I Like...THE BEST SHOW IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD

Yes, it is the best show in the history of the world. That is NOT an exaggeration in the least. So You Think You Can Dance is amazing and it has made the world a better place and don't no one argue with me. Haha. But really, it's such an inspirational show, and as I've confessed in previous ramblings, I am completely and pathetically obsessed with it.

Last night was the first episode with real dancing, where the Top 20 performed in pairs for the first time. Granted, I am no dance expert (despite what my know-it-all comments and strong opinions about various routines might suggest), but it seems like this is one of the strongest Top 20 groups we've seen so far on this show (plus the judges keep saying that, so I'll just repeat it). But seriously, I was REALLY impressed last night. There was really only one routine that was just kind of meh for me, the bland hip hop routine by the hip hop dancer who should have made it a hip hop sensation but was just meh.

Here are my favorite routines from last night:

A non-meh hip hop routine by Jeanine and Phillip (Napoleon and Tabitha are geniuses, by the way):


The beautiful Foxtrot that Brandon and Janette pulled off so effortlessly:


And the contemporary routine that Melissa and Ade danced to the admittedly cheesy Richard Marx song of my middle school years...but it was gorgeous.


So far, no favorites for this season. It usually takes me a while to really get attached to someone, but I think Ade, Brandon, Jason, Janette, Kayla, Phillip, Asuka, and Caitlin all have great potential.

Predictions for bottom three girls: Paris (for her meh hip hop routine), Ashley (because despite his obvious talent and creativity, Wade Robson's choreography is WEIRD and out there, and most people don't connect very strongly to crash test dummies), and Asuka (because of the annoying Broadway routine she was forced to dance...really, Tyce?).

Predictions for bottom three boys: Tony (for the aforementioned meh-ness), Vitolio (seriously, that Broadway routine was dumb and I felt sad for them), and Kupono (because of the weirdness of Wade).

Who's going home? Tony and Paris.

P.S. One of these dudes, I forget which, started dancing when he first saw this show, i.e. 4 YEARS AGO!!! IT'S NOT TOO LATE, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!
P.P.S. yes, I do vote. Don't hate.
