Greatest Show

Last night concluded another one of our regular TV shows, the one and only So You Think You Can Dance. We had a lot of favorites this year but the 2 that stood out the most for us were the 2 that made it to the very end, Joshua and Katee. Jeremy was rooting for Joshua and I was for Katee. If you've never seen the show, first of all, you're a complete loser and second, see first reason! Just kiddin'....Jeremy and I remember both Joshua and Katee's auditions from the beginning. We were both impressed with everything about Joshua, the way he moved, his style, his strength, the height we'd get with his jumps, and his overall ability to adapt to ANY dance style and make it look like he's been doing it for years. In reality, he's a B Boy/Popper with no formal training but he executed each dance with such talent and ability. Katee, on the other hand, is very trained and very technical. To put it plain and simple, she's just flat out talented!! Plus, she can make you believe the dance with her emotion and the way she performs the crap out of each dance. It's so much more than just a dance with the pair of them. Funny thing is that they were partners the entire time until the top 10, when all the pairs were split up, but then they were soon reunited when they drew each other's names for partners one week.

The Final 4 came down to Joshua, Katee, Courtney, and Twitch, all of who are incredible dancers!! The Final 2 came down to Joshua and Twitch, eliminating both girls. However, they awarded Katee $50,000 for being the top girl in the competition. They did the same for the top guy, who would also be the winner. When they announced that Katee was no longer in the competition, Jeremy just hooted and hollered. I had to bring him back down to reality because he was happy that MY choice had not won, while I was incredibly disappointed. He was excited that Joshua was still in the running.

When they announced that Joshua had won the competition, you would have thought that Jeremy had just won the $250 million lottery!! He went from laying down to sitting up with his hands in the air like he was riding a roller coaster, just yelling and excited as ever. It made me chuckle a bit that a man who rarely shows a lot of emotion would be so overwhelmed with emotion and excitement!! It was almost as if Jeremy had won the competition! He was so funny!!

I love that my husband likes shows like that because we can enjoy it together. I'm glad I have a husband who doesn't like to come home from work and just sit on the couch and watch SportsCenter. He's such an incredible help, support, and I love that he can watch silly shows like So You Think You Can Dance with me! Nevertheless, we said good-bye to one of the greats of shows last night!! Can't wait for the next season!! American Idol who???
