Refried Screens

Last night’s So You Think You Can Dance finale was awesome!

We saw reenactments of the best dances from the season…

The best two dancers made it to the finals… 

Nicole Scherzicantpronouncehername from the Pussycat Dolls stank up the stage, looking every bit of her 40+ years.  Whoever told her to perform craptastic dance moves on a show FEATURING REAL DANCERS should be fired…

And Sabra’s consistency won after beating Danny’s technical superiority. 

Everything seemed great, until one trend I noticed all season continued…

Unwarranted camera time for Lauren.

Her story was simple: she was a “helper” last season who was given a chance to show her stuff this season.

And show her stuff, she did.

Whenever there was a group shot, the cameras would always focus on her, even though she wasn’t the best dancer.

The video packages for the highlights of the season consistently featured her, even though she wasn’t the most popular dancer.

The numerous times she was up for elimination (chosen by call-in viewers), the final decision would be in the hands of the judges…who always let her stay over better dancers.

It made me wonder.

Who did Lauren “help” last season?  And what does “help” mean anyway?

First American Idol is rigged, now his buddy Nigel Lythgoe is messing with So You Think You Can Dance.

It’s a British conspiracy to corrupt our nation’s reality television purity by playing with our emotions.

And it disgusts me more than that stupid look on Mia Michaels’ grinch-like face:
