PSYCHED! I didn't realise Leah Miller was the host. I wonder if she gave up her job as a Muchmusic VJ for it, or if she can do both?

I think I read she is still doing both. I'm really looking forward to this as well, Jean-Marc Generaux is one of the judges. Have you seen the commercials, really good. The centre guy in them all is Blake, one of the judges and a contestant from the American version in Season 1 (I think). Make sure you come and say what you think each week, it will be nice to chat about it.

I miss Cat. Couldn't we have her in place of Mary Murphy.

I thought it was a great show, so entertaining and only a couple of auditions that were not good, but they seemed to be shown in a fairly positive light. I don't mind Mary, I've learned to enjoy her over the past few seasons. I adore Cat too and couldn't stop myself from comparing the two. Leah has big shoes to fill, hopeful once they pare them down to the finals and she is on camera more she will come into her own. One of my favourites they showed was the Asian guy who danced to the orchestra, that was riveting. So many really good auditions.

I can't seem to get into the format the this shows using compared to the American....which is funny, because the format's VERY similar but there's just SOMETHING off... I don't know if it's because the judges are different?? Or because as much as I like Leah, she's NO Cat?? Either way, I finally managed to watch an episode and watched the Halifax auditions, which was the one I really want to watch to see if I knew anyone... Well, I did. I'm sad that she didn't make it to the finals, but very happy that they put her through to choreography and that Blake was SO great to her and took her under his wing and really tried to help her. She's pretty out there but she's a really nice girl so I'm happy that they were so nice to her. (Except Dan, he was kinda an ass about her weight...) Anyone else still watching?

I just tuned in yesterday. I didn't realize it had started already!!!! I love SYTYCD!! I miss Cat, maybe this host will grow on me. I don't mind the judges. I just saw the episode of Vancouver and east coast. I think I'll get more into after the try outs. Is it a new episode on Thursday's or Sunday's? My DVR wants to tape all of them even repeats at least I'm thinking it's repeats because it's on tonight and Tuesday too. Can anyone help me with this?

Miz - They have been new on Thurs and Sunday. I beleive it is new tonight as well. I have really enjoyed the auditions, nothing missing for me. One difference is they are compacting several cities into one night and not showing lots of horrible auditons. Which is good for me I don't like the long drawn out audition shows for this and AI. Maybe you'll get into it more Neko when they get to the Toronto finals and start whittling down to the top 20. I think it is often hard watching other versions when you are used to seeing certain people and how they handle things. I love Cat as a host. (I hate how Leah always walks around with her hands shoved in her back pockets, she seems like she doesn't know what to do with them) Guys doing ballroom and salsa, I'd love to see more of that!

Thanks Jasper...so new on Thurs, Sun and this Monday... Frustrating setting my DVR cause all the show's don't show new or repeat, just the show so it wants to tape them all but it conflicts with some of my other programs so I just want to know which are new. lol I'll be back if I find any answers. I'm going to go hunting online for the answer.

Ok I found this: So You Think You Can Dance Canada (September 11, 14, and 17 at 5 p.m., Wednesdays at 5 p.m. starting September 17, CTV) Canada’s version of the hit U.S. series begins its inaugural season with three two-hour audition episodes that chart 2,500 dancers from five cities. Vancouver is featured on September 14. Here: http://www.straight.com/article-160143/fall-tv-gets-canadian-spin So it seems as though it's a new episode on Wednesday's.

Miz - I just watched Sunday's ep and it is not back on until Oct 1, pre-empted this week for the Dances with the Stars Triathlon. My PVR wants to record on Wednesday as well.

It was exciting to see my town's (Montreal) auditions. I liked the US shows, I hope we have the same level of dancing on ours.

Thank you thank you thank you that Emmanuel Sandhu is gone. I think it may have been Dan that remarked on his diva behaviour and imo he was right. He looked truly shocked that he was not going on. I got the impression he thought he would sail thru on who he was alone.

I think I like most of the Top 20. That guy who had to dance for his life because his group called him out on being a jerk, well, hopefully he's normally not such a jerk. LOL

My daughter is a dance teacher and has been in competitions where Kevin Mylrea was an adjudicator, so although she doesn't really know him, she has at least spoken with him and does have a connection to him. Because of that connection, Kevin was our favorite and we felt he would go far. Seeing him the first to get the boot was a huge shock.. we're not sure if we thought he was better than he was, because he was the one we were focusing on, or if his personality just didn't click with the audience? (by the way, daughter is spending Thanksgiving weekend in Calgary at a dance convention, featuring classes with Mia Michaels, Blake McGrath, Chris Judd (j-lo's ex hubby)and Benji Schwimmer!)

Trini--The same thing happened to my recording as well! I only saw 5 pairs and my PVR only taped 1 hour. I hope it doesn't happen again! Kellirippa--I thought Kevin was pretty good but for the bottom 3 guys, when they did their dance for their lives, I agreed Kevin was the weakest. I'm not big on contemporary dance though.

This week was really good! I was very impressed with most of the couples! Got the boot--Romina the latin dancer and the Dario the beat box dancer guy who could contort his body.

I'm really enjoying this, but I think Leah needs to pull it back a bit.
