The Biography section of the article doesn't read very neutrally. "In August 2007, despite countless feeble attempts at portraying him as "arrogant," Danny has been easily able to woo the So You Think You Can Dance audience, staying safe for many weeks, allowing him to have a part in the Top 4 Finale." Seriously? Feeble attempts? Has been easily able to woo? Can we change the phrasing of some of this? Whoever put it up has a clear bias. 172.190.134.159 04:19, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Trust, that's exactly what I did in part.

My thing is, thus far there is nothing publicly available presently that suggests the comparative rankings of the four finalists. All anyone not behind-the-scenes on the show really knows, until the producers choose to say otherwise, is that Sabra Johnson won and that Danny Tidwell, Lacey Schwimmer, and Neil Haskell didn't. A vague case could be made that this order was implied by the order of the reveals during the broadcast, but since no actual vote counts have been provided — perhaps intentionally — we can't really say that Danny is the runner-up, and it would be more appropriate to suggest that he was a runner-up. This would be in line with the notion that the twelve eliminated dancers were not ordered by rank either, as we would have no way of knowing (especially with the first five paired eliminations) who received how many votes week to week.

[edit] Good article

This article reads well and meets all the GA criteria. In particular, I thought the article was very well referenced. Congratulations! Johnfos 03:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
