Who will win SYTYCD Canada?

Settled as Nicolas Archambault

Nico Archambault doesn't just think he can dance anymore -- he knows it.

The 24-year-old Montreal hoofer has $100,000 and a shiny new Mercedes-Benz to prove he's le man, after winning the first season of CTV's So You Think You Can Dance Canada on Sunday night. Nico got the better of nearly 3.5 million viewer votes to claim the incredibly spectacular and highly renowned title of Canada's Favourite Dancer, beating out third place contenders Miles Faber and Natalli Reznik, and runnerup Allie Bertram.

Background:

Here I was in mourning that I had to wait another whole 10 months for another season of 'So You Think You Can Dance' and I find out that there's another one going on just a little bit north! Sweet. Canada just established their top 10, and they're looking pretty strong. Check them out here

THE FINAL FOUR

Allie Bertram, the perky little ballet dancer from Calgary, 18, is the youngest of the bunch. Which is one of the reasons she'll be the first to go. Don't get me wrong, the kid showed amazing courage and tenacity. She has energy to burn and an indefatigable cheery optimism. But she also has a long career ahead of her.

Miles Faber, 21, also from Calgary, shares Bertram's drive and diversity as a street popper who seemed able to adapt to whatever was thrown his way, with an irresistible smile and aw-shucks modesty. Were the slate a bit different, he might have done better. But the competition is fierce and he's got to come third.

Local girl Natalli Reznik, 28. She has the chiselled body of a Greek goddess. If she were any more "cut," she'd be one of those transparent plastic "Visible Human Body" models we used to construct when we were kids. Already a hip-hop/Latin dancer, she shares the seamless versatility of the previous two and the confidence that only comes with experience. But she's going to be the runner-up. She'd win the season, were it not for ...

Nico Archambault, 23, the contemporary/hip-hop dancer from Montreal. And pin-up boy for millions of lustfully gobsmacked Canadian women. It's not just the bod or the rakish rooster faux-hawk, or the dreamy French accent, or the tattoos and cheeky bad-boy grin ... okay, it's all those things. And a charm and genuine good-guy humility that match his considerable dancing skills. He cinched it with last week's solo, stripped to the waist and body-painted with graffiti. I'm calling him Canada's Favourite Dancer.
