Not that the world needed yet another fan blog about a TV show, but after a very interesting Season 7, I felt more convinced than ever that this show would benefit from having a judge on its panel each week who is merely a fan - not a choreographer, producer, or Hollywood bigwig. The Judges (capital "J" when referring to The Main Trio) might find themselves a bit more in tune with the audience if they actually ever bothered to ask why the audience votes the way it does. So, to be purely self-serving and egomaniacal, I have appointed myself "the SYTYCD Fan Judge" (until such time as the show appoints one), and with that, here is yet another fan blog about a TV show...

Season 7 - The End Draws Near

I'm on vacation, but SYTYCD is never too far from my thoughts (well, it was pretty far from them this morning while I was lying on the beach, but...). As we wind down one of the weirdest - and most injurious - seasons to-date, let's reflect a little: What was your favorite moment of the season? Your personal favorite dancer? Choreographer? Routine?

In reverse order, I think...I think I have too many favorite routines to pick just one; at a minimum, I'm going to reserve the right to see some of them danced again in the final show recap before making up my mind. Choreographer? Travis Wall, with Stacey Tookey running a very close second. Personal favorite dancer? Hm. I've got a soft spot for Billy Bell, but there's just something about Kent that I think is just irresistible. I just wanna tweak his cheeks like a visiting aunt, y'know? And favorite moment? Many as there are to choose from, this one is a vivid standout: when Cat called the judges out for their hypocrisy in criticizing Adechike's Bollywood number after giving Jose's equally poor (and considerably less physically challenging) performance a smiling pass. I was so proud of her for speakin' up! 'Cause let's face it, the rest of us were thinkin' the same thing.

How about you?
