I suddenly feel like we need TyTy up in here saying "H2T!!"

And I agree I would watch so much more than they show us. Like, I would watch every hour of Vegas week real time and love it. This has been one of my criticisms of "breaking pointe", that there's tons of semi-manufactured personal drama but I'd rather see the dancing and dance drama! (Though the lady ep did show more of that in some of the rehearsals)

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Yes, I think they have 3 hours one day to actually learn the choreo (and that's when we see the choreographers usually with their assistants), then 1 hour the next day to run through it and practice. I also think they have one day to block the dances (both the partner dances and the group dance) on the SYTYCD stage (although I don't think the choreographer is there for that - probably just the director or AD).

I would love to see more of Vegas week - and by that I mean more action not more drama or back story.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

omg, they could totally sell they 24 hour live streaming vegs ala old school BigBrother. man I had that up on my screen all day using the hack codes from the pancaquistas and another group.

And yes to watching the work with the choreos. They should have them as behind the scenes videos up on CBS.com or via their FB page or somewhere driving social media mentions/links for the show.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of, I saw ads for Big Brother last night! My summer TV drought is almost over.

D'oh! I was just wondering about that.

I think I am in this year too. I am really missing TV all of a sudden.

It's July 17 or something.

This is what happens when I spend time at my parents' -- watching CBS with all commercials included.

Masterchef: Did they ever leave the studio last season?

Yes, for some of the team challenges. There was a burger thing, wasn't there?

Nevermind, I just realized I missed a whole season.

Carry on...
