SYTYCD, Season Finale, the Boneless Poppers and Mixed Fillers
Posted on August 7, 2008
So You Think You Can Dance, sytycd
Cat started off the show with a stat-dump before sending us through the opening credits to catch up with the reunited top twenty, assembled into their original couples, do the dance-in.
As I watch them prance about I find myself sadly wondering: Am I the only one who can’t remember some of these peoples?
Cat’s flapper-hippie dress looked like it had been attacked by a bedazzler. If I could only forget the last time that happened to me.
Lo and behold, a big pile of judges are crammed behind the table including my new fav, Li’l C. Mia’s hair, an Annie Lennox affair, seemed quite cool.
So lets talk about the dancing and the amazing assortment of mixed fillers, including a pop-off and Nauseating CG Bear Happy Dance Time…
SYTYCD, Top Four Perform and Mia Micheals is HUGE

So You Think You Can Dance, sytycd
Cat’s dress, shiney with goldiness, made me think of a snake’s tummy. Or like some kind of Incan armor. The wife says it looks like one of those collapsible camp cups. YOU decide!
Favorite line I’m going to try to fit into a conversation tomorrow: “Brought to you by our friends at Snuggle!” -Cat
I must also take this moment to tell you all something I’ve noticed: Mia Michaele is huge and gigantic. She is so huge that she might be a massive world-consuming galactic visitor*. She could easily fit me into her mouth along with a forkload of pasta.
Judges
Mandy Moore fills the guest seat this evening. Mandy had some pretty good dances this year, and I kinda fink I like her better than Mia sometimes. Her judging? Not nearly as entertainingly bitchy.
Mary was very easy on the lot of them this evening, showing no obvious favoritism.
And Nigel continually harped on Joshua’s supposed lack of training, which I’m pretty sure EVERYONE knows isn’t true. What agenda does this crazy bastard have?!?
Now lets talk about the dances…
SYTYCD, Elimination, Suspender Masks and Lady Ga-Ga

Group Dance
Synchronized Contortional Contemporary by Mandy Moore, danced to The Rose, Bette Midler
I found it interesting that Mandy Moore chose to have Chelsie start the piece, as the style seemed more Courtney or Katee. But, as always, the group dance was great.
Cat’s delight in the stage-fan was infectious; I just might place a box fan in each room of my house in order to provide me with constant recreational dramatic entrances. Oh… wait, I’m bald. Its really hard to tell if I’m being blown upon just by watching me.
Hey, does it seem wierd that Cat and Nigel, both very English, are pimping the US election? They have this whole Gordon Brown thing to deal with back home, don’t they?
Nigel says that the vote count was a little secret, and that he loves the finalists. I can only assume this means he hates everyone else and can’t keep a secret, both of which are a relief to me as I can relax and stop worrying about disappointing him.
Mary used the old roller-coaster metaphor, which nearly fills out my bingo card. All I need is “cinderella story” or “he/she shouldn’t be able to do this” for the win.
SYTYCD, Top Six Perform and Cat Deeley borrows a Grill

Only six dancers left this week, the show is down to one hour again, Mark’s wearing a backwards hat, Joshua is making me dislike him with his insistence on demonstrating that he is “4-real”, and Cat Deeley is apparently a filth fetishist. Good to know, hard to prove.
Judges
Hooray! The guest judge is Adam Shankman! Even with the unfortunate Paula Abdul pimping, I like this guy alot.
Speaking of pimping, there were far altogether too many audience call-outs from the judges tonight.
- Nigel:”And we have my second grade music teacher in the audience tonight–take a bow. Aggie!”
- Adam:”We have a special person in the house. Give it up for my personal assistant, Benardo!”
- Mary:”I’d like you all to meet my special friend, Blue Jar of Barbisol! There he is! Stand up, Blue Jar of Barbisol!”
SYTYCD, Elimination and LYCRA, LYCRA, LYCRA!

So You Think You Can Dance, sytycd
The opening group dance, which featured our dancers playing the part of a colony of lycra wearing morlocks, was quite entertaining. Even Toni Basil going on and on about how frickin’ great she was didn’t bring me down. I ran upstairs, found my lycra shirt, and fondled it for the rest of the night. So… so very stretchy.
Cat was apparently dressed as a Greek goddess while Nigel wore an actual leather jacket, both of which pleased me. I wrung my lycra shirt and waited patiently for the bloody eliminations to begin…
