Benji Can Dance!

Tonight was the grand finale of this season’s So You Think You Can Dance, and Benji waltzed off as the winner.   Benji was one of my favorites from Day One, so I was thrilled to see him win.  I fully expected Travis to win tonight, but am happy with the outcome.

Tonight’s Highlights:

  • Contemporary dance with Travis and Heidi (the bench!)
  • Black Mambo with Benji and Heidi
  • Allison and Ivan dancing to Annie Lennox
  • Donyelle’s departing speech (she is a stud)
  • Not having to see Travis’s goofy haircut anymore
  • Hearing Ramalama (Bang Bang)… yeah, it’s on my iPod

Tonight’s Lowlights:

  • Lame-ass lip-synching
  • Missing “Put the Needle on It” by Benji and Donyelle (my favorite dance)
  • Mary Murphy, her screams and her hand-puppets (insert eye-roll here)

Seriously, who will see the tour with me and pay good money for great seats?!  The tour will be in Oakland on September 15…

    Both Travis and Benji deserved to win, so it wasn’t a big surprise either way. I was so stoked to see the bench routine again, as well as Allison and Ivan’s Annie Lennox routine. I’m happy that Benji won because it leaves Travis and I more time to plan the wedding.

    Did anyone else feel uncomfortable when Benji started crying like a baby?

    I was happy Benji won because I had him in my SYTYCD pool! Aw yeah baby! I agree that the crying was over the top. I was awfully happy to see Musa again, he is beeeautiful!
