Ah so my guess was correct.. I figured that he got some treatment after his injury, or after he came on stage and clearly was in great pain when they were doing an elimination.. and Cat was as usual fast on her feet and didn't make him mover over.. and prior to the end of the show. And yep that adrenaline can tide you over a bit. And Costa, that perfectly illustrates why paramedics have to try to convince some people that .. "no you aren't really okay and yes you do need treatment!" They know that person will get that ton of bricks thing soon enough.

Roteach, I'm thinking you meant you're glad RUSSELL won!! Sea, that ton of bricks thing was NOT fun! I could've sworn I was OK. Until the bricks. (Four years, countless months of PT, and two surgeries later, and NOW I think I actually am OK!! LOL!) AND OMG! I just realized!! The four year anniversary of that lovely accident is TOMORROW!! Gah!

I was in a car accident several years ago and actually got out and ran around on a broken ankle for about 20 minutes before I realized that something didn't feel right. Adrenaline is truly an amazing thing.

I was thinking the same thing about the Shane Sparks thing, I am waiting to hear more details before I start forming an opinion (like anyone cares, ha) but they said it took place from 1994-1997 and the girl was 14 or 15? Sounds more like statutory rape than child molestation but either way, to get arrested 12 years later, wow!

I will wait to see what happened too, bc this is a serious allegation, but children of that young age don't give consent and it's not statutory rape, it's rape, regardless, at least in most states, it really varies, though, but I think the age of consent is generally 16, which upsets me, bc many times kids that age are used by grown folks and that's not okay too, and some states are 17 or 18 (I think some countries are 21). Anyway, an accusation is not guilt, so we'll see what happens next.

Costa, you are right, I meant Russell not Shane.

I just read on eonline that Nigel says that they won't be doing two shows a year again...that it isn't fair to the dancer (Jeanine for instance) who wins to not get the entire year (which probably translates into they can't make money off a tour if there are two separation companies). I'm glad, because I really am not sure that having two seasons worked for me. I love this show but it was competing against way too many of my other favorites. And Kat will be doing both the new British version and the American version next time so she will be traveling back and forth.

IMO two shows a year was a big mistake. They are smart to go back to one.

I am glad that they are only going to do one series a year and I hope it is in the spring after AI and with nothing more to get in the way but Big Brother. This is the first year that I have missed an entire season of the show. I saw one or two episodes of Vegas week and that was about it.

The only saving grace was that there was nothing opposite SYTYCD that I cared about, so I could record both nights. (Mostly cuz I thought DWTS suck rocks.) But I'm glad to hear they are going back to one show a year. It isn't fair to Jeanine, for one, and it's much more enjoyable to not be saturated by two seasons.

I agree.. this is one of my favorite shows but this season with Biggest Loser and SYTYCD at the same time, I just never got into it as much.

I am so sad to hear Shane got arrested, I sure hope this gets resolved, I adore him! I am THRILLED Russell won! From the auditions I fell in love with him (when they were freaking out and screaming at him and the blonde lady how amazing they were)... he was my favorite this season and I am so proud of America for making him the winner, he deserved it big time. And how ridiculous for anyone to complain on his reaction, it was emotional and wonderful... and why on earth would he fake an injury? I just hope he heals soon!

Wow! I'm catching up here, and am sad to hear that about Shane, too! On the other note, twice a year is a bit much for this show. It's still a great show, but if it's shown too often, it could take away from some of the excitement.

I'm not tired of it yet. I am fine with it twice a year. I love this show. But there are many other alternatives I would be fine with, too. I would like them to do an updates show with former contestants. They could show what they are doing now and where it has all taken them both personally and professionally. They could show them behind the scenes on tour. They could show the choreographers at work on other projects. (Cat hosting any or all, of course!) I think being a professional dancer would be very interesting and seeing them continue to break into that world and seeing the lives of those who already make a living at it would be entertaining. I think it all goes back to my love of dance movies...but these are true (or reality-tv true) stories. There are so many dimensions to success. There are both physical and emotional demands, as well as luck and circumstance. And lots of potential drama.

I'm not sure, but I think most of the winners have turned to teaching dance or choreographing... I don't know how many have continued on in their professional dance careers.

I think that the problem with this season was that it followed directly on the footsteps of the prior season instead of being spaced out like other shows. That really is unfair to all the contestants in the season that aired in the summer and in the fall...neither "winner" got to be showcased for any period of time. On Reality Network (I think) the other night they had a show catching up with people who were on Dancing With the Stars...maybe they will do one on the people who have been on SYTYCD. Maybe we should all e-mail that network and ask...LOL!

Mia Michaels may be back for Season 7. She is apparently at New York auditions. In other news, from what I am seeing on Twitter, there haven't been as many people at this year's tryouts. LINK to SYTYCDism

Maybe the truly horrid dancers have finally learned to stop trying out, leaving one's who should be there? Yeah, I know, but a girl can dream. lol
