Oh, Kent! He was such a cutie patootie. I'm still kinda surprised that Toothy Blonde Cheerleader beat him out for America's Favorite Dancer that season, although TBC really grew on me. I was rooting for her by the end!
SYTYCD seems like it has been gone for sooo long. I think I just got spoiled that year we had like three seasons in a row. Anyway, it won't be back for a while. AI just started and that thing is going to be around forever. I think we are back to SYTYCD just being a sweet summer trifle.
Speaking of Idol, someone needs to ban "Radioactive" as an audition song. And I LIKE that song.
De-lurking just long enough to post this:
Life after SYTYCD
Huh. Well, that sounds like an interesting idea, and possibly a good vehicle for him.
Fucking Nick. At least Nina made it, too. I did feel sorry for (memfault) who battled through 8 rounds of LCK only to get knocked out.
It was a little heartbreaking to see Louis go home after all that. Shirley, too, though.
I can't totally begrudge Nick the place in the final because it seemed like he really relaxed and upped his game once he got to Hawaii. But I just don't like him the way I like Nina (or Shirley or Louis).
I knew it! I knew these judges would find a way to get Nick into the finale and mess up my dream Nina/Shirley death match. Bah. Well, that makes it easy for me to know who I'm rooting for in the finale.
I am happy that Shirley found her voice as a chef and I would totally go to her restaurant whenever she opens one up in a city near me. I couldn't feel too badly for Louis because I barely remembered him and I don't watch LCK, so I wasn't familiar with his epic 8 match win streak and I wanted Carlos to come back anyway, soooo....also, he seemed clearly out of his depth as compared with the other three both in the Quickfire and during the elimination challenge.
AI: I am still loving the new panel. HCJ is magic and JLo is just as gorgeous as ever and last night they showed her in all her Fly Girl glory on In Living Color and it was fabulous. Still way too many kids for me to care at this point.
I was on Virgin American flights recently, and they have a new safety video, which is all about the dancing. It's choreographed by Christopher Scott, and features Cyrus.

I do wish it didn't objectify the women so much, but parts of it were fun.
I think maybe I saw Chbeeb too, right near the end.
That was too cute! The last time I flew Virgin America, they still had the cartoon, which was also amusing but has got nothing on this.
And that was totally Chbeeb near the end. He was in it earlier, too, I think. The passenger in the plaid jacket was him also.
Well done, Christopher Scott. Hope you bring that level of choreography to the next season of SYTYCD.
