So You Think You Can Dance Australia Is Coming Back To TV
Carrie Bickmore will host, and Paula Abdul will be a judge. Oh boy...
So, good news for those of us who enjoy watching other people exert endless amounts of energy while we casually sit back on our tattered sofas with two plates of chicken biryani, a cheese naan, and three beers: So You Think You Can Dance Australia — the once popular reality contest that was unceremoniously dumped back in 2010 after its lacklustre third season — is returning to Network Ten in early 2014.
Over the weekend, the struggling network unveiled the revamped series’ new lineup, featuring The Project‘s Carrie Bickmore on hosting duties, and former American Idol nutcase and my pre-pubescent fantasy object Paula Abdul as a permanent series judge, alongside some not really famous but proper dance-y people like choreographers Jason Gilkinson, Shannon Holtzapffel, and Aaron Cash.

Also, where will she be living while in our country, and may I please party with her? IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
