"Best show on television"
Just had to put in here that as a reality t.v. fan since the summer when they were casting for the first season of Survivor, I've actually been totally won over by this show. I've watched the last two summers, and although it's the same format as Idol,it is just SO SUPERIOR its not even worth a comparison.

First, the contestants on this show seem to really care, and be really sincere. I don't know why the singing contestants don't come off that way, but it is incredibly refreshing to watch kids who want to learn and to be better.

Second, kudos to the editors. When we see bad dancers on this show, it's the exception and not the rule that we get attitude. I love it when you see a kid who was arrogant going in, but recognizes during the audition that they didn't make it, and they are okay with that. Idol is filled with the horrible and yet still cocky; this show is filled with the okay, yet willing to take criticism. Most refreshing.

Third, I LOVE the way the kids who are naturally great, but don't have training, get to audition, and some get to go forward; but that the ones who don't, want to go home and learn! It's awesome!

I love this show! I can't wait to see who makes the finals. All the kids profiled deserve it, and I can't wait to see how the ones who make it progress through the season. This is the only show that makes me cry or get teary with emotion on a regular basis, it's the only show that I really care about the people contending, and that's why I say it's the best show on t.v. Who is this editor, and why aren't they using him/her on American Idol or Top Chef? Why don't most of the people producing these shows realize that we'd rather see the best rise to the top than the drama?

That said, can't wait to see what happens tomorrow night~!

1. "RE: Best show on television"
It does seem hard to believe it is from the same people that produce Idol.

I do think the fact that mediocre dancers rarely become insanely rich and famous because they have a good stylist that makes them look really cute and there is enough studio magic to make them seem much better than they are does seem to change the attitudes of the people auditioning.

It does seem that the dance community has a different culture to it and I think that does effect what the people who audition are like. I like how they cheer for each other during auditions and really seem to appreciate both seeing someone who does a particularly interesting move and those that just have an infectious joy about their dancing.

I don't know how much is editing vs how much is the type of people who show up, but you would think Idol could focus on people more like this and get a different population of contestants.

I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Once I started watching this show, it spoiled me for the other reality shows. There is a sense of camaraderie and unified sense of purpose. Other than that, ditto to what has been already said.

I made that exact comment on last night's ECUT - I love, love, love the genuine support we seem to see amoungst the contestants. It really seperates this show from all the others.

For me one of the places the camaraderie shows up is in the group performances.

I often go back and watch these in the results show for SYTYCD both on the DVR and on YouTube. Now it is true some of the choreography is just amazing, but it is clear they all do their best as a group to really have the number work.

I never want to see any America Idol group number again. Most of the time I didn't want to see it on the first go round. The songs are often good, but there seems that they'd rather do anything other than perform with one another which makes it just painful to watch.

Is there a link for the Ramalama group number done a couple years ago? Still love that thing.

ETA: Never mind. Found it.

The Ramalama number is one of my top 3 faves - I have almost universally LOVED Wade Robsons' routines. I'm already depressed that Shane Sparks won't be a part of this season, does anyone know if Wade Robson will be?

I've heard that we lost both Shane and Wade this season. And that? hurts.

Wade too?? Carp!!!!
I wonder if he's miffed because of all the noise about his "peace" dance last year.

I haven't been able to find anything to confirm that though so we can still hope that those people are wrong.

Says that Wade is doing at least one of the group numbers.

They just might not be doing regular weekly choreography.

I hope neither of them are fully gone.

I hope she's right. (I'd feel better about it if I trusted her more.)

Apparently he'll be doing at least one group number as well

I'm hope so. I can see some people not having time to do a weekly thing for most of the season, but it is great if some of them can at least do some group numbers during the season.

I completely agree with all the statements made above. I LOVE this show. I loved last week when Nigel told off the Guy/girl who made a fool of himself. Because these judges are serious, these contestants are serious. I too love the comradarie, the feeling of family, community. I just love this show. I love how they edit it showing us more of the best and less of the worst. I love how contestants not only come back (like in idol) but actually TRAIN and make themselves BETTER for the next year (unlike idol).

I wish this show could have a winter edition as well.

Agree 100%! The best thing about American Idol is that when it finishes, SYTYCD starts again!
