A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting and chatting with the bubbly and beautiful Jeanine Mason, or as her official title dictates: America's Favorite Dancer. The petite firecracker laughed and gesticulated throughout our interview, showing the personality that led her to her So You Think You Can Dance victory in spades. Sitting across from Jeanine, it's easy to imagine she's the world's best BFF, an effervescent companion to giggle through shopping trips with and to lend support, advice, and positivity during challenging times. Plus as we all witnessed, girlfriend can flat out dance.

Jeanine chatted with me about the most exciting part of being named America's Favorite Dancer, what we can expect from So You Think You Can Dance tour, kissing Jason her "big brother" at the end of "If It Kills Me," and her thoughts on season 6.
