My Favorite Dances

Every year, in the finale, the judges choose their favorite dances from the season for the dancers to re-perform.  Before I watch tonight's finale, I thought I would play a little "If I Chose the Favorites."  I have to say, there were A LOT to choose from, and narrowing it down was not easy.  So here they are...

Top 4 Perform

Tonight, no one gets eliminated!  So much joy!  So much dancing!  So much...Paula?

We also have two power couples in the top 4.  Normally there's a certain amount of couples that get fans and make it through together, but I think this is the first time that the two boys and two girls in the top were paired at the start.

Top 6 Perform

Well, I am hustling to get all these blog posts in before the finale.  So without further ado...

The Top 6...

Top 8 Perform

This week, the all-stars are the choreographers!  What madness! What nostalgia!  What fun!

All-Stars representing their season.

Top 10 Perform

And now that we've hit that oh-so-important Top 10 - which guarantees who will go on tour - it's time to bring in some all-stars!  We've got sparkle, we've got drama, we even have rocking chairs.

This...is So You Think You Can Dance...

Top 12 Perform

So many great dances this week, it's hard to choose a favorite!  I mean, when Cat Deeley's outfit is my least favorite part of the show, you know the dancing has got to be good.

Up next, after the break...

Important Update

LeAnn just informed me of the most glorious youtube video ever.

You may know that SYTYCD alumni and all-stars Twitch and Allison are engaged.  You may have noticed them in the Windows Surface commercial that was choreographed by Christopher Scott.  You may have noted that that commercial is much better than the actual Surface.  Well, actually, I'm the only one who knows that, because no one actually bought a Surface.

BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT TWITCH PROPOSED TO ALLISON ON THE SET OF SAID COMMERCIAL????

This is the best thing ever.  Thank you, LeAnn, for improving my world.

Top 14 Perform

Well, this was a fairly mediocre week in So You Think You Can Dance history, and then I lost my blog post.  So be prepared for a downer of an update this week.

More of Anna Kendrick's boobs after the break…

Frustration

Finished my Top 14 blog post and when I tried to fix the font, ended up accidentally deleting the whole thing.  So I'm going to go to bed now.  If anyone has an RSS feed of the post and would like to send it to me, I would very much appreciate it.  It showed up for about one minute. :(

Top 16 Perform

It's a bad week for the untrained dancers and a good week for ridiculous costumes.  And Carley Rae Jepsen, could you judge me maybe?

The dancers start out as red aliens, but...

Top 18 (17) Perform

It's a (yellow big) bird...it's no shame...it's Paula Abdul!  And with not one guest judge, but two, the question is will we have time for any dancing between all that talking?

To cast your vote for the prettiest, tallest blonde, text CAT to 1-800-GO-HER or ERIN to 1-800-GO-HER.  Or something like that.

Top 20 Perform Again (Two Eliminated)

We have our first elimination, a terrible way of making everyone uncomfortable, and a sexy Cat.  All that and more are ahead...it's So You Think You Can Dance!

Top 20 Perform

And the competition is underway!  We are introduced to the partners, see them dance outside their style, and we get to vote at the end of it.  What's not to love?

Welcome, To So You Think You Can Dance...

Meet the Top 20

We are back in the SYTYCD Theater and ready to get the "real" season started.  Please note that while I enjoy auditions and Vegas week, nothing compares to the actual competition.  It didn't seem worth it to invest a blog post for auditionees we might only see one time.  So I'm starting now, when the fun really begins.

Welcome Back Blog

Well, my last So You Think You Can Diana blog was shut down when Posterous closed its doors.

So here we are, back for Season 11!

Why do I have this blog?  Well, because enough family members wanted to discuss my thoughts on the latest episode that it seemed more time-efficient to post it online and let them browse at their leisure.  Feel free to add your comments and state your favorites.
