Tonight was the first round of performances for the top twenty dancers on So You Think You Can Dance.
First off, wow. This was an amazing round of performances, with only one falling slightly flat for me. And to be fair, it's from the dancer I expected the least from.
But, secondly, and possibly more important to the competition as a whole... At the very end of the show, as the credits rolled and Cat Deeley announced the local news to follow, there was a bit of text mixed in.
Some folks may have heard about the so-called
"texting parties" that so greatly influenced the outcome of American Idol. Well, that won't be a problem with So You Think You Can Dance. There were a few lines of text that went by during the credits that stated that if the producers identify any "power texting," voting with the aid of "technological enhancements," or other forms of vote-bombing, they have the right to reject those votes.
I don't watch Idol, so I can't complain about who did or didn't win. In fact, I can't even say who actually did win. But I can say that I'm glad to see that this Fox competition is being run a bit more honestly, fairly, and openly. This is the kind of transparency that competitions like this, which are largely based on the votes of the viewers, should champion.
And Kayla, with that samba she did with Max... That's why I watch this show. Hot.
