Shankdaddy as new permanent judge on sytycd! Thoughts? I'm hoping they still have guest judges as well, and am a bit worried that won't leave time for real commentary, but I like him lots, so ooh...

Oh, yay!!! I was fearing that they'd pull an AI and hire someone as useless as Ellen. Shankdaddy is perfect!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Love him!

I think that's an interesting take on VE. There definitely were some issues with how they were treated (although I think for the record there's less homophobia on ABDC than SYTYCD) but overall I was pleased to see them on there and generally successful.

And the "takedown" coming from Lil Mama herself is interesting -- she seems so plugged into the ball scene and etc., I could almost see it as the kind of advice that could be appropriate in private, like, "Look, you know you have to be More Than, so you better make sure no one can call you out as a hissy-fit throwing diva."

Did people see that Tyce won the Emmy? Or are we trying to ignore it in the hopes it will go away?

Because books.

I pretty much missed the SYTYCD auditions last week, but they're really excellent tonight.

Blech indeed.

Seriously - Mike I. is this year's Spike. I keep saying that so he won't be that guy who's name I've mentally blocked out who never should have won last year.
