So you think you can dance

Watch the s*** hit the fan on this one tomorrow. My kids have been watching this TV3 dance competition for the past few weeks and tonight was the first time that the TV audience could vote by phone. Unfortunately some of the phone numbers given on the programme don't match the contestant (at least one and three have been transposed). So you spend your dollar voting for Leonid and find you have voted for Justin. Couldn't they just count the intentions? Well, no, because when you think you must have pressed the wrong button and ring back, you waste another dollar on the wrong contestant, further skewing the votes.
I think they will have to refund the calls.

It is a forgone conclusion anyway - 99% of the young who watched this programme (including the young female judge) wouldn't know what a good dancer is and and whose ability is limited to hip hop. Now, Leonid and Anita ( altho' not in the same league as Leo )were 'Class' - but I would be very surprised if they won, especially given the phone number fracas'.

Apart from that, does TV3 really want Leo to win as his spectacular and disciplined perfomances may shame many kids on their "hip hop govt. funded artist's lifestyle" into not entering future competitions such as this because the public may realise just what sort of eduction their tax dollars are paying for in the world of the arts!


Thoroughly enjoy your blog, keep up the good work!
