He might not have won the entire competition, but Legacy certainly was the sentimental favorite of SYTYCD‘s season 6. How could you not like the b-boy? He was less technically advanced than the other contestants, yet brought us some of the seasons most memorable performances. (The caveman hip-hop, Travis’ Mr. and Mrs. Smith contemporary routine, etc.) And though we were surprised — and sad — to see him go, the b-boy opted to take a zen approach to his ouster. Shortly after being eliminated, Legacy called up EW to talk about why he wasn’t sad to be eliminated, why he missed Mia Michaels and that rumored romance with partner Kathryn.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You feeling okay today?
LEGACY PEREZ: I’m feeling good, feeling great, feeling fresh. How are you?
Good, thanks! But tell me: What went wrong last night? Everyone I know figured you were a lock for the top 6.
I don’t know who everyone you talk to is who thought I was in the top 6. I don’t think anything went wrong. I think everything happens the way it does for a reason, and I was even surprised to still be in the competition at this point.
Really?
Yeah, of course. Coming into this competition, I never knew what my capacity of performing or learning the pieces were. So just the fact that I’m here in the top eight—I just felt like it was a blessing. I didn’t think anything was wrong. I think something shifted in the votes because of certain reasons, but I think it was cool and fair and it was a nice gesture that the husband and wife are getting to dance together in the top six.

It’s not that Chumby does stuff other devices can’t do — I can check the weather on my computer or phone, duh. It’s more that Chumby’s always on, a push rather than pull information stream. Its controls are totally intuitive (think Tivo-style clarity), and once I started using it I thought of a million things I “needed” it for.
As the Blind Side crosses the $130 million mark (and counting), studio executives throughout Hollywood are ordering their assistants to send their congratulations to Bullock’s doorstep — often in bubbly, liquid form. “No one really drinks in our house, so we don’t really do anything with that,” the actress says, pulling her long hair into a loose pony tail. “But we get a lot of champagne!” The Blind Side comes just five months after Bullock made her long-anticipated return to her romantic comedy roots in The Proposal, which surpassed everyone’s expectations by going on to rake in $314 million worldwide. The 45-year-old is enjoying the best year of her acting career, which may bode well for everyone who wants to see more well-told stories about grown women up on the big screen. “Sexism is everywhere. Ageism is everywhere. But you know know what? It’s about making money. Look at what Sarah Jessica Parker did with Sex and the City. Look at what Meryl Streep is doing” — she pauses to laugh — “every other week! The proof is in the pudding. I didn’t have the ‘Oh my God, I’m not working because I’m 40.’ I was working when I was 40. I’ve never had this many opportunities in my lifetime.”
