SYTYCD RESULTS SHOW

I have been reading the SYTYCD blog on TV Guide and I am so confused. Please help me.

We had a bad thunderstorm last night and FOX had no sound all night long. I was able to see a picture and see who was voted off but I couldn’t hear anything at all.

I am reading on the blogs about some controversy including Mia and Nigel over Wade’s routine. What in the hell did I miss?

I thought it was a dance about peace not a whole anti-war thing. What did you think it was about and were you offended?

Anyways, on to the dancing. I was not surprised at the bottom four nor was I upset.

Kameron’s solo was horrible. I think if he would have made it in the bottom three in the past he would have been gone long before now.

Dominic’s was awesome. He had to be super dizzy after spinning like that on his head. I love his moves and I think he is a great solo artist. I do believe he will be going home next week.

Jamie & Lauren’s solo routines bored me. I felt like there was no feeling in it whatsoever. It was like they knew one of them were going home and this dance didn’t matter. But I might be wrong about these two since I was unable to see hear any music.

The Husband - by Dean Koontz

I am currently reading this book and I am on page 186 paragraph 5 and I read this.

In time he might become a legend like D. B. Cooper, the airline hijacker who, decades earlier, had parachuted out of a place with a fortune in cash, never to be heard from again.

Does this all sound familiar... Prison Break. I can't wait for this show to return to FOX this fall. I loved the story lines and all the action that went along with it.

Lacey is my favorite dancer...

THE COUPLES
Lauren & Pasha: What a great way to start off the show. I love Shane Sparks choreography and this is why. He did a great job and the two dancers really pulled it off. When watching Shane’s routines I think to myself why can’t I dance like that. I would love to pull off those smooth moves.

Sabra & Kameron: It was ok. I normally like Tyce’s routines but it didn’t reel me in like the others and I was a little distracted by the music.

Lacey & Danny: HOT! HOT! HOT! This routine was so sexy. I loved it! Lacey shines no matter who she is partnered with. Danny did a great job pulling off this routine but I still cannot connect with him for some reason.

Jamie & Dominic: I didn’t like this one at all. I think the judges were a little hard on the dancers when they should have said something to the choreographer. I really think he let those two down and they will possibly be the two sent home tonight. One question… How do you mix a Spanish flare to a Viennese Waltz? It made no sense to me… whatsoever.

Sara & Neil: I loved this routine. Doriana Sanchez is not my favorite but she did a great job on this routine last night. Aaron, Faron and myself all said “what… did you just see that” when Neil did that back flip legs spread thingy. This routine was awesome from beginning to end and the two dancers sure put a lot of positive energy into it.

THE SINGLES
First, I was so happy that they decided to do the same routine. I loved that it was a Rob number too. I did get very tired of seeing the same routine and hearing the same song over and over. Good in theory, but ended up just being repetitive.

MY TOP GIRLS
Lacey
Sabra
Sara (at times)

MY TOP GUYS
Neil
Pasha

As long as none of those go home tonight then I am fine with the voting.

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's!!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank Kool-aid made with sugar, but we weren’t overweight because, WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo' s, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD' s, no surround-sound or CD' s, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or chat rooms....... WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend' s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of
innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

If YOU are one of them.CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated so much of our lives for our own good . While you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave (and lucky) their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn’t it?!

"Price is Right" for Drew Carey

Genial comic Drew Carey was tapped Monday to replace silver-haired legend Bob Barker on the CBS daytime game show "The Price is Right." The deal was set Monday afternoon shortly before a taping of CBS' "Late Show" with David Letterman, where he confirmed it.

"I realize what a big responsibility this is," he said. "It's only a game show, but it's the longest-running game show in American television and I plan to keep it that way."

The selection attracted more attention than usual for a daytime show because of the prospect of replacing Barker, 83. Barker retired after 35 years in the job last month following taping of his 6,586th episode.

The opening attracted widespread interest, including from comic Rosie O'Donnell after she left "The View."

Carey, 49, spent a decade on his own ABC sitcom and also was host of the improvisational game show "Whose Line is It Anyway?"

He will also be host of a new CBS prime-time game show, "The Power of 10," that will air first next month. He told The Associated Press on Monday that CBS officials first contacted him about "The Price is Right" immediately after he completed a pilot of the other game show this spring.

"My agent called me and said `I was talking to CBS casting today' and in my head I was thinking, `Oh, `CSI' guest star?' And he said what would you think about replacing Bob Barker on `The Price is Right?'"

Asked if he found the prospect of replacing such a TV legend daunting, Carey recalled talking to a friend who knows the game show business who told him, "as long as Bob Barker is cool with it, the fans will be cool with it."

"I'm cool with it," Barker said after hearing Carey's remarks.

Barker said he's not familiar enough with Carey's past performances to offer an opinion on his selection. But, he said, "I understand he ad-libs very well and that he has a very nice, friendly way of working, and I think both of those would be helpful to him on 'The Price Is Right.'"

His advice for Carey: "Go out there and do that show the way you think it should be done. Don't imitate me and don't imitate anyone else."

CBS entertainment President Nina Tassler said she was "beyond delighted" to land Carey.

"He is one of the most well-liked personalities working in entertainment, and I have no doubt his humor, charm and enthusiasm will endear him to 'Price is Right' viewers," she said.

While Carey said doesn't know Barker personally, the younger comedian said he was comfortable that his predecessor would be accepting when he took on the job.

The negotiation process was nerve-racking. While he was talking with CBS about the job, Carey said he got a call from another lawyer in Hollywood who told him one of his clients was offered "The Price is Right" job.

He figured CBS had lined up back-ups if the first choice did not come through.

"If I was going after a second baseman, I wouldn't just talk to one second baseman," the Cleveland Indians fan said. "If I were the general manager, I would be talking to a few second basemen."

I love Wade!!!

Sabra and Dominic: These two have really grown on me throughout the competition. They have great chemistry and can dance. I loved there routine last night. Dominic being a B-boy and not having any formal training like Sabra he sure does a great job.

Jaimie and Hok: I loved this routine also. I think the judges were to harsh on Hok. I think he did a great job portraying Bojangles. When Nigel was criticizing him about not doing anything to wow him I was thinking he’s supposed to be an old man. What more did they want? I think it would be a shame if Hok wasn’t part of the tour.

Sara and Pasha: I love this couple too. Even though they haven’t been partners since the beginning they did a good job working together. I just love Pasha. He’s sexy and I love to watch him move around the dance floor.

Neil and Lauren: This is one of the two couples I have not connected with at all. They’re a cute couple and they can dance but they aren’t my favorite. Although I really liked the Mia Michaels choreography. Why do we always needs a story or characters to make the dance good? I enjoyed it but I did notice they weren’t together all the time. Which made the dance a little distracting to me.

Anya and Danny: I can’t stand this couple of some reason. The foxtrot is not one of my favorite dances and I found myself not interested at all. The judges praised these two but I didn’t get it. And maybe it was a combination of not liking the dance and the couple. I thought it was very boring compared to the other routines.

Lacey and Kameron: I enjoyed the routine and thought they did a really good job. Once Wade said that Kameron dances a little heavy I was thinking what. But when it recapped all the dances at the end I did notice what he was saying. Although I still love this couple and I hope they aren’t part of the bottom three.

Here’s who I like and in what order (last night’s routines)
Sabra and Dominic
Sara and Pasha
Lacey and Kameron
Jaimie and Hok
Neil and Lauren
Anya and Danny

I enjoyed seeing Travis back and helping out.

Also, I read this comment on TVGuide earlier today and I had to share it with you. I agree 100% although I’ve been smitten over him since his TV show on MTV called the Wade Robson Project

So not only is Wade young, tall, gorgeous, and an awesome choreographer and dancer, but he can also speak coherently and intelligently! I am officially smitten.

I LOVE THIS PLACE...

We spent many weekends here and I loved every minute of it. The Palm Pavilion was an awesome spot to eat, drink and get a little sun. We've taken a lot of people to this little spot. Remember when J.D., Michael and a few others came to visit; this is where we took them. My dad has been to this same spot with me before. And this picture was taken when April and her boyfriend came down to visit. I was so excited that live music was being played, the beer was cold and the appetizers were appetizing. This was also a great place to lay out and still enjoy the live music coming from the Palm Pavilion. We also had access to all the cool surf shops on this side of the beach. I will miss this place dearly. I would love at some point in the near future to take a vacation and stay in the Palm Pavilion hotel and reminisce all the good times we had.

I LOVE MUSIC

Wow! What a night...

I really enjoyed the show last night. I thought all the dancers looked good and did a very good job. I normally don’t vote this early in the competition but last night would have been hard to pick out the best dancers.

Pasha/Sara I loved this routine. Benji did a great job choreographing that one. Benji threw in some of his playfulness and attitude. I would have loved to see him and Heidi do that one together.

Kameron/Lacey are still my favorite. They did a great job last night being the first couple to dance. I think Kameron is doing a great job and I don’t understand why the judges are always criticizing him.

Dominic/Sabra are a hot couple. I really liked this Shane Sparks routine. He was able to show us another side of hip-hop and I totally dug it.

Lauren/Neil aren’t my favorite but how could you not like the Wade Robson routine. Wade blows my mind and I totally get his style and I love the characters he comes up with. Lauren and Neil did a great job I thought.

Hok/Jaimie I think have a little crush on each other. I really like Hok but he looks a little weird doing ballroom. I still think he did a great job and pulled it off but for some reason I think he looks a weird doing it.

Anya/Danny I love their routine too. It was very dramatic and I loved it. I think Adam was right when he said that Danny is a little arrogant. He is in my opinion. He dances and acts like he’s won the competition already. I still enjoyed watching him and Anya dance.

Cedric & Shauna I think it’s the end of the road for these two. I really hope they end up in the bottom three and they both get sent home. They did do a good job last night but everyone did and I think they should go.

I hope nothing big happens tonight because I am going to the Lawrence County fair to watch Kellie Pickler. I will have to wait till I get to work tomorrow to check and see how gets voted off.
