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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am skipping to exclaim: Midnight Star! I love this album.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

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

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.

New SYTYCD game: name the Worst Dance Ever, off the top of your head. We've seen a lot of sad quicksteps and snore-worthy Viennese waltzes, but hands down the biggest train wreck I can think of is the Mark and Kherington cowboy-themed Western Swing, or whatever that was. Anybody remember that horror? Mark was game, but Kherington was Terrible, and kept missing handoffs.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I'm with Kathy. That has to be the top 10 WORST. Doriana and Tyce have had some poopers, and Dan Karaty had some bad hip hop, but I cannot remember them as vividly as that Russian folk dance.
