Oh, here's a question: the dances were pre-recorded, right? Because that would be rough, telling Lacey and Neil they lost and then making them dance. Rough, but totally show-biz, I guess.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

OMG! How can you people talk so much about dancing!
Y'all are cracking me up.

I'm happy. Sabra's my girl. I've been voting her all season long and Danny, too, the past few weeks. I couldn't decide who I really wanted to win, but I didn't want Lacey or Neil to win. I just really wanted to see a female win.

Well then, this post is for you, Sean!
I thought they sold Sabra well all season -- I think she also surprised them with her staying power -- and I'm okay with her winning because I do think she holds her own as a performer.
As a dancer, Danny wuz robbed. He's been my absolute favorite to watch all season.

Oh, here's a question: the dances were pre-recorded, right?
I thought I read somewhere that it was live tonight? But I could totally be making that up.
I wonder what the real order of finish was, because I don't think Sabra and Danny were 1/2. I'm betting it was Sabra/Neil/Lacey/Danny.
Oh yeah, and I am totally sticking my tongue out at Sean. While wriggling around in a tuna net covered in green paint. To a Tom Waits song.

What Sparky said. I love to watch Danny dance, he's so elegant. But I think Sabra was a better actor and that's what drew people to her.
ETA: the end credits said that portions of the show had been pre-recorded.

At some point, I decided it was a good thing that half the time I couldn't recognize Sabra in the group numbers. She's a total chameleon.

Well the fucking gib gab dance was definitely pre-recorded (and all the season footage), but if I had to guess, it might be that the group dance to the Imogen Heap song was pre-recorded, but I could be wrong about that. It just looked like the same camera angles and everything, not the kind of replication I noticed with other dances.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That was a great episode, with some problems. It was great to see so much dance!
That jibjab thing was annoying. I don't care whether I see them dancing or not, just don't hype something stupid that much when you're going to punk the audience.
Sabra winning? I didn't know she had a voting contingent. I'm sure I'll be wading through a crapload of conspiracy theories on TwoP tomorrow. I'm sorry Danny didn't quite make it.

watched on tivo delay. My first thought was -- what the fuck is Cat Deeley wearing? Who did she piss off in wardrobe?
Loved seeing the hummingbird again. Also enjoyed Nigel dropping the hint about "alternates",
I think that Sara must have been a little bitter, being in three favorite routines with three different partners. I think that Lacey was only in one favorite, and that was the one that she got eliminated on.
