What happened to Pasha and Anya? Were they replaced by the magician Russian couple?

Well, poo. What an awful substitute. I am sure Pasha and Anya could have scored much higher than them. eta - I did like the art and creativity of the South African lady's dance.

Thanks. I was sure that it wasn't the Pasha and Anya that I knew from SYTYCD. They mentioned swapping out the Irish soloist, but they never mentioned swapping out the Russian duos.

I finished watching this week's show, and I have rapidly lost interest. I dunno if I'll even bother to watch the finals. It's not a truly fair competition when you have classically trained dancers competing against "dancing" monks, or when you can just swap out a team whenever you want.

No surprise there. I figured that would happen.

Fix! Fix! The show was in the USA and USA won. Loved the duo who did the jive and they only came in third. At least they were dancing. The duo who came in second was all acrobatic moves, I don't call that dancing.

I actually saw the finale show (stoopid DVR recorded it automatically for me, thankyouverymuch!). Groovaloos rock. But so did the Aussie group, and honestly I thought they were better. Not surprised Robert ended up in 3rd place in the singles category... And the Russian ballerrina was so graceful I'm glad she won. The duos were a tough call. The team that was all acrobatics and not much dancing was good but... that was not much dancing. I'm still not surprised USA won. I figured we'd win from the beginning. Oh, and what's his name. The host? Hello ego! Although the dance number was phenomenal, it wasn't clear that it was pre-recorded until the end when they showed him on stage in his tux. (BTW, isn't there a school where you can go to learn how to be a host? Please?)

The host was Michael Flatley aka Lord of the Dance.
