have to add that I was soooo excited about Wade Robson being back since I had been whining about him not being there all season. Then, I saw the dance and felt left down. I must be a tough crowd to please

Josh has had "some" training, but he has not been "classically trained." And he admits to having taken some classes (he's said so several times, in fact). I think what is great THIS season is that there are two hip hop dancers who have NOT been classically trained. These two, when you watch them, you sometimes forget where they came from. And finally, what's nice about this season is that all four of the finalists are just plain likeable people. Something Will needs to learn how to get.

I think the difference this season is that they did not arrive the best dancers of the group. I don't think any of them would have been considered the best overall dancers from the auditions. They took advantage of the opportunity and became much better. I think what you have here are the best performers and the ones that worked the hardest. They really gave it their all. I agree that there were a lot of technical mistakes last night, but I loved that they invested so much for the finale. And they worked to bring the emotion out in the choreography. Didn't Josh say he was from a small town? While he may have had a few classes, it may have not been any teaching of quality or at an advanced level. And like Costa said....Nigel specified "classically trained" one time and I think that is probably what he was always referring to. Something tells me that Nigel may be a bit of a snob when talking about such things.

Heads Up for folk in Chicago area - SYTYCD is being pre-empted by the Bears' pre-season game, and will not be shown until 11pm. I set my dvr, but will come and see who won and watch results tomorrow. I am pretty mad though. I watch ALL season just to have the finale go bust on me for some stupid game that does even count.

I forgot that the Bears are on Fox! I know they have a pre-season game tonight, but didn't realize it's on that channel. Rats! (Even though I like the Bears.) I wonder if the show will start exactly at 11:00 though. I think I'll set my dvr for a little bit longer just in case. Thanks for the heads up Cwcoop!

Are they still doing that 1 on 1 competition with those two that do that "locking" thing or whatever it is called. They mentioned the finale a while back.

No one is spoiling? Popping dance-off and the 6 (yes six!) judges voted and Robert won 5-1. They were both very good. Six judges are Mary, Nigel, Little C, the Broadway producer guy, Debbie Allen, and Mia. Mary just danced with Dmitri. Dmitri is so damn hot! His shirt was open. Mary wore a red dance and did pretty dang good. She has incredible legs and is alot taller than I thought.

The show opened with top 20 and I swear there were 2 guys there that I have never seen. Each judge is picking their favorite dance of the season and the first was Josh/katee Bollywood. Others were Mark and Chelsea's dance where he worked and she was the lonely housewife. Gev and Courtney did their latin dance that was so dang hot. Twitch and Comfort did their hip hop routine.

Another favorite dance of judges (mia) is the ballet dance by Will and Katee. I can't believe Katee is being forced to wear that unflattering onesie again!

Did anyone notice last night after the final 4 dance that Josh had his arm around Kat's waist and he was just rubbing away on her the whole time! I think a few ladies around here wish they were Kat right then!

Another favorite dance is the Broadway producer's choice, the weird dance that Mark and Courtney did. I love Mark's weirdness.

Poor girl is still trying to catch her breath from just dancing and they cut her. She gives a great thank you speech. Some guy just came out and gave her a HUGE bouquet of flowers and kissed her. Not sure who he is, must be associated with the show. She is just so darn cute!

I voted for Twitch, but if it couldn't be him, I'm glad it was Josh.

Thanks Prisoner! I would've loved Twitch to win, but 2nd place ain't all that bad. And Joshua IS adorable, and a phenomenal dancer, too. Except for switching the two guys, the final four ended up much as I thought or hoped.

I am sure all of them will have wonderful careers, they all have charisma and will be great at anything they do! I loved this season's routines more than any other (Benji's are a close 2nd)
