You know, I am really annoyed that Nigel sends good hip hoppers to choreography. I've seen much more marginal work from ballroom or salsa dancers (like the first salsa couple, where the guy was okay at best, but they got through). He assumes that hip hoppers don't have any training, but all other good dancers will be fine, particularly contemporary dancers.

and I LOVED football coach dad, and I loved that Travis realized how special it was.

Isn't SYTYCD on tonight? Did I miss it last night? Damn.

It's on two nights a week until they get to top 10, I think. You just missed auditions. I generally fast forward through most of it, watching the whole 2 hours in about 45 minutes :)

Was it on two nights last week?

just one last week.

Cool. Not that I really care that much about early auditions, but the completist in me wants to see it all.

I miss having a dvr.

I think it started on Thursday last week, which was why last night's show confused me.

And tonight I kind of want to watch the spelling bee...

Nigel has been talking up tonight's episode for days, Amy. you don't know "Sex", but he has auditioned at least 4 out of the 5 seasons and he's terrible. apparently tonight there is some kind of dance off between him and someone else. Nigel also claims this will be the last we see of "Sex" and when we see tonight's ep "we'll know why".

Sex is classic.

He lives with his mother, who has this very heavy new york accent. I remember her complaining that no one would recognize his talent. Clue much?

I caught the second hour of last night's SYTYCD (Memphis auditions) and saw the guy who called his dance style "electric" ... and then called Nigel rude (well, he is, but duh). And I remember the "name" "Sex" and that he was terrible, but the details have faded ... maybe just as well.
