So there are many of you who loyally watch these shows and, like me, make continual comments to the television whether anyone else is in the room or not. Alternately, there are many of you who do not have the time to keep up with reality TV – there are too many shows, your tivos runneth over, you have kids and can’t remember what it’s like to watch anything beyond Dora the Explorer (you know who you are) – but you also want to be “in the know.” That’s fine. Let me help you understand.

So You Think You Can Dance: Forever Your Girl

Okay, so I have seriously missed Paula Abdul. Say what you want about her antics and possible sobriety, but I just love her. She was a welcome guest judge on this week’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance. I thought a Mary/Paula combination might make the stage explode, but all seemed to be well in the end.
The bigger news of the episode, however, was the eliminations did not happen at the very beginning of the show (thaaaaaank you). They did announce the bottom three guys and bottom three girls when the episode started, but they at least allowed all of the performances to happen before delivering the news. For the guys, Jade had to say goodbye due to an injury, leaving BluPrint and Curtis breathing sigh of relief. The ladies at risk were Alexis, Jenna and Jasmine Mason…with Jasmine heading home. I’m honestly surprised and incredibly disappointed that Jasmine’s journey is over. I thought she was so talented and mesmerizing to watch, and I absolutely preferred her to Alexis and Jenna.
On Tuesday the remaining 16 contestants perform again, hoping to make it through the initial announcement of the bottom six. My post will again be delayed, and I apologize. It truly feels strange to not be on a couch glued to the TV for each episode the night it airs…but thankfully internet allows me to see the episodes when I can. We’ll find out which 14 dancers make it through shortly. Til then!
