Members DaysFanJean Posted August 10, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 I LOVED the whole show. I could not decide between Travis, Benji or Heidi. To me, Donyelle is a bit clumsy and not in the same caliber as those three, although she is beautiful and talented. My favorite dances tonight were Tranji LOL, totally roared with delight on that one, and the four together in their high fashion dance and not to leave out the Mia Michaels choreographed Georgia with Travis and Donyelle. Did Kat grow on you? I started out not liking her at all and ended up loving her. What do you all think? Did you notice the disclaimer at the end saying that portions of the show had been altered? The results show is next week on Wednesday at 8/7C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ms. Tee 7 Posted August 10, 2006 Members Share Posted August 10, 2006 The dance with Donyelle and Travis was my favorite of the night! It was beautiful! Mia is brilliant! I really liked the Broadway dance the girls did. I hated those eye lashes, but the dance was very nice. Heidi and Donyelle's solos fell flat to me. Heidi's solo always looks the same to me. And last night I thought Donyelle's solo was just not very strong. Travis' solo took my breath away! Benji's was high energy and fun as always. The group dance was wonderful! I loved it! Travis would be my pick to win it! He is a great dancer, very versitile, and I just love him! I think Benji will win it based on America's votes.... he's the popular one. IMO, neither of the girls were great last night. I love Donyelle, but she had an off night. I'm not that impressed with Heidi normally, and last night was no different. She's great at the latin dances, but she is just not very versitle, IMO. GO TRAVIS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysFanJean Posted August 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2006 dialidol.com lists them as Benji, Travis, Donyelle and Heidi in that order. Huge differences between Heidi and the rest. Benji is leading by a goodly number, but these are not terribly accurate as last week Donyelle was the bottom and Natalie was above her but Natalie went. I'd love for Travis to win. Mainly because he is so versatile and a true dancer whereas Benji is a fantastic entertainer and he can go so many more places as the star.

Members DaysFanJean Posted August 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 11, 2006 There is only one winner. Last year was a guy and from the looks of it, this year will be a guy, too. I love Benji but I hope Travis wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaysFanJean Posted August 15, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2006 SPOILERISH............ * * * * * * * * * * * I just read that a clue to the winner was thrown out and it is that Travis will win. Travis or Benji definitely have the edge but I believe that Travis is the best all around dancer. Benji and Heidi tie for showmanship....imj.

Members DaysFanJean Posted August 24, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 24, 2006 BENJI NEWS !!!!!!! 'Dance' winner gets film, TV offers By TARA MERRIN - Calgary Sun Benji Schwimmer is moving off the dance floor and on to the big screen. The 22-year-old Californian swing dancer says just minutes after he won Fox's So You Think You Can Dance 2, the film and TV offers started rolling in. "I've had two movie offers, I've had three Broadway shows approach me about joining their casts, as well as a sitcom and another comedy program that's on Fox," says Schwimmer. "One thing I just got offered, and it is a for sure thing, is playing Fred Astaire in an upcoming motion picture. I have an acting background -- I did commercials and TV when I was a younger kid, so I'm really excited." The former U.S. Swing Dance Champion says his future looks so bright, he's not sure if he's going to accept the show's main prize -- a one- year contract to dance in Celine Dion's show in Las Vegas. "I come from a swing and ballroom background and it's a contemporary show, so we are trying to see if I can work out," he says. "It would be amazing if I could -- there's a rumour I'm going to be doing a swing routine with Celine. If that's the case, I'd be ecstatic." Regardless of what he decides, Schwimmer says he's having a hard time coming to terms with what's happened to his life. Not long ago, he was severely depressed after being dumped by his longtime girlfriend (who recently asked for an autographed picture for her niece) and was obsessed with the dancers from the first season of So You Think You can Dance. "The cool thing about it is, it's kind of like you're a stalker. Let's just say I was stalking Britney Spears and she eventually married me -- that's kind of how I felt about this show. "I had been stalking the show forever and I ended up being on it -- it's a stalkers' fantasy." While all of Schwimmer's dreams are now coming true, he says, he just learned this week, he almost didn't make it on the series. "I wasn't even cast originally in the Top 20, I was an alternate -- Nigel (Lythgoe) just told me that after I won. "I guess there were contractual obligations a couple of the other competitors had, so they couldn't join the Top 20. I must have somebody looking out for me." Indeed he does. Schwimmer shocked many Dance fans, and himself, when he defeated fellow finalist Travis Wall, 18, of Virginia Beach, who was not only a fan favourite, but some of the show's judges pick to win it all. "That day, I just had this horrible feeling that I wasn't going to make it, so it really did shock me when they called my name out to win," he says. On top of the chance to perform in Dion's Vegas show, Schwimmer also walked away with a $100,000 US cheque and a new SUV Wednesday. And the cash, he says, came at the perfect time. Two weeks ago, Schwimmer's family's dance studio in Redlands, burnt down, leaving his parents, Buddy (King of Swing) and Laurie, in financial ruins. "That's their source of income and bread and butter for the family," he says, adding his win means as much to his family as it does to him. "My dad was bawling, my mom was bawling and my sister was crying and she hardly ever cries. It was just an amazing experience because they've suffered a lot." And as for his cousin Heidi Groskreutz, who was also part of this season's Top 4, Schwimmer says she's couldn't be happier for him. "It really didn't matter if she had won or I had won, it's pretty much the same thing. We've been dancing together for 17 years and I wouldn't be anything without her," he says, adding all the rumours he's having an affair with Groskreutz, Wall and finalist Donyelle Jones are ridiculous. "Donyelle has a boyfriend right now -- she's a great person and very faithful -- Travis ... we are just really good friends. And Heidi is my cousin. I'm not from the Bayou so it's fine -- there's no issue there either." The third season of So You Think You Can Dance is expected to air on Fox next summer. http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/2006/08/18/1762637.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
