THE best reality contest....SYTYCD!!!!

[Ginger]

So You Think You Can Dance starts tonight....any fans of the show here?

It's defs our fave. Perhaps because we have resident dancer in the house who longs for her moment to audition (two more years! ) But dancing always pulls at my heartstrings. I don't like Dancing With The Stars, I don't care to watch celebrity ballroom. It gets too repetitive for me. But SYTYCD injects so much artistry into the dancing, it is often enthralling and heartwrenching.

From the previews it looks like there are some outstanding auditions. Can't wait until tonight!!

Now if only they could get rid of that annoying Mary. I have to mute the tv often when she is talking, especially when she laughs!

One thing I really like about this show is that there are no wishy-washy judges. They are all very honest and to-the-point.

Love this show and thanks for the reminder Ginger,,,,,I to can't stand Mary's laugh she is most annoying.

I can't wait, love this show, and when I saw Kelsey's dance pictures I thought she would be perfect for auditioning. Hope the show is still around in 2 years.

Wow! I watched it last nite for the first time this season.....some amazing stuff there! I could never choose at this point who to vote for.......I do luv this show!

[PlayaLove]

I think it is going to be hard to pick the bottom 3 after tonight. I can think of only 1 or maybe 2 I thought were not as good as the others.

Who went home? I was busy with graduation festivities.

Tom & Paris, I think that's their names, they weren't very good on the first night, not memorable at all. I think they pretty much got the bottom 3 right. I too love, love this show. Some amazing dancing the first night too.

I liked Tony's personality but he didn't have enough experience as a dancer to make it to the end.

Bottom 3 tonight.... 1 or both of the hip hop routines, and I think the first couple that danced Jive, and possibly the tango.

I saw it for the first time last night

The dancing is great, but too much filler and the judges go on and on
Oh...and the woman judge, Mary?! Reason enough for me to avoid that show forever.

Mary's not THAT bad and she's a total expert on ballroom. Still, I do wish she'd had the botox on her vocal cords instead of her face!

The show just gets better and better as the season goes on. It is my all time favourite reality show: I fall in love with the dancers as we get to know them better, and almost can't stand it when one of my favs goes home.

Rick, give it another chance. It's a great show even with little annoyances - I'd hate to see you miss what's great about it.

I agree. While we are biased towards this show given our family dancer and our involvement in the dance world, it definitely is worth putting up with Mary Murphy. I agree, she is awful....her screaming, her laughing, everything. VERY gimmicky and annoying, and I wish the producers would make her stop. We have learned just to mute the TV when she has her turn.

I wouldn't say there's any more "filler" than on other shows, like Idol for example. judges do their thing, dancers do their thing, and I like the clips of them learning their dance.

I love Vitolio....what a great person and example for others. No self-pity, just a genuinely nice guy who had a harder life than many of us could ever know.

[Babaloo]

Sorry...can't do it.
I was so turned off by her - fingernails on the chalkboard bad
And I disagree....the time with the judges seems to go on and on and on and......
But hey, you guys enjoy!

If you timed it, I bet its the exact same as Idol.

Man, Babs...you let people turn you off that bad on first meeting/first impressions? you're a tough guy to crack through!

Well...it's like this
I don't watch much TV and I need to be selective
I'm in the states now, so I'm getting my TV fix - Discovery Channel and Food Network! Yay!

[Ginger]

Well, I have to agree with Babaloo this season...the judges are droning on and on and on. The last two weeks I've decided not to watch it and instead wait and download it the next day so I can skip through the judges comments and just see the dancing, and sometimes listen to the basics of whether or not the judges liked it.

And Mary is just getting worse and worse. She is ruining the show, if you ask me. I'm surprised they haven't learned that it focus groups and told her to tone it down somewhat.

So sad to see Vitolio go home!!!! waaahhhh.

[Mofi]

Who else went home? They called that...they said Vitolio would be the next to go.

[jmac]

Karla went too, I kinda figured she would, she never stuck out. I honestly thought Phillip would've gone home, his dancing isn't on par with any of the other guys, other than his own genre, in which he is unfreakingbelievable!!! I guess they thought Vittolio was in the bottom 3 so much that they needed to let him go as well as keeping Phillip keeps the poppers alive. Not fair in that but it's still good dancing. I do feel for Phillip's partner though, it hasn't helped her any. I agree Mary is starting to overdo the screeching just a tad. She is a great judge though.

a tad?
I would watch the show if it weren't for her
...well...maybe I would
