Ariana DeBose and Brandon Dumlao were the first pair eliminated from this season of 'So You Think You Can Dance.'

With the World Series beginning tonight on Fox, judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and Adam Shankman had to determine the elimination themselves. They also selected Russell Ferguson and Brandon's partner, Pauline Mata, to be in the bottom 4.

Ariana danced the Hip-hop with partner Peter Sabasino, and chose 'Darkest Hour' by Charlotte Matin for her fateful solo. Meanwhile, Brandon and Pauline performed the smooth waltz to Whitney Houston's 'You Light Up My Life'; Brandon's solo was choreographed to 'Slow Dancing in a Burning Room' by John Mayer.

It was an emotional night on Wednesday as the contestants on season 6 of 'So You Think You Can Dance' learned who was making the Top 20 and who was going home.

The final roster includes several firsts: the first krumper (Russell Ferguson), and not just the first tap dancer, but all three tappers left in the competition. "Sometimes history is made on this show," said judge Mary Murphy; producer Nigel Lythgoe called this season "The Year of the Tap."

Married couple Ryan and Ashleigh Di Lello both made the cut, although Ashleigh only made it after Paula Van Oppen turned down the spot because she'd landed a role in the Christina Aguilera movie 'Burlesque.' BFFs Mollee Gray and Noelle Marsh, who bonded as roommates in Vegas, are both going on; as is Pauline Mata, the hip-hopper with the injured ankle. Billy Bell, the Juilliard student who made Adam Shankman cry with his performance, gets to keep dancing and keep his scholarship.

After grueling auditions, demanding partner performances and a pressure-filled finale, only one person could be crowned "America's Favorite Dancer" for season 5 of 'So You Think You Can Dance.'

And America chose 19-year-old Jeanine Mason of Miami, Fla., who beat out fellow finalists Brandon Bryant, Evan Kasprzak and Kayla Radomski for the title and $250,000.

Somewhat of an underdog, Jeanine earned the judges' accolades after the final performance show. Mary Murphy declared she was "peaking at the right time," while Nigel Lythgoe predicted she would be in the top 2 with Brandon.

'So You Think You Can Dance' will crown its season 5 winner Thu., Aug. 6 at 8PM ET on Fox. In the final performance show, the top 4 contestants -- Brandon Bryant, Evan Kasprzak, Jeanine Mason and Kayla Radomski -- danced solos and routines each each other.
