So You Think You Can Dance?
the show.... talk about it here!
and the american judge that was a guest drives me up the wall...
thank god she isnt a regular
G.
I missed it, as well as last nights show. Thank God for the internets... I'm D/L'ing them now!!
G.
and i'm glad steph got booted... she doesnt seem to be able to do very well at any genre other than her own!
OMG u serious? he's a sleaze and didnt shave his chest very well last night! hahaah
yeah ditto on that - although it wouldnt of surprised me if they booted Laura as well
i was very suprised that rhiannon and JD were not in the bottom 3... but i
I think Laura and Anthony will go next week
I love Rhys and Jemma.. i reckon they have a real chance of winning!
I'm happy with the judges decision to kick out Stephanie and Marko, but I'm a bit pissed off that Australia voted enough to keep JD out of the bottom 3.. he fkd up both weeks now.. and IMO should have been kicked out the other week not Hilton.. that was the WORST decision made by the judges so far!!
Hehe.. i totally agree. he is HOT!! *droolz*
yeah ditto on that - although it wouldnt of surprised me if they booted Laura as well
He isn't a sleaze. he just gives off that impression because of his confidence and the fact that he does ballroom! Ballroom dancers always appear sleazy!
i was very suprised that rhiannon and JD were not in the bottom 3... but i
Gotta love Australia and the sympathy vote!
not ALL ballroom dancers look sleazy, I work with a couple and they are downright NORMAL!
maybe that is why I dont like Henry - not so much as he is sleazy, I think he is over confident.
ok Celeste we get the point - Hilton shouldnt of been voted off!!
hey BTW how are people voting? do you use txt or phone?

PS: HILTON SO SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN KICKED OFF... I DEMAND A VOTER RECOUNT!!!
ditto on what u said Kez
I did start to watch it
they pick it randomly!
they need to learn to pick better
But Rhys likes boys so why on earth would us girls be swooning over him? It's a waste of time and energy... He wears more eyeshadow than I EVER have.
Henry FTW
ALSO! In regards to the JD Rhiannon thing, I watched the routine and it's funny cuz it looked like she stuffed it up. If she hadn't been such a stuck up bitch and let HIM lead like boys are SUPPOSED to, they probably wouldn't have had the trouble. Of course he's going to forget the routine if she's leading when he's meant to.
I really, really want Vanessa to be kicked out which means I have to stop voting for Henry which SUCKS!!!

a voter recount won't help babe. Public votes put them in the bottom three couples. then the judges choose who to send home.

G.
i agree with you there.. it was like SHE was throwing him around the dancefloor at one point
G.
G.
Caught the end with the quick reminders of how ppl danced but the TV was muted (at a restaurant) and they all just looked funny...
I think I wanna start taping it then watching it later on mute for a good laugh
G.
I just heard this morning that Laura and JD got kicked out?
laura and sermsah
Vanessa was breathtaking.. her solo was so beautiful.. admittedly she annoys the crap out of me, but she is such a beautiful dancer!!
Unfortunately i think Jemma will not survive to far beyond where she is now.. she worked brilliantly with Rhys, but i think that he was making her look better then what she is!
Yeah Jemma with Anthony - she is gone
Rhiannon annoys the crap out of me - wish Bonnie (again) would STFU and stop over inflating her over inflated precious ego - then again she has Henry (put your shirt back on weiner boy) so they are both massive egos!
both of them crying was sickening - seriously that ruined a good dance routine
I'm a fan of Henry's, but I thought him crying at the end of their performance was fake.
rhi and henry worked well together!!!
i think jemma and anthony will be leaving tonight!!
i seriously think Jack is in with a chance of winning!!! he rocks!
I think the crying was for reals, it still annoyed me cuz I knew ppl would get the wrong impression... Having done lots of acting I know from experience that if you throw yourself into a role it can be very hard to separate your own emotions from the ones you take on. It annoyed me more that he kept kissing her though, grrr....

actually most of them were!
i enjoyed vanessas though
I voted for Rhys!
henry's solo was just bad.. i didn't get it and i agree with kez - lots of cape flapping
As for the whole him being cocky thing, even the judges said last night that it's all for show, in real life he's quite an introverted and withdrawn person.
I think Rhys will go far regardless of this competition, we were watching him at work this morning on the TV show Fairies
G.
twas an attempt at humour Em - the fact that Henry lately always has his shirt of (looks like a leaf) and that I think he is very robotic.!
maybe this thread should be changed to the Henry fan club thread cuz there is an awful lot of Henry this and Henry that!
Seriously peoples Jack, Graeme (spelling?) and Rhys are far better than Henry - hope gym boy gets voted off tonight (yeah I know his name is Anthony)

they may be ballroom dancers but once the competition has finished they won't be doing ballroom dancing if they have won!!
I knew it would be those two! Unfortunately Jemma just wasn't able to pull out the goods when it was needed. pitty coz i quite liked her!
On the males side it was a hard one! Anthony's solo was brilliant, and i think he did a good job of this partnered dance too.. i think it was a matter of to many great male dancers!
AUSTRALIA HAS VOTED!
and here I thought I would go a day without hearing Henry - thanks Em!
was it a clever ploy by Henry to keep himself on the show - isnt the first time a contestant in these reality shows has used a sympathy vote!
I think he was actually just trying to impress the choreographer... or the judges or something.
In other news...
did anyone else get the impression that Natalie Bassingthwaite has a thing for Anthony?

and how short is she compared to Delta
as for henry!! he wasn't even crying!! they were FAKE SOBS!!! w*nker
I missed the whole show so i guess it was lucky me by the sound of it!
And also can't wait for the boy boy dances and the girl girl dances... they were good in th US version.
G.
He was seen on a date with Priscilla Presley tho tsk tsk...

G.
I never said he wasn't talented
yeah gotta agree with you Celeste - and Kate is so damn sexy! *wants to touch the heeiinneeee*
Rhys did rather well too despite being partnered with ballet Vanessa - her eyes have no soul...
Jason (the judge) should get over Rhiannon.
Hopefully Henry is voted off tonight! *fingers crossed*
Rhys always does a good job i think he was a bit let down by his partner this week tho.. I thought Vanessa's west side story dance was good, but agree with the judges that she lacked that passion and fire the routine really needed!
I'm not sure who out of the guys' will go.. but please not Jack or Rhys!!
From the girls.. i think it might be Demi or Vanessa's time to leave.
they were both paired with their match.
tonight i think its time to go for Henry and Vanessa...
and what annoys me the most, is Vanessa did that hip hop routine! and she so fukin shit! yet the judges commended her because she is a ballett dancer doing hiphop!!! who cares!! all the dancers are dancing out of their genre! don't just commend her!!! she's as boring as bat shit now cos she tries to pull the innocent act all the time!
as for henry! his house routine was disgraceful! but demi was just as bad!
Oh yeah SHUT THE FRAK UP BONNIE
Yeah.. Bonnie is really irritating! but then again, so is Matt Lee a lot of the time.. the two of them tend to give opinionated criticism which don't really help the dancers! The dancers really don't care if you say .. oh i didn't like this.. etc.. they need constructive criticism.. like, you need to extend your arm here and point your toes more etc, or like in Vanessa's case, you need to put more passion into the routine..
yeah that is where Jason really excels. He gives great feedback.
next week Kate and Graeme will go, leaving Demi, Rhiannon, Jack and Rhys as the top 4.
I'm putting my votes behind Jack & Rhys now.
G.
because I can see into the future celeste.
I'm putting my votes behind Jack & Rhys now.
G.
err... isn't that what I said? Henry and Vanessa will go tonight...
it'll be close between he and Rhys....

loved Rhys sailor's outfit - too funny!
Posted by: ~Em~ Apr 7 2008, 09:48 PM
i thought it was cute ![]()
Posted by: KandiRaver Apr 7 2008, 10:35 PM
So Henry & Rhiannon are out!?!.. i missed the show!
I have to say i agree.. upset it wasn't Demi or Vanessa.

I have to say i agree.. upset it wasn't Demi or Vanessa.
serious Celeste? I think Demi is doing well as the only dancer not professionally trained.
She is definitely no Kate though...
Posted by: ~Em~ Apr 8 2008, 10:37 AM
Now that Rhiannon is gone, I reckon Demi will be the last standing female.
Posted by: 455Pontiac Apr 8 2008, 11:01 AM
ooohh big call - I think Kate has the edge over Demi and Vanessa. Her dancing performances were brilliant with Jack. It will close as to see whether it is Vanessa or Demi to go next.
Jack definitely has the edge on the guys ATM.
Posted by: ~Em~ Apr 8 2008, 11:29 AM
Kate's an exceptional dancer, no doubt. BUT remember, this is australia's FAVOURITE dancer, not BEST dancer.
Demi has the personality, character and charm that has the nation captivated.
Posted by: Kez Apr 8 2008, 11:38 AM
yeh... i still hope kate it the last female standing though ![]()
vanessa will be sure to go next week ![]()
and graham too ![]()

*dances*
YES
I think I can dance ![]()
Posted by: KandiRaver Apr 14 2008, 04:12 PM
Vanessa has to be the one going tonight.. she just hasn't brought it up to the required standard.. i voted for Kate coz i liked what she did in the girls group dance.. i didn't vote for anyone else coz i missed the rest of the show.
Posted by: Gabtron Apr 16 2008, 04:19 PM
Go Jack for #1 yay! ![]()
G.
Posted by: KandiRaver Apr 21 2008, 01:45 PM
WOW WOW WOW!!! Jack and Kate.. absolutely mind blowingly brilliant!!! they both get my vote!! ![]()
Posted by: Kez Apr 21 2008, 02:00 PM
i thought kate and demi were as boring as bat shit... apart from the dance kate did with jack!
those guys are gunna be hard to choose between!
Posted by: KandiRaver Apr 28 2008, 01:31 PM
Woot.. JACK won!!! He's a brilliant dancer... he's got great charisma about him! It's not suprising at all!!
I think Rhys and Kate did well too...
They sure as hell know how to drag out a show don't they!! ![]()

So You Think You Can Dance - Australia's Favourite Dancer is Reveled
A full-on group routine kicks off the real action of the night starring the entire top 20, and then some. Courtney! Hilton! And the rest! Awww, I missed you guys! Well... not really. Then the actual judges join the dance, and it's the most ridiculous moment of this entire show yet also the most awesome. Best. Group. Routine. Ever!
Nat Bass struts on stage in a slinky black number, horrible shoes and a bucketload of make-up. After a bit of jibber-jabber she introduces the judges for the last time: Matt wears the ultimate hat, Bonnie blows the ultimate kiss, and Jason gives a dumbest peace sign. I will not miss that.
After more padding... I mean, recaps of previous episodes, the Tap Dogs bang on the stage with their shoes for a few minutes.
Nat recaps the events of top 100 week. This type of segment is what we in the industry refer to as "shameless filler". For some reason a bunch of the top 100 rejects are then allowed to come onstage and do a stupid robot dance. Next!
The kids from the Billy Elliot stage musical show off their stuff, and then Nat announces the winner of So You Think You Can Dance. Just kidding! She cuts to another recap: a montage of the first half of the finals.
The top 10 perform another group routine. Ha, the bottom 10 got so barred. Not that it isn't an impressive number, but I think I prefer the big routines with a silly amount of dancers. Afterwards Nat announces the top 10 will tour the country in July - pfft, as if we'll care about them by then!
The final four come out and demonstrate exactly how they made it this far in the competition. Demi actually stuffs up a lot of moves (oops!), and not surprisingly, she's the first to be booted from the competition.
Next the show revisits some of the judges' favourite routines, including Marko and Steph's costume disaster, Camilla and Sermsah's martial arts-inspired number, Anthony and Laura's disco boogie, JD and Rhiannon's tango, and Henry's shirtless jungle samba with Vanessa. Thank you for re-waxing your chest, Henry.
Well, that was a fun way to fill half an hour.
Damien Leith performs next, proving that it is possible to stay in the spotlight after winning a reality competition, and he's accompanied by Caleb the Wunderkind from episode one. God, can this show please get over this kid already? He's even given some prize for being amazing, or something.
Nat lines up the final three. Kate is out, unsurprisingly - we've known for weeks it'd come down to Jack and Rhys. Afterwards, the very beautiful Leona Lewis performs 'Bleeding Love' so flawlessly I can't decide if she's miming or just a really great singer.
As the finale finally starts to wind down, Nat out drags Jack and Rhys to remind us how adorable they both are. Their final dance together is too cute - can't they both win?
Nat finally announces the winner... after another ad break, of course. Before she can read the verdict, US choreographer Mia Michaels appears in a pre-recorded message where she pretends she's been watching the show, the judges offer their final praise, my heart pounds a little, and then...
Australia's favourite dancer is... Jack! Yay! He dances an outrageously adorable victory jig as glitter tumbles down around him. A joyful top 20 rushes to hug him, as Nat promises that auditions for season two will kick off in September.
And that's the first season in the bag! What a nice (albeit bloated) ending; I couldn't be happier with the result. I hope Jack has a long and successful career - but what did you think of the finale? Too long? Not long enough? And did Jack deserve the top prize?
Thanks to everyone who's followed Alternate Reality's recaps of Dance since the show started in February. Watch this space as I cast my snarky eye across Big Brother '08...
