Oh, and because it can't be said enough, more Debbie Allen please! I'd love to see her as a full time judge. Or even on a show of her own! She is pure love! I loved when she told one of the top 20 to get back stage and call her mama! LOVE!
I think what I'm most excited about this season is how little I know about most of the dancers. It's almost a level playing field for me (except for stupid Woo guy.)
I love Miss Debbie Allen and I hope she serves as a guest judge at least a couple of times this season, but I'm actually kind of glad she's not on the permanent judges panel. I remember how much I used to adore Shankdaddy. Back in S3? I loved Shankdaddy, and that was even after he contributed to the whole "Danny is arrogant" controversy, which I still haven't totally forgiven him for, but I loved him! Then he was put onto the permanent panel and I grew to dislike him. Immensely. He was best in small doses and really? How could I miss him when he wouldn't go away? So for fear of something similar happening, I don't want to see Miss Debbie Allen every week. Because if I had to stop liking her or talking about her bad critiques like she was Tasty or something, my whole world would shatter.
I would, however, love to watch her in her own show. Something like Miss Debbie Allen's Home for Wayward Dancers where she takes the also ran cast offs from the Vegas rounds like Cat Daddy DC and works with them to smooth out the rough edges and polish some of those diamonds in the rough. She could mold them into a troupe that by the end of the season would put on an end of season dance-stravaganza with lots of special guest stars. Yep, I would watch that show every day and twice on Sundays.
Shankman really sank to the bottom didn't he? I loved him too except as a full-time judge.
The wee broadway dude bugs me.
oh, no joke. Is it his attitude?

It was so sad. I couldn't even really enjoy him in the Vegas rounds like I wanted to because I still have the bad memories of him fawning all over Kent.
I just feel like Broadway Jess is trying way too hard all the time. He has an air of desperation that I just don't like, especially not in one so young. I don't get the arrogant thing off of him as much as I get the clueless about how off putting some of his behavior is thing.
I agree with the waves of desperation coming off Jess.
I was interested in seeing the lineup of the top ten boys that one of them is actually shorter than Jess!
Peanut, or somebody telling Peanut what to do, sure loves him some Ryan. Is the pimping usually that blatant?
Isn't she the one that worked with Mia? I think they gave her a lot of play last year because of that. She's a good dancer, but something about her bugs the sh*t out of me. I didn't like her last year and this year is not looking any better.
Is anyone else watching Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss, or whatever it's called? Year of Weight Loss? Creepy Trainer Man moves into your house for three months and SCARES the weight off you? Something like that.
With Fox's delay on showing SYTYCD online I'm finally watching the top 20 show.
I've skimmed the comments and I can't believe there's only one ballroom dancer. But I loved loved loved Iveta and Pasha's dance.
The Voice: Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy? Does Cee Lo hate these girls as much as I do?

Hopefully America does too.
