Suck It Up & Dance! vlog (Finale, Part 2): The big finish, with Cody Green!

Bravo's Step It Up & Dance has come to an end, and, as you watchers know, Broadway star Cody Green took home the $100,000 grand prize, a big hug from Elizabeth Berkeley and a punch in the chest from Nancy O'Meara. (He doesn't get quite so much love from runner-up Miguel in our new interview with him, but that's not terribly surprising.)

And for the final Suck It Up vlog, John and Colin invited the cutie champ himself - hey, it turned out he lived two blocks from our offices - to talk about his winnings, to look back on the show ... and to teach them a "victory dance." I'd say that with Cody throwing him over his shoulder like a sack of laundry, Colin's the big winner here!

Check it out after the break...

And so are the two of you. I would love to see more of dancers coming in and tossing you around.

I like Cody so much more after this interview--On the show I thought he was cute and a great dancer but didn't see much of his personality. He was so much fun here. And it's no surprise, him being a dancer, but he seemed to have no gay issues.

Poor Miguel. I know you liked him but there's no way he should have won. He should have taken a few ballet classes or something. Also, bitter, bitter, bitter. I just read your interview where he had NOTHING good to say about anyone but Janelle. Cody seemed to have nothing but good things to say about everybody.

Ding Ding Ding. Cody was able to "bring it" thoughout the entire show. He showed how much of an amazing and professional dancer that he is, while also being able to be civil, courteous, and respectful to the judges AND his fellow competitors, without having to become a 'reality show whore'. It's one thing to actively seek and 'play' for the cameras, like ME-guel did, but he should have also been able to "bring it" in regards to his OWN dancing abilities. There was a reason, why he was always grouped with Janelle and Michael, because they didn't have the same talent and abilities that Mochi, Nick, Cody, Oscar and even Tovah had in the competition.

You are exactly right. I hope if they do this show again they'll change the way they conducted it. Actually, some of the best dancers were the first to go because of all the "free style" stuff. They're supposed to be dancers but they were constantly made to choreograph.
