Choreographer Alex deSilva has been arrested for rape! Four women over a few years have claimed he lured them to his house and raped them. One was a minor. Prosecutors believe there are more victims out there who haven't reported. LINK

I just read the article. I certainly cannot understand why he escaped prosecution on the other rapes that occurred a few years back.

The two night season premiere is Thursday, 5/21 and Wednesday, 5/27. This week's TV Guide has an article about Mary (I always forget she opened up the Champion Ballroom here!). Of this season, she says "We're already getting attached to quite a few. Usually it takes so long." She says she's even spotted some who could make her personal top 10 Hot Tamale Train list. The article also has a "where are they now" of the past four seasons' winners.

Kherington Payne (pretty, tall blonde top-10 finalist from last season, who I believe was partnered with Twitch), is in the movie remake of "Fame" that's being released this fall. She plays "Alice."

I think they could put something on Saturday night in place of one of the Cops shows.

I loved the first season of this show, but then it became "Do you think you can do gymnastics". I'm sorry, because I will probably be in the minority on this, but no one can brain wash me into believing that spinning on you head is dancing, nor jerking your body, nor playing robot. The flips and things belong in the Olympics during a floor exercise. It's probably politically incorrect to say these things, but the hip hop "dance" does nothing for me. Why do we have to go along with this charade? Come on, head spinning? I agree the people who do all the jumping around are very talented, and what they do is amazing, I just wouldn't call it dance, I would call it very athletic and interesting. I find it painful to watch when this type of dance gets the most applause and kudos, unbelievable but predictable.

I don't think that just because it's a dance genre you don't understand, that it's not a "dance." All of the dances represented on SYTYCD are pretty well established. If you want only ballroom dancing, I think there's another show for that. Personally, I find some of these dancers the most exciting of any I've seen in a long time.

Wilson, aren't almost all the reality shows now doing 'em twice a year? I think that's why I have RTV burnout!

It's not a matter of "understanding" dance. You can argue that any form of movement is dance. I just think people are afraid to say the emperor isn't wearing any clothes. If you consider spinning on your head as "dance", good for you, you obviously have a much deeper understanding of dance than I, and are much more advanced in what's acceptable and things esoteric. When people say you don't "understand", that sends all kinds of red flags. As far as popping and head spinning as "established", well, all I can say, unfortunately, a lot of things are "established" now, and it's turned out not to be a very good thing for our society. That things are "established" doesn't constitute positive or favorable. Is it still OK in America to have an opinion, or is having an opinion now politically incorrect? I knew I would draw comments like this, unavoidable.

I would consider spinning on the head dancing if they are doing it in time to the music. I think the rhythm, movement and music are what makes it dance. I understand that sort of dance may not be some people's cup of tea, but I enjoy it. I think that is why I enjoy this show better than I enjoy something like Dancing With the Stars (which I also like...just not as much.) I seem to enjoy every season more than the next. I like the partner stuff and the more classical, but love all types. I like to see some of these kids who have a background in hip hop dance the tango or someone who has a background in classical ballet dance hip hop....that's so fun to see. There is so much talent on this show, and it also requires years of training or practice to get to their level. These are the kids I would prefer to see be reality show stars. I only hate that there aren't more opportunities for dancers so we don't see them much after the show is over. (Looking forward to Fame, though.)

I'm so glad there are people who enjoy the hip hop and popping, I also enjoy watching them, but have a hard time seeing this as dance. When I say this, I mean in ballet, how you hold your hands is very important, as it is in most dances, how curved your back, or how straight, is the elbow high enough, are your toes pointed etc. I guess I mean there is criteria for judging most dance, and not WOW! he did 5 revolutions on his head, he gets a 10! Maybe, since this hip hop and popping and flipping is new, they will eventually have such criteria in the future from which to judge. Judging should try to be as objective as possible, but with no criteria, it's totally subjective. As long as the majority of the people enjoy this, that's all that counts. This is entertainment after all, and not all things appeal to all people.
