Go Sabra! Didn’t I say it would be her? Let’s just say I did, okay? The whole time. Shhh!
The supremely talented yet relatively inexperienced 19-year-old was crowned the winner of the third season of So You Think You Can Dance Thursday night, becoming the hit Fox show’s first female champ and surprising critics who felt that Lacey’s flair or Danny’s God-given talent (or, heck, even Neil’s pretty hair) would prevail in the end.
Although it looked as if she might have rolled her ankle during her solo Wednesday, Johnson, who will pocket $250,000 in prize money, was standing tall tonight.
Full Story
It was nice to see some of my favorites along the way back again. I have spent the last 2 hours catching up with the show since I was, of course, at work. I even got to see Jaimie!
There were a lot of other “remember me” moments where the judges called back dancers to see a dance again. I like that, in theory. I just kinda wish they did maybe the style again and a new dance. Maybe I am missing the point of it? It is just for filler, right?
[WHAT THE HELL IS CAT WEARING??? OMFG! She looks like a dish scrubbie. My last gay nerve is plucked. Somebody needs to beat her down, show her.. Before she dresses for NATIONAL TV again!!]
Anyhoo, it was an amazing season. Danny should have won out of that final four. Oh, and Jaime was robbed. What the hell with all those conservative styles she got all season? Other than those 2 gripes I am good. Congrats Sabra!

OMG. Sarah is gone. As is Dominic. I figured Dominic. I mean, he picked his ass on National Television.. Plus, I was kinda hoping he’d have gone instead of Kameron.
But still, wow. Sarah? Sarah our B-girl? Sarah was cuuuute! And the boots. The boots people!! But I like Lacey better. Hrm. This program has really got me! I was obsessively trying to find the results online at work, but as expected all sites were blocked. Damn the man! Finally I got the text from the dp.com favorite of the day, Fred. Thanks Fred!
By the way, American Idol question for you: where is Jordin??? Did they kill her?
Oh, and one last unrelated thing. Watch the What The Buck Show. JUST WATCH IT!!

what's up?
I missed it. Can you believe it? I told you earlier about the schedule mixup at work leaving me with a 12 hour day. So yeah. I also missed SYTYCD. I am sooo bummed. At least there was no party tonight! It turned out my whole group was busy too. Heh.
Anyway, as soon as I got home I voted for my Twitter BFF Jaimie. Even though I missed the show, I am faithful to my girl! From what I read on Blogging So You Think You Can Dance she had a great solo tonight! I am watching the performances right now on Mickeyworld.net.. Jaimie and Dominic looked good. Finally a hot number for Jaimie, eh? Well… hotter, anyway. I still think she got weird choreography. More waltz? Sheesh! Oh, and Sarah and Neil were really hot, I see! Disco!
BTW, I love the folks at Blogging SYTYCD. They really got it together over there.
Can you believe I missed it? I suck! But I will see the results show, so… It evens out I guess.
Bah. I gotta watch the rest of these performances!

Wow. Can I just say wow? One of the best episodes yet. It seemed like all of the dancers had really become confidant. The performances were top notch, even in the judges eyes. I am easy to please. The last performance was especially amazing. Who was it? Hmm… (I took no notes today, I am a tired boy after my neighbors got me drunk last night. anyhoo…)
What had me worried was the judges response to my BFF Jaimie and her partner Hok. They seemed to like Jaimie (phew!) but Hok had less than favorable responses. I am worried! I do not want Jaimie anywhere NEAR the bottom 3. She was amazing in that Waltz! She floated! The judges thought she had ‘great lines’. But it WAS a Waltz. Yawn! I mean, I guess you can only do so much with that..
Al I can say is: Come on America! Keep Jaimie safe!!!!

Hey yo. The Idol Bois meet again, though not for American Idol… That’s so last month. Now we are doing So You Think You Can Dance... I should come up with a new name for our little group, eh? Anyhoo, tonight was a little different, as we were joined by some new people. Hi new people! They were actually really sweet. I love the new people we are meeting these days! Our friends have the cutest friends… On a sad note we were missing one of the original, if not THE original Idol Boi tonight. We missed you Fred!!
Okay, now down to business. Remember last week when I wondered if my friends would think I was weird if I took notes? Well, they totally didn’t. In fact, I had forgotten to bring a note pad and our hosts totally brought me one. Heh. Now just to read them…
The first pair to perform was Lauren and Neil. That Neil is cuter than I thought. The style was Hip Hop. Mia thought they were ‘better than last week’. Mary ‘just loved it’. (Mary still annoys me.) Nigel felt that tonight they were ‘setting the bar’. I actually feel sorry for them being first. It is hard to remember how they did, even with notes yo.
Next we had Pasha and Jessi. The style was ‘Stiff Jazz’. What is that? The movements were nature inspired, as in like bird like. Mia said that she ‘loves birds’ and that it was ‘amazing’. Mary stated the obvious, that ‘you are both beautiful people’. Nigel seemed to just plug the show. Hrm. They are both seriously pretty though, at least we thought so…
Hok and Jaimie were up next with a Samba. Hawt! Mia said they were ‘as sexy as hell’. Mary felt that though there were ‘good bits’ it was not at a ‘high level’. Wow! And Nigel agreed with her!
Dominic and Sabra were funny. They chose Contemporary, a dance style foreign to Dominic. In rehearsals he was concerned for his safety! “If I don’t put my hand on her shoulder [now] the outcome is me hitting my weiner” LOL. Poor boy. After their performance Mia spent a few moments bonding with the b-boy Dominic, in the end stating that he was ‘what this competition is about, beautiful’. Mary thought they were ‘absolutely fabulous’. Nigel gave Sabra props, saying she was ‘tremendous’. He also pointed out that Dominic shaved his toes. Cute!
Cedric and Faina did a Fox Trot. I thought it would be fun! Not so much. Mia thought it was like ‘Ginger Rogers and an insecure Michael Jackson. Mary said ‘I did not feel you were wonderful’. Nigel recommended that Cedric ‘invest in rehearsals’. I think Mary and Nigel are just bitchy tonight.
Next up was my favorite Kameron and that chick they put him next to. Just kidding! Her name is Lacey and she’s hawt too. They were a highlight last week, so I expected a lot. They did not disappoint. The style was Broadway. *Drool* I love it. It was a song from Chicago! Mia felt that they were the ‘sexiest couple’, duh, but missed the pizzaz from Kameron. Mary thought it was ‘well done’ though a ‘bit naughty in the beginning’. Nigel added that it looked as though ‘they’ve been dancing together for years’. I say go Kameron!! The boy is fine…
next was Anya and Danny. Mia said ‘you guys are stunning together’. Mary felt ‘they stepped out of a dream’. Nigel was dead on when he said that folks who ‘don’t know will find it beautiful’. I did.
[OMG this is exhausting]
Shauna and Jimmy had this Hip Hop routine with this weird clogging in the middle. They didn’t call it that, but I thought it looked like clogging. Mia simply said ‘yay’ for Jimmy but felt that Shauna needed to ‘go all out’. Mary was ‘watching Jimmy the whole time’. Nigel used the ‘f’ word. That’s fun, btw… I wasn’t impressed. But I think that Shauna girl bugs me.
Sarah and Jesus were hot. They had a Paso Doble, which apparently is pretty traditional and heated. The music was Queen. Odd. But they looked great, and all of us noticed poor jesus’ package. Oh my! Sadly the music pretty much killed it for all the judges. I still say you need to find it on You Tube tomorrow. Hot.
All in all a great night. I am rooting for Kameron and what’s her face, and liking a few others. This is as fun as Idol! It is!!

what's up?
Okay. Now it’s official. The auditions are over. We have our top twenty. Let the So You Think You Can Dance viewing parties begin! Yes, I said viewing party. With our reality show viewings we now like to gather with some good friends and bond over the program. Okay, really it’s just a bunch of queens dissing the dresses yo! I kid.. But seriously. Watch these things in groups. At least the performances.. discuss and bond. It really is a great time. Plus it motivates some much needed mid-week housekeeping. Heh, really, it is a blast! If only there was a weekend edition. I am sure we’d start a drinking game of some sort.. Anyhoo.
With American Idol Richard and I hosted the finale. We were just getting to know everyone, and it seemed like a nice way to thank all the other hosts throughout the season. It seemed only appropriate that we host the beginning of So You Think. Plus I blogged about it, remember? Yeah, that post was copied and emailed out to The Group. Yeah, so again the internet and my life intertwined a bit further.
So my notes on the show? Erm… Mary the judge still gives me gas. Is it true that she is or has diddled some of the former male contestants? Gross. I know she has her fans, but the horse lady makes me angry. She should get no diddles. Period. Ew. That said, I do have my two favorites of this initial 20. I like a few of the boys, but the hawtness dp.com award is with Kameron this week. OMG. Hawt. Oh, and he seems to dance well. With the girls, I am having a hard time with the names, and the Glamor Shots bio photos on the site are no help. Why do they all look alike?? She’s the one with the dark hair. She did the ‘oil in my hands’ bit.. I love her. I just cannot remember her name.. Damn.
Other to watch are Hok and that other boy with the white belt.. See how it is with soooo many contestants? Confusing. I am describing the OUTFITS instead of knowing the names! Gah! Oh well. It was a fun night just the same.
But I miss Idol. This dance business has me feeling like a fake wine critic: This merlot is feisty without being over aggressive… right. I will try to get better. Maybe I should actually take notes. Hrm.
