TV Recap: So You Think You Can Dance - And The Winner Is...
By Kelly West: 2008-08-07 22:06:29
Tonight’s big 2-hour season finale of So You Think You Can Dance was like a best of the best of the entire season. In addition to seeing video montages of the final four’s journey through the season, we also got to see footage from the auditions, which to me only served as an unnecessary (but totally fantastic) reminder of why I love this show. It’s all talent. Sure, you get plenty of the no-talent auditioners but the people who are most memorable in this show are the ones who blew our minds with their acts from the first moment they took the stage. Many of those people were present during tonight’s finale as the top twenty dancers reunited on stage for a big group number choreographed by Shane Sparks. Other filler included a performance by the tween-favorite boy-band, The Jonas Brothers. Robert Muraine and Philip Chbeeb battled against one another to see who’s poppin’ and lockin’ skills were the most buck. The majority of the judges chose Robert as the winner. Debbie Allen’s dance students took the stage for a fabulous tap routine. Nigel participated in that one and proved that in addition to having opinions, the man’s got some serious moves. Mary performed a saucy latin number that was equally as great as Nigel's performance. The episode also included various encore performances from throughout the season. The judges chose their favorites, which meant that we got to see some of the best routines this year. I don’t care that I’ve watched and rewatched many of these routines on Youtube over the course of the season, it was still great to see the dancers re-perform them. Usually by the time the first hour is up, I’m staring at the clock and wishing they’d just get on with the results but such was not the case tonight. This has been such a great season with so many excellent routines that it made this extended, drawn-out results show fly by. While four remained, only one could win. Courtney was the eliminated first and accepted her defeat with the same charm and charisma we’ve seen from her all season. To my surprise, Katee was cut after her but Cat announced that because Katee was the top vote-getter of the girls, she won $50,000. Much deserved. It came down to Joshua and Twitch and while I know my SYTYCD co-recapper Dustin was pulling for Twitch, of these two I wanted to see Joshua win this. In the end though, both guys are fantastic and will surely go places with their talent but America chose Joshua as their favorite dancer this season. If you’re a fan of Joshua, you’ll get to see him in 3D when the Adam Shankman produced film Step Up: 3D hits theaters. So what do you think? Are you happy Josh won or do you think Twitch, Katee and/or Courtney were robbed? Jump for joy or scream and rant in the comments section below!
