Hog Heaven
OK so I passed a major blog milestone last week with my first meme, so why stop there? I decided just 30 seconds ago that I should liveblog a TV show. Something significant. Well, So You Think You Can Dance premieres tonight. Well, right now! I'd better get to it.

Woo, crotch shot.

"Sex is back"
"No he's not"
Eww I remember this guy. Creepy, and it's hard to tell if he's really serious.
Oh, the theme music! God, I love this show. It just screams "summer" to me. Like hot dogs.
8:08
Cat Deely is explaining why they're holding auditions in New York. Apparently it's the dance capital of the world!
Nigel tells Mary she looks cute. I think she looks like a waitress at El Torito.
Wow, I'm really bad at this. Turns out blogging takes thought! Maybe I'll wait until the next commercial to post again.
8:12
First audition: Dancin' Derrick Bradley
He's certainly energetic. He looks like of like a marionette. But what demonic puppetmaster is pulling the strings?
Oh God he's worse after he's stopped. He's very sweaty too - and a medic is giving him oxygen! WTF?
OK, commercial time. The teaser for the next segment has more shots of Sex, who I now see is wearing gardening gloves. They seem to give him a better grip on the floor.
Does anyone else think Sex looks like David Duchovny on a really bad day?

Girl in a green shirt
I won't post her name to prevent malicious Googling. That and I forgot to type it because I was cringing in pain. Well, I can cross dance lessons off my "to-do list" if that's the result.
Anya and Pasha
Wow, what is it with all these sexy Russian dancers? I really hate Pasha's jeans though. Perhaps they got damaged when Anya forced him to come to the audition. Yes, Pasha is the boy! They're going straight to Vegas and they deserve it.
8:29
Lots of unnamed people are going to Vegas! We only get brief glances at their auditions, but some of them look pretty awesome.
Heather Zampier
She has lots of body art, including the phrase "To Breathe is to Dance" tattooed on the back of her neck, along with some unfortunate skin lesions. She is dancing to prove her doctors wrong! They said she would never dance again after hip surgery! She has some skills, but not a lot of ooomph. As Randy might say, "it was just aiiight for me". But she's going to Vegas! See, doctors are stupid.
More footage of Dancin Derrick. He is seriously disturbed.
And still, no Sex.

Jenna Dejosia
Another person who has a tattoo to prove she loves dance. Well, she can dance better than me, but that's not saying much. Oh God, she's had lessons too. And she gives lessons too. Nigel is very very upset.
Chasmar Wells
Oh dear. His arms are awfully long.
Melissa Browne
Eeek! The dancing version of Ugly Betty, according to Nigel.
Hanna-Lee S.
Knee socks! And another story of a dancer overcoming terrible injury to dance again! She's not straight to Vegas, but they keep her around to torture her further. I mean, see if she can learn choreography.
8:45
Liveblogging is negatively impacting my family life. Sigh. Well, I'll end here. But I reserve the right to liveblog again in the future, without warning!
