So You Think You Can Dance: Top 20

Now comes the interesting part…the Top 20 Dancers. Last night we had the crazy Vegas week of Callbacks. There wasn’t a lot of drama save a lot of contestants getting eliminated. They are staying at Mandalay Bay, which holds a special place in my heart. At least if they don’t make it they can go out and get loaded on the strip.

We finally have the awesome lyrical genius Mia Michaels joining the show. She is badass and when faced with her choreography most of the dancers look like they are going to vomit. Actually I think I have nightmares that I am forced to go to one of her dance calls.

During the elimination there are a few surprises. The girl with one arm doesn’t make it, which is a bit disheartening. There is one poor boy that tries to feign a crush on Kat Deeley even though he is violently gay.

My favorite dancer from last year’s auditions, Hawk didn’t get to compete is season two because of an issue with his work visa. This year they make the poor boy wait until the very end. It gets down to him and Twitch who was another sick break-dancer.

The judges make their final decision and it is…HAWK! Vote for Hawk!!!

The last girl to be chosen was Lacey Schwimmer the sister of Benji Schwimmer. She is also a good little Mormon girl and when they let her know that she is the final girl to get a spot in the Top 20 she says… “Shut the front door!” I love people that were not brough up with profanity the home. My father actually used to swear at home appliances.

I can’t wait for next week when the real fun beings! This should be a great season. I think the dancers this year are even better than Season 2, which was filled with a crazy amount of talent.
