Good night, peoples. That was a great finale, time constraints notwithstanding. There were some really excellent numbers, and I'm so glad to have a top four (yes, I'm ignoring the diLellos, who were lovely and sweet and very pretty, but yeah.) that I really can get behind. I have no idea which of the four will win and I have no problem with it being any of them. For my own voting I finally skinned it down and it goes Russell, Kathryn, Jakob, Ellenore for me. Which is funny because I adore Ellenore and have since the start, and of course Jakob is remarkable. But when I tivo'd back, it was the Russell and Kathryn numbers that I couldn't skip. (Except the Russell & Kathryn number, oddly, for which I blame NappyTab big time.)
I did rewatch the married dance, too, because I'm a schmoop for hot married sex...err, I mean, tender married partnering. It's a nice storyline, and it's nice they made it to the final together, yadda yadda. It's bogus she made it to the final, though, and almost bogus that she made it on the show at all. I suspect I probably would have liked Ryan better without her, but I bet he wouldn't have done as well. They really seem motivated by each other.
Everyone else, though, seriously star. Agree that we were robbed of the same sex dances and solos. It really makes a big difference, and I agree that last season's pirouettes made the difference. It kinda sucks to not have your own fate in your hands for choreo, your style, your dance for the finale.
Anyway, can't wait for the results.
