And the Winner of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Season 5 is…
We just finished the finale and cannot believe that the season is over. For our final SYTYCD podcast of the season we examine the results, the Judges Choice Encore performances, and the big surprise of the night!
Find out which Judge we wished was shanked; which Judge needed a new top; which podcast host was almost murdered tonight and which podcast host performed a Season 6 audition piece!
There’s a lot of laughter, a few screams, some tears and even a moment of terror jam packed into this finale podcast so listen up and join in on the discussion.
Thanks for an amazing season and we’ll be talking SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE once again this fall.
Here we go kids, it’s the Season 5 Finale of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! Kath and Dan discuss all of the routines, the finale expectations, the Judges commentary and Cat Deeley’s awesomeness.
Did Kayla, Brandon, Evan and Jeanine live up to previous seasons’ finalists? Were the finale dances as amazing and memorable as years past? Did Shankman dazzle us with his genius or completely disappoint us? Who gave us one of the most unbelievable solo’s in the history of the show?
SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE celebrated its 100th episode by reuniting a ton of alums, working out some killer encore performances, having Katie Holmes sing and dance a spell and then reality kicked in sending two more dancers home.
In the latest SYTYCD TV Talk Podcast, Kath and Dan are joined by their weekly viewing partners in crime Jess, Whit and Heather! We’ll warn everyone now, we’re all a little punchy after the sad sad elimination and our special SYTYCD cake had us all on a little sugar high. Yes, we had a 100th episode SYTYCD cake… jealous much?
Wondering who went home last night? Wondering if I screamed bloody murder? Love it or hate it, SYTYCD continues and so does the TV Talk Podcast!
The Top 8 performed on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and once again Kath and Dan are back to talk everything good, bad and droopy eyed.
We ponder whether or not guest judge Ellen DeGeneres was a necessary addition to the show and more importantly if a backstory can manipulate the audience to the point that it corrupts the purpose of the show.
Another week of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, another week of the SYTYCD podcast!
With only 6 couples left to perform, each pairing was given 2 dances to master. Some rose to the occasion, some crashed and burned under the pressure but one thing remained consistent… the Judges are out of their minds and way off base this season.
Kath and Dan recap each of the 12 routines, comment on the lack of criticism from the Judges, risk another late night Police raid and flip out over having Wade & Mia choreography in a single episode!
Find out who we think should make the Top 10 for Season 5, the injustice that’s surely upon one of the male dancers and even GLEE(k) out over the newest McKinley High Glee Club promo.
Sit back and take it all in kids, we’ve got plenty to say this week! Thanks again for listening and if you like what we’re doing, please tell a friend.
The TV Talk Podcast: So You Think You Can Dance Edition is back! Kath and Dan break down the Top 7 Couples, their performances, the Judges comments, the outfits and whether or not some of these Judges are bangin’.
Kath reveals her Season 5 SYTYCD Boyfriend while Dan reveals how we were almost arrested recording this puppy.
The Top 14 dance for their lives and we decide who should stay and who should really just call it a day.
Thanks to reader and buddy ColoradoKila for the tip about this past weekend’s MAD TV skit mocking So You Think You Can Dance. Not only are the impressions hilarious, they’re not too far off from the real thing. The Mary Scream slayed me everytime. Ew and that Nigel? So hideous that it’s brilliant.
I know I’ve been down on So You Think You Can Dance for a couple weeks but my overall love for the series hasn’t faltered… know that going into this. Last night I was completely dissatisfied with the Season 4 finale and it was so much so that at one point I was actually pissed off I was watching 2 hours worth of the show.
There was only 1 routine that I feel was worthy of being in the finale and it was also the only routine that really showcased why these people were in the finale. No I’m not talking about the Russian Trepak which I loathed, I’m talking about the man, the myth, the legend Wade Robson’s number that Katee and Joshua performed. It was the only routine all night that made me think, these kids are frakkin’ banoodles! It was dark, emotional, haunting and absolutely gorgeous to watch. I was sincerely wow’d by this number but that’s where my excitement ended sadly.
So before someone has an aneurysm I’ll talk about the Twich/Joshua Russian Trepak. I understand that it was meant to showcase their strenght and their amazing abilities but I don’t think it was all that. The posturing and the chest pumping was annoying considering no one has pit these two against each other all season, so to make a fake rivalry now is ridiculous. I’ve seen Twitch and Joshua spin and jump higher and faster than they did last night so I felt it added nothing to the competition… other than hospital visits. This is the number that sent both boys to the hospital over the weekend and I can see why. They damn near killed themselves doing a number that came nowhere near the talent we saw in Season 2 or 3 between Benji and Travis, Danny and Neil. Those were dances that showcased each dancers talent while still fitting the spirit of the show and of the competitive nature between them. This was just whack… and I know I’m in the minority here.
So You Think You Can Dance winds down this week and at last night’s taping of the Finale performance episode, it looks like things went a little different than they normally do. From what I can cull together online, they did multiple tapings and each one had different segments that would fit into both the Wed and Thur episodes.
Everything I’ve been able to get my dirty little spoiler hungry hands on is listed after the jump… (more…)
I know that I’ve been in radio silence regarding So You Think You Can Dance for the last few weeks but I’ve been a busy boy. I never watched more than 3 routines from the week Will and Comfort went home so I still don’t have much to report on that front. As I mentioned in my spoiler post earlier this week, I didn’t shed a tear or really even care that Will got the boot last week and that got me thinking…
Do I even care about SYTYCD this season? Of course the easy answer is yes! The more complicated question to ask though is how much?
A few weeks back I found myself getting really annoyed with having to invest 2 hours and 100 dances on a Wednesday night. Never in the history of my watching the show had I wanted less SYTYCD and I admit it’s crazy talk. Last week when I missed both episodes, I had no interest in going back and trying to watch the routines, the judges reactions and more importantly the contestant reactions to the supposedly shocking ouster.
This week I watched both the Wednesday night performances and the Thursday night eliminations back to back and found myself fast forwarding through the majority of both episodes so obviously I’m way over Season 4 of SYTYCD.
At this point I have zero interest in going to the SYTYCD Tour (all the air just sucked out of the room you’re reading this in) because I don’t really care about any of the dancers. I love my Marky Mark and it pained me to see him go last night (read my recap at AfterElton.com) but I didn’t scream or jump up and down in horror when he left. I think Twitch is a great personality but I think we’ve seen everything he’s got to offer and now we’re just killing time until the finale. Same goes for every contestant on the show.
Oddly, the two I’m most excited about in the Top 4 are Joshua and Katee. As you may recall, Katee was Enemy #1 when this competition began and I wished for her demise for the first couple weeks. Now I think she’s the one that excites me most and if her and Joshua continue to fly through the air like acrobats from Cirque du Soleil, I’ll have to reconsider my stance on the tour because their Contemporary routine this week was banoodles!
Alas I’m torn on what to think about the ennui I have toward Season 4 and I hope I snap out of it eventually but really does it matter at this point? The finale is next week and I won’t even be home to watch a winner be crowned. I’ll be doing my IFFBoston duties as we host one of our Summer Screening Series films so wow, there’s that!
The shortened season is both a blessing and a curse. The Olympics have forced the show to end earlier than it normally would and while that sucks in general, I’m also kind of excited for it to just be done with. What’s that all about?
Sure Cat Deeley has been better than ever and there’s been plenty of shirtless mancandy but I feel like the show’s still lacking that certain something. They let NappyTabs have too much exposure this season and if they were geniuses like Mia Michaels or Mandy Moore I’d be fine with it but for every 4 bad routines there’s a good one. I didn’t think losing Shane Sparks and Wade Robson would have that much impact but I think it did. Is it possible that’s what I’m longing for and that’s why there’s a disconnect? Bringing on Sonya Tayeh was a huge benefit and having Lil C guest judge gave us more of his genius but I need something more.
Am I alone in this? Am I the only one that thinks something is off this season?
Alright gang, this might be the last you hear from me this week about So You Think You Can Dance because I leave tomorrow for Comic-Con. That means I’m on a plane during a portion of the performance airing and busy with geeky stuff during eliminations. If I get a chance to watch online at some point, I’ll add some commentary but otherwise this is Ducky signing off for SYTYCD until next week. How sad is that?

Last night the Top 12 performed on SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE and I don’t know if all the cleaning I did coupled with the heat had my head out of the game but I was not the impressed with the majority of the dances last night. Sure there were some standouts that I absoloved.
Hands down the best routine of the night was Katee and Joshua’s Bollywood routine, I mean let’s get real… it was banoodles! I loved Courtney and Gev’s Jazz number and how smokin’ hot was Will and Jessica’s Contemporary?
While I’m positive its time for Comfort Fedoke to gets ta steppin’, I can’t pick any of the guys to send home this week. Thayne is better than any partner he’s had all season so I don’t want to see him go home yet, I think the kid will kill it once he makes it into the Top 10. Gev is a fan fave so I don’t see his little scrawny ass going anywhere anytime soon which leaves us with Twitch, Will, Joshua and Mark. I don’t want to see any of them leave either. Frak, tonight is going to be ugly and for the first time all season I know I’m going to scream at my television.
*Don’t forget to download all of the music from last night’s show over at my SYTYCD Episode Music Guide!
Anyway, here are the videos from Week 5 as theTop 12 Perform

The rest of the Top 12 videos after the jump… (more…)
Read my So You Think You Can DanceAfterElton recaplet , then listen to our latest SYTYCD Podcast to get all of my thoughts on the Top 14 performing. Quickly, two dances for seven couples was waaaay too much this week. It killed the momentum of the show and it killed the personality I come to appreciate from seeing the rehearsal process… that being said, I didn’t love it any less.
There are a ton of videos to get to this week so let’s go…
