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!

Jen - you took the words right out of my mouth.

Cat's dress-Lilly asked for the same dress in purple for her birthday!

Nigel-is such a perv. Can he please stop talking about Jeanine's breasts?! Dirty old man.

We get it that they didn't want Kayla and Evan to win as evidence by the mean comments from the judges and the jive i.e. kiss of death. Talk about obvious manipulation from Nigel.

Did anyone else notice the changes made to the locket dance at the end of the routine? No more sexual straddling.

Janette was robbed!!! I'm sorry, I love Jeanine, but Janette was the only girl to be able to keep up with Brandon.

Nigel is sooooo pervy! Did you see how uncomfortable Jeanine looked when he said there's no "tying down" her talent. Gross!!

Also, I did comment to Mathias about how Travis' routine looked a little more tame this time around. I love Jeanine, but I totally missed Janette!

I agree with point after point after point!

Down with the Waltz!

Down with the non-choreographing Lil' C!

Down with Nigel telling everyone he knew the results!

Down with the pervy Nigel!

And, Mind, I totally noticed the G rated locket dance without the hump. I miss that part!

Oh, and did I mention, I can't wait for the new season! I love this show!

I can't wait for Evan's brother (less cute, more grown up) and Natalie (cross my fingers) and even more importantly that too young dancer from this past season who looked a little like Zac Efron (you better be old enough and come back, because even after an audition, I remember you and have the love)!

I really think the Nygel conspiracy worked in Jeanine's favor. The last couple weeks he's been all about her and remember when he said she and Brandon would be the top two? He may not have been behind her the whole season, but he hitched the Nygel-Band-Wagon straight to her and led America to pick her. Not saying she didn't deserve it. I LOVE her.

Um, did anyone else scream at their TV when Kayla got FOURTH??? seriously? Behind Evan? So irritated by that.

Yes there was too much Louis, and there was no crumping b/c there was not a single crumping piece the whole season. This season they really catered the dances to the dancers. They kept saying "these are the best dancers we've ever had" but it's hard to compare when people in other seasons didn't dance their own genre every single time.

I totally agree with everything! Nigel's head is about to explode if it gets any bigger. And I think Mary Murphy's mouth should be muzzled next season!

I LOVE Jeanine and am so happy she won. I don't know if Natalie will come back. That was so weird when they nixed her right after she demonstrated how the dance is supposed to go. Still scratching my head about that one.???

Lex and I totally agree Jeanette was robbed. Seriously, sent home before Melisser?


BTW - Project Runway starts Thursday! Get the word out!! Can't wait for fall season SYTYCD!!

I watched the 15 best dances of all seasons of the show. I have to say, I don't understand that one with Hawk that they're calling the butterfly and the flower or something. Hummingbird and flower? It should be called "I twitch, you twitch back, we look weird". BUT, I'm so much looking forward to the new season!

Jen, do you watch Glee? It could be right up your alley-I remember how much you loved singing musical theater in drama class at Gunn.

jane maynard said...

jane maynard said...

yes, why was kayla fourth after evan? come on, america.

last question. why in the world did I let you ladies pull me into your addictive, crazy sytycd world?!?!
