Oh man, Storage Wars is the worst. I mean, the worst in that I'll fall into a marathon and be unable to move for hours. I love Brandi.
And fans may want to keep an eye out for Market Warriors, coming this summer to PBS... Fred Willard is the narrator! [link]

Seriously. I kind of lost last night to it on Neetflix.
"This year we're doing an entirely new thing that we should have done years ago," Lythgoe said enthusiastically. "We're going to have a male winner and a female winner. With changing it around, to making it just one show, we sort of realized, 'Hey, why don't we do this?' We wanted to do it, now we have the opportunity to do so."
As Lythgoe told TVLine.com, “Girls dance totally differently than guys."
Changes coming to SYTYCD.
Hmm. I guess I'm ok with that. Maybe. I'd feel weird if I liked two guys best and a girl had to win, but given how many guys have won, maybe America is just biased, so...
Hasn't it been even in terms of winners? Working back, Melanie of the amazing poise, Lauren Fro. the cheerleader, Russell the krumper, Jeanine and her tango rose, my beloved Joshua, Sabra the disappeared, Benji, and that dude who eon the first season I never saw. So, 4 and 4, and 3 of the last 4 were women.
Yeah, SYTYCD has actually been better than most reality shows with the girl winners. I don't like the idea of having a girl winner and a boy winner. The show doesn't need it.
Despite all my bitching, I think America has gotten it shockingly right with the winners on SYTYCD. The only season I really vehemently disagree with is the season that Sabra beat out Danny because . . . freaking Danny Tidwell! And even then, it's not like Sabra wasn't a good little dancer. Danny was just unreal.
Sigh. I wonder why they are really doing this given that they've had a pretty good gender balance on the show in terms of winners. Maybe Nigel is pissed that the last, what, three winners in a row have been girls?
Yeah, I'm bristling at the format change, but I suspect I'd bristle regardless. So I guess we'll just see how it shakes down. I just hope they've gotten the safety stuff sorted out this season. I still haven't forgiven them for breaking Alex Wong. Who I gather is doing just fine, but still.
Nigel is an ass just on GP anyway.
