We previously told you about an online interview Australia's TV Week did with Nigel and Mary. Reality Raver at the RealityRavings blog found some more interesting little tidbits in the printed version.

But first Cat Deely's dress. A friend, site contributor and style arbiter sms me horrified and described Cat's dress as a toilet brush. I agreed, but also thought it could have been a cross between a kewpie doll, and one of those dolls that sits on top of the toilet to hide the toilet paper in. These are getting harder and harder to find, and will only be available from all good retro antique stores soon.

I mention this because I'm pleased to announce that Reality Raver has agreed to be the Australian correspondent for BSYTYCD. She will be recapping episodes of the upcoming Australian version of the the show, along with news and features. Welcome RR!

Jaimie And Kameron Interview

This is a long one. Murtz Jaffer continues his series of interviews at Reality Dish. Jaimie Goodwin and Kameron Bink talk about their experience on the show and their plans for the future.

MJ: In a competition where there is only one winner, do you think that the random selection of partners is fair (in the sense that so much of what you are judged on is based on chemistry and who you work with)?

KB: No, I really think that they know exactly how to make it as fair as possible. Because when you go on a job like later on in your career, you're never going to know the person you're dancing with and we all have to be dancers but we all have to be actors at the same time. It's preparing us.

JG: I feel like in the beginning they pair with your partners so that it will be a challenge for you, but they try and pair you with someone that you can grow the most with. You're with that partner for the most amount of time. I think you're judged mainly on that. And then when you split up and you have the random partners, they're judging based on you. By that time, partner-by-partner, you're already just being judged just as an individual. It's kind of cool because I feel like that random selection helps with the whole growing process and I think that's what the people want to see.

Tour Update From Jaimie

Jaimie Goodwin has posted to her Myspace blog.

TOUR :-)

Hey everyone! Just writing to say a few things that have been on my mind. Tour's long and tiring but everyday is a day closer to it being over, and now we have ten shows left, I'll be honest..I'm sad.
Many of you have heard about the "drama" I'm sure. Well here's the thing situations occur EVERYDAY and you can choose to make something out of it or let it go. some people get along, others dont. thats just LIFE! the 14 of us have been together for the past 6 months. and 7 girls have lived together on a bus for 3 months. SOOO, If this is the first time anyone has had or heard of an arguement then we should all be REALLY THANKFUL!
Speaking of thankful. We're ALL REALLY thankful to be here. For most of us this has been something we've dreamt about for a long time. And to be living this dream at this point in my life is something i cant thank God or anyone enough for. EVERYNIGHT we get to do what we love, DANCE for thousands and thousands of people. People that aren't there to see someone singing in front of us, but they're there to see US!! That opportunity is rare, and we all know that. Some of us are excited to go home to spend the holidays with our familys and friends and all the people we love. I know I havent spent time with my family or hometown friends in 6 months. So, of course, we're looking forward to homecooked meals, and our beds. We've also got so many new and upcoming opportunties we're really excited about. We're all moving to different places, and starting new chapter of our lives. Things that were brought to us because of this show. So of course, we're anxious to get out there! But I couldnt be more grateful for what I'm doing NOW either. I've met so many people on the show that i'm gonna miss from the first day we leave each other. I love the people I'm with and I LOVE what I'm doing even more, and I know it's the same for the rest of the cast.

So thank you so much for coming to see the show. Thanks for putting us here, and thanks for all the love. :-)

Sending all of mine,
Jaimie
