Hmm. I guess I'm ok with that. Maybe. I'd feel weird if I liked two guys best and a girl had to win, but given how many guys have won, maybe America is just biased, so...
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

Hasn't it been even in terms of winners? Working back, Melanie of the amazing poise, Lauren Fro. the cheerleader, Russell the krumper, Jeanine and her tango rose, my beloved Joshua, Sabra the disappeared, Benji, and that dude who eon the first season I never saw. So, 4 and 4, and 3 of the last 4 were women.

Yeah, SYTYCD has actually been better than most reality shows with the girl winners. I don't like the idea of having a girl winner and a boy winner. The show doesn't need it.
Despite all my bitching, I think America has gotten it shockingly right with the winners on SYTYCD. The only season I really vehemently disagree with is the season that Sabra beat out Danny because . . . freaking Danny Tidwell! And even then, it's not like Sabra wasn't a good little dancer. Danny was just unreal.
Sigh. I wonder why they are really doing this given that they've had a pretty good gender balance on the show in terms of winners. Maybe Nigel is pissed that the last, what, three winners in a row have been girls?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I'm bristling at the format change, but I suspect I'd bristle regardless. So I guess we'll just see how it shakes down. I just hope they've gotten the safety stuff sorted out this season. I still haven't forgiven them for breaking Alex Wong. Who I gather is doing just fine, but still.

Nigel is an ass just on GP anyway.

Yeah, that was pretty obvious on simple visual inspection.

Because books.
I never would have suspected any of that, but I know nothing about her. I never particularly liked her shrieking, but coke and sex scandals? I had no clue.
