Is So You Think You Can Dance Canada still on?
I know the show started a couple of weeks ago, but since then I haven’t heard a thing about it. Is anyone watching? Should I be?
Also, wouldn’t it be great if CTV alternated seasons of SYTYCDC and Canadian Idol? I miss Sass Jordan more than I excted.

Some people just can’t get enough of dancing reality shows!
So You Think You Can Dance Canada Season 1 finalist Vincent Noiseux and Season 2 finalist Nicolas Begin have made it to the finals of Randy Jackson Presents: America’s Best Dance Crew.
Their crew, called Blueprint Cru, hail from Montreal and have already made history as the first-ever foreign crew to compete on RJPABDC!
The finale airs tonight and the Canadian dancers will now face-off with fellow finalists Poreotix to find out if they will take the $100,000 grand prize back to Canada.
Vincent Noiseux advanced to the Season 1 Top 8 on So You Think You Can Dance Canada, while Begin made it to Season 2′s Top 16.

If you’ve watched a dance show in the past five years, chances are you’ve seen Blake. Whether it was on the awesome and under-appreciated MTV reality show DanceLife, or on both the American and Canadian editions of So You Think You Can Dance. (He actually finished in the Top 6 of the show’s first season in 2005.) It is pretty hard to ignore Blake’s presence in the new world of dance.

Okay- there are tons of exciting things going on in Calgary over the next couple of days, so I’m grouping them all together. That way it makes it harder for you to ignore them….right?
(Sorry in advance for all you non-Calgarians, but maybe you can pass these events on to people you know who live here. Because let’s face it, we all know someone that lives here.)
Calgary Artists for Haitian Relief: The huge concert event is taking place tomorrow and will feature a ton of Calgary’s best musicians. Some of the acts on the bill include: Michael Bernard Fitzgerald & the Loud Love Choir along with – The Dudes, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra with Kris Demeanor, Corb Lund, Woodpigeon, The Polyjesters and Denise Clarke, Jan Lisiecki, Sheri D. Wilson, Bravo!FACTS, Cantos Music Foundation, DJ Rob Faust, and Curiously Canadian Improv.
All the money raised will got to help a Canadian-founded Haitian orphanage that was destroyed in the earthquake that devastated the country earlier this year. The orphanage – Le Foyer de Filles Chretiennes Orphanage – was founded by Frank Chauvin, a retired police detective from Windsor, in 1988.

So You Think You Can Dance Canada Auditions: The audition tour wraps up in Calgary this weekend. The last day to audition is this Saturday, March 13th at MacHall on the University of Calgary campus. I obviously won’t be auditioning, I don’t feel it would be fair, since it is so obvious that I would win. The auditions are also going to feature a special guest judge named Stacey Tookey. Click here for more information about the auditions.
Dragon’s Den Auditions
If you think you have a business idea that could benefit from the $$$ of the Dragons, then make sure you go to the auditions. They’ll be taking place on March 19th and 20th at the Carriage House Inn. Click here for details. Remember, you probably won’t be pitching for the Dragons here, but if you can make it pass the tough as nails producers, you probably got a good shot.

I couldn’t sleep last night. I’m not really sure why, so I did what I always do when I can’t sleep, think of TV schedules. It’s like sheep, only with bad reality shows, doctors and cops.

“Are they putting something in the water in Lethbridge?”

After months and months of advertising and teasing So You Think You Can Dance Canada finally has a premiere date! It’s this Thursday September 11th! I’m not really sure why CTV thought Thursday needed another show, but apparently they think their show can compete with shows like The Office, ER, Survivor, 30 Rock and CSI.
Will you be getting on the hot tamale train?

It’s only a couple of weeks until the Fall TV season starts up again and with that studios are making a whole lot of changes! People of are coming, people are going. It’s like my co-workers bedroom for god sakes. (Not an insult-more of a jealous remark)
Here is a quick re-cap:
SYTYCD- Remember last week when floppy haired Nigel implied that he wished he could get rid of Jessica and Comfort instead of Thayne? Well got his wish….sorta. Jessica and her boobs had to bow out of the competition this week because of an injury. But that means Comfort is back in, hence the previous sorta. I guess Jessica will be on the show tomorrow to say goodbye to the her fan (yes, I meant singular) and Mary’s grave-raising laugh.
CSI: It finally happened. Gil Grissom is packing his bags come mid-season. That’s right good ol’ William Peterson is wrapping up his time on TV’s #1 show CSI. He’ll stick around as excutive producer while his character is probably going to go chase down Jorja Fox, which is always the right thing to do after someone hates you so much they quit their job and move out of town. Oh well, I guess there is always Fear 2.
Friday Night Lights: When the show returns to NBC in January (and DirectTV in the Fall), it’s going to look a little different, that’s because former series regulars Scott Porter (Jason Street) and Gaius Charles (Smash) are being bumped to the sidelines. I understand demoting the Jason Street character, I feel a show about football can only include their once star quarterback so much….especially because he is now in a wheelchair. He always kinda reminded me of Duncan from Veronica Mars after we found out who killed Lily Kane. There just wasn’t a need for him any more. I do hope they follow up on him having a kid now though. I am perplexed by the loss of Brian “Smash” Williams, who always added so much intensity and risk to the show. I am however not complaining, I’m just happy to have a third season. Plus if it means we get ourselves some more Landry and Tyra, I am definitely game.
