No, I don't think I can dance

Posted at 12:36 AM | Filed under Television | Permalink

If my blog title was the answer, then what is the question?

As I continue to fall into my father's footsteps as a couch potato, I have to say that I'm completely addicted to Fox's So You Think You Can Dance.

For the sake of my sanity, the show will now be known as Dance.

Over the past few seasons, there has been this increasing interest for dancing. We saw fairly good runs of Ballroom Bootcamp, Dancing with the Stars, but I cannot say that I caught the previous season of Dance-- probably beacause I was still nuts about Canadian Idol.

Yes, I'm a nerd, shut up.

Yes, it's too bad I missed the first season because this show is so hot. The dancing, the performers-- hot, hot, hot.

Of all the episodes I've seen, Benji is by far my favourite, and to be honest, he totally reminds me of geeky Adam Brody-- you know how I feel about Adam Brody. I could not find footage of his witty performance of Hairspray with Donyelle-- but expect updates in the comments section if I find it. Donyelle happens to be my favourite lady.

Also, I find Ivan [pictured above, with Allison) quite something too, it's sad that I'm developing a liking of barely legal guys. Les calls me a paedophile for taking an interest for him. But in all seriousness-- aside from his cute babyface, I do believe that he's coming out of shell, and will definitely wow us in future performances.

What I don't understand is why Dmitry never gets eliminated. He's only good in his own ballroom element, and is just not as versatile as the other dancers-- and sometimes I feel that he's not giving his 110% like the others. I swear, it's just because he's "hot"-- which I suppose he is, but enough already, he just isn't that good. Musa is way better than him.

Of all the dance styles that I've seen, hip-hop is definitely the most entertaining-- seriously, if I had moves like that, I'm sure I'll be bringing home interesting phone numbers from the club, haha.

Judge Nigel Lythgoe is pretty darn awesome, he always has the something interesting to note about each performance, and I enjoy his eloquence as much as I enjoy the preformances. Mary Murphy seems to play the role of Paula Abdul-- rather more lenient and less critical, while Brian Friedman's pimpy jewel necklace on Wednesday was awfully distracting.

The host, Cat Deeley is always a delight, and I just live to see her talk. Whenever she says "judges," which she says a lot, totally gets me a little excited. Haha.

It looks like I'm going to continue to keep my tubby figure this summer-- as I will have to satisfy my dancing TV craving.

I'm off.

Told ya it 's a good show!

Although it did kinda get boring near the end of the last season, I didn't even watch the last few episodes of it.

I'm rooting for Ivan!
