See? Toldya...Courtney Galiano's still in "So You Think You Can Dance."
(Actually, I sort of predicted her demise tonight, but there is a little-known TVzone law: When I make a dancing show prediction, it is almost certain to be wrong.)
Here's the brief I wrote for tomorrow's paper; don't have time to write an actual blog because I have to watch the end of "Burn Notice." Adios, my friends...
"Courtney's still in it.
Commack native and Knick dancer Courtney Galiano, 20, kept her run going last night on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance." She is officially one of the final five, a pretty good spot to be on a show that takes dancing a lot more seriously than the bigger ABC hit, "DWTS." Her survival wasn't the biggest surprise on TV this summer: She's consistently good, but hasn't been frontrunner,as far as judges or fan polls are concerned. Twitch Boss, break dancer extraordinaire, will also move on.
You don't know who Courtney is? An introduction: She lives in Dix Hills, is a professional dancer, and - as she says in an interview on Fox's website, "I am a dancer for the New York Knicks [and] I get to dance in front of people all the time!" The show's finale airs next week, and there are so-called "front-runners;" Courtney is not among them. Favorites, among judges and those pesky fan polls, are Joshua Allen and Katee Shean."
[But seriously, Gay, what do you know about dancing?]
