So You Think You Can Dance Season 11

[beautywickedlover]

It's back! I've always enjoyed watching the show over the summer. Season 10 was not perfect, but I still liked it. There's only one downside to this upcoming season and it's in the link below.


Justin Bieber to Appear on 'So You Think You Can Dance' to Introduce New Competition Element: Dance Crews

[Mister Matt]

Why on earth would they put that little twit on the show?

I'm so excited for 8pm to get here. I LOVE this show. I concur that I can do without anything that Bieber has touched. That's what the FF button is for.

(Although I do enjoy dance crews, too.)

I think this is the first time I have watched an entire first episode of this show from start to finish. I'm just not a fan of the filler they pad the first few episodes with.

[Jane2]

as much as I'd like to, I can't watch the show unless it's on mute, to eliminate the noise coming from that woman judge.

[Liza's Headband]

GET ABOARD THE HOT TAMALE TRAIN, JANE!!!!! WOOT WOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!!!

[Jane2]

I won't!

Really great performance shows this past two weeks. It's not easy to see anyone go home. I really enjoy seeing ballroom dancers on the show, but Malene and Nick were not great in their routines tonight.

[DottieD'Luscia]

I fell asleep on my sofa right before the elimination!! Same complaint about Spencer Liff as last year. He's saddling the dancers with not so great choreography. I really like Stanley, but Misty Copeland was right in saying he and Malene were two dancers dancing separately (I don't blame the dancers for that).

I liked the opening number choreographed by Josh Bergasse.

I really hope the show wins the Emmy for Outstanding Reality Competition this year. It's needs a little bit of a boost. I'm sad that people are not watching it as much anymore.

"On FOX, So You Think You Can Dance earned a 1.2 down fourteen percent from last week's 1.4 adults 18-49 rating."

^I think you and I are the only one's who are watching from here!

My issue with the show is that most of the dancers are really young (late teens). Would it hurt to cast people in the 20s?!

[dramamama611]

I watch the show religiously. (I just don't think to jump on here to commet!) And yes, the right people went home last week. I found that other years there have been a wider span of ages, but it certainly doesn't bother me...it's not like they didn't get the chance.

I think Mary HAS calmed down a bit in the last few years.

I couldn't agree more about Liff. Kind of interesting how Nigel (in particular) will point out when he feels the choreographer is at least partially to blame.

[DottieD'Luscia]

For some reason this season just isn't doing it for me. I'm sorry they haven't allowed the dancers in the bottom 3 to "dance for their lives." Would rather see that than the nonsense snippets before each performance. Maybe they'll do that when they're down to 10 dancers.

It has been pretty obvious to me who has been going home each week. The judges have been basically telegraphing it when they're judging those particular dancers.

I really had high hopes for Marquet, but he just didn't shine like he did during the audition process. Emilio is my only favorite left.

It was nice to see ABTs Misty Copeland for 3 weeks as a guest judge.

It's weird how Jessica has lost all three of her partners. She's certainly making a connection with the viewers, but every guy she's been partnered with is not.

[dramamama611]

Last year they didn't have them dance for their lives all the time -- only when they were still undecided.

Nigel made some sort of comment that BOTH weeks they simply let go the people that the least number of votes.

[mlsheehan]

I, also, watch the show, but usually a day late. Now, that I've adjusted to only one episode a week (it took me a long while), I don't miss the dancing for your life part. I'm enjoying this season, but it always takes me until they get to 14 or 12 dancers before I keep everyone separate in my mind.

At least this season, there does not appear to be a b-boy or street dancer that they coddle to the finale. That drives me crazy.

Allison Holker is going to be a pro on 'DWTS' next season.
