I was so impressed with the final 4's performances. I am still rooting for either Lex or Kione to win, but I would be fine if Taylor won as well. I really connected with Taylor for the first time and feel she deserves to win as well. I can't remember the last time I was so impressed with the Top 4 performance episode. It's really anyone's game at this point.

I thoroughly felt, and feel, the same, Piro. This is a truly outstanding Top 4 - without question the best there's ever been on the show.

It's hard to guess who the majority of voting viewers may have backed, and really does feel like it could be a very close toss up.

We sure are good: Things played out exactly how we had predicted and expected, with no curveballs thrown in to eliminations.

Absolutely phenomenal finale show! So many superb routines and great moments! I thought Travis Walls' new routine that he performed with Lex, in which Lex played Travis' demon in the mirror, was exceptional!

I give the finale show a perfect 10 score (not counting Vanessa's song, that she did herself no favours by singing)! Here's a big "Woo Hoo!" send-off, to all concerned, on Mary's Hot Tamale train!

Thanks for the great review!! I will be watching it later today. I think I may know who the winner is but does it really matter??? I think we would all be happy with any result..LOL

I may have to fast forward through Vanessa's performance.

I know one thing, I will surely miss Mary...WOO HOOO!!

I watched the show during its live broadcast last night, but also recorded it, so definitely look forward to sometime later today re-watching all favourite performances and other wonderful moments of the show.

We were talking about Mia Michaels a week or so back. She for sure has had stuff done to her face since the other year. There's an ongoing weird expression that her face now maintains, plus her teeth look somehow artificial. (I've last week and this also thought she looked like under the influence of something during the live shows. Looked quite glazed over, like in her own little world. She looked properly tuned in, however, when they showed her in pre-taped segments.)

Wow, I don't remember any other season that went exactly how (I think) it should have gone!! We predicted pretty good!!!

The show was great as usual. Vanessa, Vanessa..we will just forget about that performance. As long as she thinks she did a good job....

I agree. Mia definitely had work done and her teeth look huge and overly white! I still get a phony vibe from her. She is in her own world and is her biggest fan. I must say I didn't really enjoy her group routine.

Where does Travis come up with these crazy, interesting ideas? Lex has turned into not only a fabulous dancer but a great actor. YEAH WINNER!!!

Once again, we are in full agreement: I definitely was not impressed by Mia's new full-group routine, which just looked disorganized, and like a bunch of people moving around unappealingly, and it pretentiously being passed off as supposedly something important because Mia said it was. That was the least of the night's dance performances.

On the other hand, Travis' and Lex's new routine thoroughly wowed me, and I found myself re-watching it several times today (by far more than any other routine), I was so mesmerized and impressed. Lex looked and seemed genuinely creepy (in an entirely good kind of way) playing Travis' demon who was out to get him, with the "evil" fingers, and all the twisting body motions (that had me thinking of a shape-shifter, and/or a wildly flowing stream of ectoplasm). Hopefully we won't ever find demons hiding in our mirrors and out to get us!

By the way, here's that routine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_3f588Qiyk

Vanessa's singing was, dare I say, pitiful. lol. It's unfortunate that the guy's singing sounded good - then V warbled her parts and the song died a tragic death. Vanessa should perhaps be named host of a new competition series sarcastically titled So You Think You Can Sing? lol

Oh - a routine I especially enjoyed seeing again - in addition to the one that past contestant Mark choreographed - was the routine for the Top 100, from way back in the beginning. I had forgotten about that routine, and it was fun to see again. I noticed, during it, that - as things coincidentally wound up turning out - the Top 4 finalists got placed front-and-centre, or in feature moments, in certain moments of that routine. Clearly, it was evident to the choreographer (Mandy Moore, I believe), from early on, that they weren't contestants to stick in the background.

I watched ABC's New Year's Rockin' Eve live broadcast the other night and was very surprised to see that Kione (SYTYCD's 2017 1st Runner Up) was one of Camila Cabello's dancers during the performance of "Havana".

You just never know who might pop up "out of the blue" when watching t.v. or, perhaps, a music video!

By the way, Happy New Year 2018!
