Survivor - Nicaragua - Episode One

Survivor is the Grand-daddy of Reality Television and is now entering it’s 21st season on American Television. Last season we watched one of the best seasons of the show ever, with the greatest Survivor player (Parvati Shallow) falling just short of winning her second title of ‘Sole Survivor’.  With this season featuring all new contestants [...]

SYTYCD, and America's Favorite Dancer is...

Last night the Top 3 competed for your votes with something for everyone, new styles, new routines and promises that the Season Finale would be the best ever with plenty of surprises for everyone. In fact they had so much material that they needed a second hour to fit everything in. We’ll break out the [...]

So You Think You Can Dance - The Finale!

This is it, the finale of So You Think You Can Dance. It’s been a long season, in which the show debuted a new format, revisited some great performances from seasons past, lost great performers due to injury and finally worked their way to a talented and varied final three. We’ve watched Lauren, Kent and [...]

So You Think You Can Dance - Top 4 Eliminations

It’s time for the eliminations, and much like last week this will be a tough elimination. Each of the Final Four left it all on the stage last night, but one of them won’t be able to make the finale. My picks last night were Robert, Kent and Lauren to make the finale, will I [...]

So You Think You Can Dance - Top 4 - Performance Show

It’s the last week before the finale, and the first week where the judges have no say at all in the results. Will Lauren, who was saved last week end up going home? Will the Final 3 be an all-boys club? The dancers have two hours and three dances apiece to motivate us to vote [...]

So You Think You Can Dance - Top 6 - Double Elimination

So last week the judges chose to eliminate no dancers, and the crowd went wild…. but with every gift there is a little loss and tonight we well lose two of your top 6 performers. It seems obvious that Jose is going to go home, the question is only who else will be in the [...]

So You Think You Can Dance - Top 6 - Once More With Feeling!

So last week Billy was injured, but received clearance from the judges to perform. This left the judges in a bit of a quandary, particularly as it seemed like judge’s favorite Jose would be heading home while Billy would have skipped dancing. So in the end the judges decided to punt, no dancer would be [...]

So You Think You Can Dance - Top 6 (er... 5) Eliminations

Last night the Top 6 took the stage, and we saw that the curse of this season of So You Think You Can Dance had struck again as Billy Bell was sidelined with an injured knee. As I said in my recap of the episode, we obviously can’t critique whether Billy Bell was at his [...]

So You Think You Can Dance - Top 6 (er... 5?) - Performance Night

Last week the Top 7 dancers performed, sans Ashley who wasn’t able to perform due to injury and for the second week in a row we lost one of the top dancers on the show. Both Alex Wong and Ashley Galvan hadn’t spent much time in the Bottom 3 and all had really come into [...]

So You Think You Can Dance - Top 7 Performances (er... 6?)

Last week we lost Alex Wong with an Achilles tendon injury. Of all the dancers he seemed most clearly poised for a run deep into the competition as he was both a great dancer, personable and had the crowd absolutely eating out of the palm of his hand. Of the remaining dancers Kent and Ashley [...]

So You Think You Can Dance: Top 8 (er... 7?)

Last week the Top 8 took the stage by storm, it was a week where it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Melinda Sullivan would go home (which she did), but the surprise was which previously well thought of contenders joined her in the Bottom 3 (Billy Bell and Robert Roldan). The routine of the [...]

So You Think You Can Dance - Season 7 - Top 9 Elimination Show

Last night the Top 9 took to the stage after a Top 10 week that was a little disappointing over all. But this week the majority of the Top 9 stepped up and delivered great performances. While some fell short of the emotional connection we (and the judges) might have been looking for, much of [...]
