My goodness, compare this Courtney and Will samba to the much weaker Jeannine and Ade. Oh, Will! [link]

Watching that, it just occurred to me: How awesome would an all-star SYTYCD be?

So, so awesome. I have been dreaming of an all star SYTYCD. And we're at the perfect point now, 5 seasons in. You could get four dancers from each of the first five seasons. For every season but this one, I think it would be really hard to pick just 4, though. On first thought, I'd probably choose:
S1: Blake, Artem, Ashley and Kamilah
S2: Travis, Jason, Allison and Natalie
S3: Pasha, Danny, Anya and Shauna
S4: Will, Mark, Chelsie and Katee
S5: Brandon, Ade, Janette and Jeanine
Not a hip hopper in the bunch. Huh. And there have been some really good ones. Jamile and Josh, even Dom I liked until I didn't like him. Sarah for the girls. Oh, well.
I've also been dreaming of a fan favorite choreography episode. Have the dancers do some of the classic favorite routines from seasons past. Maybe not the whole season, but once they start doubling up on dances, have them do one new piece and one SYTYCD classic piece. I think it would be really interesting to see new dancers trying to interpret some of the best pieces from seasons past.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Sarah could do anything and got robbed by...what's her name.
And where the hell is Sabra, they never even mention her?

I will be in the house for the SYTYCD finale on Tuesday . . . yes, I will! So ridiculously excited. I can't even explain it.

Good list Kat. I don't remember Jason or Shauna though.
Were you assuming winners wouldn't compete? If not, mine would probably be:
S1: Blake, Artem, Ashlé, Melody (although enough with the leg already)
S2: Travis, Benji, Allison, Heidi
S3: Pasha, Danny, Sabra, Lacey
S4: Will, Mark, Chelsie, Katee
S5: Brandon, Ade, Janette, Jeanine
I didn't really like Danny, but the guys were really weak in S3. And I really liked Courtney by the end of S4, but how could I pick her over Chelsie or Katee? Joshua/Mark was sort of a toss up, both so different.
Looking at past seasons, I think the biggest final four crimes were Allison, Will, and maybe Janette.

"We have trust issues." Mylar
I like your list. And yeah, I tried to steer away from winners, so no Benji and no Joshua which just killed, but they've been to the mountaintop already. I feel you on the S4 girls. I was actually between Katee and Courtney (because I could never give up Chelsie. The feet!) Same thing with S2 girls, I went with Allison and Natalie, but that means I left off Donyelle and Heidi. The horror!
I didn't really like Danny
I see the words but I have no idea what they mean. He's my absolute favorite dancer from any and every season of this show. Just breathtakingly beautiful.
I would love to see a Danny, Will, Blake, Travis, Brandon group dance. Throw in the ballet boy who couldn't get out of his Miami City Ballet contract for this season, and I think I might die of happiness.
