'So You Think You Can Dance' finale 2009: A winner is chosen Jeanine, 18, managed to overcome a less-than-versatile partner (the talented popper Phillip Chbeeb) and an almost crippling Russian folk dance routine a few weeks back. She really came to the fore the week she partnered with Jason Glover in the thrilling heart locket routine choreographed by season two second-place finisher Travis Wall."So You Think You Can Dance" fans crowned Jeanine Mason, the under-the-radar (until recently) contemporary dancer from Florida, as "America's favorite dancer" for season five. She beat out second-place finisher Brandon Bryant, 20, a technically flawless (and inhumanly strong) contemporary dancer whose personality didn't seem to pop as much.
She gets $250,000 (whoo-hoo!) and the cover of "Dance Spirit" magazine (whoo ... hoo). Before a huge crowd at Los Angeles' Kodak Theater, a clearly overcome Jeanine said, "I've spent my whole life looking up to amazing dancers and amazing people, and I always wanted to be a role model. ... I never thought I would be giving an acceptance speech in the Kodak, but thank you Academy!"
