Â They have the audition form on their website as well. Â Though itâs possible theyâre just doing it preemptively, but I canât imagine Fox not renewing the show.

*Amanda Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Just got home from work, so I missed the finale but glad to come in the thread and see that Alexis won.   SLAY at her breaking the curse of female Ballroom dancers.  4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got 2 out of 17 lol   Ok so first of all, history was made with the first female Ballroom US winner! It was long overdue and I am happy for Alexis to be that person.  She is definitely very deserving, and sheâs killed it on the finale in every routine.  One thing that didnât sit well with me though is that the audience members could have literally seen them for the first time on the finale so I felt like the decision was made based on that performance show only instead of their whole journeys, and I am wondering how it would have worked out had the people at home voted.  Donât get me wrong, Alexis has been fantastic all season, and she had better performances than Keaton on the finale (he looked really exhausted and I donât blame him) but comparing their both runs, I thought Keaton had a slightly better and more challenging journey.  But I am happy with the result anyway, this was an amazing top two and they both gave it their all. I will need to re-watch the routines to comment in more detail but on the first watch, Alexis and Jasonâs Contemporary was the standout of the night for me.

Alexis had the stronger finale might but Keaton had the stronger body of work. Both were deserving winners depending on your criteria, but I think the voting format benefited Alexis. Given how terribly ballroom dancers usually do on Americaâs votes, I wouldnât be surprised if she had been in the bottom more often than not.  Based off when the finale was taped, only up to the Top 10 show had been aired. (The finale was taped a couple of hours before the Top 8 show wouldâve aired.) That was the week Alexis first landed in the bottom, so I wonder if that also contributed to it since the finale was heavy in the âfirst ballroom woman to winâ storyline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Just realized Alexis knew she was the first ballroom woman to win for a month and never spilled. Give her an award! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, while the format might have worked on a week by week basis with studio members deciding the bottom 4 dancers, I think the vote for the winner should have been based on their entire journey, and some people probably saw Alexis and Keaton dance for the first time on the finale. Not to mention that they still used the title âAmericaâs favorite dancerâ which, from what I saw on social media, is rubbing a lot of people the wrong way as they were unable to vote. But it is what it is, letâs celebrate this moment for Alexis and I am really happy about her being the first female Ballroom dancer to win, even if it meant Keaton loosing. Both have bright careers ahead of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
