It was a tough choice, but I'm happy that Benji won. This was one of the better "reality" shows that's been on this summer. I think because everyone is so nice to each other. They became one big family. I will definately watch it again.

I think Shane Sparks said it best last week when he said that Benji was an entertainer. I can see him going beyond dancing to other artistic endeavors, acting, etc.

Oh, Ladyt, sorry if that came out wrong. I just meant, dancing at that level is NOT one of the things I'd ever expect to come out of that upbringing. (I have the impression that it is quite strict about things like dancing--but I could be all wrong.) I loved Benji! I think he is incredibly talented; a moral, community-minded young man; and a genuine sweetheart.

I'm soooo happy for Benji! I wanted either him or Heidi to win. I hope that a lot of the final dancers will get great dance jobs out of this.

Benji seems like he would get along with anyone and was truly happy when his dance partners did well. I don't think you can fake that for very long. Both he and Travis will do well.
I liked the comparison to Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. Although, I would have put Fred Astaire and Donald O'Conner. I could really see Benji doing the Donald O'Conner dance with the dummy where Travis could do the Gene Kelly Singin in the rain dance justice.

I am so happy for Benji. He truly deserved to win. It is also a bonus that he is a lovable personality.

Anyone know of any interviews coming up with the performers and/or choreographers?

Interesting, does anyone realize that Ryan was the only one of the final ten who didn't get a duet dance number tonight? Hmmm...wonder why? It seemed like they were giving us a tour preview with the top ten dancers, especially with the number by Natalie and Dimitry, which was great (one of my favorites, since it was brand new and sizzling!). I think Ryan is the only one who got left out.

Another interesting little footnote: last time in the Tranji hip hop, Benji lost his cap, so I guess they changed it this time so that BOTH threw off their caps early in the routine.

I am shocked too. I thought that Travis had it locked up. I thought that they both were equally deserving of it. I actually thought Heidi was too. The only one in the final four that I thought was not as good as the others was Donyelle. I thought she was an incredible dancer, but not as great. I actually thought Allison was a million times better than her. I am glad Benji won, he was great. I liked them all. they are all soo sweet and loving to each other. I liked this show.

I'm glad that doing so well in the competition renewed Donyelle's love of dancing.

I am happy for Benji, but I loved loved loved Travis. I would watch him dance for hours.

I enjoyed this show and I am going to miss not watching it.

and Beth..I noticed the lack of Ryan last night! He's another one I could watch for hours! With his little blue t-shirt and white capri's <sigh>

ARGH! I hate when shows run long! At least my DVR didn't cut off until after they announced the winner, BUT it did cut off when Celine's video congratulations was playing. Call me a sap, but the best part of these shows is the part where you see the winner's reactions and I feel robbed. :-(

Thanks for the heads up on the Regis & Kelly appearance. I've got it set up to tape. (Airs here at 11:00 board time.)

Anyone else think an International Dance Off version would be a lot of fun? Bring in the winners from shows around the world and go to it. :-)

Max, I was thinking of an International Dance Off last night when they were showing the international versions. I noticed that they did not show a British version.

I really wished that Travis won. I love Benji, don't get me wrong, but the show is called, "So, You Think You Can Dance." Not, "So, You Think You Can Entertain." Mia is the head choreographer of Celine's show, and Travis would have nailed it. Benji, not so much. I can see him thriving in stardom for a while, but...he can't dance Mia's style. I am dissappointed how America chose to vote.

The rules didn't forbid Mia from hiring the other contestants also.

She already said she'd hire Travis in a minute.

Benji did a great job on Regis. He was wearing black pants, a red shirt and a matiching red sparkly tie. He did one of his solos. He showed Kelli how to do something called crazy knees and he spun and dipped her. He said he was first on the show at age 10 with a group of kids. He was then dancing with Heidi. Regis said he'd never go anywhere because he had a big head. He was asked what was next for him. He mentioned his job offer with Celine and said that he was approached about several movies. In one he would be playing Fred Astarie. All in all a nice segment.

re benji on regis today - what intrigues me was when he said that he was originally "cast as an understudy on Dance". He was to go on if someone got injured ???? "cast as an understudy"?? I thought he won a spot in the audition process???

Yes, Jan that threw me. Maybe during auditions there was someone ahead of him who made it and for some reason or other couldn't go so they edited the tryouts to show him getting a ticket. I think they showed him getting a ticket?

Yes, interesting re the "understudy" thing...we saw him getting a lot of tickets (to Vegas, to the final 20), but I guess somewhere along the line the ticket wasn't for a spot on the show, but the understudy spot? I remember at one point he had to "dance for his life" to stay in the competition...that was when he asked if he could choose a partner and brought Heidi on board.

I did miss seeing him dance with Heidi today; I was hoping she would be on for one of their sizzling duets. I also would have LOVED to have seen that footage of the two of them at age 10.

Anyone hear of any other shows he'll be on...or any other Dance members?

Benji's mom and dad are in our town today for a Latin Dance Festival. The newspaper stated that they've been here many times before, often bringing their son, Benji, to perform as well. Wish it were true today! I'd love to see him live.
