Chelsie Hightower and Mark Kanemura were booted off So You Think You Can Dance last week.

Both finalists sat down with TV Guide after the ousting. Here's an excerpt of their interview:

How They're Faring After Being Cast Off:
Mark Kanemura: I know it sounds like, 'Oh, he's covering up his emotions or whatever,' but I'm feeling really, really, really happy actually. I feel everything lined up for me to leave on an awesome, awesome note. In my own aspect, I feel like I've won.
Chelsie Hightower: I'm feeling great right now. I'm very grateful and so blessed to be a part of this show and make it this far. The biggest thing is, I feel like I put everything into each of my performances, and at that point it's out of your control what happens. I can't control the public, so I'm happy with myself and that's the most I could ask for.

Off So You Think You Can Dance, what does the future hold for Chelsie Hightower?
