Question: So you think you can dance?

I have been watching this show, now that Hell’s Kitchen is over, and I am nothing if not a reality tv monkey. I have to face up to who I am, and when I look in the mirror, I see the shamed face of a woman who loves reality tv. I can only watch one at a time though. I have learned in the past that I can’t really do two at once. It is too much of a time commitment, and I want to actually have some semblance of a life.

Anyway, I love this show. I don’t love how once in a while, they try to get some shock value by being overly insulting (I dislike Creepy Uncle Nigel), but for the most part, they keep it zipped. It’s like this show combines two of my great media loves: reality tv competition + breakdancing. There was even an instance of a dance battle in last night’s episode. Awesome. They have dancers of all sorts of different backgrounds (jazz, ballet, hip hop, break, tap, etc) going through various classes to learn different styles and to get evaluated by the instructors. They are down to the final 16 people. I think the format changes now that they are into the finals, but what do I know.

If I could instantly pick up some skill overnight, it would be breakdancing.

Seppo and I are taking tomorrow off from work. Yay! While it’s a pretty exciting idea, in reality, we’ll probably just end up taking the car into the mechanics and run some other errands. Heh.

I am in love with this show!

I was never half as good as the really good people on this show, but dammit, I miss it so much.

That’s funny – we were talking last night about how we couldn’t decide whether you’d love it, or totally hate it. I guess that answers that.

My girlfriend and I are hooked on about 7 different reality shows at the moment (luckily most of them repeat at least ten times a day and we don’t need to set our schedules to them).

My favorite of the choreographers are Dan, Brian, and Mia. I really dislike Alex and Mary.

My favorite of the contestants so far are Nick McGough, Nick L., Melody, Ashley, and Allan. I am intrigued by Snow but we’ve seen so little of her. There are at least two girls that they have shown almost nothing of, as well as a couple of guys. My prediction is on either Nick L or Blake coming out on top of the people we’ve seen.
