All season I've been saying that this year's contestants are all in love with each other, but this? BOYKISSING ON SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE! They actually kissed. This is a thing for me because So You Think You Can Dance has to be the most closeted show on the air - it's all about dancers, you know that a huge proportion of them are probably queer in some way, and yet they go on about masculinity and femininity and keep denying everybody the opportunity to express that (and have straight kisses all the time).
Plus they're my favourite boys this season. If Ricky gets top 2 instead of Tadd I'm going to be pissed.

I always watch right through to the cuddle piles during the credits. They make me a happy camper.

I always had the biggest smile on my face watching Jess dance, and his solo was just gorgeous.

His solo! 24 pirouettes!! I love watching him dance anyway, but THAT SOLO. Tadd's was impressive, too.

But I really appreciated the pda between him and Tad.

And I just have to add how amazing it was how supportive Jess was of Tad staying. He didn't show any disappointment, just happiness for him. It was pretty awesome. He just seems like the sweetest guy and I love him.

I think Jess knew as soon as he and Tadd were in the bottom that he'd be going, though. Like Ryan knew she was finally going a couple of weeks ago, except instead of being a prissy bitch about it, Jess was accepting.

The results shows this season are SO WORTH WATCHING, seriously. Especially this one - there's also an LXD performance to knock your socks off, the group routine is to die for, and the boys' solos are amaaaaaaaaaazing. Also, this season the results shows have been massive love-ins. The dancers are allllll over each other.
Having watched it a bunch of times, it looks like Jess says both "I love you" and "thank you baby" at different times, which is kind of awesome.

Yeah, the only TV I download/watch is SYTYCD and Glee. Everything else is Whatever.
But yes, I must go download this now and revel in their cuteness.

I think the notion that they're not all hooking up with one another, when they're in such close quarters for weeks on end and it's all so intense and they're all so freaking hot, is kind of preposterous.
I have a few shows - I'm currently getting Warehouse 13, Alphas, SYTYCD (which is the only one I know the day of and actively refresh for), Falling Skies, and Leverage. Which may sound like a lot, but it's not that many for a TV whore. It's off season right now, but I think I like more summer shows than ratings shows these days.
I AGREE. REVEL AND GET BACK TO ME.

But oh that results was just adorable. The shoulder squeezing and the awkward pats and the 'omg don't wanna let you go' at the end. So sweet.

Eh, I was only expecting to get one more week of him anyway - I knew he wouldn't make it to top four. Should've been Ricky this week, though.
From:

Yeah, I was sure it would be Ricky and Tadd (ilu Tadd) in the Bottom 2 and Ricky leaving. And I LOVE RICKY, TOO! But I didn't see this coming at all :(

Though neither of the boys can really compete with Mel and Sasha anyway.

and the closet thing is sometimes fairly ridiculous, cause really... you can't tell he's gay? oh my.
at least the judges can admit it.
From:

It does really bother me that they try to hetero the show up when so many of the dancers are so clearly gay. It actually caused problems last season with Billy Bell - in that dance he did with Jose, there was tension between them when Billy sexualised the dance and Jose didn't know what to do with that. It disappoints me fairly often. In the Australian one they really embrace the gay - one dancer, Rhys, was also a drag queen, and they went into that a lot, as well as his aggressively sexual style of dance and his explorations of gender. He came second, and the girl who came fourth auditioned with her girlfriend and was very masculine.

yeaaaah, I remember that.
aww, that's awesome. i never watched the au version, is it good? dance-wise i mean. (the german one they once had was *horrid*)

No, the Aussie SYTYCD was pretty bad. The only decent choreographer we have, Jason Gilkison, was stolen by the US one pretty quickly, and none of the others could challenge the dancers at all. The costuming was generally awful, and the camerawork made me want to stab people. I want to MARRY the camerapeople on the US SYTYCD, they're SO good. I mean. Really. The worst thing about the Australian one, though, is the host. Cat Deeley so deserves her Emmy nom. She's beautiful, natural, funny and sweet and so supportive of all the dancers. Natalie Bassingthwaite, the Australian host, can't even read a fucking teleprompter. She can't move her face for botox, and she is the most incredibly fake human being on the face of the planet. It's cringeworthy in the extreme.
Best thing ever to come out of the Australian SYTYCD was this pair:
That routine, this one (http://youtu.be/ldbVenvqjRA), and this one (http://youtu.be/xpXsmwNSB8o) are the best things ever on the Australian show. Robbie won and Ivy came...third or fourth, I think, but I seriously loved Ivy from the moment she came on and said she couldn't be a ballet dancer because she liked eating too much. I have such a massive girlcrush on her. She's preeeetty.
Here's the fabulous gay drag queen boy doing a solo (http://youtu.be/IrptoxKgnA4), though. I did love him. My sister's met him a few times now, which is cool for her - she's basically the biggest SYTYCD fan there is.

I'm not a dancer either, so I feel like a bit of a douche if I try to talk about technique and shit, but you can just see how good Melanie is. Also, my favourite routine that nobody else seems to love as much as me from this season is one of hers:
Her LEGS in this.
