That would be nice Kookliebird but what will probably happen is a double elimination first week. I had to go out and missed Anthony's visit, silly me, I just assumed he was a sure thing. Didn't even notice when they introduced them all, I was surprised and disappointed when I read it here that he didn't make it, I was looking forward to seeing him dance again.

They revealed the top 11 dancers last night. Maybe tonight one of 'em goes right away, to make top 10?

Isn't tonight when they kind of do a synopsis about each of them, showing all of their dances during the audition process? I kind of remember them doing a showcase-type of thing last year.

Costa, I agree who was Robert? LOL They should have put Anthony in that slot! Heck, Robert and Bell are already dancing with Alvin Ailey! I think the farm kid will get some of the votes Billy Bells would have gotten so I will be surprised if he makes it top top 3.

Even though I dont like ringers I think Ryan should have made it over the ballroom gal

Yeah, the farm kid and Billy Bell are going to be difficult to keep track of.

I did like Ryan and thought she should've gone thru. I can understand not wanting to put thru all contemporary dancers, but still... she had a lovely light from within when she danced.

And yeah, I loved Anthony. I liked him way better than that farm kid.

Is anyone else having problems with the broadcast skipping tonight? It is very distracting.

I didn't like the second hour, either. Having all those families sit around in suspense like that was just mean. I liked it better when they were told on stage, too.

Did they change it up this season or has it always been the top 10 (or 11) right away? I'm not sure I like them bringing back the previous dancers, as it makes it more difficult to focus on the new ones.

The show has now attracted so very many terrific dancers, they could have easily kept people entertained with 20 new dancers to start with; 10 couples. Is it a very short season or something? Is that why they are bringing back previous dancers, who won't be part of the competition?

I love Lauren...her solo last night was something else.

They totally changed it up.

They had top 24 or 20.

And I didn't like the idea of the experts but I guess since they don't just stick with one expert like they do in DWTS, the voting should be for the contestant and not for/against the returning "expert".

I liked the farm kid and Lauren and I'm sure there are others I'll love.. just hard to keep track of who is in and out.

Was sorry the girl who had to stop lessons for monetary reasons wasn't the one kept in the top 5 girls. I was hoping that someone would step up and offer her a scholarship so she could return next season with another year of training under her belt.

I agree that the last hour was mostly uncomfortable fluff.

I'm not watching this year I don't care for the premise of the show.

Loved seeing Mark and Neal (my two personal favorites). Thought this was a good show.

that opening # was awesome! I forgot how interestingly evil Mark can make his face!! Love it!

Havent seen whole show. Loved the first routine but didnt care for the 2nd girl routine.

Although, I am not loving this premise either, I still love this show.

Msbullwinkl, there was one spot in about the middle of the show where the picture froze up and I could still hear the sound track. The problem lasted for a minute or two, but didn't seem to cut out anything vital. I have a DirecTV DVR. The west-coast broadcast three hours later didn't seem to have that technical difficulty.

My random thoughts on last night's show -

Mark has grown into a fine looking young man. His dancing has really grown as well. Whenever he was on stage, my eyes went directly to him. I think he commands the stage more than any of the other dancers. The first number was perfect for him.

I don't know if this new format will work either. With the exception of Mia's dance, this year's contestants weren't exactly showcased, Consquently, I found myself following the dancers that I know, instead of seeing what the new dancers were doing.

Mia's dance was beautiful in it's simplicity. But, then, she got probably the 2 best dancers to work with. In that group, I found myself drawn to watching Alex more than Billy, but both were really good and will probably make it far.

I love Dominic, but his antics annoyed me.

I kind of agree -- while it was nice to see some of the returning dancers -- I felt like they actually were overshadowing the contestants a bit. Any solo parts should only be given to the contestants, not the returners.. but... this was a showcase, and I will wait and see how things play out next week.

Fave routines of the night: Kent and Lauren with Travis' dance, the Hip hop routine... and the boy, adult, old man (mia's dance).

still loving Alex though...

Alex just shined through the Mia dance. Kent was also great. I didn't see the intro and was surprised to find out it was him dancing.

None of the girls stood out to me, at all.

I think changing it up a bit may be good for the show. I guess time will tell with the ratings.

I loved seeing everyone. Awesome dancing! Mary used to annoy me...but...lol, I miss her! I have mixed feelings about Mia, I like her, I don't always like her.

I found it hard to tell the difference in the actual dancing between the new dancers and the allstars for the most part. Salsa girl was easy to see the difference though. They were all good of course, but new contestant was noticeably not as good.

I thought that about the Salsa girl too, but I attributed it (in part) to the fact that Anya and Pasha are so used to partnering with one another that their connection is almost visible. It was really hard to intrude a third party onto them. I think it would have been better to have her dance only with Pasha (who does shirtless very well) instead of in a threesome.

I agree with what was said about Mark. Your eyes are just drawn to him...his face is just so extraordinary. I can't wait to see who he will be dancing with next week!

Christina's kicks (salsa girl) weren't all that great, which I noticed and then Nigel commented on. Anya's kicks were sharp and spot on, so it was easier to be drawn to her (and compare her to Christina).

Still fanning myself from watching Pasha last night, whew!! That one lift he did with Anya was incredible!!

I found myself watching the Allstars and not the contestants. And everyone is so right that Mark and Neil/Neal really grab your attention no matter how many people are on the stage. I wonder if some people will end up voting for their favorite Allstar's wow factor no matter how their contestant partner for the week dances. I can see Mark getting that type of voter response.

But we don't know if the all star paired with the person leaving also has to leave the show. If not, if they will continue to rotate the all stars all thru the competition, then that would prevent people from voting for their all star.

Either way, they won't be paired with the same people each week, so you may be saving your all star but you wouldn't necessarily be saving the contestant (except for that one week). It won't be like DWTS where you can continually vote for the pro, and thereby drag the star along too.

The way I understand it is that the All Star will be paired with a type of dance, not with a contestant, so his or her services will be used as that type of dance is pulled out of the bucket. For instance Twitch, Dominic (and I agree about the mugging...this season isn't about you!) and Comfort will be doing hip hop with whomever is doing that dance that week...Lauren and Ade will be doing contemporary, Pasha/Anya will be paired with whomever is doing ballroom...and on and on.

I understand that Mark will work with a different contestant each week, the point I was trying to make (and not very well) is that I can see Mark's fan base voting each week for him and the contestant who happens to dance with him will greatly benefit that one week because of Mark's fan base and maybe not because of the contestant's fan base.
