It didn't go over that I noticed, but it was on for two-hours, if you missed something, though, try at click here. I'm not sure about their new format, it started to bother me at the beginning of the show, I don't know, maybe bc it's new. I missed Mary, but the judges comments seemed more constructive than they've been in past season, which was good. I liked different aspects of all the performers, but I must say, I really liked Alex and Allison, and I really focused on Alex, so he was my vote, what a stunning performance, Sonya outdid herself. I'm not sure who will be at the bottom, it's so hard to say, I just hope it's not Alex.

I had mixed thoughts/emotions about the new format but after the first full competitive show last night I actually like it. In the past you had pairs made up of two contestants and if one of them was off, say because they were out of their genre, then it could negatively impact the other. By having the "pro" partner who will, as I understand it, always dance in their genre the contestant is not so dependent on the performance of their partner. On the whole last night we thought the performances were pretty darn good.

I think Melinda and Adechilke will be in the bottom. I totally didn't see why Adechilke was on the show last night. Absolutely loved Alex and Allison. I think, if you think back, the first dance of the season has always been a tough one. But Alex knocked it out of the park. He got lucky, with a great partner, great choreographer, and great song, though. The judges were right... a lot of performance was missing. And a lot of connections were missing. Adechilke totally didn't connect Kathryn at all. When was Allison on SYTYCD? I do like the new format. And I really like that there is no screaming Mary on the panel this time. The judges did seem to provide thoughtful criticisms (although they did seem to natter on a bit long). I'm having a hard time remembering some of the all stars.

I thought Mark was amazing, as always. I agree...can we vote again for him? He and Sonya seem to totally be in sync! I thought almost all of the performances (except for the tap girl) were pretty good last night, and some of them were really good. I was a little disappointed in Billy Bell, but I think that doing Footloose is a bit cliche, and that's not necessarily his fault.

Couldn't see all the fuss about Robert. Yeah, good dancer, but, to me, seemed somehow disconnected (for lack of a better word) on the show. Can't really place my finger on why yet, but I think he will go "shockingly" early. Billy could be in trouble too. He's been so hyped that the dance was a let down. Alex (wow) and Kent (girls squeeling) will go far... not sure about the women yet. None stands out for me.

I find myself not really caring that much about the contestants other than Alex and Kent (aka little Paul Newman) and really getting into watching the all-stars. Twitch, Pasha, Allison, and Mark really blew me away last night. I would love to see Mark and Sonya dance together on a results show, they would be so freaking fabulous!!

They seemed to be having a lot of technical problems, especially in the beginning. In the introduction shots, the wrong cameras seemed to be used. You'd get a long shot, showing the whole theater on one, then the next would be up really close.

I was wondering about that too...they totally blew the intro shots. One contestant you would see up close, one you would see from the side, and way too many of them you saw from the back of the theatre. And that squealing and yelling of names during the dances is ridiculous and totally disrespectful of the artists.

Thanks Stormie, turns out it was "operator error." I was able to watch the rest today. Allison was on Season Two I believe, and she was my favorite. I watched her contemporary dance with Ivan a thousand times. I can still picture them snuggling together at the end. She was sent home too soon and I have missed her ever since. She looks very different now. Different, in fact, from how she looked during the Where are they Now episode last year or whenever, when I noted that 1)she had a baby! and 2)her eyebrows looked weird! There was something different about her then, and something differently different now. But she looks beautiful and her dancing is perfection! Look at that picture up there!

I didn't think I would like the new format but after last night I changed my mind. Too often a good dancer was paired with a poor dancer, but now there are no excuses for a bad performance. If they can't be great with an all star, then something is wrong with their dancing - not their partner's. I didn't think Melinda belonged on the show and I still don't.

dang I am shocked!!! I only got 1 of the bottom 3 right and so thought Melinda would leave. I was also shocked Cristina was in the bottom. I loved her routine with Mark. I think she reads a little old and that may be why she didnt get votes I think the first 4 they showed tonite will be the final 4 but what do I know LOL

Madelane, that is exactly how I feel about Allison. I loved her during her season, season 2. She is my all-time favorite female dancer from SYTYCD. I also watched the video of she and Ivan too many times to admit! This is when I fell in love with dance (being someone who had no real knowledge of it until this show). Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH_5NSNYtoM

I was surprised Christina was in the bottom 3, too. I thought Adechilke would be in the bottom 3. Not surprised Alexie was in the bottom or that she went home. She danced with TWITCH for gawd's sake. That man is a genius, and the judges were right... that was a "cute" dance. But it wasn't hip hop, and it was no where near where it should've been with Twitch. I am liking this format. As mentioned, it's nice to see one dancer be an expert and paired with a contestant. I think it the dancing up to a new level -- and it's not just that you have only one person who is learning how to dance in a new style. It's like the contestants are upping their game, too. At least some of them!

Official BTF (Burn the Floor) tweeted this morning that Mary Murphy will be guest starring on the US BTF Tour. Dang, I want to see this show. I think it comes to TX in October ...

I completely agree, Costa. I really am enjoying the new format. It moves things along far more quickly.

Geez, I have no idea what I was trying to say when I wrote "I think it the dancing up to a new level...". Sorry about that. 5:30 in the morning and only one cup of coffee is my excuse!
