9-11 Weecap	Black Swan Moan Season 9, Episode 11 - The All-Stars arrive to show the Season 9 kids how it's done, and while certain dancers (Cyrus, ahem) are elevated by the excellence around them, others (Cole) can't keep up, while others (George; poor George) can't catch a damn break.	08.22.2012 08.24.2012	A+	Joe R

9-7 Weecap	Jellicle Choreography for Jellicle Cats Top 20 - The Top 20 perform in pairs for the first time, letting us have it with some high-concept dances about cats, booze, and the early nude sketches of one Jack Dawson.	07.11.2012 07.12.2012	B+	Joe R
9-6 Weecap	Chrome Swan Meet the Top 20 - The Top 20 are chosen and then dance in their own styles, including a steel-plated ballet routine that may well have ended with Natalie Portman stabbed in the stomach, given the wardrobes.	06.27.2012 06.28.2012	A	Joe R
9-5 Weecap	Leaving Las Vegas Vegas Callbacks - Dancers upon dancers are cruelly cut from the competition, as the show whittles down to a mere 35 hopefuls. Does your favorite dancer quit, get kicked in the head, or call upon the power of tears to advance?	06.20.2012 06.21.2012	A-	Joe R
9-4 Weecap	SLC Crunk! Salt Lake City Auditions - The Salt Lake City auditions produce a lot of ballroom, a chirpy krumper, a backflipping Nice Guy, and the life cycle of the male praying mantis, sadly NOT performed by Isabella Rossellini.	06.13.2012 06.14.2012	B	Joe R
9-3 Weecap	Hot(lanta) Moves Season 9, Auditions #3 - Nigel and Mary are joined by Debbie Allen, which automatically makes this the best episode yet this season.	06.06.2012 06.07.2012	A+	Lauren S

9-1 Weecap	The Return of the Dancing Baby Dallas and New York Auditions - Only a show that's built up as much goodwill as this one could get away with as many cute children, human interest stories and sick mothers as this episode has. Come for the cute toddlers, but please stay for the two amazing ballet dudes.	05.24.2012 05.25.2012	B+	Joe R
8-23 Weecap	Dance for Jesse! Season 8: Finale - A delightful evening of excellent dancing leads up to a finale in which a deserving winner is chosen.	08.11.2011 08.12.2011	A+	Montykins
8-22 Weecap	Call Before You Come, I Need to Shave My Cha-Cha Season 8: Top 4: Performances - More flat dances than you'd expect from a Top 4 this talented. But a sluggish disco and a disaster of a cha-cha aren't going to keep Melanie and Sasha from battling it out for the title. And Nigel makes sure Tadd and Marko are well aware of how futile this looks for them.	08.10.2011 08.11.2011	A	Joe R
8-21 Weecap	Good Housekeeping Season 8: Top 6, Results - The eliminations were never going to be very shocking this week, but the show does a good job tidying up the field in preparation for next week's finale. Good news: Kent and Lauren return and are great. Bad news: we're supposed to care about Pia Toscano again.	08.04.2011 08.05.2011	A	Joe R
8-20 Weecap	Whacking Day Season 8: Top 6 Perform - Everyone says that the last slot is the Glamour Slot. So who gets it in the penultimate week? Tadd and Caitlynn! Betcha didn't see that one coming!	08.03.2011 08.04.2011	A	Montykins
8-19 Weecap	It'll be Sasha and Melanie Season 8: 2 of 8 Voted Off - This is where the judges decided to stop pretending we don't all know who the final two dancers are going to be.	07.28.2011 07.29.2011	B+	Montykins
8-18 Weecap	Who Throws a Shoe? Top 8: Performances - By the end of this Top 10 episode, you'll find out. Lady Gaga and the orangest man in Hollywood (now that Robert Evans is dead ... wait, he's what?) join us for an episode that really separates the contenders from the dancers trying to hang on for the finale. Bring on the dancing custodians!	07.27.2011 07.28.2011	A	Joe R
8-17 Weecap	Nine Inch Nails and Little Fascist Panties Season 8: Top 12 – Eliminations - Tyce Diorio proved an ill omen for the guys, while Bollywood claimed another Season 8 victim, as both Mitchell and Clarice danced their last dances tonight.

8-16 Weecap	Awesome: It's What's for Breakfast Season 8: Top 10 Perform - You only need one guest judge when it's Neil Patrick Harris.	07.20.2011 07.21.2011	B+	Montykins
8-15 Weecap	Another Pussycat Doll? Another Pussycat Doll? - Blah, blah, blah. The important part is that Cat Deeley got her well-deserved Emmy nomination. Jesse Tyler Ferguson is a prophet!	07.14.2011 07.15.2011	B+	Angel Cohn
8-14 Weecap	For Your Consideration Season 8: Top 12: Performances - The Top 12 get two chances to make their case for inclusion in the Top 10 (which means the tour AND getting to dance with the all-stars next week), and Jesse Tyler Ferguson gets real about how hard Cat Deeley deserves an Emmy.	07.13.2011 07.14.2011	A	Joe R
8-13 Weecap	Those Poor Kids Season 8: 2 of 14 Voted Off - Sometimes, the eliminated contestants take it harder than others, you know?	07.07.2011 07.08.2011	B	Montykins
8-12 Weecap	The Funk of Laziness Season 8: The Top 14 Perform - Yay! Travis Wall is a judge! And so is Carmen Electra! For some reason!	07.06.2011 07.07.2011	A+	Montykins
8-11 Weecap	Shutting the Door Season 8: 2 of 16 Voted Off - That nice Kristin Chenoweth comes back and sends two dancers off to oblivion. Why would she do that?	06.30.2011 07.01.2011	B-	Montykins
8-10 Weecap	Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Season 8, Top 16: Performances - A fantastic evening of performances inspires the judges (including Ms. Olive Snook herself) to amorous flights of fancy, while Mitchell and Caitlynn slay the ballroom dragon, and Jordan and Tadd slay a hip-hop dance of shame.	06.29.2011 06.30.2011	A	Joe R
8-9 Weecap	The One Where Uncle Nigel Outsmarts His Stupid Self Top 20: Results 2 - Last week's surprise immunity means the odds of elimination this week are INSANN! We all should have expected it could go bad...	06.23.2011 06.24.2011	A	Joe R
8-8 Weecap	We Got Hats! Top 18 Perform - Debbie Reynolds, legend of stage and screen, stops by to adore everyone uncritically.	06.22.2011 06.23.2011	B+	Montykins
8-7 Weecap	It's Make-Your-Mind-Up Time! 2 of 20 Voted Off - It's pretty early in the season for an anticlimax, don't you think?	06.16.2011 06.17.2011	F	Montykins
8-5 Weecap	Statue of No Limitations Top 20: Performances - It's only Week 1 of the competition round, and we've already got a couple of routines we'll be talking about all season. Megan Mullally joins the judging panel, to mixed results, and Nigel makes sure we all know he thinks the girls are better this year.	06.15.2011 06.16.2011	A	Joe R
8-5 Weecap	Anti-Confidence Dance Meet the Top 20 - I hope you weren't feeling good about your chances of making the Top 20, because that confidence proves to be the kiss of death as eleven more dancers get cut, and we arrive at our Top 20, followed by group performances that promise some good things to come. And also Tyce Diorio and Robin Antin. See what gets Cat Deeley raving about a "dickie bow"!	06.09.2011 06.10.2011	N/A	Joe R
8-4 Weecap	Boogie Shoes Las Vegas Callbacks - Dancing! Injuries! Drama! Sisterhood! Shattered dreams! A pool party! Whee!	06.08.2011 06.09.2011	B	Montykins
8-3 Weecap	Sister Acts Auditions: Los Angeles - A pair of sisters, a tomboy, a dad-to-be, a sex bomb, a recidivist, an immigrant, and a jolly, fat waste of time highlight the Los Angeles auditions, which go way better than Los Angeles auditions usually go on these shows. Come for some awesome female popping and locking. Stay for Jeanine (!) and Nigel's comedy highlight of the year.	06.02.2011 06.03.2011	A	Joe R
8-2 Weecap	Whacking Day Auditions #3 and #4 - You're not going to believe this: there's only ONE stupid joke auditioner in this two-hour episode! Amazing, right?	06.01.2011 06.02.2011	B	Montykins
8-1 Weecap	Where the Players Play Auditions: Atlanta and the Bay Area - Season Eight (!) kicks off in Atlanta, welcomes back Mary Murphy (yes it does!), and sees an unprecedented number of actually good auditions. Then it's on to San Francisco! Strippers and chemical imbalances and Tyce Diorio! Whatever, you guys, our show is back!	05.26.2011 05.27.2011	A	Joe R
7-20 Weecap	Get LoFro Finale - Season 7 ends with some excellent encore routines, a celebrity guest, and three finalists who can't legally buy a beer. Good thing they've got Gatorade.	08.12.2010 08.13.2010	A	Joe R
7-22 Weecap	Exhibition-Style Perfect Top 3 Perform - Everybody dances and the judges can't bring themselves to say a bad word. Except about the choreographers.	08.11.2010 08.12.2010	A	Montykins
7-21 Weecap	One Step Closer to Death 1 of 4 Voted Off - Amid guest dancers, movie clips, and a field trip to a sports-drink lab, there's hardly time to eliminate someone. Oh, wait, there's plenty of time. Thanks for coming, AdéChiké!	08.05.2010 08.06.2010	A	Montykins
7-20 Weecap	Send in the Clowns Top 4 Performances - The judges flipped for Robert's sad-clown dance, but it's Lauren who steals the show on Final 4 night. Meanwhile, Dance fans everywhere scramble to catch Kent and Neil off the friend-rebound.	08.04.2010 08.05.2010	A-	Joe R
7-19 Weecap	You Can't Ring My Bell Top 6 Results, Take Two - America don't care for androgyny, says Nigel Lythgoe. Which means goodbye to Billy Bell (and apparently, Tilda Swinton, Justin Beiber, and Samantha Ronson will soon be deported). As for Jose? Well, androgyny-hating America also has eyes.	07.29.2010 07.30.2010	C	Joe R
7-18 Weecap	Maybe I Was Afraid Before Top 6 Performances, Take Two - But if Lauren really was felled by an injury tonight, I'll be even more afraid of thus cursed season. Bright side: Billy and Robert kill it on contempo, and Kent bar mitzvahs right before our eyes.	07.28.2010 07.29.2010	B	Joe R
7-17 Weecap	The Week That Wasn't 1 of 6 Voted Off - The judges decide that their job is too HAAAARD and don't send anyone home. The audience howls for blood.	07.22.2010 07.23.2010	F	Montykins
7-15 Weecap	This Isn't Funny Anymore Top 6 Perform - We've added a judge but lost another dancer. Now Billy Bell is hurt! Is someone from Dancing With the Stars sabotaging this show?	07.21.2010 07.22.2010	D-	Montykins
7-15 Weecap	Last Dancer Standing 1 of 7 Voted Off - Another week, another dancer's dream ended by a tragic injury. Enjoy!	07.15.2010 07.16.2010	C-	Montykins
7-14 Weecap	Mama Said Knock You Out Top 7 Performances - The steamroller that is Season 7 of "Dance" claims another victim in rehearsals, but Robert, Allison, and Travis steal the show with a controversial statement about the awesomeness of moms.	07.14.2010 07.15.2010	A	Joe R
7-13 Weecap	A Depressing Anticlimax 1 of 8 Voted Off - Pasha and Anya dance! And on a less exciting note, the guy whose Achilles tendon ripped in two goes home. But... Pasha and Anya!	07.08.2010 07.09.2010	C-	Montykins
7-12 Weecap	Dancer Down! Top 8 Perform - Alex is hurt! The competition goes on, but that's all anyone is going to care about.	07.07.2010 07.08.2010	A	Montykins
7-11 Weecap	Duh-Hoy, Mateys! Top 9 Results - This week's ouster could not be less surprising. The show tries to make up for it with bonus Mark and Courtney. The show might be on to something.	07.01.2010 07.02.2010	A-	Joe R
7-10 Weecap	Pas de DUDE! Top 9 Performances - Alex Wong goes from ballet to B-boy in the span of two hours, rightfully freaking out everybody in the audience. Melinda books a ticket home (probably), and Kent's adorability becomes a liability.	06.30.2010 07.01.2010	A-	Joe R
7-9 Weecap	America: Redeemed Top 10 Results - The American people speak for themselves and overrule the judges' likes and dislikes, sending Christina and Melinda in a battle for who gets to stay one more week and not a moment longer. America kinda got it right, you guys.	06.24.2010 06.25.2010	B	Joe R
7-8 Weecap	The Hardest Part is Everything! Top 10 Perform - What happens when all-star sex bombs get paired up with young, innocent contestants?	06.23.2010 06.24.2010	A-	Montykins

7-6 Weecap	Who's Got Me Feelin' Emotions? Who's Got Me Feelin' Emotions? - Emotional connection is the bugaboo for Week 1, as several excellent dancers get told to feel it more.

7-5 Weecap	You've Got Style, That's What All the Girls Say Meet the Top 11 - The top 11 get to dance in their home styles in this meet-and-greet episode, where almost everyone is good, the all-stars stay silent (but for one), and Mia Michaels comes back with a vengeance.

7-4 Weecap	I'm Crying Like a Pregnant Woman! Vegas Callbacks, Part Two - An hour of dancing, followed by an hour of judges capering to fill time. But we finally get our top ... ten?	06.09.2010 06.10.2010	C-	Montykins
7-3 Weecap	Let Your Hair Down Auditions #5 and #6 / Vegas Callbacks, Part 1 - The auditions blaze through Dallas and Nashville before we kick off sweet, sweet Vegas week, with the returns of Alex Wong and Billy Bell and the COMPLETE TRANSFORMATION of Nicole Knutsen simply by letting her hair down. Somewhere in the world, Lynda Carter nods knowingly, shakes out her bun, and busts a move.	06.03.2010 06.04.2010	A+	Joe R
7-2 Weecap	A Dancer Dances Auditions #3 and #4 - Los Angeles and Chicago! People who can dance! And people who can't!	06.02.2010 06.03.2010	B+	Montykins
7-1 Weecap	The Good, The Bad, and the Broccoli Auditions #1 and #2 - There's always a little bit of something for everyone in these audition shows -- good dancing, quirky dancing, awkward dancing, bad dancing, and then there's the decorative vegetables.	05.27.2010 05.28.2010	B	Lauren S
6-24 Weecap	Gone Limp Grand Finale - An uneven season comes to a gimpy end, and we mean that way more literally than you'd think. A winner is crowned, and Jennifer Lopez is ridiculous.	12.16.2009 12.17.2009	B	Joe R
6-23 Weecap	All Killa, No Filla Top 6 Perform - Sixty minutes! Nine dances! Almost no shirts! The season's rush to oblivion reaches a fever pitch!	12.15.2009 12.16.2009	B-	Montykins
6-22 Weecap	Free Ride Top 8 Results - Five contestants dance their way into the finals, while one floats in on a river of her husband's tears. And that's not even getting into who gets eliminated. Come for the anger. Stay for MORE ANGER.	12.09.2009 12.10.2009	D	Joe R
6-21 Weecap	The Case of the Missing Ashleigh Top 8 Perform - Injuries take their toll again as Ashleigh has to beg for votes without getting to dance. She's got Ryan's support!	12.08.2009 12.09.2009	A-	Montykins
6-20 Weecap	An All-Night Dance Adventure 2 of 10 Voted Off - Snoop Dogg and a Legion of Dancers stop by to bid goodbye to two dancers.	12.02.2009 12.03.2009	B	Montykins
6-19 Weecap	Legacy: Dead and Loving It Top 10 Performances - A vampire cape fails to set the judgery a-twitter for Legacy, but an amazing Jakob and Ellenore routine steals the show.	12.01.2009 12.02.2009	B+	Joe R
6-15 Weecap	To the Victor Go Absolutely No Spoils Top 12 Results - Joe R's droopy-eyed boyfriend lays down a sweet solo but can't get 2/3 of the judges to give up the ghost on Nathan. Karen's also eliminated as we arrive at our Top 10.	11.25.2009 11.28.2009	B	Joe R
6-17 Weecap	Dolly Dinkle's Regional Hip-Hop Class 101 Top 12 Perform - There are cha-chas and can-cans and hip-hops and even some dances without hyphens in them. Whee!	11.24.2009 11.25.2009	A	Montykins
6-16 Weecap	The Cruelest Cut of All 2 of 14 Voted Off - Okay, it's not that cruel a cut. It's probably the right two people, to be honest with you. But it's a snazzy headline, right?	11.18.2009 11.19.2009	B	Montykins
6-15 Weecap	Sweet-and-Sour Charity Top 14 Perform - Broadway proves to be the low point for Karen and Kevin, while the rest of the evening brings high-water marks for Jakob, Ryan, Ellenore, and Kathryn.	11.17.2009 11.18.2009	A-	Joe R
6-14 Weecap	Tweenage Wasteland Top 16 Results - Nathan-loving power-voters ruin everything this week (according to Nigel) as good dancers end up in the Bottom 3 and crappy salsa routines go unpunished.

6-12 Weecap	The Tappening Top 18 Perform - There's blood on the tap shoes when a stiff samba does Phillip in and dispirited soul proves to be Bianca's undoing. Meanwhile, your recapper's love story with Legacy improbably continues.	11.03.2009 11.04.2009	B+	Joe R
6-11 Weecap	The Word For the Night is "Chemistry" Top 20 Perform - Dancers are dropping like flies, as Billy Bell is replaced by Brandon Dumlao and Noelle is down with a knee injury. But the show must go on!	10.27.2009 10.28.2009	A-	Montykins
6-10 Weecap	Dance with the Style That Brung Ya Meet the Top 20 - The Top 20 (or Top 19 plus one Dead Boy Walking) all get to dance in their own style before being flung to the wolves. Pretty much everything rocks, except for that deviant threeway ballroom.	10.26.2009 10.27.2009	A-	Joe R

6-7 Weecap	Finally, Vegas Vegas Callbacks #1 - In which most of the dancers we've met over the past six episodes get sent home and are never heard from again.	10.07.2009 10.08.2009	A	Montykins
6-6 Weecap	For the Want of a Nail Auditions #6 - A handful of promising ballroom dancers all get upstaged by a dislodged toenail, which hangs... bloodily... yeah, and now we've all passed out.	10.06.2009 10.07.2009	B	Joe R
6-5 Weecap	The Fairly Large Easy Auditions #5 - New Orleans contains bouncing, flipping, squealing, and the occasional bit of dancing. But not Nigel!	09.30.2009 10.01.2009	B+	Montykins
6-4 Weecap	The Real Dance Styles of Atlanta Auditions #4 - The Atlanta auditions go contempo-crazy, and Nigel manages to navigate some drama queens and sob stories with ... grace? That doesn't sound right.	09.29.2009 09.30.2009	B	Joe R

5-22 Weecap	For Evan's Sake Top 4 Perform - Everyone dances with everyone, and everyone dances alone, and the judges praise Kayla, Brandon and Jeanine, and also note that Evan is very popular.	08.05.2009 08.06.2009	B+	Daniel
5-21 Weecap	Four on the Floor 2 of 6 Voted Off - Melissa and Ade are sent packing, and a host of dancers from last year return to dance some of Season 4's favourite routines.	07.30.2009 07.31.2009	B	Daniel
5-20 Weecap	Willy Wonka Meets The Powerpuff Girls Top 6 Perform - Kayla and Brandon rip things up with perpetual crowd-pleaser disco, and Sonya does her usually trippy stuff for the two group numbers.	07.29.2009 07.30.2009	A-	Daniel
5-19 Weecap	Nothing to Write Holmes About 2 of 8 Voted Off - Jason and Janette are voted off, while the Katie Holmes "performance" doesn't even come close to living up to the hype.	07.23.2009 07.24.2009	D	Daniel

5-16 Weecap	Eastern Promises Top 10 Perform - The addition of two new routines -- this time a Bollywood number by the top five girls and an African dance by the top five guys -- goes a long way in spicing up a rather mediocre night when the Top 10 pick new partners, bust out their solos, and beg Americans to vote for them as individuals.	07.15.2009 07.16.2009	C	Lady Lola
