The second contestant was my fav part too, not because of the lady, but because of the delicious irony of a crowd of aerobics fans that starts clapping along with the song, then slowly gives up when they realize the tempo is so fast. Too much effort!
I guess it is still a thing, but how did it not catch on more than it did? The 80s and 90s come up in searches before more recent stuff like this from 2013.
I am about to watch this but I don't even gotta before I know what it deserves. What better way to ring in 2014 but to remind ourselves of the majesty of 1987?
