On last night's "So You Think You Can Dance" competition show, a romantically charged dance by early fan favorites Marko and Melanie inspired judge/executive producer Nigel Lythgoe to lay a surprise smooch on co-judge Mary Murphy, guest judge Kristin Chenoweth to kiss judge Lil' C and then Lythgoe to also kiss Lil' C. However, the elimination show earlier tonight in Los Angeles had a darker cloud looming over it since two of the remaining 16 dancers in Season 8 of the dance competition show were being sent home. Like every Thursday this season, our Jim Halterman was there to talk to all the judges (and host Cat Deeley) as well as the eliminated dancers.

And here's the complete index of all the interviews from tonight (6/30/11):
