I have been watching (and loving it) but not this week. It's the Japanese vs. the American thing. The Japanese version, if you didn't complete the course, you didn't move on. If nobody completed, then the season ended. The American version, of course you have to have your controllable number of entrants for the next level. So yeah, I agree, unfair.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah. I'm trying not to dislike the changes just for, you know, changing, but that one I legitimately don't approve of.

So I saw a slide show of the SYTYCD contestants. The one listed as a belly dancer - I'm assuming she has other training but auditioned as a belly dancer?

Yeah, she's done your basic all-around training, but she is Palestinian-American (from rural AL - that must have been interesting) and considers herself a bellydancer first. She's got GREAT performance value.

Okay. Well turns out I won't be watching SYTYCD through hulu or Fox.com.
I don't use a "participating cable provider" (Verizon or Dish) so I have to wait 30 days after the episode airs to watch it.
Which is stupid. I can watch Master Chef the DAY AFTER it airs, on a streaming device as well! but not SYTYCD.
Who wants to wait a month to watch it? I don't and I think it's a stupid decision by Fox.
I tried last season to catch up on youtube clips but the music was generally taken out before I could watch. ANd I tried the live streaming thing but the quality was so bad it was like watching a slide show.

On Liese's recommendation, so far I am finding long clips (not just dances, but the runup also) up at mjsbigblog at 8am the day after the show airs.
I really miss watch and post, though.

I'll have to bookmark that.

Wait, why can't you guys watch it over the air? Also, participating cable provider is BS--I pay for cable but I only have a choice of my ghetto off brand red-lined cable. It's sad when you'd rather have Comcast, man.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
mjsbigblog sometimes has the clips up pretty much immediately after it airs, and the text during. I just keep refreshing the page.
I can't watch OTA because I am in my inlaws house, and innocent as much of the show is, there would be raised eyebrows and the sexually charged stuff, especially like the (excellent) bellydancer.

I can't watch anything over the air here. Actually that's not true. I can get a PBS station and an extremely fuzzy station in French.
It was different in Tallahassee, I could get the broadcast channels. But not here.
