Weekend Rant - Mini-rant

Just a quick note as it has been an incredibly busy week and I have not had the time to catch up on all the Watch List nor have the time to rant about what happened this past week ... but here is a quick overview of what I managed to take in and what worked (and didn't) for me this week. This time around in will be in simple point form and the shows are rated from ☼ to ☼☼☼☼☼ . ☼☼☼☼☼ means it was absolutely fracking fantabulous and if something gets rated ☼ it means that I probably want that hour of my life back. Let the games begin!

Sunday I caught up with the Amazing Race (always high on my list ☼☼☼☼) and then that great episode of Desperate Housewives which was such a winner it got ☼☼☼☼☼. Edie still looks alive (or was twitching in her death throes at the end of the episode) so was this just some of the hype concerning the death of her character and her departure or was it only a publicity stunt or is there more to this story? I can hardly wait until the next episode to see how they tie things up.

Monday brought another great edition of Dancing with the Stars, but I am still bummed that Woz and some of the other pseudo celebrities are still there. I look forward to when the herd gets culled a bit more and we get into the Top 6 -- the competition is still great fun and always dependable. Tom Bergeron is hilarious -- and because of him I am giving the show ☼☼☼½. Chuck is disappointing me with too much repetition of the Chuck/Sarah relationship on again off again thing ( I hate angst) but redeemed itself with the live appearance of the tiny General and the nerd off between rival BuyMore stores. ☼☼☼ for this one, and the same thing for Heroes as they finally pulled out some action and oomphed up the story (finally) that redeemed some of this disaster of a season. Nice to see that my theories of Rebel turning out to be true, but hate that Daphne got bumped off. You win some and you lose some.

Tuesday brought the unexpected season finale of the
Rick Mercer Report ( ☼☼☼☼) and the Dancing with the Stars Results Show. I gasped when it was fellow E network Stars Holly and Denise were pitted against each other in the Dance Off and am bummed that Denise is gone, but only because she was partnered with Maks. Holly may be next if Woz keeps getting by. The guy must be buying votes or all the nerds have the voting on speed dial.

Wednesday brought Lost ( ☼☼☼☼☼) and an astounding episode that makes me question how much of this was destined to happen or are they changing history? This show is blowing my mind.

Make me a Supermodel is thrilling me with this year's crop of talent, and I love the photo shoots. It was too much fun to see the winners get to come to Montréal for Fashion Week. This season is just as fun as the first one, but with our little gay boy eliminated, there will not be the same kind of bro-mance as last year. Colin is too cute as our virginal boy - but will be gone soon, but probably after Gabriel who can only pout and look emo, Jonathan is turning the heat up and may be the first guy to win the competition. South Park has been even more scathing this season and their Margaritaville episode was a tour de force. Absolutely outstanding work and brilliant parody. ☼☼☼☼☼

Thursday was Smallville and the much lauded appearance of Zatanna that was okay (her costume was great but the character was not used very much) but I liked the development with Chloe. Watchtower online! ☼☼☼½. Supernatural was astounding this week and it was another great episode that had better continuity to the big storyline and the guys have such great chemistry together. ☼☼☼☼

I am still catching up on Friday -- more to follow later this week!

Smallville - It's all a blur to me

This week was supposed to be one of those episodes that helps advance the storyline arc on Smallville, but I think the writers are not exactly sure what the hell they are doing and some of the characters are really coming across different than how they usually are. I know the Davis is supposed to be the "big bad" of this season (since we are currently Lexless it was an interesting choice), but the whole angst story with him not knowing what is going on (really?) or being conscious of who he really is (again, really?) and the whole love triangle crap with Chloe and Jimmy is just turning into a bad soap opera.

I really hate how they are turning Chloe into this simpering Lana like sap (and we all know how I love to hate the Lana character) that is completely clueless about Jimmy and the whole stupid Doomsday/Davis thing. This year they have managed to Brainiac her, wipe her memory, give it back to her, and now they have no idea what to do with her since she seems like a redundant character with Lois and the Daily Planet in the picture. They just need to put her back at work in Watchtower mode at the Isis Foundation, coordinating heroes and becoming more Oracle like -- it would work well with the series and she could be useful instead of being the victim of the week. There are rumors that a character will be killed off this season but I am pretty sure that they will do a Death of The Red Blue Blur finale with Doomsday and then show his resurrection for the new season premiere, but they may decide to get rid of Chloe since she is not even part of the regular continuity in comic book land. They haven't even looked at her supposed healing powers or if they even still exist after all the rebooting that they have done with her over the past few months. They really seem to have a problem with writing the character at this time and it's frustrating as she has been the real gem of the series since it's debut.

I am still not liking the Tess-macher character and don't find her interesting or original at all, especially with her now trying to navigate that gray zone that Lex was a master at doing, nor did I buy any of the bull that she was shovelling in the last episode. I almost laughed when she made the allusions to child abuse in her past via her father in that special bonding moment with Clark. I thought it was too obvious and convenient that the plane crashed and burned and that Clark saved her... Clark needs to wake up and smell the coffee, but our boy scout is sticking to his full inspirational form. I am happy that he wants to play hero more, and loved the "costume" change in the phone booth at the Daily Planet. It still feels like baby steps and they need to get the guy in costume and out there as Superman soon.

Any episode that has no Lois is not a great one and they need to get Erica in more episodes, so hopefully the rest of the episodes coming up will be better -- I'd like to see more Justice League action soon... I know that Zatanna is around the corner and that will be sight to see.

Lost - Let's do the Time Warp Again

I am starting to find the time paradox part of the story a tad confusing now in Lost and wondering what (if any) are the consequences of the majority of the Oceanic Six (Hurley,Jack,Kate, Sayid) being back with the Dharma Initiative (and obviously before the purge with the appearance of our young Ben -- and that was brilliant casting with the big eyes and intense stare) while somehow Ben, Lapidus and Sun got stranded in modern day (and all from the same plane -- and not counting Locke and the other survivors of this particular flight) yet there is also the difference that they landed on the test island while only specific players faded out of existence as if they were chosen by the time warp... it's all very intriguing and I can hardly wait to see who things turn out. Sawyer (aka La Fleur) is turning into a better leader than Jack on the Island and gets our gang accepted as part of the new arrivals coming in by submarine. Unfortunately Sayid gets discovered sneaking around the jungle and is captured and identified as a hostile (Dharma speak for others) and is thrown into prison. The drop dead ending with the young Ben approaching Sayid in the cell is the probable beginning of Ben's betrayal and killing of the Initiative, yet with Sayid thrown into the mix it opens up the probable can of worms ... and had me thinking "If you could go into the past and kill Hitler as a child would it prevent all the death and destruction that he caused later in life?" and I have the feeling that Sayid is having some similar thoughts to that at this time. Will he look at this as an opportunity to change the future or is that even possible? Miles doesn't seem to think so and has alluded to the fact that Daniel has left because of that reason (the whole Charlotte thing) but I have the feeling that things can be altered and that is part of the reason with their jaunt to the past.

It was a fantastic episode, and I am on pins and needles waiting to see more and per usual, it all happened too quickly and we didn't even get to see what was happening with Locke and his resurrection, not to mention the current predicament with Ben and the ever mysterious Christian and his cryptic mention to Sun and Lapidus have a huge journey before them.

Can this show get any better?

Dancing with the Stars - Week 2

The second week performances were a huge improvement over last week, but it looks like the injuries are still hitting our "Stars" and they are dropping like flies. This week we continued with our couples doing either this week's Latin dance, the Salsa or the Quickstep as the Ballroom part of the program. All the teams are guaranteed to perform each style before the first elimination so we pick up from last week's debut.


Unfortunately this week we didn't get to see Steve-O perform after a pretty bad back accident (that hit on his back looked very painful) and the fact that they got judged on their dress rehearsal performance instead of doing the routine.Poor Lacey had to handle the judges on her own and it was a shame not to see Steve-O there. Hopefully things are not too bad and the guy will be back next week.. they got a very crappy score and may have to dance for their lives (well not exactly but Tom Bergeron has been talking about the Dance Off for the bottom 2 couples) and I don't even know if our dear Steve-O will even be able to dance if he has too. That just sucks.

Holly Madison & Dmitry did a half decent performance with their semi Quickstep, but it was just not that interesting overall and Holly is just pretty with a huge rack. Sure there were a few jokes about her chest keeping them apart but they didn't impress me that much.

David Allen Grier & Kym did okay with their Salsa but David is still rubbing me wrong and he has a weird chemistry with the judges and the crowd. I think his saving grace will be the fact that he is not as bad as some of the other couples.

Denise Richards & Maksim improved over last week and Denise actually looked better this week doing the Quickstep ... I am still not sure if she will be around for the long term but better than before. Has anyone else noticed Karina keeping a close eye on Maks and Denise backstage? I think Denise's reputation has preceded her once again.

Belinda Carlisle & Jonathan ooomphed up the routine some what and they are trying harder but Belinda is just not comfortable with what she is doing and you can feel that over the airwaves, it hardly resembled a Salsa and that speaks volumes already. Unless there is some miracle I am not seeing a long term performance here either.

Ty Murray & Chelsie did a much better job and our cowboy pranced around that dance floor in an energetic Quickstep. He still looks very stiff and needs to loosen up but another celebrity that had some pretty major improvement over the previous week. I think some of it must be nerves for that first performance and the guy is way out of his element.

Shawn Johnson & Mark were fantastic and they did a great Salsa, and it is easy to forget that Shawn is only 17. Her technique is great and she is extremely precise with what she is doing, it's just that big fight with all her years of training as a gymnast. Mark was hilarious (and cute as hell) showing her how to move and got get into the Salsa.

Steve Wozniak & Karina did a Quickstep that made me think that Steve was going into cardiac arrest at about the 1 minute mark. I did notice Kathy Griffin in the audience encouraging Steve, but the guy is a hopeless cause and makes we wonder if this is the very Special edition of Dancing with the Stars once I heard about his foot problem ( I loved how they showed him getting an MRI for his foot problem -- money does have it's uses) but I am pretty sure that Steve will be in the Dance Off and can only hope for a quick and painless elimination. I am starting to feel sorry for Karina as she gets saddled with lame partners. I wonder if she pissed off one of the producers or if it's some kind of lottery system that determines the matches.

Chuck Wicks & Julianne disappointed with a pretty tame Salsa in which Julianne did all the heavy lifting. I hate it when the guys get all crazy and worried about looking fem when they dance, when they only need to see a hot Latin guy dancing to understand how it can be male and sexy and still have rhythm. I was happy the judges gave them a scolding but they are probably not in danger.

Lawrence Taylor & Edyta did an amazing Quickstep and Lawrence completely redeemed himself for last week's poor debut. The guy worked his butt off and deserved all the accolade's after his performance this week, he really stood out for me and I hope to see him around for quite awhile now.
Lil' Kim & Derek really brought it with their Quickstep and Kim is impressing the hell out of me. She has a beautiful presence on the dance floor and I am really liking their work together. They got a great score and I hope that this season's string of injuries and bad luck don't affect all the teams.

Melissa Rycroft & Tony were very impressive in their Salsa and although I have admiration for their great work ( and I really like Tony and am happy to see that he is now using Mak's stylist) I still have problems seeing our rejected Bachelor contender as a "Star" ... I try to accept that she was brought in as a last minute replacement but she is a tad too good for last minute and smells like a ringer. They got a very good score.. there is some talent there but it may take some time to get used to.

Gilles Marini & Cheryl closed off the show with a very impressive and the biggest scoring dance of the night with their Quickstep. Cheryl is definitely playing to win this season and hopefully her partner will be able to keep up with her. They got all 9s for their performance which is phenomenal this early in the competition.

I just hope it won't be a Dance Off between our 2 Steves this evening -- if anything it should be Holly and Steve Wozniak facing off with Steve leaving .. it's too early for Steve-O to leave and I hope that he isn't too injured to continue.

Battlestar Galactica - Daybreak Part 1

Battlestar Galactica started the beginning of the end with part one of Daybreak, and if last night's episode was any indication, it will be a huge frakking ending to the best frakking TV show out there. WOW! I am so hooked and was on the edge of my seat as things wrapped up in the first part of the finale. The series is going out with a bang (as promised) and it looks like our Battlestar will be doing one final mission and a one way trip to rescue Hera and fulfill a few prophecies.

The flashbacks back to Caprica before the fall were all fascinating, and it's an interesting way to go back to the very beginning and see some of the other impetus that brought our characters to where we are at in the story, that penultimate chapter before the end of this story. I know that there are other stories to tell and more of this fascinating universe that they have created and I am looking forward to more tales, but this story happening right now is so enthralling. We learn how Adama was reluctant to take on the Galactica, how Roslin was stricken with great personal tragedy and lost her father and sisters in a terrible accident and the transition scene from her dealing with her grief in the fountain transposing to her chemotherapy treatment was very well done. Seeing Kara and Zack (and her first meeting of his brother Lee) was poignant, and as it is history that we have not seen much of (but heard about earlier in the series) it gave even more insight into what makes Kara tick, and her ties with the Adama family. Seeing the first meeting between Gaius and Six was a shocker, Gaius was a complete prick with his infirm father, and after literally dismissing her, she turns around and in an very emotional turn of events get his father placed into a great nursing home to take care of him and worms her way into his heart. Six always surprises me with her level of emotion and empathy, pretty frakking awesome for a machine. Anders was the surprise of the flashbacks, showing his love of the mathematics of his sport and his quest for perfection which sounded pretty Cylon from way back when. The deeper you scratch the surface of all these characters the more and more you discover about each of them and how complex and fascinating each and everyone of them is.

With all of that going on, and the continuing dismantling of Galactica, Adama decides that they have a final mission, and they are going to rescue Hera from the Cylons. They draw a line down the center of the hangar and after a huge rousing speech, sides are chosen and they prepare for their final showdown with the Cylons. The biggest shock was seeing Roslin arrive, frail and dying but willing to fight with her last breath and I am in awe of the transformation of the character.

This is it.. the final act ... and I can hardly wait until next Friday to see how it all plays out. This was probably one of the best hours of television that I have ever seen and can now only wait for it to be surpassed with the finale. There are so many questions to be answered and I can hardly believe that it will all be over in just a week...

Dancing with the Stars - Season 8 Premiere

Things got off to a great start with the first episode of this season and it looks like there are a couple of front runners that will be worth watching. As usual it was quite the eclectic mix of C and D grade celebrities, but I did take offence to the comment that if it was really bad it was a Chloris Leachman. Chloris was not the worst dancer ever on the series ( I believe that title is with Master P) and certainly not merited. Chloris was really entertaining and deserved to hang around as long as she did.

Lil' Kim has been paired up with Derek Hough and she looks great -- much better than the last time she was on the tube (in that terrible Girlicious show) and she is able to show more of her musicality. She may be a bigger threat than some of the other competitors think and is one to watch. Her comment about being the black Barbie with Derek being her Ken doll was pretty funny.

Belinda Carlisle is being partnered by Jonathan Roberts will be Go Going soon if she doesn't get her groove on soon, her first performance was disappointing and her apparent lack of musicality is stunning. I loved her group way back in the 80s ... but think her time on this show will not be much of a comeback.

Cheryl is back with a vengeance and desire to win and has been teamed up with relatively unknown actor Gilles Marini (unless you count his naked passage in the Sex and the City movie), but she is pulling out all the stops and if Gilles can keep up with her (and win over the viewing public) then they will probably go far. Cheryl's biggest challenge will be working with a relatively unknown star (this season seems to be full of D List celebrities -- who's next? Kathy Griffin?)

Lawrence Taylor is the latest football player to hit the dance floor and is teamed up with the sexy and petite Edyta Sliwinska. Lawrence turned out to be a big disappointment and might be one of the teams in jeopardy. He is probably lucky that Woz was so terrible that it is pretty much a given that it he will be the first dismissed.

Steve-O is with Lacey Schwimmer and is already the crowd favourite, and he was much better than I expected. Lacey is a bit of a rebel so it's great that she has a partner that is willing and able to try other stuff, and I hope to see them around for quite awhile.

Chuck Wicks is teamed up with girlfriend Julianne Hough and she is certainly not dating him for his dancing ability. They look good together but it was not a terribly great dance number and our first husband and wife team will have to get it together better if they plan on sticking around. I guess that Julianne's Country career didn't take off that well as she was supposed to have left as of last season. Her return maybe shorter than expected.

Holly Madison was brought in to replace the broken Jewel and is with new dancer (and So you think you can Dance alumni) Dmitry Chaplin and they did a great job considering their lack of time to prepare for the competition. It's appears that this season's "Stars" are a tad more fragile than in previous years and the replacements come from even further down the totem pole. Holly doesn't have much of a Star pedigree, unless you count the abysmal Girls next Door and her life as a Playboy Bunny. This is ABC television right? Family values? Just joking...

Shawn Johnson is the lucky girl teamed up with Mark Ballas and they put out the best number of the evening that was refined and elegant. Shawn has all of her gymnastics background to help her out for the physical part of the competition, and has nice lines and a very strong body. She should be around for the long haul and looks to be a major front runner at this point.

Ty Murray is with new dancer (and another SYTYCD alumni) Chelsie Hightower ( I love how one show is producing dancers for another and they are not even on the same network) and Jewel's husband is pretty stiff... in fact he didn't show much potential but once again is probably saved because Woz was just that bad. Our rodeo boy might find this competition harder than the toughest bull he has ridden and probably won't be along for the ride for that long.

Steve Wozniak has decided to try this out (god knows why) and is with Karina Smirnoff. The performance was a complete disaster and quite pitiful... the guy is only there because he is filthy rich and if there is any intelligent design he should be gone next week. Very bad stuff .. someone needs to lose the reality show addiction and get a new hobby. Just because you are filthy rich should not mean that you are a "Star" and I think it is more of an insult to nerds and geeks than any kind of flattery.

David Alan Grier and Kym Johnson started off well and David is a tad weird but a much better dancer than I anticipated. He needs to get his personalities in order but once that is done he should do quite well. I am not sure if he will win of the public's vote with that weird attitude. He certainly left me with a bad impression and personally hope that he will be gone soon.

Denise Richards is hitting the floor with my favourite Maksim Chmerkovskiy and as much as I would love to see Maks win the title, but his partner looked like a frightened flamingo and didn`t do much for me or meet any expectations at all. Denise may like the bad boys but she has no idea what to do with him now that she has him. I think that ABC has dipped too far into the reality pool for this round and expect some magnificent crashes and burns.

Melissa Rycroft (one of those bimbos who nobody really cares about from the last Bachelor) is with Tony Dovolani so after a big 48 hours of training (and they were probably practicing until the very last second) expectations were not high. She was actually a very nice surprise and will be around for a few weeks. Of course the question is if our cheerleader is actually a Star but it looks like in the eyes of ABC (and that damn Bachelor franchise) it appears that she is. Like I said, too many lower list "Stars" in this round -- but at the rate they are dropping we may not have any choice.

Weekend Rant - The Week in Review

This week went by in record speed (I think losing that hour had a bit to do with it but just as much was the release of Watchmen in Imax which I thoroughly enjoyed. If you want to see an amazing and complex film -- I highly recommend checking it out, the film blew my mind.

It was a great week for the tube ( or the LCD to be a tad more modern) and I was impressed with the quality of some of the shows and the great writing. Monday nights are still ruled by The Big Bang Theory and the hysterical nerds. My other nerd fare for the evening, Chuck and Heroes are not hitting as many balls out of the park this season (although I do have to say that Chuck has been improving the past couple of episodes), but Heroes is really leaving me lukewarm and wondering why they have gone in this direction more than anything else. Medium is still the best bet for the evening and with such a daunting schedule, I am still running way behind on 24. I'll catch up eventually.

RuPaul's Drag Race is the fiercest show on the airwaves at this time and I can't get over the way over the top outfits, the fabulous make up or the brutal honesty of our girls. Bebe Zahara Benet is the hottest thing and my choice for Queen of this Ball, but dear little Ongina was so real and honest that I was heartbroken when she was let go. I can only dream for a better world. You may be gone from the competition Ongina but you will survive and only one thing to say - you better work it!

Tuesday is still a mostly Canuck TV night, and the regular mainstays like the Rick Mercer Report and This Hour has 22 Minutes are as scathing and hilarious as usual, but Project Runway Canada is boring me with the same formula over and over in their second season. Unless some huge disaster happens, Sunny is going to win the competition as he is miles above everyone else, is not saddled with the ego problems that seem to be a requisite for the majority of the competitors and is the highlight of each runway. Sure, Jessica may have gotten the top nod this week (I didn't really care for her design and can not understand her whole urban vibe that she is trying to pull off, the girl is from Toronto and not some hood in southern LA) and Jeff got the boot for being a bad designer and by his bad executed reversible (wtf?) disaster. When you have to start glueing pieces together or drawing on stitching then you might think you are in the wrong competition. It's a shame though, I did like him at the beginning but quickly realized that he (and several of the other designers), are way out of their element and the competition has this weird symmetry to it.

Lost has my head spinning in different time paradoxical ways with the gang being back in the 1970's and part of the Dharma Initiative. I can see more why Daniel's mom was so reticent about the Oceanic Six being on that last plane as it seems to have drawn all of the players back together on the Island, albeit at a different time and in different circumstances and it opens up a whole new can of worms with Ben being there. There is of course all the issues of Locke dealing with Ben (who killed him), the new identities of the Jin, Sawyer and Juliet and the rest of the motley crew that have now become part of the Dharma group, the ever mysterious and ageless Richard and the sudden arrival of the Oceanic Six. Things are complicated, interesting and making my brain hurt. I literally had kittens when our gang was time shifting and we saw the giant statue for a few seconds before they shifted again and it was gone once again. I wonder if there is some ancient people behind all the unique properties of the Island (Atlantis maybe?) but still have the feeling that it was aliens and possibly a crashed ship that has been on the Island for a very long period of time. This season has been astounding and I can't believe how great the writing has been.

Make me a Supermodel came back with it's second season, and it is as addictive as ever with mix of competitors, great challenges and sexy boys and girls. I am really liking Sandurst and it's nice to see one of the boys out and married (Shawn), and it think of Clark Kent kind of guy, Colin is completely adorable. The very very very androgonous Chris is a bit too much, and our good Mennonite girl Salome is reminding me alot of last year's winner, Holly. I don't think it will be the same kind of girl winning this year but am looking forward to the competition. Let the games begin!

Survivor Tocantins is barreling along and I really like the mix of characters this year. Taj is really growing on me and I love the sneaky alliance that she has going with Brendan, Sierra and Stephen. Coach and his minion Tyson are starting to get on my nerves and I hope that their team wakes up and gets rid of Coach soon, he talks big but sure as hell has not been walking the walk that goes with all his talk. Tyson is just turning into a jerk that likes to see people suffer, that is a bit too sociopath for me and we'll have to see what happens when and if things are shaken up. Our hidden Immunity Idols should be coming into play soon (it looks like they are hidden the same spot as the first Immunity Idols) and they are sure to shake up the game soon. I love it when we get to merge time and it's everyone for themselves, let's just see if they can get rid of some of the deadwood before that time. The location is stunning and I can't believe how amazing this show looks in all of its HD glory. Nice work Survivor.

Burn Notice finished up the season and redeemed it's self over the past few weeks with episodes that ended up the current storyline and brought the series back to the fun and dangerous feeling that it had is season one. It's great having Fiona and Michael back together (and they make such a hot couple) and I love how well Sam and Michael's mom are playing off of each other. Here's hoping they bring the show back for another season as it is still Top Twenty at the least and no one else has such a great voice over explaining the tricks of the spy trade. Michael Westen is the sexiest spy on TV at the moment (not to mentioned best dressed) and it would be a shame to miss out seeing more of his adventures.

Battlestar Galactica is amazingly good and I can't believe that in a couple of weeks it will all be over. I know that the finale will be atleast 3 hours long but have the nagging feeling that it will leave more questions than answers and possible/probable sequel or follow up to the series. It's heartbreaking to see Adama losing all of his important women at the same time, Galactica and Roslin. There is so much going on but you can feel the impending sense of finality with all things, the end of Galactica, the end of the quest for a new home, the end of their current way of life. I think we are in for a huge final blow out, with the winners picking up the pieces and creating a new race of Cylon/humans. All I know is that I can only hope for something to follow this (in the spirit of Galactica 1980), showing the new home.. and I have the feeling that the other Cylon homeworld " The Colony" is a key to all of this. It will be a trip to see this all play out over the next couple of weeks. All good things must come to an end eventually.

America's Best Dance Crew - May the best Crew win

I have mentioned a few times over the past few months my love of America's Best Dance Crew (ABDC) and other dance themed shows, and we are lucky enough in this day and age to have a plethora of shows to indulge this craving. ABDC has been having a phenomenal season and the past couple of weeks bringing us to the big Finale this week ( I can hardly wait) and it looks like for the first time we will have an all girl group taking home the top prize and the title of America's Best Dance Crew. I have been amazed each and every time by Beat Freaks, and I really hope that they take it all the way. Things are pretty tight with their biggest competition, Quest Crew has been biting at their heels all season, and have some of my favourite dancers from So you think you can Dance? Hok and Dominic. The guys are amazing but the girls from Beat Freaks are hitting just as hard and have surpassed any and all expectations each week. The best thing, the girls are doing it with out getting all hoochied up and are getting tons of votes based on their talent and guts.

You would have my vote if I could vote in Canada -- but am throwing it out there for the rest of you that can -- vote Beat Freaks and let the best Crew win.
