{Editor's Note: Okay, so even though this is a BlogHer original post, I'm still prefacing it with a little note to you guys because I just have to introduce the person from whom you are about to hear. With everyone who has anything to do with BlogHer, ESPECIALLY its genius-a$$ founders, running around like chickens with their heads cut off in preparation for our (Now MASSIVE) annual Conference -- it naturally fell to me...the poor, lowly Entertainment Editor with the epic task of filling Elisa's SYTYCD shoes to recap the top six's performances.
And also? Like, EVERYONE ONE EARTH WHO BLOGS SYTYCD THAT I KNOW WAS GOING TO BE AT BLOGHER TOO.
But I knew that my friend Kenny (the male mommy blogger and creative genius) of SmonkYou.com had a dirty little secret...and testes...and thus no ticket to BlogHer*. But what he does have? One wild and crazy sense of humor that I thought I might take this opportunity to share with you, since I know you guys get cranky when you don't get your Elisa fixes.
*Which is total silliness by the way, because there were at least 25 men there including my husband and brother-in-law, so there are TOTALLY guys at BlogHer.
So anyway, after he threatened to fly to LA and slap me in my face for suggesting the possibility that he watch the show and thus should blog it he agreed to do it. So without further ado, I give you, So You Think You Can Write A So You Think You Can Dance Recap? --Morgan}
Here's a little breakdown on me so you have the confidence that this recap will be top-notch. I don't dance. Anytime I'm on a dance floor and am expected to dance it is LITERALLY the most uncomfortable feeling ever. Except Swing dancing because for some reason I love that and taught it a bit. And once I did some sort of two-step to Polka and it was fun. But the point is I generally hate to dance. Next, I only watch this show because my wife makes me. For awhile she had one on our DVR because she was obsessed with some dance that Twitch did... It was painful every time she wanted me to watch. And generally I'm not a fan of reality shows, however I did make the last call for the very first Real World.
So now I can tell you with full confidence that this will be the best SYTYCD recap ever. As an aside I think SYTYCD is harder to type than So You Think You Can Dance... Not sure why.
Here we go...
My wife Staci and son Miloh joined me for the first hour of the show. I say that because Staci has great commentary and she may pop up in this recap a bit. (Also, I feel like it's a little hijack-y that Fox makes this show two hours long. That's my whole night, SYTYCDWTFDIAFMORGANBBBQ.)
Anyway the guest judges today were Lil' C who I have never heard of but Staci said is great and Christina Applegate who I of course totally had a crush on back in the day because she was cute, and pretty damn smart. But we never met so we'll never know what could have been.
They introduce Mary and Nigel. Staci says of Mary "she's orange/ she needs a bra/ did you see those boobs?" Yes, yes and yes. In case you're wondering Miloh is on the couch next to us sitting on the Prince Lionheart Wheely Bee he hefted up and climbed on. He seems interested in the show.
Staci is also almost on her feet and clapping because Twitch is on... Whatever I have Christina Applegate for two hours. Next Staci asks me not to humiliate her on Facebook. I tell her it's BlogHer. I know the interwebs love Melanie, but I wasn't blown away... Staci thought she was amazing. Perhaps I was comparing her look to that of Dolores O'Riordan (short hair) who I saw in her video for Linger this morning... I also had a crush on Dolores (don't tell Christina) so Melanie had no chance. I realize it's not a looks thing but still I saw a comparison. All the judges thought she was amazing.
After the dance Miloh started playing with his cat-shaped keyboard. There was
