So You Think You Can Dance?

**JenBKR** · 08-04-2006, 07:58 AM

I had kind of guessed that Natalie and Ivan would be the ones leaving. I like them both, but they haven't been performing as well as the rest of them lately. Everyone that's left is my favorite

so I have no idea who I want to win! I have a feeling it will be Benji though.

**RobiLee** · 08-04-2006, 08:28 AM

I was so sad last night

. I didn't want to see anyone leave. I wish they could all stay and keep on entertaning us...lol. I'm hoping for Benji or Heidi to win. I just love those two. They seem to have shining personalities and look so happy to be dancing that it makes me happy. They seem to give it all they have when they are out there on that dance floor and they have done such a remarkable job at learning all the different styles. Travis, my goodness what can you say about him...lol..that boy is flawless! Donyelle was fabulous in the 1st half of the show, but for me she has lost her edge in the last few weeks and it makes me wonder if it was Benji that made her shine so much in the beginning. *Sigh* All 4 of them are awesome and I wish they could all win. I say we have a "do over" so we can bring back all 10 girls and 10 boys and keep on watching them

. I am really going to miss this show!! I'll be waiting for Dancing with the Stars to start up next and anxiously awaiting the next season of "So You Think You Can Dance!"

I was soooooo happy to see Natalie FINALLY get voted off. God, she bugs me! I was sad to see Ivan go, though. But I don't think this is the last we'll be seeing of him. He's got some amazing talent and with a bit of training he'll go so far in the industry.

Next week is going to be nerve wracking! I don't want to see anyone that's left NOT win. Can't we call it a 4-way tie?

Judging from the response of the crowd, I think Benji has won the hearts of just about everyone.

One thing, Mia Michaels was BRUTAL last night with the girls, and with Benji. I mean, DAMN! What is her issue? Like they're not all stressed enough, we need a judge to tell them how crappy they are. I think she was totally wrong about Heidi. Heidi has proved just how versatile she is. Everything she has done, she's done brilliantly. Donyelle is basically dancing on a broken toe... I just think she was overly and unnecessarily harsh.

I can't wait for the tour.. it's coming to Phoenix, and we're ready to buy tickets as soon as they go on sale!

If you watched Mia Michaels's video that Sirrahbed posted, you will see that Mia is choreographing Celine Dion's show. The prize for winning So You Think You Can Dance this year is a one-year contract dancing in Celine's show.

Did you pay attention to Mia's critique's last night? Yes, she was brutal but she also gave a HUGE hint as to who the winner probably will be - Travis.

She criticized Benji for being too limited and praised Travis for his technical training and versatility.

Is the show fixed? Probably, but since they never post the actual voting totals, we'll never know. They're all terrific dancers and will go far in their careers.

Yes, if Mia had her way, it seems the winner would be Travis, but it is not up to the judges, so she'll have to live with whomever "America" chooses.

Of course, she might hire him anyway, after the "tour" is over, you never know, and no one ever said she'd only hire one person, as the show has multiple dancers.

I was not surprised to see Natalie and Ivan go, it was pretty predicatable. The most heartwrenching moment was seeing Allison crying and trying to smile after Natalie sent her kisses after her solo.

**sparks19** · 08-04-2006, 02:24 PM

Mia Michaels drives me nuts. I don't know why but just something about her GRRR. She had pretty much nothing but nice things to say about Ivan and I think Benji is a much better dancer AND more versatile than Ivan (even though I know Ivan has had no formal training)

I think she just thinks Ivan and Travis are hot

doesn't like ANY females and well Benji just doesn't turn her crank lol

Anyway I really think Benji is and should win it. He has been consistantly good through out the whole show. I really didn't even know Travis exsisted on the show until a couple of weeks ago. he just seems to blend into the scenery to me. He just doesn't have that spark for me.

Donyelle is apparently dancing with a broken (or near broken) toe and has been for at least 4 or 5 weeks. i think that could be the decline in her performances. I don't imagine a broken toe would get BETTER if she continued to dance on it lol. Also notice her last few performances she didn't have shoes on if she could manage it. Even during her hip hop routine last night in jeans she was barefoot. I think it is just getting too painful and I really hope she lets it rest for a while if she can.

Hiedi, what can I say. She makes weird faces but she is fantastic. She has a gorgeous body and can pull off any outfit and she has a pretty face (when she isn't making faces) and she is a GREAT dancer.

What was with her hair last night? Was she wearing a wig? It looked so weird - all big and poofy

It seems to me that Travis is more suited to the style of Celine's show yanow? I mean - as much as I LOVE Benji - I really can't see him doing that "New Day" dancing

I wonder about the outcome too. I hope it is really the voters who decide but no way to know. I always assume that TV is pretty much "fixed" - cynical eh?

Me too! I hear Lisa Rinna's hubby, Harry Hamlin, will be dancing this coming season

**JenBKR** · 08-10-2006, 09:47 AM

AAHHHH I don't think I can wait until next week to know who wins! Everyone was so terrific last night, I just love them all! I really enjoyed Benji and Travis dancing hip hop together, such a fun routine

same here, I can't wait until next week either!

**sparks19** · 08-10-2006, 11:30 AM

LOL I loved Benji and Travis too. LOL I think I voted 50 times for Benji. I had both of our cell phones and just kept hitting redial over and over on both lol.

I thought the routine Donyelle and Heidi got sucked. It wasn't their fault the choreography was just the pits.

i liked the dance they all did at the end

**RedHedd** · 08-10-2006, 01:04 PM

Yeah I know re having to wait a whole week! The finale is going to be two hours long! Geez! They're just going to drag it out - I mean I don't "mind" watching them dance again, although it will probably just be a rehash of the whole season. I wish they all could win, but I voted for Travis as many times as I could get through. Benji and Heidi's lines were busy most of the night, but I did get in a few votes for them too. Donyelle? I love her and think she's a terrific dancer. It's obvious she's in a lot of pain as her performances the last few weeks haven't been up to par. They will ALL do well from here on out.

What was with some of the choreography people this year? Some of the routines they put together were CRAP !!

I thought all those dancers were much better than the routines they were given. Sorry, just had to vent there.

I think it is unfair that only one dancer wins. They got paired up throughout the show, and like Benji and Heidi, they work together well. So if you constantly dance with a partner, HOW can just ONE win?!

Still confused over it, but then again I am blonde .....
