Asaf has got to go. What a dick. Of all the people they could have brought in at the last minute, why him?

So far the only dancer standing out for the good is Jaja. There are others I like but I haven't connected enough to match name/face.

Was kind of disappointed in the anniversary show tonight. I wanted to see more old routines (although I did see many favorites) I really wanted to see the Twitch door routine.

I am very saddened by the anniversary show! I was hoping for more dancing and instead it's all dance day and special Olympics and bad auditioners! Wtf.

Main takeaway: Comfort is a beast and could kick all the street girls asses.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same, same.

Because books.

I had never seen that routine with Comfort, and it was amazing. Also, Jasmine! That was happy. And Alex!

The whole thing just seemed like a giant commercial for Knock, Knock, when it could have been a real celebration, with all the former judges coming back and more performances.

I would have loved an hour with all of the past people (contestants and judges both) just sitting in a room watching old clips and talking about them.

All the Seacrestiana in the show pissed me right the hell off and I wanted more choreo and more dancers from more seasons (Hello, Season cast. Why do they hate you so much?) but I got to see Mark from Hawai'i and that will tide me over for a while. I could've done without all of the auditions footage, good and bad, and just seen more dancing. And I also didn't need to see the Top 18 do primarily crappy dance for your life solos to the SYTYCD theme song.

All that said, the opening group number was simply gorgeous and I cried real, ugly cry tears the first time I watched it. Those kids are all so beautiful. I love this crazy show.

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

OK, I am only now watching the Detroit auditions (I'm thinking I can fast forward through all the non-dancing parts and catch up pretty quick) but it strikes me as a little weird that a professional performing dancer is "Street"

I also love seeing how people who have now been professional dancers for years are better than ever, although it makes the current contestants look shabby. (I think this is often true of the "All-Star" pairings, too.)
