So You Think You Can Blog?

Well, the finale of So You Think You Can Dance is upon us. And I haven't blogged about the show in weeks. What can I say? I've been a little preoccupied (the Big Giant Event is coming up in about six weeks), plus I'm just not that into this season. I really don't know why....the talent is outstanding, the choreography is good, and at least SOME of the guest judges have been insightful, entertaining, or both.

Anyway, rather than trudge through a couple of pages of recap, I'll just throw out a couple of important points and go watch The End on my beloved Tivo:

1. Melanie is the best dancer. That's been clear from as early as the audition round (see my blog post from the beginning of the season). I don't know what it is about her, but she has that extra "something" that makes her special to watch.

2. That being said, I find myself headed toward the "play" button leaning just more than slightly toward Team Sasha. She is also an outstanding dancer, and has more personality. Besides, there is so much emotion in her dancing.

3. Honestly, I don't care that much who wins. I'm just looking forward to all the dancing (top 20 return, maybe some All-Stars?) tonight; the final result is only barely relevant. Nobody could win that would disappoint me; nobody could lose that would inspire me to throw something at the tv. Where is the villain? You know, that dancer who's REALLY GOOD but just not likable for some reason? The finale loses something for me if I'm not really hoping for a certain dancer to win, or at least hoping a certain one doesn't.

4. What's up with the Hot Tamale Train this season?  Aside from that one week with lots of train sounds (thank you, Divine Miss Mary), there hasn't been much talk about this transport's passengers. Surely some have been deserving? I couldn't even find a list of those inducted into the Tamale Hall of Fame this season. Granted, I didn't look very hard, but still....

Anyway, I'm off to watch. And I'll try really really hard to find time to blog/comment/complain about the show.  Enjoy!   :)
