I think Travis or Alison would have been ticked, but all of them seem to have plenty of work.

I heard Donyelle is doing a show in Vegas with Wayne Brady.

Dimtri is apparently on tap to demostrate ballroom during SYTYCD hell week.

Benji (and Lacey) were in Christina Aguilera’s Candyman video – retro 40′s with heelslide!
And he’s doing a Fred Astaire biopic.

Natalie was choreographer for the Greek version of SYTYCD.

Musa does a lot of commercials.

Travison/Alison/Ivan did a national teaching tour for a dance convention.

The other day I looked up what Benji ended up doing after the show. Did you know he turned down the Celine Dion Vegas contract? I thought that was kinda cool (he didn’t want to be tied to Vegas for a year, he said), but I wonder if the other contestants were pretty ticked.

Susan – I’ve been watching videos from last season in anticipation.

Oddly, I seem to be way more excited about this than I was about AI this year.

Simon said, “Congratulations to you two. My commiserations, Melinda, ’cause you are one heck of a singer.”

The few media stories I’ve read are all treating this as a huge shock. I agree that it’s an upset, as Melinda has long been seen as the favorite, but it’s a predictable upset. Or is that an oxymoron?

I think he just congratulated them.

I’m excited for So You Think You Can Dance, too!

gabby,at the end simon just commented that she is a fabulous singer. He did not elaborate. Did anybody else think that it was sad that both Blake and Jordin drew these HUGE crowds during their homecoming, but there they showed a completely empty downtown when they showed Melinda’s homecoming? She did have a small crowd when they unveiled her street, but it was pitiful compared to the other two.

Elliott!!!!

I hadn’t been that happy about AI since last year.

I am also ridiculously excited about SYTYCD, starting next week.

A benji/travis rematch by proxy?

Rumour has it both Lacey Schwimmer & Danny Tidwell have made it to Las Vegas.

squee! *ahem*
