WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!

In fact, we have 2!

Miss Sabra takes the win as America's "favorite" dancer and...

Congrats to our very own Jen Romansky who's top 2 picks of Sabra and Danny as her #1 and #2 makes her the winner of our first ever SYTYCD pool.

Hats off to Danny who put up a good fight. If the competition were really America's BEST dancer, surely he would have taken the crown, but America voted for their favorite, and Sabra it was. While there is some speculation about the contest being rigged, I do believe the votes were in Sabra's favor. I love this show and can't wait until next year... hope you will all join in again!

Thanks for taking part in it... let's plan our next pool!

Top Four Performance Show!

I won't spoil wednesday's show for anyone, but I will tell you, you have a great 2 hours of tv ahead of you on wednesday night. I haven't watched today's episode where we say goodbye to Pasha (not surprised) and Lauren (surprised) but clearly I know that is what happened since myself, Matt, Caroline and Rich were lucky enough to sit 2nd row at the pre-taped performance of the final 4. It was fantastic. I have so much to say but again, don't want to spoil for all you regular viewers. I will say that sitting directly behind Travis (last year's runner up) was certainly a highlight for me. I love him and still believe he should have won last year.

Still, Rich and I posed for a picture with Benji... why not!

Matt, next year's front runner for commissioner, truly had a full day of SYTYCD. After sitting through hours of taping, he went home to do a little research on the final 4 and look at what he sent in... INTERESTING I must say, and completely disappointing if he is right.

Just checked out the SYTYCD newsgroup and if posts are any indication Neil will win the show. Here are the amount of specific posts:
Lacey 10,800
Neil 22,967
Danny 10,772
Sabra 3,037
Neil has seven times as many postings as Sabra and twice as many postings as the other two in the top four.

I really don't want Neil to win. I have my clear winner now. And I truly believe you and all of America will have the same feeling as me after Wednesday night. Hands down... there is one person who is just incredible.

Hats off to all the dancers though. Tonight we were told that since friday, they have each learned 5 dances, beginning their day at 7am and ending at midnight, with only a 1 hour break for lunch. We were told their bodies and brains at this point, are mush and they are all tired, sick and injured. It's incredible how hard they work, so for that, they all get my support.

Keep your eyes peeled for the four of us- I think we all got air time, especially Rich and I who were substitute family members of Neil. You may also see our heads popping through the sign that Sabra's mom is holding... so look closely!

I still care- I swear!

Ok, first and foremost, I must appologize for my lack of blogging. While some may think the show is less important to me now that I am eliminated (as is Jodi after last week), that is completely not true. I let work get the best of me this week and lost focus on SYTYCD. I promise that will not happen again. Especially now that we are down to 6- it's getting intense! Lucky pool players like myself, Matt, Caroline and Rich are going to next monday's taping- top 4... can't wait! But until then- we still have wednesday and thursday night to look forward to. To recap last week, we said goodbye to Sara and Dominic. With their departure we saw the last of the b-boys and b-girls on the stage. I loved both of them. Now, I think i'm fully supporting Danny and Sabra. Lauren holds a close 3rd.

Will be back tomorrow night after performances....
