Soo...
The season came to end, and i must say.. i am very truly satiisfied with the results... Benji, IMO, deserved it more than anyone... he's has exactly what Mary pointed out... a back-bone, a wish-bone and a funny-bone! lol.... Congrats to Benji....
 
I've got to say that this year I liked so many of the dancers so much more than last year that I would have been happy for *any* of the final four to win. Benji really came into his own as a performer this time around. He's always been a great dancer and performer, but in the partner dancing realm. He broke out and did creditably in other styles, but I must say I was most impressed with his forays into the contemporary style.

Bottom line: Boy can DANCE, and he brought it, and now the world is his oyster.
 
To be famous in the West Coast Swing world is one thing, to be nationally famous is quite another.

I can see him becoming big in the movies. Benji is a very talented guy and a fabulous performer.

Oh yea . . . he got as high as anyone ever got in the WCS world . . . he must feel like a . . . hell, I can't even think of a word!

He deserves it!

Seeing him perform live on many ocassions were some of the most memorable WCS's I've ever seen.
 
It was a great season. The thing about these dance shows is it only makes you want more. Which I guess is great news for the dance industry.

From Benji's EW.com article:

Finally it aired, and some people in the airport bar were watching, and they saw me and were doing double takes, like, why is he here right now? It wasn't until I got off the plane this morning that this lady jumped on top of me and was like, ''I voted for you!'' It was hysterical.

Dancers don't normally get that kind of star treatment. It's usually the singers and actors that have the rabid fans.
They should. Dance is the most underappreciated art form there is. We work just as hard as everyone else does. We have to be on point. Also there's the physical aspect and the athleticism. If you think about it, we're putting up so much more effort than other artists. When we get injured, we go to the hospital. When a singer gets injured, they take a throat lozenge.

Read the rest here (including him playing Fred Astaire!):

Does anyone know if there are video footages available for the highlights of the show? Only saw the last episode while i was flipping through channels last Wednesday in a hotel, missed the entire season of shows ...

i know, i'm "guilty" as charged. As a matter of fact, i virtually haven't watched any of the domestic TV programs since spring which might explained what had happened ...

Okay, here's what you do to sorta or pseudo-catch up on what you have missed.
  1. Go to www.rickey.org and click on any and all So You Think You Can Dance links. Some of the video links no longer work (you'll know which) and some still do.
  2. Go to YouTube and Megaupload.com and search for any links from the dancers you know from the show. Some are still up.
  3. Go to http://vixen-ontheedge.blogspot.com/ (a Benji fansite) and download any and all videos that have links. Believe me, there are MANY.
  4. Go to http://idolforums.com/index.php?showforum=416
  5. and search every thread. Many of them have links to the performances
  6. If you are familiar with Bit Torrent and torrent programs, you can download ENTIRE EPISODES of the show that have aired since May up until the finale. This way you see EVERYTHING and don't miss a thing.
  7. GOOD LUCK and HAPPY HUNTING!:D
