So You Think You Can Watch So You Think You Can Dance? Yes, I DO!!!!

Whoa, Marissa's posting on her blog?!?!?! That's right, folks! Times a-changin'! Haha. I blame my lack of posting on Bobby because since he's gone, my life just isn't as exciting anymore. Yeah, you heard me, Bobby Luke. Lol! My life as of right now consists of going to work at BYU's Food-to-Go, playing Final Fantasy IX (thanks to Bobby for letting me borrow it), and watching So You Think You Can Dance. Which brings me to the point of writing this post. As many people know, (and what Bobby loves to make fun of all the time) I am completely and utterly obsessed with this show. And some people just don't get it (Bobby being that number one person). Here are my reasons as to why this show is completely BAMF and why it kicks other similar reality tv shows butts (such as American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, America's Got Talent, which all except maybe the latter just really suck.)



Ok, here goes, Marissa's Reasons Why SYTYCD Rocks My Socks:

1. The most obvious reason is that the dances that the contestants do are absolutely AMAZING! They usually have some sort of story behind the song choice and the choreography and those stories either make me laugh hysterically, keep me super enthralled with the piece, or move me to tears.


2. Cat Deeley's outfits. Ok, I have the biggest problem with the host, Cat Deeley, because she is seriously Britain's version of a white trash woman, and she's not funny at all and she tries to be. But, that being said, it is the most entertaining thing to see what she's wearing every episode just so that I can make fun of her! Seriously, whoever her stylist is needs to be shot.

3. Nigel Lythgoe is the MAN! For those of you who don't know, Nigel is one of the three judges every week and he is the show's typical British middle-aged man. (Come on, every judging show has to have one.) But unlike his comparable counterpart Simon Cowell, Nigel is actually a LIKABLE person! Not only that, but he's so funny! He pulls the most hilarious faces, critiques the contestants the way he sees it (which is not ruthless like Simon), and makes fun of the show's equivalent of Paula Abdul, Mary Murphy (which makes me laugh every time). For example, Mary once hinted that she might have gotten botox and pretty much every week since, Nigel has brought up botox in some form or another.




4. They have the best team of choreographers EVER!!! Mia Michaels, Tyce DiOrio, Wade Robson, Sonya Tayeh, Shane Sparks, to name a few, are all brilliant! Some have even won Emmy's for their pieces!



5. They give us a taste of not just your everyday styles of music and dance, but they explore other cultures of dance such as African dancing, Russian folk dance, and Bollywood! It's amazing!



6. They have the most likable contestants out there! Last year's winner, Joshua Allen was amazing - I've never wanted anyone on tv to win their contest so much as I wanted Josh to win last year!!! And it's just addicting to see every week if your favorite stays in the running!



Anyway, if you don't believe me, maybe you should just watch it yourself!!!! It's amazing, trust me! And I pretty much proved how much I'm obsessed with this show by posting this on my blog, but I couldn't help it! I had to make a point. Haha!
