Assorted fannishness of the AI/SYTYCD sort

[jlh]

I have been greatly entertained the past two weeks with the steady disappearance of Ryan's post-St. Tropez belly. While he tucked in Miami (well, ish; it was all a little loose) he was back to untucked in the studio yesterday. I was thinking about a Rymon ficlet on this topic but it would be too sappy for words. That said, I believe in my heart that Simon thinks it's funny.

I was very well pleased with the results of SYTYCD. sistermagpie and I both cheered when it was announced. For some reason I wasn't quite as emotionally invested in this season as in other seasons even though the overall quality of the dancers was much higher. (Oddly, I feel the same about Top Chef.) But their personalities weren't as clear, and I don't mean just compared to Benji; Donyelle, Travis, Heidi's improvement, they all seemed to be on an emotional journey during the course of the show that was fun to watch. This year they were all a bit more self-contained.

I love every time we get a little snippet from Chris Richardson on the road and he says he's spending all of his time writing songs. I'm so excited that he's writing for people other than Blake, only because I knew he would write with Blake regardless, and the early word from Sligh was that Chris is this great songwriter, so it's fun to see that happening. It seriously gets me all fangirlish. Maybe he'll be this season's Tamyra, and write someone else's winning song.

You watch SYTYCD! This is the first season I've watched the whole way through (I started last season at the selection of the top 10), so I don't have a good basis for comparison. But I squealed with delight when I found out who the winner was.

I watched most of season 1 and all of season 2. It's a really fun show and in a lot of ways is better television than AI, but AI has better personalities. I can keep watching AI just for Ryan and the judges but SYTYCD gives better performances.

Please write the ficlet!

There's been a Rymon draught! Please try to write the ficlet! I think it would be cute!

Thanks Eph! I think it will pick up when the show is back on and they give us new "canon". But I did try to write the ficlet … and I couldn't make it work! So I put up something else but I hope you liked that!

I get the feeling that everyone around Ryan, Simon included, think his food issues are funny and that Ryan does not find it humorous. At all.

No, I think he's like, "HA HA" and feels that no one understands his pain and gets all emo and sulky, and so Simon laughs even harder.
