TWOP Interviews Shane


Loralyn and Nick both submitted this long interview with Shane Sparks. Daniel at TWOP asks the questions.

Daniel: Yeah. It was almost like, "Sabra won! Okay! All right! Thanks! We're gone, we're out of here!" It's a live show, so I guess you started running out of time.

Sparks: I think it should have been like a recap, you know how they do a recap on the news? Or like maybe later on after the show, I think they should have gave it like five or ten minutes to the whole show, and showed her celebration, and showed what she did, and her family coming up onstage, because a lot of stuff happened after that was over, that a lot of people missed. I think people should have got to see that.

Daniel: Well, the other thing is that because it was down to her and Danny, Danny didn't really get any kind of sendoff from the audience.

Sparks: I know. I know. I didn't even really think about that, because when we're there, you see everybody coming up to Danny, like, "Congratulations, blah blah blah blah blah," you see everybody coming up to Sabra, so to us that didn't happen. But I guess from TV, it looked like -- you know, because they gave Danny roses, they gave her roses, they did a lot of stuff, you know, after the fact.

Video Death Match

Our buddy Ducky came up with an interesting idea. He's running a video death match of top routines from the finale:

Here’s how it works: I’ve picked the 10 routines featured in the finale that I think generated the most buzz and am offering them up for sacrifice.

Watch the 10 videos below and vote on your favorites.

Each week, the two routines with the lowest number of votes will be eliminated until we are down to the Top 2 SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Routines. Then we vote on a winner!

Mia's Assistant


I don't think he's ever been mentioned on the show, but Mia Michaels' assistant Teddy Forance has developed a small following. Here's a video interview regarding classes he's teaching.

Here he is dancing at NYCDA.



Video Of The Day

Denise Wall works with students, including Travis, on a Fever routine in 2004.




Bonus Recaps

Like finding that 20 you didn't know you had, we get one more recap from Leee at T!YBE.

We get a few belated thoughts from a community blogger at TVGuide:

With Pasha gone, I wasn't really rooting for anyone in the final four and would have been truly happy to see anyone win so getting to the final reveal was secondary for me while watching the episode. For me it was all about seeing my favorites again (PASHA! SARA!) and a lot of montage/dancing. And other than the final four, don't think I didn't notice and Sara and Pasha probably danced the most routines that night. That made me happy. The routines that the judges "picked" were mostly right on, but it did feel VERY structured.

Kameron In Music Video

Priscilla Jayne "Ride of Your Life"



Submitted by Nick. He's not crazy about the song, but as he says:

...at least it is a paying job. Dancers still need to make a living.
