I've been catching up on world of Dance and I'm impressed . I still like SYTYCD but World of Dance keeps people in their style so that's good to see.

Because books.

I am LOVING So You Think You Can Dance this year. I mean, I love it every year (even last year, with the kids!), but I really love watching the all-stars watch the dancers, and pick their teams, and all of it. I am all ♥ eyes for all of them.

World of Dance has been surprisingly good, too. Some of the teams are just fantastic, and I do have an absurd girl crush on JLo, even now.

I am not loving SYTYCD this year. I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that I find both Robert and Allison really annoying, and they are getting a lot of screen time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And who is it who is constantly "woo!"ing at the dancers? Enough of that, thanks.

You guys are tough customers!

Yes, Jesse, also agree with that. Although I feel like they are encouraged to do that by the producers.

Also, more time on the dancers, less on the judge reactions. We will hear what the judges think.

Im still a bit behind on World of Dance. It's amazing watching the dancers. Especially the kids.

I was crying over the 11 yr old and 14 yr old dancers routines. I forgot their names. Misty Copeland was the first judge. Kind if easy judge but good feedback. And balanced out by Ne-Yo being the hard judge.

I wasn't sure about Jr dancing against adults but the 14 yr old will hold her own.

Ne-Yo is tough! Misty Copeland does seem to love everything, but she's so amazing I don't care that much.

All I know is JLo's black dress with the hugely ruffled sleeves was something only she could wear and actually not look ridiculous.

So sad about this week's elimination on The Great British Baking Show.
