I'm sorry, but Chelsie is a hellova lot better Latin dancer the MM.

Although I did realize watching Mary & Dimitri how close the feet and legs should be in that dance. Wow.

Where's Danny's $50K? Or Donyelle's? Melody's anyone? I like Katee as much as the next person, but the whole premise of the show is that you have one winner.

Maybe they gave it to her for all the work she had to do tonight. How many of the favorite dances included her? It seemed like half. Thank goodness it was at least Joshua who won, although I was sad to see him take the God route.

Loved seeing dancers from former seasons. But the years have not been kind to Allison.

Argh. Something went wrong with my recording, and I missed about 1:15-1:50 of SYTYCD. What happened after the Rabbitt dance? I know who won, but I missed the Katee stuff.

Megan, if you still have it Tivoed, can we watch it on Saturday or something?

My DH was hogging the computer during SYTYCD so I couldn't watching and post. This morning I'm still happy for Joshua. My other lingering thoughts seem to be: 1-Li'l C and Debby Allen and even Adam Shankman are so much more entertaining to listen to at this point, please go away Nigel and Mary. 2-I love Mark. It's as if he looked at dancing, and said, "I can do that better my way!" instead of so many other dancers who look and say "I can do that better!" 3-They need to make sure they never, ever lose Cat. She's kind of fabulous at running this show with the personal touch. I somehow don't think we viewers would become so invested in them if we didn't get some of that from her.

That rabbit dance was absolutely brilliant. During the dance-o-past-contestants I had trouble identifying some of the women -- to much dark hair being flung around.

This. I love to mock her clothes, but Cat, herself, is made of awesome.

Okay, this rabbit thing? A little on the creepy side. More than a little, actually.

not since Donnie Darko have rabbits been as creepy.

i'm really glad Joshua won. out of the four, he was my favorite.

yes. I used to be meh about her (and kind of resented the fact that she only got the job because she's pretty and blond - just Nigel's type), but she really is great at hosting. Her stylist sometimes forgets to take their meds, but I now love her.

The fact that Cat is not nominated for the best reality show host Emmy is criminal! There is none better, not even Phil. (Phil is still the sexiest though!)
