Is that Anya or is it Natalie? I think that's Danny behind her.

The man spinning with Travis and Danny was Nick.

The first season was very unique, it still has some of my favorite dances (that was the only season with good disco). The second season was uneven but had a great final set of episodes. The third season ran out of steam and had shitty choreography, but had some good moments.

Benji seemed alright at first and then he went into a very goofy place he's still in a few seasons later. I think Lacey was hurt more than helped by his presence last season.

I still wish Travis had won.

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.

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, award-winning ballroom dancer. I liked Sabra, she was probably even one of my favorites, but she seemed very tired by the end. I always thought it was odd they chose the finale to suddenly start criticizing her, because then when she won, people were more like, "She won?"

They were so desperate to get Pasha out for Neil's sake, which is probably another reason I didn't enjoy the last half of the season. He was underpraised so many times. It was often like, "Oh, Sabra/Sara/Lauren/Lacey, you were so wonderful...and that random man next to you with the accent was okay too."

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.

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.
