May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

There's an episode of Top Model on that I haven't seen, and they put the models on treadmill catwalks. It was pretty hilarious.

I read that as "Top Gear" and tried like hell to figure out whether the cars or the presenters were on treadmills.

bad news SYTYCD fans.

Fox has canceled the results show. I don't know what this means in the long run, but this season will have a format change.

Ugh. I guess that means we will mess some of the good guest dancing too. :-(

Yeah, I saw a tweet about that, and was very disappointed--often the group dances during results shows were some of my favorite dances!! Though I will not miss random performances by groups I've never heard of (ETA: not the guest dancers, which I usually liked, but the random pop stars)

The results shows were *really* padded, and the "dances for your life" a mix between brilliant (many of the hip-hop dancers) and pathetic (most of the female contemporary dancers). The Sing-Off managed to do a really good job without a results show...

Thrive to spite them

They need to get rid of the AMerican Idol results show too. That's a real waste of an hour.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's a real waste of an hour.

Not for the advertisers, unfortunately.

I rarely watch any results shows. SYTYCD more than others perhaps as long as I could fast forward and check if the guest dancers were at all interesting. Of course, I fast forward through much of the shows themselves too.

Me too. I don't care about the backstory or what the dancers' favorite movie is, or whatever.
