Sweet Victory!



I totally believe the Nigel conspiracy theories, which is why this victory is so sweet! Take that, Nigel! Congratulations Jeanine! There was an article today (click here) about Jeanine that makes this victory even sweeter. Go Jeanine!

Bullets:
  • There IS a Nigel conspiracy!
  • Louis Van Amstel had way too many numbers in the judges favorites. I still hate that one waltz and don't get why there were sooooooooo many waltzes this season. Where's the crump? Cha cha cha?
  • Why on earth is Lil' C a guest judge? Did he even choreograph this season? I didn't think so.
  • Love Cat's dress! What was that green dress with the crazy hair last week?
  • Why was Mia laughing hysterically through her entire Chorus Line dance? Did anyone else see how into it Tyce was?
  • Why on EARTH did Kayla and Evan get a jive in the finale? Is this for real? Remember when they used to draw the names AND the dances from a hat? I don't believe for a second that it's still random!
  • ZZZZZZZ. . . oh, I'm sorry: the shameless plug for Fame put me to sleep!!
  • What is with Laurie Ann Gibson and her headphones?? You're trapped in the 80's; we get it already! Go hang out with Mandy Moore!
  • Still sad about Natalie going home in Vegas. Will she be back in the fall?
  • Why were they chanting Evan's name on Wednesday? Here's the reason straight from an audience member: “…the amount of criticism the judges gave Evan became torturous (they cut a lot of it from the actual show) to the point where everyone felt so bad they started chanting Evan’s name.” Yet more proof that Nigel stinks.
  • Still not enough proof that Nigel stinks? Last week Brandon reruns his audition piece and the judges give him a standing ovation. This week Evan does a variation on his audition piece and the judges call him on it.
  • Final nail in the Nigel stinks coffin? His pervy, dirty-old-man comments he's been making to Jeanine and Kayla all season. Ew!
  • What is with the massive Travis love affair? Yes, he did a great dance, but TONS of ballroom dancers have come back to the show to choreograph, too. Where's the love for my sweet Dmitry? Pasha?
Finally, I need to discuss this Nigel conspiracy of Angie's. I can't get over how he went on and on about how this show is not So You Think You Can Choreograph, but then every week he waxes poetic about the choreographers. He tells the contestants they need more personality, but doesn't let them speak or show it. He critiques the choreography and not the dancers. He practically drools in the laps of Tyce and Mia and then bags on the Russian Folk and hip hop choreographers that HE hired (remember how "disappointed" he was in hip hop this season? Where was Nappy Tabs at the finale? Were they in the audience?).

Okay, rants are over. Here is my rave: September 2nd is so close that I don't even need to reprogram my Tivo! Hurrah! See you all in a few weeks! Here's hoping that Natalie will be back to win in season 6!
