» (Mincing) Words…
"I’m never worried if anybody’s gay. What I don’t like on the dance show, to be frank, is effeminate boys that mince around the stage. I don’t care if they’re gay or straight. That’s got nothing to do with it for me." So said So You Think You Can Dance judge Nygel Lythgoe when asked his opinion on queer contestants. [AfterElton] |

So we brought you one of last night's worst performances from So You Think You Can Dance. Now how about one of the best? Meet Brandon Bryant, who — unless some catastrophic event takes place — is going to the finals. (Also: How hot is this guy?) Seriously. Watch this routine. |

A real tranny mess
So, um, who else is obsessed with So You Think You Can Dance? It's practically required viewing around Queerty HQ, which means we were falling all over ourselves when this little episode to your left took place. Oh Nigel, you have such a way with words. |

Get It?!
If you're like us, you lapped up last night's So You Think You Can Dance season premiere. Obviously we don't have any favorites yet, but this popper - Robert Muraine - absolutely blew us away. But, yes, we agree with Mia Michaels - Muraine may not be of this world. Speaking of out of this world - what about that guy who danced in his underwear? What a mess! Check him out, after the jump. |

Congrats to Sabra
In the end, it was neither Neil Haskill or Danny Tidwell who took home the $250,000 prize on last night's So You Think You Can Dance. The winner, as you already know by now, was Sabra Johnson. Which suits us just fine — the girl deserved it. That, and last night's finale revisited some of our favorite Neil and Danny performances. Bonus clip of Neil's farewell, after the jump. (Who are his "friends" Zack and Michael out in the audience?) CONTINUED » |

As much as we wanted to see Neil Haskell kick ass on last night's So You Think You Can Dance performance finale (results finale is tonight), it just wasn't there. Instead, the night went to Danny Tidwell and Sabra Johnson with the above performance. And as for the season's only opportunity for male-male and female-female partnerships to take the stage? Lacey Schwimmer and Sabra's "fox" routine was a bust, and Danny's "masculine" princely duel with Neil was sorely lacking. Now it's your call: Who's your pick for the $250,000 winner? |

Even if you haven't been watching So You Think You Can Dance, you'll be able to appreciate this clip from last night's show. We're down to the final six, which means we're left with three beautiful ladies and three outrageously good looking men. Oh, and they all happen to be talented dancers. Perhaps our favorite? Neil Haskell, who's been dancing since he's 5. Sure, he'll get your attention even more when he takes his shirt off (like he did last week), but this little routine with partner Sabra had us working TiVo's instant replay. |

In addition to mentioning the show's respectful judges (a radical departure from American Idol's increasingly snarky jurists), Zulkey speculates So You Think You Can Dance? may be the gayest show on network television. Or, at least the most gay friendly: It might be the most gay-friendly show on network television. This is obviously hard to prove. However, if sweeping generalizations may be made, a show about dancers is likely going to net a few gay male contestants. Unlike on other network shows, though (reality and scripted), they’re not turned either into bland sexuality-free Ken dolls or mincing attitude queens. There are some gay folks on the show. They’re here to dance. That’s just about it. It’s refreshing. It sure is, Zulkey. It sure is… Plus, last year's winner, Benji Schwimmer, stands as the gayest thing on two legs, even if he's "straight". |
