Disaster!

(Life imitating art! Look no further than So ... Dance!)


I was watching a movie once about a really big boat, a gigantic boat, like the biggest passenger ship ever built at the time, and it was making its maiden voyage to America. Every one was having a great time and enjoying the trip and then BOOM! Out of nowhere the boat hits an iceberg and sinks. After the movie, I got to thinking. I know this was just a movie, but could a disaster like that really happen in real life? It shook me up, but then I realized I was being crazy. Things like Titanic ships sinking only happen in fiction. Something like that could never happen in real life.

Or so I thought! But real life disaster struck close to home last night on So ... Dance! The worst possible thing we, as a society could envision, happened. Evan made the finals! That's like a 1000 Titanic ships all sinking at the same time, only in real life. Why did this happen!!!!!! Poor Ade finally went home, along with Melissa who looks like she's been doing push-ups non-stop since she started the show so it may be a blessing she is finally gone. Seriously, she is starting to look like Bride of Incredible Hulk.

(No joke, this guy really made the finals!)

But Ade! I know, I know. You're thinking "But he probably wasn't going to win, so who cares?" That's not the point. While Mr. Pick had no real shot at the title, at least he would be in the mix. Now all we get is Evan making weird faces and uncomfortably dancing sexy dances while laughing that he's playing a married guy even though he's not married or proposing to a girlfriend even though he doesn't really have a girlfriend in real life! Hahahahahahahahaha.

On a side note, bringing back dancers from last season may not be in So ... Dance's best interest. Isn't it glaring how much more personality and charisma those guys had? Sure, they've done those dances over and over on tour but you get the feeling that anyone of them would win this year ... even possibly Mark. So we lose Ade, we get reminded that last year was infinitely better, and we get seven whole days to contemplate a world where Evan could be America's favorite dancer, the highest honor an American citizen ca ever hoe to attain. You realize that if he wins, we have to see him all next season. WTF! What does that all mean?

I guess that life isn't fair. At least in that movie, the girl got to keep that big diamond at the end of the fateful trip to make up for losing Leo, so at least she had that going for her. But that was a movie. All we get is Brandon (the best dancer and only guy who could compete with last year's crew but who was going to be in the final no matter what so it's not really a bonus), Kayla (really good but if it comes down to her and Evan I will start frying up my hat because it's all over, what with the way those pre-teen girls vote), and Jeanine (the underdog who has proven her worth). Where's my diamond? Oh, that's right. He's gone. ADDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! You will be missed.
