I could have had an entire night of Brandon/Janette myself. And I totally forgot that Asuka and Vitolio even performed that waltz last night. What a wasted pick. That one and Shankdaddy's pick of that NappyTab hip hop were just all kinds of head scratchingly wrong.
Maybe Wade's on punishment for the cheerleader routine?
I remember in the season 3 finale Sara was in 3 or 4 of the judges favorite dances! She so should have been in the top 4. *still bitter*
I'm not sure she was really top 4 material, but she was certainly one of my favorites. She also happened to be in very fun numbers.
Sara was in a lot of fun numbers. I still have a lot of love for that old school hip hop number she did with Danny. I don't care that the judges didn't like it. The t-shirts with the puffy paint? Fat gold ropes? Kangol hats? Push It? I believe they even did the worm in that routine. Shane Sparks turned it out with that one.
Yay, Jeanine!
I managed to not get spoiled by dint of not going on the internet at all for two days until I was finally able to watch late last night. Totally pleased with both the result and how it went down. Thank goodness, America!
I was equally befuddled by some of the "favorites" choices. I definitely think there were some weaker pieces this year overall, so the finale was a bit subdued. But I really enjoy seeing the dancers redo the choreography, especially with dancers like Jeanine who have blossomed so much during the process. They're a different dancer from when they started, and they bring a different energy to an established piece.
I know that the dancers want a chance to show what they do, themselves. But I wish there was room in the program for choreographed solos too. I think we would learn a lot about a dancer by how she responds to an individual choreographed piece of material.
I forgot that she was the one with the tumor in her elbow. Great interview for Jeanine here:

I think I'm actually going to enjoy the rest of the season of Big Brother.
It really makes everything better! And Jeff can get rid of Jessie this week! Or Natalie!
