Haven't watched the last couple episodes of SYTYCD, but was in town so got to watch last nights auditions with Bon Bon and Bob Bob! We mostly were not impressed and got distracted pulling up clips of numbers we liked better from earlier seasons.

Oh god.

I have been watching SYTYCD and very much not caring at all. I just can't get amped about this Street vs. Stage nonsense, even though I have enjoyed some of the kids thus far. I just...that's not what I watch this show for. I see lots of hip hop/b-boy kids who got knocked out of Vegas when they couldn't pick up choreo in other styles are back now for this season and I guess that's cute, but I hate that they are coming back because they know they won't be asked to really challenge themselves, stretch and grow as dancers in other styles. Because it can be done. Because we've seen it done before. And you always come out the other side a better dancer. Just, eh. This new show is not my show.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well, hell, I was feeling kinda bad that I haven't been in the mood to watch SYTYCD this season but if it doesn't have the part I love best (dancers rising to new styles and techniques) maybe I won't bother.

I decided to not even watch this season. And I guess now I'm even more happy with that decision.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I will watch until I can't anymore. I will report on how good or bad it is.

My only opinion so far is that if Jaja doesn't make it on to the show, I'm going to cut someone.

My understanding is that as soon as they get to Top 20, it's the usual mix of styles for everyone.

But it looked like Vegas week only involved hip hop choreography for the street dancers and only "stage" stuff for those dancers?!? That would be awful (though I'm sure some street dancers can't do ANY choreography, so...)
