Whoops! Sorry about missing poor Sasha. In my defense, I plead the "blur of sameness." :ohno I remember Ashley for the wrong reason: because of that risque routine with shirtless guy (Tadd?).Quote:

Good thing it's America's FAVORITE dancer and not most technically proficient/moving/etc.
I can relate...I am rapidly losing interest in a lot of what used to be my favorite reality shows simply because there is nothing new to intrigue me. You can only recycle the same ideas so many times before they become trite.
SYTYCD has been moving in the wrong direction for the past 2 seasons...and this may be my last season to watch, unless they let Alex Wong come back as an All-Star.
This is one of my all time faves. The choreo is so perfectly tuned to telling the story. And Kupono's facial expressions convey the darkness of addiction perfectly. This won an Emmy, by the way.Quote:

and the others were interviewed in groups and are also posted on that page.
Maybe we should start watching at the All-Star point?Quote:

So he changed it.
And now we are complaining about wanting the All-Stars back, lol, he just can't win!
I think we've (most of us) have gotten to the point where anything he and the show does will be wrong because they seem to take our complaints and react to them with a sledge hammer instead of finesse. Yes, we did say that the All-Stars gave an unfair advantage to some of the contestants. But so does leaving them in the same couple. Mix them up!
I think bringing the All-Stars in at a later date is a good move but he fixed that and completely broke something else. I don't know, if the ratings continue to tank? This may not even be an issue much longer.
I have always loved to watch dancing, but am not a dancer. I remember so being awed by this show when it first came on. Everything was all new and very creative. Now, it just all seems like the same thing over and over again. I'm being bored by it. Very sad, as it was one of my favorite summer pleasures along with BB. Also, none of the dancers really stand out this year, except maybe the couple (can't even bother to remember any of the dancer's names) who danced as statues a couple of weeks ago. Maybe it will get better when the All-stars come into the picture. Hope so.
I thought the same thing! I wasn't sure which if the other two girls was leaving but I was sure Miranda would be safe because of her solid routines and her amazing solo. I was so ticked to hear she was leaving. WTF????Quote:
