Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Howdy? como estan?

well guys im beat, tried messages a lot today.

things were great today…i got to see my folks for the first time since I won. That was great. I got to drive me old car for the first time in 3 months. I just watched the Fantasia story…I can relate the feelings she went through. Great story! WEll Im off…I have some cool ventures im working on. Look out for tranji merchandise and possibly some Benjelle action as well for the wonderful fans. Heidi and I are on board for making instructional dvds the week after the tour ends….so sit tight! Love ya’ll

benji

Brush your teeth!

I so want those DVDs 

Each week it seemed like the Benji fanclub grew and grew to the point where they were chanting your name–how important was the fan reaction and how did it affect your performance?

Benji: What was awesome about the fans that night was there’s a big group of people. It got to a point where they respected the top four so much that everybody was cheering for everybody but when they announced my name, I saw family members of every contestant stand up. They all knew what we had been through. And the fans of Benji, the Shwingers, as they called them[selves], were so cool–they supported me from the beginning. Their fingers were bleeding from voting so many times. It was awesome.

You were hospitalized in the week prior to the Final Four Competition but it was never addressed on the show. Were there moments when you feared this would affect your chances of moving on?

Benji: There was always an injury. It was almost every week where I collected a new one or even two. And it was almost like I was being prevented from doing more and more maneuvers. But I guess it’s part of the process and part of the show– is to use all that you possibly can and I know that whether I’d won it or not, I’d know I would’ve been able to finish the show and say, I’d done everything I possibly can to win this thing.

What can you tell us about your role in Celine Dion’s Vegas Extravaganza "A New Day"?

Benji: Basically I’d be a dancer, I’d probably have a special number with Celine; and we’re possibly going to do a duet between Celine and I. I can’t wait–it’s going to so cool.

Which scares you more? Mary Murphy’s scream or Dmitry’s chest?

Benji: Gosh, you know it’s funny–both of those things are legends in themselves. I think the scariest thing is when Nigel and Cat pretend I’m about to kicked off the show and I don’t. I think I’ve had about two or three ulcers.

Well i am completely beside myself in the response that Ive gotten since the show ended. I cannot believe that many people would be so into the show and have support me so much. I love you all! I know many people want to write emails and such so Ive devised a way to help all of you out so thta there isnt such a flood of little messages coming in. Many people have questions about many things (tour, tickets, my telephone number(hehe), other contestant info, as well as little chatty questions….and most importantly, D.E.M.A.N.D.)…so to help answer those questions;

1. Tickets – The tour has given each top ten dancer 6 tickets to give out. Mine were given to family. That’s all i was allowed to recieve for the whole tour so with that said, I don’t have much pull on getting anyone tickets. Im am so sorry and encourage people to write the tour company(look on www.fox.com/dance for details) and petition more dates after the tour ends…maybe even a second tour. Im sorry but there aren’t any backstage passes.

2. My personal phone info/adress/email/aim stuff – I would love to give all that out but with the overwhelming response Ive recieved, Im keeping most of my comminucation via this myspace. You guys are amazing and Im trying my hardest to thank you all as personally as can be. Please be patient if there is no reply immediatly. It’s gonna take a long time!!! I have 1,000’s of emails to respond to…..and for the sake of fairness, i wont be able to message back and forth little questions for the time being….so a full email is appreciated. Questions regarding the tour and everything else will be answered right now.

3. Info on other contestants from season 2 – I love my top 20 buds!!! Most of them have myspaces as well…I can’t provide a link to them for the time being, but looking on fox.com may help in knowing more about them. Love you guys!!!

4. D.E.M.A.N.D. – WOW!!! Such a great response!!! Please read my other blog regarding demand…so much response for it…I love ya’ll and you’ll be asked to help out soon…just a few more preparations coming….so no need to email me about it…i will post a big bulletine when volunteers are needed as well as donations. Muchas Gracias!!!

– On a side note, I just wanted to thank everyone again for their support and continued support from here on. I wanted everyone to know that Hollywood hasn’t gone to my head nor has it gone to any of the top 20 dancers. We love and appreciate all of you and its my desire that you all be patient. Things are insane right now…I just got home for the first time in 3 months…and i slept in my own bed (first sleep ive gotten in 3 days since they announced the winner)…so its been cool but very tiring! If you’d like to make a comment about the show or about lil’ ol’ me, please make them in the comment section of my myspace, i really do read those you know, hehe. Emails to me would be best if they were regarding anything else i did not explain in this blog.
YOU GUYS ROCK!!! KEEP IN TOUCH!!! DANCE!!! DON’T BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!-ERR WAIT I MEAN BRUSH YOUR TEETH!!!

He so enjoys winning, that is so sweet! 

And as for his cousin Heidi Groskreutz, who was also part of this season’s Top 4, Schwimmer says she’s couldn’t be happier for him"It really didn’t matter if she had won or I had won, it’s pretty much the same thing. We’ve been dancing together for 17 years and I wouldn’t be anything without her," he says, adding all the rumours he’s having an affair with Groskreutz, Wall and finalist Donyelle Jones are ridiculous."Donyelle has a boyfriend right now — she’s a great person and very faithful — Travis … we are just really good friends. And Heidi is my cousin. I’m not from the Bayou so it’s fine — there’s no issue there either."

Jam! Showbiz 

I know many of you were wondering if Benji Schwimmer and Donyelle Jones were dating, now we know that the So You Think You Can Dance 2 dancers are not? Sorry.
