With Vegas week, SYTYCD Season 2 is finally getting started.
This time around, 116 dancers made it to Vegas. Since 20 of them will make the
show, they each have a little less than a 1 in 5 chance of making it. Doesn’t
sound too scary when I put it that way, does it?
I should mention that the prize for this season is a little
different. Instead of winning $100,000 and a year in a gorgeous NYC apartment,
the winner of Season 2 gets a contract to perform in Celine Dion’s show in
Vegas, a new car, and $100.000. I’ve always wondered what on earth Nick
Lazarini did with that apartment to get them to change the prize. I like Nick,
so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they just decided it wasn’t the most
useful way to jump start a dance career. I also have to mention that I love the
irony of this being a show about finding a star – and then the prize is to be a
background dancer for a “real” star.
Like most Vegas shows, this episode is all about drama. Dancing
is hard! Lots of people get very sweaty! People get hurt (but never as badly as
the teasers suggest)! I would watch the show even if no one got injured.
Honestly.
