Thursday night, RealityWanted's own Jenn Hoffman attended the live season finale of So You Think You Can Dance. She watched as Melanie was crowned the winner and caught up with the final four dancers, as well as some of the judges, on the red carpet afterwards.

Guest judge Robin Antin revealed to RealityWanted who she'd like to snatch up and work with herself. "I'd say Jordan, Missy, and Caitlynn were my favorite girls that I literally could create a new Pussycat Dolls out of - just those girls," she said. "Oh no, they were fierce!"

Executive Producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe took some heat for predicting all season long that a female dancer would win but he defended himself saying, "I don't mind teling my truth because that's how I feel. It doesn't mean I'm right but I wanted them to know that I always thought a girl would win and that their performance last night didn't give me any reason to question that."

Mary Murphy backed up Nigel, telling RealityWanted, "Melanie has been the frontrunner. I mean, if you watch the show, you'll know that all the way through, we just adored her."

Speaking of, we also caught up with winner Melanie Moore, who opened up about her all-time favorite piece this season, saying, "It was probably my duet with Neil when I just get to fly across the stage into his arms. I just felt so free!"

Jenn Hoffman cuddled up with Tadd on the red carpet who said that he bonded most with Marko. "I have bonded with the other Asian one and it's crazy that we were really a lot alike," he revealed. "He's kinda like my brother on this season."

Marko and Sasha could not be more different when it comes to meeting new people. Marko told us, "I usually get pretty awkward when I meet new people and dancing's always when I'm most comfortable. I always tell people, 'If you wanna know who I am, just see me dance'." Sasha, on the other hand, can't wait to get out and meet the fans on the nationwide tour. "I'm excited to meet all the people who have been looking up to us, all the fans," she said. "I love meeting new people and seeing who we inspire. I'm excited, really excited to do that!"
