The only decent female finalists choreography that show has ever ever ever seen was Wade's foxes piece for Lacey and Sabra, which complete fucking brilliance went entirely over the heads of the idiot judges. I know you remember that. I still twitch when I think about the response it got.
To see that followed by ... whatever that vapid bouncing around was they made Katee and Courtney do last year, it almost made me cry.
Yes. Give it to Sonja this year. Please, God, give it to Sonja.
Re: the two male ballroom dancers, I wanted to put my fist through the TV screen, watching the way that was played out, but then, I reached my shrieking point on Nigel's "Stop dancing like a pansy" schtick about a third of the way into last season, so I suppose that was no surprise. What particularly struck me was how very stuck-in-the-box the judges seemed to be on the issue. Granted, you'd have to have a couple of guys with much better training and technique, and some hella better choreography skills, and you'd probably want to give them some contemporary training, as well as ballroom ... but I kind of want to see what you could come up with, if someone who knew what they were doing tried deconstructing ballroom and choreographing it for two men.
