I don&#8217;t like the stage. Or the lights. It&#8217;s too big and showy and impersonal. Is it weird that I miss the stairs too?<\/p>\n<p>Second. I hate that the results shows had to be sacrificed for the first 2 weeks because of World Series programming.<\/p>\n<p>AND THIRD. I call shenanigans on the eliminations. I am SO ANNOYED that Noelle got a free pass when Ariana got cut. She&#8217;s injured. She cannot perform. So what is she doing in the Top 18 now? DOES NOT COMPUTE. I&#8217;m also annoyed for poor Brandon. Billy gets sick and bows out of the competition. Understandable. But why&#8217;d they even bother to bring Brandon back if the judges didn&#8217;t think he was ready for Top 20 anyway? They should have just &#8220;eliminated&#8221; Billy and Noelle and everyone else could move on to the next week.<\/p>\n<p>I love this show but GAWD. I don&#8217;t get their logic sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>There were only 2 good things about the performance show&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>1. Actual constructive criticism from the judges this week. WTF. This never happens! Most of the time they compliment the choreographers or talk about how gorgeous the dancers look. That&#8217;s nice and all but tell them what they can improve on! For example, I was SO GLAD that Adam told Bianca that she was hunching her shoulders and needed to point her toes. I was griping about both of those exact things during the whole routine. (Rob loves watching this show with me, hehe).<\/p>\n<p>2. Kathryn and Legacy&#8217;s hip hop routine. They were so awesome and charismatic! And I don&#8217;t even really care for Legacy. This was the only memorable performance of the night for me. Everything else was completely mediocre and forgettable (choreography and performances both).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m really, really disappointed so far. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>For the record, my early favorites (based on Vegas week and the Top 20 preview show) are Pauline, Russell, and Ellenore. But none of them really &#8220;wow&#8221;-ed me last night.<\/p>\n<p>I hope next week will be better. *crosses fingers*<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So You Think You Can Dance season 6 has started and I already&#8230; do not like it. :\/ I don&#8217;t like all the changes they had to make to the format of the show.
