Lythgoe has noted that although fans of the show complained about season 7&#8217;s format[8] and missed &#8220;the interconnection between people who had never been in competition before,&#8221; &#8220;putting [contestants] with an All-Star lifted their game immensely,&#8221;[1] which informed his decision to combine the two formats and try to &#8220;have the best of both worlds.&#8221;[8] This season also marked the first time that the public was able to cast their votes online, in addition to calling in, with a limit of 50 votes per viewer.[9]\nTop 20 finalists<br \/>\nMale contestants<br \/>\nFinalist \tAge \tHome Town \tDance Style \tPlacement<br \/>\nMarko Germar \t22 \tDededo, Guam \tContemporary Jazz \t3rd Place<br \/>\nTadd Gadduang \t25 \tWest Valley City, Utah \tB-Boying \t4th Place<br \/>\nRicky Jaime \t19 \tMiami, Florida \tContemporary \tTop 6<br \/>\nJess LeProtto \t18 \tLittle Falls, New Jersey \tBroadway \tTop 8<br \/>\nMitchell Kelly \t20 \tAtlanta, Georgia \tContemporary \tTop 10<br \/>\nAlexander Fost \t21 \tAlhambra, California \tBallet \tTop 12<br \/>\nChris Koehl \t21 \tGarland, Texas \tHip-Hop \tTop 14<br \/>\nRobert Taylor, Jr. \t31* \tBrooklyn, New York \tHip-hop \tTop 16<br \/>\nWadi Jones \t24 \tOssining, New York \tB-Boying \tTop 20<br \/>\nNick Young \t19 \tFranklin, Wisconsin \tTap \tTop 20<\/p>\n<p>    Robert was 30 at the time of application.
