"Format Change...again"
I am shocked to read about the format change: http://www.realitytvworld.com/news/mia-michaels-so-you-think-you-can-dance-format-changes-win-win-11030.php

Let's see how it unfolds tonight, but it really, really changes the show. Sounds like they are trying to take a page out of Dancing with the Stars by pairing the "pro" with the "newbie". Well, maybe not always "pro", but at least someone more "seasoned". Hmmmm...not sure how I feel about this.

Throw in your comments as it unfolds tonight! I have no idea how it will go but I am a tad skeptical.

I will sit with you in the 'skeptical' section. Sounds like an opportunity for Nigel to get more work for his entourage.

I fear that all the focus will be on the returning 'star' than the finalist.

2. "RE: Format Change...again"
Yeah, that is my worry too. Don't get me wrong, I am really excited to see the "returning" stars...but hey, they already had their chance and now they are taking away TEN spots from aspiring new dancers who have NOT had their chance for their 15 mintues of fame. I don't think it is fair to the newbies. I want to see lots of new talent..not just ten. How do we then whittle it down to top ten if everyone is already there? How do we "discover" the diamonds in the rough that start to shine after week 5? ARGGH...I just don't know...

Yup, still very skeptical...

I think this might be a very good change in light of the fact that, in the past, some of the very good dancers have been paired with the not-so-good dancers (if there is such a thing on this program). That has to have been a factor in the elimination of many super talented people.

On one hand, I'm excited to see a few of the stars again (only a few of them). On the other hand, TEN contestants? That's all we get?

From what I have seen so far, maybe there wasn't a top "20". I know they don't show everything, but I haven't been very impressed.

Also, just think if the "all stars" go on tour with them - even just a few! $$ Ticket Sales $$

Let the stars have their own competition show.

I prefer seeing 20 NEW dancers. I enjoy watching them come into their own over the course of a show, and by reducing the finalists in half, the producers don't give us as much time to get to know the contestants.

Will this format change shorten the season? Instead of 10 weeks, we get 5? Maybe I'm not understanding.


Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

Still 10 weeks.

They will eliminate one per week, not two like they did before.

10. "RE: Format Change...again"
I do not like the new format. I much prefer getting to know new dancers. The previous competitors had their chance, and I enjoyed them then. This is now.

I want to know that everyone on stage wants the America's Favorite Dancer title. I don't want to have to focus on faces to figure out which are new and which are seasoned to the show. I find that way too distracting.

If the producers want to showcase earlier dancers, fine - but do so in a weekly number. Mix the new with the old in that way. The process wasn't broken - why did they think they had to fix it?

Hmph.

I'm mixed on the alums coming in like with DWTS. My primary complaint is the same as yours. It was often hard to figure out who was who.

I'm loving this new format. Can you imagine the advice these contestants are getting?!? That's got to be so beneficial and invaluable to these dancers - especially when they are dancing out of their own style (i.e. Jose and Cristina). I think we will see even MORE growth from these guys than ever before.

It will be hard to concentrate on the newbies. Thank goodness for the DVR.

Still a bit torn, but I also do think it really ups the newbie's game...as they have to really keep it up to "hold their own" beside the "allstar". But, when Mark comes on...I am still drawn to him!

The camera never did find the first couple of dancers at the very beginning of the show on performance night.

Apparently, they even have tech and dress rehersals. Too bad they go to the shooter bar before the show.
