I LOVED Wade Robson's "rabbit" routine!! OMG! Amazing!
The cirque de soleil group was AWESOME.

I LOVED seeing the old dancers back!!

It was really a surprise at all who won for me. I expected them to show it as Courtney, Twitch, Katee, Joshua, so when Katee was gone second, I was kinda shocked there. LOL

Congrats to all of them! They did amazing!

I loved Nigel's tapping with the kids routine!! I know some think he is kinda Mervy Pervy with his googling the gals but I think he is just such a fan of dance and it shows. You could tell he was loving dancing with those kids. loved it!

I havent watched whole show yet, curious did they ever mention Jessica? I noticed she wasnt in the opening when they introduced the couples

Great tap dance number. Clearly Nigel loved doing it. My goodness I love Cat as a hostess. She is just terrific. She truly shows her affection and appreciation for the dancers, the show, everything.
Katee was great in the door number.

I guess I didn't understand why Debbie Allen was on the panel the whole evening. It's not like we saw her in prior show, except in Vegas week.
The Will thing really bugs me I guess. When will they get that we like the complete performers with personalities. Don't try to shove 'the best dancer' down our throats.

I do like that Adam said he would take Nigel on in Tap next year. Loved seeing the DOOR again. It's too bad that Katee had to dance so shortly after being eliminated.

On the Popping duel, Robert killed it. But, after seeing the IKEA commercial, I'm now seeing that he repeats alot of his stuff.

Never thought of the Jonas Bros as from the 'hood.

I am glad with the final 2. Twitch appeared shocked that Katee was eliminated. I liked that he did the bow down thing to her in the background as he was walking off the stage. Both Twitch and Josh were great all season with wonderful personalities that shown through. It was fun and I hope we see some of them in other things.

Since this is the first season that Nigel and Mary have danced, I wonder if they just wanted to prove they could.

Did anyone notice how sour Debbie Allen was after hearing Joshua won. How dare America prefer an untrained dancer to Will. Any of the top 3 was okay by me.

I didn't see Debbie Allen's face. Maybe someone has captured a copy?

Personally, I think having Twitch and Joshua in the final 2 is exactly what this show is about. Both of them have really grown and while they are not 'trained', they are certainly talented and now have the exposure they need to move forward successfully.

I always have the same arguement at work. The best dancer is not always America's favorite dancer. I think America likes the person who overcomes, is sincere and has a personality that gives him a spark. It was a similar situation on AI this year when David Cook won over Archie. The judges on that show were so high on Archie, but America still picked DC because he had more than just talent. It's that 'it' factor for lack of a better explanation. It was clear, early on, that Joshua and Twitch had that special something that draws people into their story. Katee was a wonderful dancer, but didn't really have the extra something to carry her forward. Last year, Sabra was quiet, but her dancing really drew you in more so that Katee this year. Having said that, I believe that Katee was a stronger dancer than Sabra last year.

I am pretty proud of myself tonight. I didn't watch the first year, but for the last 3 seasons, I have picked the ultimate winner from those who made the Top 10. I am now 3 for 3, so maybe I should just retire....

Finally finished watching the show..

While I had voted most for Katee and then for Twitch, I'm quite happy with the outcome and was really pleased with the surprise $50,000 for Katee as top woman.

I loved seeing Mary and Nigel strut their stuff. Loved seeing some of the great routines from this season.

Stupid me though.. earlier on I went to look for tickets and only available in the nosebleed but a good location and I stupidly didn't buy them, so then when I went again, still way up but way around to the side. But I went ahead and bought a ticket.

We got the feeling that the surprise announcement that the "first place" woman was getting $50,000 was a last minute award. While we had absolutely no trouble with Joshua winning we did think, as pointed out in previous postings, that Katee was the best dancer but not necessarily America's favorite. Maybe we missed this notion of an additional award but it almost looked like a concession by the producers, once they knew who was going to win, that Katee deserved something other than a contract for the road show.

I loved seeing the prior seasons' dancers there! I DVR'ed it while I watched, because I knew I'd want to watch some of the dances again. I did, and except for speeding through the commercials and the chit-chat, I watched almost all the dances a second time.

Mack, that could be the case, but however it came about, I'm sure happy for Katee!

They said that Jessica would be on the tour (and Comfort), but they never mentioned Jessica or showed her (I would have thought she would have at least been in the audience).

My favorite part of this type of show is watching the past contestants cheer on the finalists. I wish they showed more of that.

I didn't get why Debbie Allen sat at the judges table either. She wasn't a judge at all this season. And I am just very glad that Will got booted when he did. These judges will not learn... do not shove someone down our throats. We don't give two cents for what you think. WE like dancers with personality, who have class, who have a story we can hook in to. It's why Courtney was still in the final four. And why Twitch and Joshua were in the final four.

As for Sabra, she had an interesting back story. She'd only been dancing for four years. So while Katee has had more training, I'd argue that Katee is the better dancer. I never "felt" Katee's dancing. I thought, technically, that she was a good dancer. But her personality didn't appeal to me (and again, another one that we're constantly being told is a perfect dancer). For a show that's looking for America's favorite dancer, let ME pick who I like, OK?

I thought the exclusion of Jessica, even during the top 20 intros, was rude. If she couldn't dance, she could've gone out on stage with Will and he could've danced to make it look like they were dancing together. Dunno what is up with that, but it was wrong.

Loved seeing the past dancers. Loved seeing Mary and Nigel actually proving they know what they are talking about. Loved *most* of the encore dances. I wish they'd shown "The Bed" with Twitchington, but the number they did was beautiful much the same.

The battle of poppers (Robert and Phillip) was way too cool. Yes, Robert does much the same moves, but so what? The things he does with his body are just insane (as Mia said, a freak of nature!).

Finally, I absolutely LOVED the fact that two street dancers were in the top 2. I think this season has blown wide open the doors for others who may not think they can win it and so don't bother. And these two guys in the finals? They really showed heart. And a lot of it! That, and amusing us along the way, not a bad combination to have. (Charisma? "It" factor? Whatever is, they've got it AND they can dance!)

<100>What surprises me <100> people seem to dislike Will so much.
I thought he was a great dancer. Why should a dancer be punished because the judges like him.
I was very happy to see Josh win and it was so nice that Katie got a special reward.
I got great seats to see them on tour and cannot wait.

Was that Allison Holker featured as one of the previous dancers on the finale last night??? Wow. I barely recognized her! Most of them I recognized right away, but....I had NO idea who she was, and even after she said her name, I had to think about it for awhile before I could place her.

I loved this season! What a great finale! Loved the Rabbits/Wade number; loved that Nigel and Mary both danced; loved seeing the door number again; loved that they gave Katee $50,000 (that seemed to ease the pain of not winning).

I am like what some of you said in being happy about the back stories of the top two, how hard they worked to get there. When I heard Joshua say he did chores around the dance studio to get free lessons, I was so impressed by him.

Oh, and I loved seeing the former contestants. I was really happy to see Ivan! :-)

ETA: Yeah, that was Allison Holker. Before the baby, she was doing tours with Ivan and Travis. Well, not so much tours as doing these dance seminar things. I saw some youtubes of them.

I thought it was "interesting" to see some real attitude come out of the poppers. I know they were supposed to play it out like a street battle, but I got the impression that a little bit of real animosity sneaked in. Especially when they did each others' moves. But still, totally amazing!

I think it was more real than play. If it was a play battle, the judges would've tied their votes or something. And in battle, one opponent will definitely trash another's movements. Which is what makes it all so much fun to watch!

I didn't recognize Allison either, my favorite dancer ever. Her eyebrows are different maybe? I have no idea how to put this politely but I remember her as being quite beautiful and I did not recognize her. And she has not gained weight. So, hmm.

Could everyone identify all the dancers in the "best of" performance? I saw Ivan and Lauren and Neil (who also looks different - skinnier?), the russians, and maybe Travis? There were several people I didn't recognize dancing. They needed to put their names up! I didn't see Season 1's winner Nick(?) or Sabra, where the heck is she?

Oh and am I the only one who gets the heeby jeebies when Robert dances? I can see that he has an amazing talent but it makes me feel funny and I have to look away.

I'm still on the fence as to whether Cat is pregnant or not...some of the dresses that she's worn lately I think NO WAY but then again there's the dress she wore last night...HMMM?

I know it is irrelevant, but she seems like such a great woman whom I suspect would be an amazing mom.
