Monday, October 26, 2009: So You Think You Can Dance

They have finally, finally, finally named the Top 20, though it seemed so much longer than it did during the summer. Perhaps my tolerance is lower for audition rounds when my DVR is overloaded with fall programming. Anyhow, tonight's special Monday night episode is the first chance we'll have to see many of these kids in action.

While I could have done without the padded Vegas, "lets slowly walk out on stage as the judges sit and fake out talented kids" episode, I'm looking forward to tonight's extraneous "getting to know you episode." One of the biggest problems I always have is that when the Top 20 starts, some dancers have gotten way more screen time during the audition rounds than others. Who wants to vote for the unknown factors unless they are stellar? This will hopefully even out the playing field a little bit. Though clearly, I already have my favorites (Ellenore, Billy, Russell) who make me want to vote for them, but tonight each dancer will get to showcase their own style and maybe I'll add some others to my short list.

If you haven't been watching, this is the episode to start with. Jump in, have a good time, and be prepared for your mind to be boggled with an overload of dizzying spins and giant leaps across the stage and so much tapping you won't know what hit you. Oh, and don't forget your earplugs!

Considering the auditions were only one hour a week instead of the four hour (two hours two nights a week), it probably DID take longer. Not sure I like the move to Mondays and Tuesdays, tho, because even with two DVRs I might have to give something up and it just may well be SYTYCD if V is any good.

Love the show, but absolutely hate the move to Mondays and Tuesdays. I like DWTS as well and I want to watch both shows at normal time without recordings: my recorder's handling of HD broadcasts isn't great. And on Wednesdays and Thursdays there is nothing to see..
