SYTYCD Results Show. Was It A Woman Thing?

Joshua knew.
When Sutton Coldfield Cat announced that Katee was not going to win, Twitch draped his arm around Joshua as they walked off the stage.
Joshua didn’t drape his arm around Twitch.
Instead, he looked back around towards Katee and, I suggest, thought: “She was the best. I know she was the best. This ain’t quite right.”
Thankfully, [...]

SYTYCD Final. It Has To Be Katee. Or Not.

And so we reach the end of a very pleasant skip through the long, fragrant grass of dancing.
However, last night, a couple of the poor souls looked like they were being asked to dance through the long grass wearing diving suits, masks and flippers.
I wonder whether that will have earned them more votes of sympathy [...]

SYTYCD. So Farewell Then, Mark And Chelsie.

Hello there, Courtney, and er, Twitch. Life’s absurd, isn’t it?
As are the fickle feelings of the general public.
Was justice done? Not exactly.
But at the very least what we got from So You Thigh You Can Dance this week was dignity.
And we should be so, so grateful for that.
Chelsie, bless her dear boyish soul, was undone [...]

SYTYCD. So farewell then, Twitch and Courtney.

Oh, it’s just a headline. Well, perhaps not.
The truth is, I did find myself quite moved by last night’s So You Thigh You Can Dance dancing kings and queens.
So much effort, so little pretense, and, this morning, no memory at all of what any of the judges said.
This feels healthy.
For me, Twitch was the weakest. [...]

SYTYCD Final Eight Shock. Don’t Blame Calista Flockhart’s Mother.

And so we live through the pain again.
The pain of allowing real people out there to break hearts as they break wind. With no thought as to who might laugh, who might cry and who might die of asphyxiation.
On this week’s So You Thigh You Can Dance, justice and injustice held hands and stroked each [...]

SYTYCD Top Ten Results Show. The Moe-ment An Ego Spun Out Of Control.

Have these words ever come out of your mouth: “Did he have to? Did he really have to?”
Sometimes people do things that you know they are going to do, even though, simultaneously, you know they are going to show that part of themselves that everyone suspected was there and no one wanted to see.
So it [...]

SYTYCD July 17. A simmering sense of tragedy.

Are we all in favor of democracy now?
We, the people. Weed the people, perhaps.
As Gev and Kherington wafted off into the night with their ever tightening eyes and bottoms squeezing their disappointment shut, can one really believe that the So You Thigh You Can Dance voters chose well?
Perhaps the most obvious question is: “If Comfort [...]

Why Major League Baseball Should Fire One Of Its Senior Individuals.

There is no reason to feel sympathy for Major League Baseball.
It is, being charitable, a venal colony.
They sit in front of senators and blithely claim they knew nothing about steroids. They were so, so shocked when they discovered some of the hulks in their teams’ employ might not have achieved their corporal mass naturally.
They really [...]

SYTYCD Top Ten. The pairings begin to leak.

Oh, no.
Some site somewhere (The Pond doesn’t do links. It affects the purity of the performance here) has revealed that Courtney and Joshua will be together for this week’s So You Thigh You Can Dance.
I can imagine Gev’s rather wide pants filling with tears at this very moment.
Will it be possible for him to find [...]

SYTYCD July 10. The strangeness only gets stranger.

I never thought this was possible.
But So You Thigh You Can Dance is managing to reach heights that Nigel Lythgoe’s dentist can only dream of.
This week’s two shows were controversial because, to my disbelieving, bedazzled eyes, there was no controversy.
The weakest links were told goodbye and the strongest, most inspiring performers were given accolades that [...]
