Break it down now!

So You Think You Can Dance SEASON 10, EVERYBODY!!!

Be honest, did you think it would last this long? I did. I decided not to blog during the auditions, because, let's face it, there's not much to talk about. I did like, however, that they didn't focus very much on the crazy, horrible dancers.

But a question has been plaguing me and mine, WHERE IS TYCE??? If you know the answer, please tell me in the comments. I miss him and we all hope he choreographs some routines this season.

So, last week we had our Top 20 announced. And I love the way they shuffled between the Green Mile and the live show with the dances. They were all wonderful and unique, and the Top 10 Boys with the sand was pretty dang awesome. In case you missed it, our T20 are:

Boys

Aaron Turner (Tapper)Alan Bersten (Ballroom)BluPrint (Animation) FavoriteCarlos Garland (Contemporary)Curtis Holland (Tapper)Fik-Shun (Hip-hop) FavoriteJade Zuberi -- I call him Detroit (Animation) FavoriteNico Gretham (Contemporary) FavoritePaul Kamiryan (Ballroom)GirlsAlexis Juliano (Tapper)Amy Yakima (Contemporary)Brittany Cherry (Ballroom)Hayley Erbert (Contemporary) FavoriteJasmine Harper (Contemproary)Jasmine Mason (Jazz) FavoriteJenna Johnson (Ballroom) FavoriteMakenzie Dustman (Contemproary) FavoriteMalece Miller (Contemporary) FavoriteMaria Spears (Hip Hop)

So, how did last night's episode go with partners? Let's find out.

Judges: Nigel, Mary, Wayne Brady

First off.... Did anyone else notice that honkin' diamond on Cat's left ring finger? Hmmmm??? That's the second week in a row it's been on there. I'm just sayin'.

I want to come out and say this, which will make this a short post. I LOVED all the routines. I thought everyone did fantastic. Even the routine that the judges weren't too impressed about. So there. And that opening number? Favorite so far. :)

So, without further time-wasting, here are the routines from last night!

Freebee Friday!

This is a commercial that's currently on the air where I live. I can't help but chuckle whenever I see it. I hope it brings a smile to your face this fine Friday!





UPDATE:

 I wanted to add an extra Freebee Friday! to today's post, because I'm just so dang excited about this. I hopped on over to Amazon this morning, and this is what greeted me:

Not only is Caste #4 overall for Children's Sci-fi, but it's #1 for their Hot New Releases for Children's Sci-fi! I think this news officially makes this Friday the best Friday in the history of my life.

Promo price and a giveaway!

CASTE has been out for a few weeks now, and I've gotta say, IT'S DOING GREAT! I couldn't be more thrilled with how it's going.

So, to help it out even more and get the word out there, I need your help. I'm doing a $0.99 promo (sidebar: what the heck happened to the cent sign? Anybody? I found it so useful) from tonight midnight (June 18th) until midnight Sunday, June 23rd.

How can you help, you ask? Simple. Reblog this, Tweet it out, Facebook share it, write a review/rate CASTE on Goodreads, Shelfari, BN.com, Amazon, etc (but please, ONLY if you've read the book, and give it an honest review/rating. I don't want to be one of those slimy, underhanded people that bumps their book's rating by cheating), put it on tumblr, etc. Share the links for each of those you do with me and for everyone, you'll get your name put into the pot once. At the end of the promo period I'll pull 3 winners and send you a signed copy of my book!

How does that sound?

Well, what are you waiting for?! Get out there and spread the word and win yourself a book!

I choose to believe this is an ad for being a writer and not for Play Station. :)
