Courtney Galiano: The End? Josh: The Winner?
I hate to be the bearer of bad news this morning, so I'll let DialIdol be the bearer: Commack's Own Courtney Galiano will not only lose tonight's final of "SYTYCD," but will lose without scoring almost any votes!
Improbable - at least the latter part? Of course, but that's what DialIdol seems to be implying in its latest survey.
DialIdol? You don't know about it? Well just let me tell you then: It's an insanely accurate measurement tool that gauges busy signals of various reality comps on vote night ("AI" being the most famous.) At least I believe that's how it figures this out. The site doesn't claim absolute accuracy (and in fact it's whole MO is to help fans dial in their choice), but it's accurate enough to make even Karnac the Mag envious.
Who's tonight's winner? It appears that Joshua Allen has it by a hair; Twitch Boss is just behind him, while my pick for the winner's circle - Katee Shean - is waaaay back of the pack. So it doesn't look good for her either.
Truth be told, Courtney - by her own admission - never had much of a chance to win this, as good and talented as she is. Joshua and Twitch? I think they really sealed this last night with that show-stopper ballet-hiphop mash routine from "The Nutcracker." They both had remarkable nights.
Again, DialIdol could be completely off-base here. So let's just wait...

Good Evening So You Think You can Dance,
Well Nigel and Mary I have to say that I’m extremely disappointed in what transpired tonight. Katee came in ahead of Courtney. Yes she danced well, but in my opinion, Courtney showed far more passion than Katee ever would have. Secondly, I feel it’s a travesty that Katee was even given a second chance due to what she pulled in the auditions. She does not nor will she ever deserve what she received based on what transpired during auditions and to be honest, Courtney deserves the top spot for that very reason. Finally, Your whole voting process is very flawed as the whole season I tried to vote by phone and I was never, ever able to cast a single vote because the lines rang busy for the full 2 hours that I was allowed to vote. I can assure you that if I was able to cast a vote, Courtney would have received every one of my votes.
I Love your show, but if next season does not change with regards to the way you are allowed to vote (via the internet) and I witness another travesty like Katee I will never watch your show again.
Disappointed,
Michael
Dear Michael,
I see your favorite didn't win. So did mine. Tough luck. That's the basis of this democratic system.
But trash-talking about other contestants, especially one who didn't win, now that appears to be a negative psychological bias, one that perhaps instilled by Fox right from the beginning when they aired the "I don't think I will come back next year" segment. Because after all, the show is the ONLY career outlet for dancers. I mean, look at the guy who called himself "Sex". He keeps coming back, which means he has passion. And he sure has lots of "personality". So maybe they should put him on the final next year.
You are right. You shouldn't be watching the show next year. But I sure will miss your comments. It gave me a good laugh.
Still laughing,
Blackheart
