Wasn't there some staggeringly implausible number of votes coming out of Arkansas? Kind of lends some credence to the theory.

Non-Fiction TV: I Reject Your Reality and Substitute My Own
This thread is for non-fiction TV, including but not limited to reality television (So You Think You Can Dance, Top Chef: Masters, Project Runway), documentaries (The History Channel, The Discovery Channel), and sundry (Expedition Africa, Mythbusters), et al. [NAFDA]
I heard a report of 38 million votes coming from Arkansas.
I think they need to figure out how many votes came from the vendor phones in question to see if this would have made a difference.
the 38 million AR votes things was retracted not long after it was announced.
SYTYCD: Aw, Silky the tap dancer is awesome! That was so much fun! (Although I think he might have missed Savion Glover bringing tap back, honestly.)
With the girl in the tutu dancing to the cover of Toxic. I liked the song better than her dancing.
Tyce always looks like he doesn't really like anything.
Cool I'm glad we got to see Travis (the dancer) who has the cool football coach dad who is proud of his son. Neat dad.
I was randomly wondering about the music rights in the auditions -- if they get a list of songs or what. But no:
ALL SONGS MUST BE SONGS THAT ARE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE VIA RETAIL CHANNELS AND CANNOT BE A RE-MIX OF A SONG, A SONG DOWNLOADED FROM THE INTERNET OR WEBSITES, OR A CONTESTANT-CREATED MIX (I.E., A MIX OF SEVERAL SONGS).

So I wonder if that has any impact on which auditions they show?
And I know I said this last year, but I really like that they encourage people to come back, and mean it.
Yeah, I was so pleased with the proud football coach dad. I think it's just awesome that he's supportive like that. And you know damn well he's going to help his son build up his strength, because that's something he can do. And he'll be a hell of a dancer when he does. Can you imagine a guy with that height able to get serious elevation on a jump? He'd own the stage.
I'm glad the African dance guy made it through and I wish they'd talked to him about the style.
I really liked the second blonde (not curly) sister. I thought her work was really expressive and much better than her sister's.
The jazz/tap brothers are also cute, but I agree that they may be limited by their style. I hope to see what they do in Vegas.
What's the format now? We have one more round of early auditions, and then how much time in Vegas? This is the first time I've watched the audition rounds.
