Subject: Benji Wins "So You Think You Can Dance" Competition...

Written By: LyricBoy on 08/16/06 at 9:03 pm

Excellent.  8)  He was my favourite from the start.

I do have to say that it was a bit weird as to how hot his dances were with Heidi, considering that she is his cousin.  :-X

Congrats Benji !  America's favourite dancer!!!  :)

I don't normally see this show, but I decided to look at fragments of it last night. Recording artists Fergie (of the Black Eyed Peas) and Ciara also made special performances.

I was rooting for Travis, but the Final Four were all fantastic and each deserved to win... I'm hoping the tour comes to a city near me! :)

Fergie was not bad at all.  And she didn't pee her pants this time!  ;D

That's what happens when you don't keep on your popular television programming!

Benji--wasn't he that dog?
;D

I didn't watch the season--the only episode I saw was last night's finale, and that was enough for me to see that Benji deserved to win. He's a great dancer, performer, and he has the best personality. I was so happy for him when he won. His dad cried, that was sweet. And I agree, it was kinda weird that he and Heidi's dancing together were hot considering the fact that they are cousins. I also liked Travis a lot, but in the end, Benji deserved it a little more than he did.

Benji's father is actually a dance pro in his own right, known as "The King of Swing" dance style.  When Benji did his first audition, several of the judges said that they knew of his father's rep.  8)

I was the right age for both movies when they came out.  There were a some adult things (not as in "dirty") in both plots that went over my head when I was six or seven, but who doesn't like to see a pooch solve a crime?

Don't forget about Benji and Chevy Chase in "Oh Heavenly Dog"!
:)


Good thing they cut out that vivisection scene from "For the Love of Benji," better for the targetted demographic that way, I think it's going to be in the Joe Camp director's cut DVD.

A funny one indeed, but I suspect it might have been an inspiration for the "Look Who's Talking" movies, one of the greatest crimes against cinema every perpetrated!!!!

Yes...with Chevy Chase doing the voiceover for the dog, after Chevy's human character had died. His human character had reincarnated as the dog, as I recall.
