Wow, that is CRAZY about Shankman and his late entry to dance! I'm so jealous. And...Step up *3D*?!!? Seriously? As in...wearing glasses so that the dancers POP OUT AT ME? Omg, the ultimate in cheese! I can't wait.

Also can't wait to get home and watch tonight, but am LIVING IN FEAR that the digital TV transition is going to rob me of the ability to use my TiVo, and cause me to miss half the dancing this year. EEEK!

So far, I think Cat's dress is sort of horribly awesome.

I love Kat Deely! "I've got new babies!" And her dress isn't as hideous as I thought it would be. Awwww I want to her her say jidges.

And speaking of Shankman - our first judge!

I think that the dress is really ugly. And it makes her look pregnant. Is she?

It's not as hideously ugly because at first I thought the whole thing was a spider web.

They changed the order of the judges normally it's Guest, Mary, Nigel.

And that was really great routine and she did really well.

Okay, for newbies, did one choreographer do all these routines? Did Adam do them? How does this work?

Each routine is choreographed by a different choreographer, there are several regulars. Sometimes someone is judging one week, and choregraphing the next.

All the routines are done by a different choreographer.

The first routine was done by Napoleon and Tabitha aka NappyTab and then it was.. Adam I guess the next.

Also it's different styles including all kinds of ballroom. Its one of the things that makes the show so cool. Seeing dancers go totally outside of their style and comfort zone.

no, the second was Tyce D'Orio

Kat, I think that she just said that there was a bollywood routine to come!

Jonathan started dancing because of SYTYCD! that's really cool.

Ohh there was a little bobble but over all really good and sexy.
