Well, since American Idol is over for the season, I guess I’ll start blogging about “So You Think You Can Dance.”

I got hooked on this show the first season, and the second season was so glad when Benji won — his personality totally won over the audience.

I love the quality of talent on this show — it’s amazing to see how some of the dancers look so graceful and natural — beautiful!

So during the audition process I was not too surprised to see some of the same tactics that American Idol uses in showcasing some strange and not so good dancers. Of of the most unique was a guy who called himself the “Gold Inferno”. He wore a gold mask through the whole audition process. I felt bad for him — he seemed like he had a mental illness or something — and I wish they wouldn’t really make fun of people even though they are a bit strange. Some of it was pretty brutal — especially when the heavy guy came out to dance. He was quite heavy and when his shirt came up and his belly hung out it wasn’t pretty to watch. But he was really quite flexible and could dance pretty good — but I felt bad for him because you could tell how much he loved to dance.

My favorite part was listening to Mary laugh and to watch Nigel laughing so hard and try to regain his composure. Very funny.

I’m also really glad that Hok is back — he is so amazing and a great entertainer. I’m excited for this season. It seems like there is going to be some really great talent this season on So You Think You Can Dance.
