I have to say, I'm not a huge fan of leah as a host. I'm not a fan of her MOD hosting, but I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that she only acted that was since the core demographic of Much is pretty young.
But I guess that's the same demographic for SYTYCD too...

Anyway, she keeps saying the weirdest stuff. She's trying to be like Cat, where she says stuff that makes her seem like she "really knows" the group, but Leah just comes off as....eh.

Is it just me or do the judges tend to drone on as well. Leah needs to stop trying to be like Cat. I also hate the way she is constantly push the mike in the dancers face and allowing them to comment on everything the judges say. I just want to watch them dance have a short sound bit from each judge and move on. I don't want to listen to Leah announce each dancer over the music and beginning of each dance, or have her walk on stage and over to some prone dancer after a number talking to them are you alright are you ok etc. I have to admit I now fast forward thru all the talk and just watch the dancing which has been great, a few numbers have fallen flat for me but overall very enjoyable.

I'm finished my crab session now.

Holy Crap Canada got it so wrong last night, no way in h e double hockey sticks should any of the bottom 3 been there, they plus Anasay and her partner should be the last 8, the other 2 couples should have gone first. Laura gone, that is just wrong, her lines were beautiful, one of the best, what is wrong with people, good heaven, the kid and wig girl were horrible, and the other couple are just boring, I can't even remember the girls name that is partnered with Vincent, she is very unappealing to watch though. ugg.

I can't stand it anymore!! I'm beyond sick of judges and hosts pulling the, you think I'm going to say no, but I'm going to say yes!, double talk psych-out on the contestants.. I think it started on the American version with the picking of the top 20.. the judges get these poor, nervous kids in the spotlight and give them the sad face and the, I'm sorry to tell you that, sad face turns happy, You're coming to Hollywood!.. and then Mary Murphy turned into her own little artform with the, sad face, I didn't like, happy face, I LOVED IT!..
It's gotten old on the American one, and Mary Murphy has taken it way past old..she starts every positive critique by looking sad and negative. It's gotten to the point where I'm sure as soon as dancers see her looking serious and sad that they think, YAY, I'm going to get great comments! How disappointing it must be for the ones that actually get a negative comment with this weird set-up..
BUT NOW.. Leah Miller has taken this pysch-out thing to a new low.. She does it with every single elimination, and she even does it to the poor dancers that ARE going to the bottom 3.. It might have seemed a clever way to give the good news at some point, but it is in extremely bad taste to make bad news sound like it's going to be good.. and her double talk "Canada has decided that no you are yes not no going home want to see you dance in the bottom 3 blah, blah.. It's at the point now where the dancers just stand there looking confused not knowing if they're in the bottom or not..

It may still seem cute or clever to make people think they're going home, when in fact they're safe, but it's incredibly cruel to make them think they're safe and then tell them they're not! Anybody else getting annoyed beyond belief by this weird delivery method of Leah Miller??

I pretty much stopped watching.
I'll watch a dance or two if I happen to go past Muchmusic while channel surfing (since they play the episodes every 4 hours pretty much).

I guess I'll just have to enjoy the American version because I don't think this one's going to make it to a second year at this rate.

I enjoy this version almost as much as the U.S. one except I like the host on the U.S. one better.

I for the most part just watch the dancing and fast forward the chatting. I think the dancing has been up to par with the U.S. one.

I'll still watch and I think there will be a second season.

The talent on this is fantastic. I, like Miz, tend to fast forward thru the blah blah blah (for the most part)Rexy Rocket, Blake Bus, gag. But I did notice last week the chat was down to a minimum and Leah was not sticking the mike under everyone's nose nor was she talking over the beginning of the music and dancing, as well as toning the cutesy back. Good for her maybe she's reading people's comments. Regarding the eliminations, I do note she is reading off a card so I would imagine someone else writes the drivel she reads. If your reading this cut it out, CTV has thankfully kept the results to a nice 30 minute show now lets stop with the pretend suspense, it's just annoying to everyone.

And if anyone can tell me, who went last week, my PVR did not pick up for some reason.

Omg, Arasay and Vincent, are people crazy, why keep Issac, why keep Lisa, omg, I know it is hard but 2 or the very best gone, good grief, I love this show, just as good dancers as the American version and just as good judges.

Shadoe--I'm stunned Issac is still there too! Maybe he has a young fan base who have more time to call repeatedly?

I've really enjoyed SYTYCD-Canada and will watch it again if there's a second season.

Hiya Miz, A friend is getting us tickets for when the tour comes to Toronto in February. It should be fun, even though I haven't watched the show. I do hope to catch a few eps before we go so I can get 'jazzed' about some of the dancers, before seeing them in person. Now if my pal could score tickets for DWTS, if they come to town... I'd be over the moon.

Mame, they are down to 6 dancers so there aren't many weeks yet, two maybe.

On the west coast it's on CTV on Wed @ 8pm and Thurs usually 8pm but looks like 7:30 this week. Not sure about the west coast. Try this site for your TV listings, you'll need to change your location.

Neko, Nathalie, Myles, Little ballerina girl-can't remember her name lol
I know Neko and Nathalie are really good and Neko seems to be the fan (young girls) favourite but I have a soft spot for Myles and would LOVE for him to win.

Very Happy with the final 4 , I would be happy with any of them for the win. Not so happy about the tour, as usual the Canadian Border again stops at the Quebec New Brunswick border. Again we on the East Coast don't count.

They probably just think that since no one from the east coast made it to the Top 20, we stopped watching </sarcasm>

I know. I was really excited to see the tour and couldn't believe that there were like 5 stops in Ontario, and the closest they come to us is Montreal.

Ok, is it just me, or does anyone else agree that the girls were shafted on their final dance? They got a strip tease/go go dance that just made them look hoochie, and the guys got an awesome Capoeira routine. The girls were both TOTALLY capable of doing something strong like that together.

I want Miles to win anyway, so I won't complain tooooo much, but it just seemed unfair to me!

Well, we're not going. My pal said they couldn't get the tickets in a decent price range.

I agree with you BEEN, that go-go dance number was terrible choreography.

On the whole for the season, I think the dancers have been comparable with the American dancers, however, the choreography has not been nearly as good..

They've been trying so hard to showcase unusual styles of choreography, that I really feel that they have short changed the dancers...

So who won?
I didn't even bother to watch.

Whoever said above that the dancing was on par with the US version, but the choreography wasn't? I think that's what was bothering me but I couldn't put my finger on it.
Oh, and the judging. Hopefully next year I'll be able to stomach the judging.

I actually thought Allie would win, but that's based on watching 3 episodes in the beginning and bits and pieces here and there throughout the season.
So it was a complete guess LOL

ETA - Oh, I liked Miles and Lisa "Mirror Dance"

My tape cut off Thursday's episode and I was wondering who the final 2 were? Obviously Neko who was the other? (I haven't watched the finale yet.)
