving the most votes from the studio audience. The So You Think You Can Dance contestant made competition history by becoming the first ballroom dancer to win.
Despite the fact that many fans celebrated and congratulated her win, some fans felt Keaton should have won instead. Social media was used by viewers to give their opinion on the decision.
According to the show’s critics, Keaton should have won season 17 of So You Think You Can Dance
Twitter users expressed their disappointment that Keaton’s chances of winning the championship had been stolen. Although Alexis could dance just as well as Keaton, several fans argued that Keaton ultimately deserved to win the competition.

Keaton suffered a robbery. #SYTYCD 2 1 clearly should have won.

I hate being nitpicking, but I’ll do it anyway. KEATON WAS FOUCHED! #SYTYCD
By the way, the whole season was a complete disappointment. Sigh. Bring back @dizzyfeets.

Love how Keaton got robbed agrees the vast majority of #SYTYCD fans. He is undoubtedly America’s favorite dancer and with his charisma he will undoubtedly have a successful career in dance and show business. I’m relieved that he won’t go down in history as the “winner” of the show’s worst season.

whyyousoquiet s @whyyousoquiet s#SYTYCD NOT America, but Alexis was the crowd’s favorite dancer! From the judges (excluding Twitch) to the voting, this season has been rubbish. Keaton had been robbed! I hope they have enough money to vote in AMERICA next year! #justiceforkeaton s7

Someone robbed Keaton. He never finished last throughout the season. For this episode only, Alexis was America’s Least Popular Dancer. #sytycd s19 s1

Oh my god #sytycd Keaton deserved the win since he got robbed. Even though Alexis was amazing, she felt uninspired the whole time. He brought presence and versatility to the stage. Keaton was the focus of the program, and if Americans had had a chance to cast ballots, he would have won.

I’m not mad at Alexis… I just don’t think it’s fair that she got so much publicity on tour with #DWTS, Maks and Val. How’s that? She has achieved so many achievements. I think Keaton was taken advantage of. #SYTYCD s27 s2 sCam🌵 sCam🌵 [email protected]

#SYTYCD He should have won tonight based on Keaton and Anna’s contribution alone.

Keaton had to complete five routines during this week’s grand finals, as did Alexis. Keaton opted for a contemporary routine with Anna for his debut performance with a former So You Think You Can Dance contestant. During rehearsals, the two also made their connection public.

Leah remarked how well they hit it off during their training. The following act featured Keaton and his all-star companion. He and Lex Ishimoto established a hip-hop routine. Although not a hip-hop dancer, Keaton has shown himself to be a flexible performer.
Presenting a modern routine, Keaton showcased his distinctive steps in his solo performance. His strongest maneuvers were shown in his last performance with Alexis, which involved flowing movements.
SPOILER ALERT: So you think you can dance, so you think you can dance @DANCEonFOX
And the #SYTYCD season 17 winner is… 198 29
Although Alexis won the season, Keaton was delighted with his competitor and sent her his congratulations. Alexis said that Keaton was the ideal brother and friend for a woman. But it’s obvious that proponents disagree.
