I Never Ever Thought I Could Dance

So You Think You Can Dance is back for a second season, and I must admit that I’m even more hooked this season than I was last season.  I swear I didn’t mean to watch, but oooooh, the delicious snark.  Ooooh, the bad dancing.  Ooooh, the vomiting during an audtion.  Ooooh, the Orthodox Jew who, while actually being a very good dancer, smashed his face into the floor during his audition.  And best of all, Lauren Sanchez has been replaced by Cat Deeley.  Lauren Sanchez seemed like a very nice person, but Cat Deeley is F-U-N, fun!  And cute.  Fun & cute.

Another SYTYCD second season bonus - someone has obviously made Ballroom Mary Murphy take speech lessons.  She’s still harsh to listen to, but she’s SO much easier on the ears this season.  Mia Michaels, whom I loathed at first last season, has grown on me, but I wish she was less sloppy.  She’s kind of cute in a hippy dippy modern dancer kind of way, but she’s so sloppy.  She’s overweight, but I don’t care about that, it’s the sloppiness that bugs me.  It makes her look kind of like she’d smell badly.  My nose is very sensitive, even if it means imagining that someone on tv is stinky.

One thing I don’t like about this season is that the judges seem meaner.  There’s no reason to rip apart the nice people.  So their dancing isn’t good enough to get them on the show, that doesn’t mean their dreams need to be destroyed.  There are enough jerks auditioning, so they can direct their nastiness at them, not the innocent dork who just loves to dance.  Oh well, soon enough the auditions will be over and the competition will start.  The bad dancers will be gone and we’ll be able to snark on bad attitudes.  Yay!

I LOVED Sophia Wang…and they were just totally mean to her.  Watch Sophia and tell me that you love her too.

1. Ok, I didn’t expect to CRY when I watched that.  God.  I felt for her. 

   You know what? All of these judges are just trying to be like Simon Cowell with their nastiness and they’re failing miserably.  I hate unoriginal people and that asshole judge is totally unoriginal.  That was just uncalled for. 

   STAY STRONG SOPHIA!

2. The judges do seem unusually harsh this season—last season they were a lot more subdued and polite.  It especially bothers me when they insult people who are “dance teachers”, because the dance teachers could be working with three year olds for all they know.  I could pull anyone off the street and I’m sure they’d be qualified to teach dancing to three year olds (convicted sex offenders need not apply).

3. I loved Sophia.  My favorite part is before she dances when she’s naming her favorite moves.  I “like this move and that move and this move…” She’s adorable and the judges were awful
