TV highlights: 'So You Think You Can Dance' unveils a winner

             
   
HIGHLIGHTS

The votes are in, and "So You Think You Can Dance" (Fox at 8) wraps up for the season on Thursday night and announces a winner, also known as America's Favorite Dancer.

Get ready for the type of drama that's usually reserved for Bravo's shows on "American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior" (TLC at 9). Father and son are not only fighting but also competing for business, as Paul Jr. decides to open his own bike shop after Paul Sr. fires him from Orange County Choppers.

Speaking of drama on Bravo, Mary has all kinds of family issues when her oldest daughter moves back home on "Real Housewives of D.C." (Bravo at 9), and Stacie's soul-food dinner party leads to controversy.

Designer Betsey Johnson stops by "Project Runway" (Lifetime at 9) to guest-judge a challenge involving extremely unconventional fashion.

A seemingly straightforward case involving a nightclub beating gets complicated for Chris and Andy on "Rookie Blue" (ABC at 9), and Luke and Sam face off during a training exercise that gets more competitive than anyone expected.

Michael plots how to sneak into prison on "Burn Notice" (USA at 9) when Sam's friend, a prisoner, is threatened by another inmate.

Things get serious on Season 2 of "BBQ Pitmasters" (TLC at 10), as the series becomes a competition format. "Next Food Network Star" Kevin Roberts hosts as the contestants have a pork cook-off, judged by a panel including Art and Soul restaurant owner Art Smith, barbecue expert Myron Mixon, and football player Warren Sapp.

A man hurt in an electrical accident goes under the knife for a risky face-transplant surgery on "Boston Med" (ABC at 10) while another family copes with a death of a loved one whose organ donation will help someone else in need.

"Bethenny Getting Married?" (Bravo at 10) ended last week, but as always, Bravo finds a way to stretch out the series just a bit longer, with unaired scenes from the "Real Housewives of New York City" star's spinoff.

Hank treats lottery winners with the same illness on "Royal Pains" (USA at 10), and discovers their similar symptoms are a result of their new (and rich) lifestyle.

Actor Javier Barden stops by "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" (NBC at 11:35), along with musical guest the Whigs.

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (ABC at 12:05) hosts actors Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham, and Buckcherry performs.
