So You Think You Can Dance


I should call this show, So I Wish I Could Dance! Summer TV watching has officially begun in our house. Rob knows that when this reality show starts, I am hooked! I endure his Ultimate Fighter shows, so he endures this dance show for me. He gets a kick out of the ambiguously gay/straight dancers, the ridiculous costumes they make them wear, and how emotional EVERY single dancer is. I also think by the end he is amazed at the athleticism it takes to do some of the stuff they do. I don't see him rushing out to sign up E, but never the less-he is impressed.
This is the only time that I watch a reality show from start to finish. Fortunately they don't spend to much time highlighting the awkward, and they spend most of the time highlighting the truly talented.


I can no longer sit next to him as I watch the people strut their stuff because I end up kicking him on accident. You know how you can't help but open your mouth as you feed your baby-well I can't help but "twitch" as they dance. As a person extends their body as they leap through the air, I too strain my neck and point my toes hoping they land perfectly! I try not to, but it just happens.


The judges always pass through a good mix of trained/untrained, natural talent, and all heart dancers. It always amazes me as the weeks go on how much I start to connect with these people. They can't pretend their way through this show. If they fake it-it is apparent from the beginning. And yes-I pick up the phone and vote for my favorite dancer.


I think that everyone deep down secretly has a talent they wished they had-and my secret is out. So...I wish I could dance!

I too love, love, love this show!
Last night killed me as they traveled to their homes to announce the top 10! OMG...the drama of it all!

Q gets a good chuckle out of "the boys" and I am always commenting somthing like "Good Lord, look at her legs! I want them!"

I'm glad you watch too!
Did you watch the season with Benjie and then Lacy? By far my two favorite dancers...and then Mia Michaels, her routines are amazing! Oh, and I do love Napolian and Tabatha too - they are awesome coreographers!

I guarantee Sharkeez never saw moves from me like these guys...I wish I could dance TOO!

I am totally imagining you kicking and pointing your toes while watching this show :) So funny!

I'll admit that I've never given this show a fair shot. You've convinced me that I should watch. I do love a good reality show/competition!

Oh, and by the way, I've seen your moves, and you can dance! :)
