Seriously, a lot of those people we'd never seen before. Auditions focused WAY too much on the losers this year. Just to make the pompous judges look
better. Sorry, didn't work.

I think Comfort and Kerrington are the first 2 girls to go. That Kourtnie and Chelsea Hightower I think are my early favorites. I like Joshua, Marc, and Twitch
for the guys.

Susie FTW
I did think it was weird though that they cut 90% of the featured contestants. But on second thought, having a cast of unknowns isn't really that bad...it makes the season more interesting to watch when there isn't a destined "chosen one" (minus Twitch) who'll continue to stay on even after weeks of sucking only because of their backstory. |

Actually, I think it's worse that there's only one, it gives him that much more of an advantage.

I usually don't mind Nigel as much as everyone else in this thread. I always feel that his control over "Dance", although obviously
manipulative, has made it better and "classier" than Idol.
But, the BS that he and Mia pulled today was total crap. There just comes a time when someone can't face rejection by the same people over again...Especially to put all your heart and soul into something like dancing, and sacrifice a good amount of time and money...only to come back again and again and get rejected. Mia was just so INSULTED because Katie wasn't willing to feed her ego. I am excited about my three crushes... BUT, I think this group is going to struggle with partnering throughout the season. To me, this group just seems young and fresh, and it's going to be extremely challenging for them to succeed in any work that requires partnering from them. And those who are normally used to partnering are going to be done in with shitty partners. I just don't see them rising above it like our dear Pasha. HOWEVER, part of me wants to think that the reason we don't know a large number of the Top 20 is because Nigel wants to have some type of level playing ground? I mean, yeah...Twitch had A LOT of attention on him...and we knew Kherrington a bit...but I still think there is loads less pimping on this one than in "Idol." |

Last year we hadn't seen most of the contestants, and some of the greats (Sabra) we hadn't seen at all. |

I must say I'm LIVID at some of the cuts they've made. They cut Asuka without giving her so much as a dance clip (I know she did a jive solo, but
that's it). They cut Aliona and Leonidas (no hot Russian ballroom dancers this year). I really hope they all come back and make it next year. But then they
keep people like Kherington (I honestly do not get all the fuss about her), and a girl with the most half-assed and forced sob story ever, Chelsie (I like
Twitch, though, but he's one of the only featured people this year, along with Gev, Suzie, Chelsie, and Kherington). I love Chelsie's ballroom dancing,
though. Oh, and they cut Salsa girl, too. I do like that grandparents/Italian girl made it.
I feel that ballroom is highly underrepresented this year (which sucks because I prefer it over hip-hop or contemporary or anything). S2 we had Dmitri, Stanislav, Heidi, Benji, and Jaymz (too an extent), S3 had Anya, Pasha, Faina, and Anya, and now we have Swing guy, Chelsie, and Suzie (who I actually like and am very happy she managed to scrounge her way to the end, but we've never seen her do a partner dance). Am I missing anyone (if not, it means we went from 5 to 4 to 3)? My heart sank when I saw Aliona and Leonidas cut, and then Asuka leaving just made it worse, since I was certain she would made it after the other two left. And what the judges were saying about Katie just bugged the hell out of me. So she doesn't try out for your show, it doesn't mean she's quitting dance. Nigel's show is not the only dancing opportunity people have in the world, and it certainly is not the best. Remember Caitlin from last season (barely 18). She wasn't here this year, probably because she found better work. Doesn't make her a quitter. Can someone make a list of the top 20, and say where we've seen them throughout the competition, if at all (their style and everything is probably on the site). And who is Joshua? I honestly am drawing a blank... |

Susie's a ballroom dancer? Or are there two Susie's?

I missed her audition, since it was at the end, but I thought she said she was a Latin dancer...or is she just Latina and I made a mistake (which makes the
ballroom situation worse).

Who are Thayne and Matt, again?Both auditions were featured in the Utah episode. I guess jensa does make a good point, we did see a good number of the Top 20 auditions...Guess some are pissed that their favorites didn't make it. And also...good point...we didn't know SHIT about Sabra...or Neil...I don't remember much of Sarah or Jimmy or Cedric...from auditions. |

to me based on the females i think that blondes are goin to rock the competition. chelsea-because she is good, susie-because everyone likes her, kortni-because
she is good, and kherrington-because people like her and her personality. the other courtney and raven could squeeze in there i think and be contenders.

Joshua's def pulling a fast one on somebody. He's a trained dancer fronting as a hip hop dude. You know his big "reveal" will be
interesting.
Guy's got skillz, yo. FTW. |

susie-because everyone likes her Actually, I think a lot of people hate her (people here like her, but I am pretty sure the average viewer sees her as a trashy skank who should not have made it). I like her a lot, and hope she does well, but she needs to really dance her ass off next week. Katie has to do that too, since I'm pretty sure a lot of dumb ass viewers will buy Nigel and Mia's bullshit about her having a bad attitude (it worked with Danny last year). And here's to Kherington not doing well and leaving early. |

So I've been watching the new season and all I have to say is...shitty choices this year. I don't even recongize the majority of them. All hip hoppers
and contemporary. All the good ones were cut. I really wanted that Gene Kelly guy to make it - he was my early favorite. Thought he was a shoe in for the top
10. He seemed to be quite popular in most SYTYCD communities. Also there was that HSM chick who was pretty good, and my Beantown popper didn't make it
either. Also, where are the hot male Russian ballroom dancers goddamnit?? I need my eye candy. Seriously - they are all fug this year.
So disappointed. I was afraid this show would turn out to be just like AI, where they focus on the "personalities" and the "looks" rather than originality and talent. BAH! Shitty season. |
