Yeah, it just wasn't on last week.
SYTYCD is renewed, but doing a "stage vs. street" thing with 10 of each in the top 20. I wonder if that means not necessarily 10 boys and 10 girls? [link]
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Oh dear. That sounds...painful.

I don't like the sound of that.
Although, to be honest, I didn't like the sound of SYTYCD when it started. I still kinda hate the title.

Misty Copeland is going to have a show on Oxygen! Where she like, mentors dancers or something? Unclear, but you know I'll watch.

I think the SYTYCD format changes sound beyond stupid, but I will watch SYTYCD in any format until it leaves the air. I'm still hanging on with Idol and it stopped being a good show years ago. But yeah, not excited for the stage vs. street dancers thing. First of all, the show is already that due to Nigel's obsession with untrained dancers and sending them on a "journey" somewhere. For another thing, Nigel's whole outlook on hip hop choreography is so problematic, I just cannot even fathom how bad it's going to get when half the top 20 is comprised of street dancers. For another other thing, I fear that this means that ballroom is going to be getting even shorter shrift on this show than it's already getting now and that makes me sad because I love ballroom. I guess my only hope for something good coming out of the new format is that they might need to bring in a fresh crop of hip hop choreographers, which has been sorely needed for quite some time now.

I'm also wondering if this means the death of the All Stars format. I won't mourn it if it goes, even though I have really enjoyed seeing Mark and Katherine and Allison and Alex Frikkin' Wong on my TV screen again.

Now, Misty Copeland I could watch. Doing pretty much anything, probably. Thanks for the heads up, meara!

So I just went googling Jaja on the assumption that she'd come back to SYTYCD, and now I wonder if maybe status issues were at least some of why she wasn't on the show last year: [link]

Also, if you sort the gifts by amount, you will see that tWitch continues to be the best.

Oh, that does make sense.
Alyssa is looking less oh-honey-no this week, think. I continue to not love the challenges. I actually like most of the dresses, but the challenge itself is, I don't know, too specific.
