I dont know how I feel about Benji winning. I really wanted Travis to win. Benji is a great dancer but Travis just had something that just made you want more when he danced.
On a different note I was totally choked up when I saw Benji's father in the audience weeping when he won. It was really touching.

I don't know, I was sad. Travis went above and beyond yesterday. He is just so raw and talented and has NO ego about him whatsoever. I get a ego every once and again from Benji and it just turns me off. It's like he's never just feeling the passion and emotion of his dancing, he's "acting" and being a character. Travis is just so good and believable and beautiful to watch. Did you notice he was in more dances then ANYONE else yesterday?? I think that Benji got the teeny-bopper votes all the way and it wasn't about true talent (even though he is very talented, Travis is just better hands down). I can't wait to see them all in person at the tour!!

Yay!!! I am so happy for him! He blew me away with how talented he was. He's such a natural performer and I know I don't *know* him, but I really think he's a truly nice person.
Of course Travis is also amazing, and had he won, I wouldn't have begrudged him the victory.
What totally got me was Donyelle's speech right after she found out she had been eliminated. When she said she'd quit dancing and prayed to God for guidance when auditioning for SYTYCD and how he'd answered her prayers and that there was no way she could stop now, I totally started crying. I am *such* a sap.
No, I am not. I really, really wanted Travis to win. In my opinion, if America hadn't decided and the judges had, it would have been Travis (and Allison would have been second) b/c they are just the two best dancers. Travis just goes deeper as a dancer to the raw emotion of it and you can tell that he feels it in his soul and that's just beautiful.
But, I'm sure Mia Michaels is ready to hire him anyway. He's got a great career ahead of him (as does Allison).
And I agree with whoever said that Donyelle's speech was really touching.
