So You Think You Can Dance - Finale Next week!

Contains Spoilers... If you haven't watched this week's results show and want to be surprised, don't read any further!




Tonight, 2 more dancers were eliminated. Cat called the 3 girls to the stage:

Chelsie Hightower

Courtney Galiano

Katee Shean

At the beginning of the season, I predicted that Kourtni and Courtney or Chelsea and Chelsie would be in the finale. When Kourtni Lind and Chelsea Traille were eliminated, that was out of the question. I thought there might be a possibility of Courtney and Chelsie going to the finale, but when I really started paying attention to Katee and realized how amazing she was, I knew I wanted her in the finale. It would be a tough call. (I voted for Courtney last night, in case you're wondering.) After showing clips from last night's show, the first girl was sent to safety...

Katee


After the break, we learned that the girl joining her in the finale would be...

Courtney!

I loved all 3 of them and would have been happy with any outcome. I felt the same way about the 3 guys.

Twitch

Joshua

Mark

I changed the channel at this point to watch a little bit of one of my other Thursday night shows, so I missed the order in which Cat announced who was safe, but I do know that the guys going to the finale are:

Joshua and

Twitch

I really any of the 4 of them winning. I love all of them. Also, the little kid that danced on tonight's episode was adorable!

I think Adam Shankman might be one of my favorite judges. Also, he announced tonight that part of the prize for the winner will be a role in the movie that he's currently producing.

So You Think You Can Dance- Top 18- Results.

I want to start by saying that Kherington and Twitch's routine choreographed by Jean Marc Genereaux to "A New Day" by Celine Dion last night was PHENOMENAL. Jean Marc dedicated the routine to his daughter who is sick. During tonight's results, they showed a clip of Jean Marc thanking Kherington and Twitch, telling him that his daughter would love it.

It was a beautiful performance. Mia Michaels commented that she thought Kherington's smile throughout the routine was inappropriate. Mary (or maybe it was Nigel) pointed out that Jean Marc choreographed the piece to make his daughter smile, ergo, it was completely appropriate for Kherington to smile the way that she did. I agree. They were my favorite performance last night. Here's a vdeo clip from youtube. I can't stop watching this! The look on Mary's face at the end says it all. It reminds me of the look on Paula's face after David Archuleta sang Imagine for the first time during 1970s week.

Kherington & Twitch - Viennese Waltz:



Go Twitchington!

In Rickey's pool at www.funofficepools.com, (that's Rickey of Rickey.org fame) I picked Comfort and Chris as the two dancers going home tonight.

Now, on to the results!

Safe

Kherington & Twitch
Kourtni & Matt
Katee & Joshua
Courtney & Gev
Chelsie H & Mark
Jessica & Will

The bottom 3:

Chelsea T & Thayne
Susie & Marquis
Comfort & Chris

Going Home:

Susie and Marquis

It's really too bad, because I was really starting to like them. Rickey put it best when he commented on Nigel breaking Marquis' heart. We love you Marquis! He kind of reminds me of Marco from Degrassi. Just a thought.

Another thing that I noticed is that the guys seem to be taking it harder than the girls when they get voted off. That's just an observation.

SYTYCD- Top 20- First Round of Eliminations.

This is the first season that I've watched So You Think You Can Dance. I'm already hooked. This is good, because it gives me another ridiculous show to watch now that American Idol is over til next January.

And now... on with the results!

I don't know how it works for the finale. Is it 2 couples or 2 single dancers? I'm still hoping for a Courtney/Kourtni or a Chelsea/Chelsie finale, but if they do it by couples, then that idea is out. I'm a big fan of Kherington too, so maybe this double name finale idea is just my American Idol obsession coming through.

I wonder if the fans of the dancers will get cool nicknames like "Archeys", "Word Nerds", and "Fanesha 300"

First Post!

Welcome to my Pop Culture blog! Here, you will find reviews and recaps of reality/entertainment shows (American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, etc), comments on various aspects of current pop culture and blasts from the past (such as, reviewing/discussing favorite childhood tv shows and books!). I'll also be posting anything else that comes to mind. (I take requests too!)

I plan on adding some snark to my posts as well, because who doesn't love a good dose of snark?

To start us off, here is the Top 20 for Season 4 of So You Think You Can Dance:

Courtney Galiano

Chelsea Hightower

Susie Garcia

Chelsea Traille

Kourtni Lind

Joshua Allen

Stephen “Twitch” Boss

Kherington Payne

Rayven Armijo

Matt Dorame

Thayne Jasperson

Marquis Cunningham

Mark Kanemura

Comfort Fedoke

Jamie Bayard

Chris Jarosz

Jessica King

William Wingfield

Gev Manoukian

As of right now, my favorites are Kourtni Lind and Kherington Payne. I have to wonder though, how would our friends down at 19 Entertainment (Nigel Lythgoe, I'm looking at you!) feel about a Kourtni/Courtney or a Chelsea/Chelsea finale? This would be especially entertaining if all the DVRs in America cut off like they did during the American Idol finale. "...and the winner is.... DAVID..." *click*

"...the winner of So You Think You Can Dance Season 4 is.... CHELSEA..." *click*

Just a thought. Enjoy the blog. :)
