I guess that tall guy in the jacket is the comic relief. I thought he was atrocious.

I liked the fact that Nigel was purposefully trying NOT to be "mean" this year...that second performer, the young woman, he was struggling to find some positive guidance to give her. I guess he has no desire to be the dancer's "Simon Cowell".

I love SYTYCD, but honestly they replay the same thing too much during one show, and it seems they take more commercial breaks than normal.

I'm so happy this show is back. Mary is my favorite judge of any show on TV. Love her.

That one big break dancer doing the "swing" with the other little guy was hysterical. Worth watching the whole show just to see that bit.

I didn't like that Mary said the ballroom dancing couple was the best the show had ever seen! Hello? Benji? Benji's cousin? The opener was a little boring but I enjoyed most.

I was really annoyed in the beginning when they gave Dancing Derrik so much air time. Way too much. To be fair, I was just anxious to jump into the competition. After watching last season, these newcomers have big shoes to fill. As much as I like the audition process, I can't wait to get to see the finalists. I know there were a ton of amazing dancers we did not see yet and I guess we will get to see later in more airtime. Patience right? they will most likely only feature all the "bad" now. I could not believe SEX! wow! to hear him speak though, I now think he might have some form of a neurological disorder because of the way he was dragging his words when he said " you are mean Simon". I do not understand his mother. I mean, geez, get a clue!I know a mother's love is blind but this was way too much. Last season I could not stand Mary but actually grew to appreciate the cackle laugh. She did make me upset when she called that first ballroom couple the "best we've ever had on this show" huh? no way...she might be drinking some of Paula Abdul's drink! The big break dancer really surprised me. Again, I thought they were wasting their time but he does have rhythmn. You cannot teach rhythmn! You either have it or you don't! It's the big struggle that I always have with this show; they pick up non dancers and then drill them because they have no technique. That's not fair either. I guess we shall see how it pans out BUT this guy is no Musa I know that. I can't wait for the next show already!

that breaker has tons of personality and I agree with Nigel when he said 'you sir, are a star' I also was shocked Mary said they were best ballroom dancers ever...please..they didnt even come close to the charisma Benji has

I got the impression that Sex and his mother are "slow". Nicest way I know how to put it.

How about the girl from Israel? She had the dance floor with 350 people on it just collapse and drop 3 stories right in front of her and then she gets sucked in? I can't believe they had video of it or that she survived that fall! She wasn't the greatest dancer but with more training she has some potential.

Sex's mom is just a hippie. She brainwashed her son into the PC thought process that anyone can do anything if they try. (Nice of a thought as it is... its just not true). He gave me a giggle though when he said he has hundreds of girlfriends... they left out the 2nd half of that comment though- "on the internet!" lol I liked the break guy that came back and did swing. His breaking, in my opinion, was lousy. But his personality shined in the swing routine and showed he does have some natural ability. He'll be cut once in Vegas, unless he keeps the personality up - then they'll ride him like seabiscuit and push him into top 20. Nigel's eyes completely lit up, but it'll fade out soon enough. Showing all the against-the-odds stories is nice, but if they keep it up, they are way overdoing it. I'm somewhat disturbed by how.. uh.. turned on? Nigel gets by watching the female dancers. A lil more focus on the men please - sans shirts if you will, and those teeny tiny shorts.. oh and can they be straight please? I just love the dancers' enthusiam and spirit, its why I can watch this show and hate American Idol. So glad its back! YAY!

I'd like to know why they spent 10 minutes to "showcase" Dancing Derrick. The man could not dance. That took away 10 minutes of my life that I will never get back! What a waste! I absolutely cannot believe Sex was back. OK, he's marginally better than before. But Nigel was right... he is insulting those who really do have talent and really do KNOW they can dance. And his mother. (Actually, I can totally understand how he turned out as he did... with a mother like that, yikes!) Really, either those two are completely clueless (especially her, encouraging him along!) or they are the worst media **ores in the world! Seriously. There were a couple of "feel good" stories... the girl who survived the three-story fall, the girl who had hip surgery. Liked those. Loved the hip hop dancers... and using E-Knock as his partner for the swing dance was absolutely brilliant (and hilarous, to boot). If you noticed, during the choreographed section, the big guy (what the heck was his name?) actually was following the choreography quite well. The ballroom couple that Mary thought was so good? She may have been referring to those she's seen in auditions, and not necessarily those who've gone thru the paces on the show. Yeah, Benji was good. But Benji really had one "style" and this couple's style was completely different. Loved Stanislav bringing his sister to audition (and loved that she made it thru!). I haven't checked the schedule, but do we have three more weeks of auditions, or will they double up the shows? Please don't drag out the auditions. Some of these people? They should NOT be encouraged. And putting their clips on the air -- the really gawdawful got-no-rhythm peeps -- definitely should be DIScouraged!!! (Oh yeah. Has no one ever watched these types of shows? If you say you teach whatever it is -- singing, dancing -- you'd better freakin' ROCK IT!!!!)

I didn't see the show, but one of the articles in my local newspaper was about Dancing Derrick. He lives about 15 miles from here, and apparently he does this in his own home town all the time. His family reported that they were very proud of him... I youtubed him and there are a couple of videos of him, one in his home town, and one taken on the streets of Rochester NY. The youtubes were all I needed to see. Crazy!

i just wonder why the producers even let sex go through. it must be like AI where the producers pick who get on tv. if that's the case, it wasn't necessarily his fault, but the producers. why they would let him go through is amazing. but i still love this show!

"it must be like AI where the producers pick who get on tv." I know on AI the contestants have to go thru a screening normally at a stadium somewhere and get a call back to see the TV judges. I don't think it is this way with this show. Last year one girl said she saw the line asked what it was for, went and got music and got in line. She could not of done that if there was a prescreening. Has anyone heard of a prescreening process? Those who know some who went to hollywood may be able to find out that answer.

The producers must have wanted Sex on the program. Someone earlier said that the age limit was 30 and Sex was shown as being 33.

At any rate, I'm really not sure why they'd put him on. It's not "good TV". In fact, if anything, it's pretty pathetic.

All I remember from last year is the girl who threw up. And I seem to recall they showed that stoopid clip more than once, and it was totally not necessary!

I like this show but I wish they wouldn't showcase people who are really strange ... it just seems so unkind.
