Evan's Solo
Cat gets Evan choked up when talking about his brother.  Aww, the Brothers Kaspr-mazov.  Or the Kasprzak Attack, if you will.  As is the case with me, staring at Randi's butt was his favorite routine of the season.  His solo is smooth and cool, and if this was 50 or 60 years ago, he would own the freaking world.   Mary once again compares him to the old greats, and if you haven't yet, I beg everyone reading this go out and watch Singin' in the Rain.  Your opinion of Evan's style of dance will be radically altered forever, and for the better.  Nigel continues his hardest to try and get either Brandon or Jeanine to win by bad mouthing Evan.  I think it's time for a Kasp-comeback, America!

They have a super fast jive, only it's set to country music and Evan is wearing cowboy boots.  Evan the cowboy?  Evan the nasty boy?  What the folk is this show doing to him?  Either going after the country demo is a very shrewd way to get people in the midwest to vote for them, or it's a way to make me hate them forever.

The Shankster whines about how the routine was too weak for a finale, and once again, he gets booed.  He says "Twice in one night?  Score!"  That almost makes me forget how much I hate him.  Almost.  This is followed by Mary saying "A-number one."  When did the judges start talking like me and my friends circa 2003?  The crowd chants Evan's name, and I'm still smelling a Kaspr-wave of support.


Kayla's Solo
Kayla is sweet and fine, but I don't see her as a star.  Yes, her addiction routine with Kopono was amazing, and my single favorite piece of the season, but I give the majority of the credit for that to Mia Michaels.  For me, her solo is the weakest of the four, but her song ("Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics) is the best for me.  Instead of talking about her sub-par solo, Shank-a-lank-a-ding-dong says that she's in an elite class of other dancers from past seasons he's loved like Travis and Danny and a bunch of others who DIDN'T WIN.  That's one heck of a backhanded compliment.


Jeanine and Brandon: Choreographed by Louis Van Amstel
Gee, does anyone think it's a coincidence that the last performance of the finale features the two performers the judges have been hyping all night long?  It's painfully obvious the judges want one of these two to win, probably Jeanine so they can finally have another female winner.  These two are certainly being tested with a difficult paso doble. 

Wow, that was intense, and it felt like two Highlanders battling to the death.  I think the song is either from one of the Matrix sequels or it's a remixed version of the Mortal Kombat theme song.  Seriously, I kept waiting for someone to scream "FINISH HIM!"


And for me, that's exactly what happened, and I've decided that Jeanine delivered a Fatality.  Yeah, as much as I love and want Evan to make a comeback, after this finale, I'm going on record: Jeanine WILL win tomorrow night.  Find out if I'm right tomorrow night at 8pm for a special two-hour finale!

Cat asks the judges for predictions, and Adam says nothing, forcing Cat to ask "Mary, can you be more of a man than Adam?"  Oh snap, you sexy, sexy hostess.  At least Nigel has the balls to narrow it down, believing either Brandon or Jeanine will win.
