I dont know if anyone watched the first episodes of The great American Baking Show but if yoi did those will be tbe only ones.
ABC Fired Johnny Izzuni because if sexual harassment of women but not anyone on tbe show. They are severing all ties including pulling the show.
I feel bad for tbe contestants but Im glad they took swift action
I was wondering about that! Because the stuff had come out before the first ones aired.
I think it's a little messier than someone stepping down from office, or being fired -- other people were involved with that show, and it doesn't seem fair to them.
I'm also just annoyed because I was looking forward to the rest of it, I guess.
The final season of Face Off started last night.
They started a new season of So You Think You Can Dance on Monday. They don't seem to be doing anything gimmicky, but I missed the first part of it.
And I'm watching Meet the Lords on PBS - it's a behind the scenes look at the House of Lords ... it has its moments.
I am not loving the new gimmick on MasterChef. Hopefully once the season gets going the judge's team thing will calm down a little.
World of Dance is on as well. There are some amazing dancers this year and a few have come back . One couple almost got a perfect score for the qualifying round. They also changed the groupings so now there are upper and junior teams. I can't remember the exact divisions lasy year but they had so many good juniors they accomdated for it.
World of Dance is so shiny, but not necessarily in the good way. It's 100% Glitz! and Lights! and Excitement!, which seems so horribly American. That said, it's a little more satisfying than SYTYCD because you get some results right away. But SYTYCD will always have my heart.
MasterChef is always sort of annoying to me, and I stopped watching after Bastianich left. So I'm watching again! He's so pompous and egotistical, but I inexplicably love him.
I saw SYTYCD started but I haven't watched! I'm not a huge fan of the audition shows, until they get to Vegas.
I like World of Dance becsus because you get to see what the dancers do best and there is no fear they'll end up going home because they aren't great at ballroom or something.
Last night there was a ballroom couple who barely made it through on their routine. It wasn't flashy and no tricks just amazing dancing. Derek Hough and JLo scored them ok but Ne-Yo didn't score them well. The others thought he was crazy .
There were also a pair of krumpers who had this incredible routine and to prepare for this they had taken choreography classes to get the timing and flow right and it was so good.
And there was a dance troupe from Japan that blew me away.
I got kind of frustrated with SYTYCD putting people with bad dancers and then saving the bad dancers or doing gimmicky dances that really can't be done well and sending people home. I didn't really watch last year thougj and I know it changed.
