The fall season was weird. All of a sudden, it seemed like they decided it wasn't working out and the season was over. Just odd to me. I prefer it in the summer when nothing else is on.

Me, too. The fall season started way too soon after the summer one. It did seem rushed.

Funny, when I got up this a.m. and sat down with coffee, I turned on the TV and went to watch SYTYCD (that I thought I'd recorded last night). Imagine my dismay when I realized I'd somehow not recorded it. Duh me. First of all, it's not on until TONIGHT. And secondly, I did set it to record last night, but to record TONIGHT'S show cuz I'll be out tonight. Dork. Me.

(But I was so disappointed to think I'd missed it. Not many reality TV shows that would make me feel like that.)

I did the same thing after I watched Glee last night...for one thing one of the commercials said something like (or this is what I heard) "the judges go to the contestant's homes and announce the top 10" -- apparently I heard an advertisement about the Thursday show before I heard the one about the Wednesday show.

the prob with the fall one was that they showed way too many weeks of auditions. I think it was about a month worth. I was really happy we didnt have to see Sex again!

OMG if I never see Sex again it will be too soon!!!

ETA: I wonder if he tried out again this season, with his mother? Maybe the producers finally figured out that they were encouraging him by continually giving him air time, and decided not to this time? If so, it's about freakin' time!

I am so sad that Anthony Burrell didn't make the top 10!!! I also loved the curly blond girl Ryan? I wish they had made it. It stinks only having a top 10.

I thought the second hour was boring, especially Nigel chasing all over the midwest. Thought that section could have been made much tighter and done in 1/2 the time. And didn't seem much improvement over their just telling them on stage at the end of the whole process.

I found myself wishing they had kept all 24, and didn't understand some of the decisions.

I agree about the second hour, I didn't think they needed to have a full hour of visiting people, that was just too much. It's bad enough for them to not get on the show, but to drag it out and put it on the air in their home? I don't know why they did that.

I wish the guy who hurt his leg got on, that's the only one I'm upset about, he was so good and I really wanted to see him in this competition. They make it seem like this is the end all be all of dance, I think the dancers who didn't get on should try for a company, a show, something else, this is not all, so I hope that guy does something like that.

We'll see how this new format goes I guess, when they start to dance this episode will be a distant memory.

Stormie, she has blonde hair. they did a segment showing how Mia 'discovered' her. Nice enogh girl but I dont like ringers

Thanks Pamy, I have no idea which one she was, lol. I see your point, but they may not get it easier, I know I liked Debbie Allen's dancer, I thought he was fantastic, so, I don't know.

I'm pretty sure the blonde curly-haired girl that Mia "discovered" was one of the final two they visited at home, and she didn't make it. I mean, it definitely was a blonde curly haired-girl. And I'm pretty sure it was the one Mia "discovered."

They were quite brutal to the girl who withdrew in favor of her scholarship. Especially if the producers insisted she go to Vegas anyway, knowing the conflict with the scholarship. Way to go insinuating she should forgo a scholarship for their show. Not very classy, IMHO. I'm sure she can learn a lot more through the scholarship than she could ever learn from a few weeks of being on the show.

I thought it was Ryan Ramierez and that she was one of the last to find out she didn't make it, but I could be wrong. I preferred her to some of the other women, but I guess when you are only taking 10...no, make that 11...couldn't they have evened it out and taken one more woman?

Hopefully we will see Ryan and Anthony next year.

It was probably edited to look like she quit because of criticism. I think there's a probability, at least partly, that IS why she backed out.

I really wish they had given a reason for not taking Anthony...weren't that saying they took things like age into consideration, and that they would leave out younger dancers because they knew they would have a good shot again next season???

Because isn't Anthony one of the older dancers? And yet they took the kid from the farm that is only what? Maybe 18 years old?

He (Kurt?) is a good dancer, but personally...I would have preferred Anthony. That was really disappointing. Like Nigel said. It is the difference between watching a man and watching a boy.

Oops! Sorry. Kid from the farm is Kent!

I also just looked it up, and it appears as though Anthony Burrell is 29 years old. I'm also reading that he is (or has) been linked with Rihanna???

I saw some videos on YouTube, and he is just an incredible dancer. I really thought he was a lock for the Top 10.

Can you tell I'm a fan of this guy?

I thought Anthony had more heart and is a much better dancer than a couple of the other guys. Can he come back at 30 yrs? I love the farm boy but agree he could have waited another year. I agree that he is the only one I am truly bummed about. I would have taken him over any of the other guys except Wong.

It broke my heart when he was crying and I thought it was cuz he was happy and he said it was from pain.

LOL at Lil C!!!!! he cracks me up! "im the cool one!, now I feel like Adam!' hahahhahahaha

Mia's dancer didnt make it. As I said before, the girl is a great dancer and seems sweet as pie. I wonder if that is why Mia wasnt on the final judging panel.

When I saw Anthony and Ryan get visited, I sort of suspected neither one would make it thru. They already had a blonde girl and an AA guy. It definitely looked like they were trying to pick different "types" this time.

That said, I wish they'd let Ryan thru. They picked an extra guy, after all. And who the heck was Robert? Did they really show him during auditions and Vegas Week?

That second hour was a waste of time and I'd like my hour back. They should stick to the have them walk out on stage thing. Although I'm guessing there was a time diff between Vegas Week and decision, probably because I think they wanted to see which returning All Stars would be available. I suspect anyways.

I would assume that a lot of the top dancers we see on this show could potentially be known to the judges and choreographers...for instance, Billy Bell...obviously he has been "seen" in the business since he and that other guy (Robert?) were in the Alvin Ailey review. Wasn't Twitch the one who was one of Debbie's protoges? I don't think that would necessarily make someone a "ringer." This isn't Idol, where (supposedly) the talent is a lot more inexperienced, or at least more "local." A lot of these dancers who are in their 20s have been working in the professional leagues for several years, if you look at past contestant's resumes. Or at least that is the impression I have given.

I wonder at why Anthony v. any of the other male dancers. Perhaps it has something to do with his injury? To me he was better than the farm guy too, as cute as the farm guy is. Isn't the cutoff age for SYTYCD 30? So potentially he could come back next year?

I also wondered if the reason that Mia was out of the show last season was because of her mother, who she said last night passed away 3 weeks ago. Perhaps she stayed away the last season to be with her, if she had an illness.

I liked the way they used to walk down a hall that showed videos of their dances much better than this "home visit" situation. That just seemed stupid to me.

It wasn't Twitch, it was Will (who was Debbie's protege).

Oh, that's right! Sometimes after a couple of seasons they all kind of blend together for me.

By the way, I read on another site that Ryan Ramierez was the one who they said was hired by Mia to help her choreograph her dances.

I also wanted Ryan to make it. It doesn't seem fair that if they took 11 guys but that they couldn't take her. I guess it came down to who they had as the past dancers.

Well, they have 11 dancers, who knows, they may want to make it an even dozen and bring her in (as a twist).

Okay ... I'm confused (possibly because I didn't see the end of last night's show). My TV listings for tonight's show say "Top 10 Dancers revealed tonight" but they already have their pictures posted on the website. Are they spoiling tonight's show?
