Eric: Thanks for this great blog and my introduction to the show. What are you doing next?

Question: Do you think Nigel is a little too Dirty Uncle on this show? I do....

You're welcome, Cathy! I'm so glad you liked the show. I really think it is a more inspiring program than "Idol" in many ways, even if this particular season was somewhat lacking in personality. (And yes, Nigel definitely has a touch of Dirty Uncle to him; I chalk it up to him being a cheeky Brit. And also a perv.)

As for what's next, I'll continue to cover "Dance Your Ass Off" and "More to Love," and I'll periodically check in with "Megan Wants a Millionaire" on VH1. But those are more for curiosity's sake. For the shows I can really sink my teeth into, look for me to cover "Project Runway" when it comes back August 20, "Top Model" when it starts up on September 9, and "So You Think You Can Dance" Season 6 when that ALSO returns September 9. And believe it or not, it's only a few months before "Idol" starts up with Season 9. So the blog will be plenty busy, of that you can be assured. Hope you join us!

Another great blog Mr. Reznyak! I didn't participate as much in this one as far as comments, but I was reading! I'm happy for the Jeanine win, thought she was super cute and really impressed me with her from the beginning. I really, really liked her dance with Philip and was so glad that it was a judges pick as well.

I'm ready for the next season, now that I've had a taste. My husband asked, and I realized I did not know... what did the winner, win? Besides the title of "America's Favourite Dancer" (did you see that? it was said with a British Accent).

And I read a rumor that Nigel said he'd be happy to have Paula Abdul come and be a judge on their show... think that will happen?

Good questions, Bernie. Although I can't find it officially sourced anywhere, I believe the winner got $250,000, the cover of some dance magazine whose name I didn't catch, and the title of America's Favorite Dancer. For a month. Until the new season starts. (It should be noted that the prizes on this show change pretty frequently; in the first season I believe the winner got some sweet apartment in LA or NY and a chunk of money; in Season 2 Benji won a spot performing in Celine Dion's Vegas show, which I believe he turned down in favor of a cash reward.)

Also, I didn't know this until just now: Jeanine is only 18! I figured she was finished with college but she hasn't even STARTED yet! Crazy...

Re: Paula, we'll see. I believe Nigel is no longer associated with "Idol," so whatever negative feelings Paula has toward that crew (and she reportedly has a lot of them) may not splash back on to him. The show could use her visibility, and let's face it, the woman is going to need a job sooner rather than later.

But I would hope that if they do bring her on, she's not a permanent judge, like Mary or Nigel. I quite like the set-up as it is, with the two stalwarts plus the rotating third choreographer. Putting Paula in the mix on a regular basis as a third regular or, God forbid, a replacement for Mary, would seriously screw with the chemistry of the show. Besides, the way Paula blathers, she'd bring the show to a standstill. (Although she has always been more renowned for her dancing than for her singing, so she might actually have some constructive shit to say on this show.)

Some food for thought. Certainly there are a couple guest judges on the show I could live with never seeing again (LIL C). Although having both Paula AND Toni Basil in the guest judging mix would be redundant. Their dance styles are very similar, and they've had basically the same career. One just managed to execute the shtick a little better than the other.

The winner gets $250,000 for winning.

And Paula Abdul would at least be an improvement from Lil C.
