Joshua winning on So You Think You Can Dance is satisfying, on many levels. I really like Joshua, shallowly even more since he lost the braces, and he seems to be not only an amazing dancer but a genuinely lovely person. He's been a good sport throughout the competition, and has taken everything thrown at him and used it to great advantage. I loved watching him partner with many of the Top 20, but of course I adored him most with Katee. And with Twitch. So, about Twitch: I love him, but I never thought he would win (I always thought Katee would, right up until her shocking elimination in last night's first hour) but I always thought he would go the distance. In the last couple of weeks my Twitch love diminished, however, and I can trace it to his wild overreaction to being put into the bottom three. It seemed off, and also the result of hubris. And Cat didn't like it, either, I could tell. I loved Twitch best when he was part of the fabulous Twitchington, and that's how I'll remember him. But Joshua, with his high leaps and his sexy samba pants, should go on to fine things. Congratulations. What else did I love? I loved seeing Mary dance the samba, but even better, I loved Nigel dancing with all of Debbie Allen's kids. Good TV.
