So You Think You Can Dance 2008 recap: The Top 16 results

Was anyone surprised by last night’s results show? Not me. I really feel that the right people were sent home so I don’t have many complaints. I do have an issue with host Cat Deeley though. This may all stem from my alter ego as a fashion blogger so just indulge me. Someone fire her stylist ASAP!

Week 3 of the competition and I already have my favorite couples picked, do you? Although as a bedazzled- glamour-shots Mary Murphy commented, this season does seem a bit more equal on the playing field than last season. Most dancers are performing very well and giving a high level of effort each week but that doesn’t mean a few of them haven’t grabbed a seat on my own personal “hot tamale train” already.

Results time people, are you ready? I was keeping my fingers crossed this whole time for you-know-who to get cut and I was not disappointed by any means but more on that later.

Shane Sparks!! Where have you been? Oh, how I miss him and his assured smile. They didn’t even flash to him in the audience, which makes me think he must be really busy with MTV’s Dance Crew and we won’t be seeing much of him this season.

Well dear SYTYCD watchers, we’ve arrived at week two of competition! For me, it’s making the long hot summer much more enjoyable and taking some of the bore out of my pregnancy bed rest. If only I could get off the couch and try to copy some of the dance moves like I usually do. I bet you’d all pay to see that, huh?! Anyway, let’s recap the couples from last night’s performances.

Let’s start with some housekeeping before we get to the actual results of which guy and girl left the show. First of all, the opening dance was crazy cool. Wade Robson never has disappointed me as a choreographer. Although, I was a little bummed he did not do his normal new age peace bow when they flashed the camera on him. Darn! But it was fun to see all the contestants together and of course Nigel being kidnapped by them.

Wow! I am so impressed with this season’s Top 20. I was very surprised that out of all the pairings and dance numbers, there was not a single huge train wreck. Needless to say, this made it extremely hard to pick my favorites!

First, let’s recap the couples and their dances:

Can you believe we already know our Top 20 dancers? They really keep things moving on So You Think You Can Dance! It was a jam packed episode and if it felt like a whirlwind for us viewers, I can’t imagine what it was like for the competitors.

We’ve made it to the last stop on this year’s So You Think You Can Dance audition trail- Milwaukee, WI. And tomorrow brings the Vegas round, where 200 dancers will be whittled down to our Top 20! I am so excited to see who they will be and get started with the actual competition.

In my opinion, the competitive element of SYTYCD is the best of all the reality shows out there. Real talent, intense challenges and a desire to keep the performances current and evolving. Many other shows should take some lessons from their format!

Here we are done with another week of SYTYCD auditions and I don’t know about you but I am ready for them to be over. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun to watch the silly ones and all but it gets old fast for me. Thank goodness that after next Wednesday’s episode, we will be moving forward to the Vegas round on Thursday!

American Idol is over and that means it’s time for the only real dance competition on TV. No, I’m not talking cheeseball Dancing With The Stars, creepy Your Mama Don’t Dance or lame Step It Up and Dance (seriously how many of these shows are there?!) I’m talking So You Think You Can Dance, back for its fourth season!
