Those dancers were hot! They got Idol Gives Back off to a great start. To say the next 2 and 1/2 hours didn't live up to the opening routine is putting it very, very mildly. The rest of the special sucked big time. I've never watched SYTYCD much, though. I wish I knew which sexy babe was which (Warning: I only like the ones with the big knockers).

Merely - Travis was probably thinking..."How'd I get paired with a girl?"

I love the Lauren/Pasha hip hop routine. The opening of that dance is sick.

I have no idea how to embed a YouTube video so if this does not work I will just link.The top 18 group number from season 3 is insane.

I really liked Dom last season too.� He and Sabra were a good match.� Dom had the potential to show a really off-putting personality (which sometimes came out in his interactions with Cat), but Sabra was able to reign that in some.

Lauren and Neil were really mismatched.� I disliked both of them,...

I always thought Neil was so overrated. Loved his little slip up when he said he thought Lauren was one hot looking guy. Neil, who you foolin' ? The only Neil/Lauren performance I ever liked:

I loved that contemporary piece too. He really felt the emotions. At the time some people sneered because they said the choreography was too easy for him, but I never understood what was so bad about tailoring a dance to someone's strengths and weaknesses. He still did a fantastic job in one of the few truly moving contemporary dances that season. Even a lot of the contemporary dancers, like Neil and Lauren, didn't do anything for me in their contemporary pieces.

Got it. Yep. Ryan was in Six Step Crew.

I thought Dominic in the week 2 contemporary was unbelievable. It was on the level of Ivan as far as being one of the best performances by a non-contemporary dancer in a lyrical piece.

Oh good, more Dom fans (I still think the rumba he had with Sabra is one of the best dances SYTYCD ever had).

I think Ryan was in Hok's old group, Sick Step Crew (?), or Six Step Crew, I don't remember. The new group is Hok, Dom, and other guys.

Dom was my VERY favorite, and I continue to love him.

I assumed one of those guys was Ryan (S1) when I saw him on the show (as he and Hok have been the 2 Asian guys), but now that I see close-up faces, I see it's not him. Wasn't Ryan a member of the same group?

Drew, aside from Dom, Hok, and Melody, the others are memebrs of Qwest, the breaking group Dom and Hok formed.

Dom was one of my favorites last season, and they seemed pretty much done with him by the time he left. I'm glad they've brought him back for the Fox New Year's special and again for IGB, I always saw so much charisma and potential in him.

Who ARE some of those people in the Benji mooning pic?

Dominic looks adorable, though...

I thought most of the Wade choreography was consistently flat, and when the judges didn't want to criticize his choreography, they would go after the dancers. His big scream to end the war night was a pretentious mistake and along with Jesus boot I think the momentum was somewhat hampered. The best choreographer that season was Mandy Moore.

They also overpraised Sabra, like that awful moment where they actually tried to say she was better at the quickstep than Pasha, a trained,...

Talented, yes, but so was every other dancer in the Top 4. I thought Travis was more talented than he was, but Benji (like Lacey) was a camera-whore and showboated constantly. Love Nick and Sabra, though.

The third season ran out of steam and had shitty choreography, but had some good moments

I thought it stayed very consistant through-out. The early parts of the season were filled with great choreography, but mid-way to the end had very strong dances...

They played up Benji's father early on, him wanting to beat his father, then they phased this out after the audition rounds.

Benji and Archuleta have very different personalities but one similarity is I think they hide behind masks.

If Fergie, Teri Hatcher, and Mariah can get their own threads, the So You Think You Can Dance group might as well get one.

The opening number (showing the breakers, the ballroom dancers, the contemporary, the poppers, Benji and Lacey, the spinners) was one of my favorite parts of the show. And of course Pasha with his open shirt making the Gloria Estefan number enjoyable.
