I just dislike Khourtni and Matt so much
See, for me these two are just too milquetoast even to hate. They are just there. They have lovely technique, Matt moreso than Kourtni. I think she dances very heavy, no lift. But they are both so boring. They never get all the way into character, though again Matt came close in the Top 18 dance. He was very Old Hollywood glamour and got pretty close to that "happy feet" feel. So yeah, they are both just pleasant dancers who are obviously well trained and pick up choreography well. But they just have no spark, no charisma.
Yeah, there are other people I would rather see go home first. Like Jessica, and Thayne. I'm kinda starting to like Matt. I don't hate him. I'm just not a fan. And since there are many people (Twitch, Will, Joshua, Mark....) I AM a fan of, it's just not worth the energy!
I have also decided that I love Mark as a dancer, but I don't really want him to speak. He brings a maturity and intensity to his dancing that isn't apparent with many of the other dancers.
Interview with Shane - not particularly long. He talks about ABDC and SYTYCD

'Cause if you think about it, the first winner of So You Think You Can Dance, what did he do? You know what I mean?
It always makes me sad how much TPTB just crap all over S1. It's not like Benji has become a huge movie star or Sabra's in every other video out there. Nick has capitalized on winning SYTYCD as much as any of them have, teaching and choreographing and giving master classes and workshops at NYCDA, Jump, etc. Like most dancers do. These shows, whether it be ABDC or SYTYCD, are never going to create AI level stars. Dude, show S1 some love.
Heck, I even have love for S1 host Lauren Sanchez and eagerly await her turning up in about 5 more years on the latest VH-1 celeb reality train wreck and continuing that grand, Dunkelman-ian tradition.
yeah, I think Nick has said some unfortunate things since he won, but I liked S1 generally. I must admit, I think there is something about Nick though because we haven't seen him on the show very much at all while other dancers from that season have assisted choreographers, etc.
I have no hate on for Lauren Sanchez. And she could dance!
Did anybody else watch Anne Burrell's new show this morning?
SO ADORKABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sean, I'm watching it right now, and adorkable is definitely the right word.
ETA: OMG, the salt!
ETA: OMG, the salt!
Yeah, S and I were a leeeetle bit alarmed at the amount of salt Chef Anne was throwing in her food.
