So You Think You Can Dance

[McFarkus]

I saw it and laughed and laughed. The guy who was wearing his kilt too low looks like the kilt was probably too small for him - couldn't wear it any other way.

I wonder, wasn't there a hip-hop celeb who wore a kilt backwards recently? It may be that was the only 'role model' they had to go on.

Do you think this will end up on YouTube?

I was taping the show for a friend who lost power...

My wife called me into the room saying that they were "dancing in kilts!"

Was doing the dishes, and the GF called me over to see.

Ahahahahahaha!!! That's hilarious! Come on, guys... admit it with me!

My name is Ethan, and I watch So You Think You Can Dance. Now it's your turn...

I'm just glad to hear I'm not the only guy who watches that show.

I'm not sure Twitch was wearing it backwards, though. The... outfit... was doing a weird bell-shaped thing at the bottom and I could have sworn I saw pleats on the front and the back. I don't know, though, they didn't show any really good views from that reverse side.

Joshua's outfit simply looked like an unbifurcated bottom in a cotton tartan material - there was no pleating or wrapping to it at all.

I only saw this because my wife was flipping through the channels while I was working out on the treadmill. I agree with pdcorlis, it was painful to look at. However, my rage did help me step up my work out last night.

My two cents. Regardless of whether it was backwards, too short, too long, too much leg, those were costumes for a dance show and I would bet, to most (millions) who watched the show, they are something called kilts. Most wouldn't care whether they were backwards. I cared some and immediately noticed, only because I know a thing or two about kilts BUT I was HAPPY to have seen kilts on national US television being used by these truly talented, TERRIFIC dancers on a show that personally I consider the ONE of the BEST talent/reality shows out there.

Out of the millions, I hope a thousand or a hundred, whatever number, will have seen it and said hey I should check it out... Or thought, my husband would look good in those... Once they check it out, they will learn how to wear it, etc, etc.

The effect on the guys here in the forum is one of amusement, criticism, indeed ridicule. But because you ARE the choir; you need not be preached to. It is those that know nothing about it that need to be exposed to it and like I said, if they bite, they will soon find out the what's and how's of kilts and kilt-wearing.

To the producers of the show "So You Think You Can Dance" --- I say truly good on ya and thank you!

It's great advertisement for kilts on NATIONAL TV!

Here it is:

The quality is not so good. At about 45 and 55 seconds, Twitch turns around. On TV you could see that it was flat in the back and most certainly worn backwards. You can also see that poor Josh got stuck with a child's fly plaid, apparently.
Regards,

I was not saying that I have not watched the show, nor am I ashamed about enjoying the show - this year they had some fantastic young dancers - but I did not watch last night, (though I am watching at this moment), I WAS taping for a friend, because they lost power, and their TiVo could not record it!

SO THERE!!

I was watching The Miracle Worker with Anne Bancroft on TCM last night, tonight they are playing Camille with Greta Garbo, so thanks for posting the link Rex or I would have never seen that.

My wife is really into the show, and I like watching the amazing dancers. Josh had on some type of Royal Stewart bath towel thing, but on Twitch I saw two straps on the right side and one on the left, which would indicate a kilt, although I agree with Ehiker that it seemed like it had pleats all around.

I second that.

LOL. Trust me, if I am going to watch something, I'll admit to it. When my wife turns on those reality shows, I leave the room. I cannot stand them. For me it is off to play on the computer to maintain sanity.
