Everybody talks about the characters but what stood out for me was the art that went into the feel of the show - the music and scenery were totally compelling and contributed hugely to my enjoyment. I thought they diid a good job of role calling the whole ending whether it is the end or not. I'm so very sorry this show has not received the support it deserved.

Y'know Cop shows are not my area of expertise (I can't watch costume shows) so I just enjoy the hell out of watching a good one. I really like the protagonist (and many of the ensemble) so much in this, that it'll take a lot to budge me (although I AM budge-able - Nathan Fillion, I'm giving you the side eye). So I just wanted to pop into here and say, wow that was such a fun show! I enjoyed every minute.

Can't really remember anything about the show because traumatized by the cold clear lights on Richard Kind's pencilled-in eyebrows and super-black dyed hair against his palpably old white skin. Who was doing lighting? Who approved that shot?

That tango was amazing.

Lise and Vincent did seem more professional than many of the American contestants usually are. True of a lot of people on that season of SYTYCD Cda. It was a different show.
I keep thinking back to some of the early fun in this show - real picking out of a hat and judges who said critical things and much less packaging on contestants and less pretense that the show is about the judges. It was somewhat more authentic/organic and that made it more magical.

I love this style of African Jazz, more Ailey and contemporary. It can get cringey. I think I remember this is Sean Cheesman too. He did some awesome stuff on SYTYCD Canada.

Essence has a stronger camera presence than COMFORT? Well, this should be an interesting show to watch, looking for that.
I think Comfort chooses her level and Essence is on. But Comfort melts the camera here and when the dubstep hits, OMFG:

Well, she thinks she's inventing something that happened on Season 1 of the show with Allan who was a much better dancer than Beau and I would say, bigger. Tedious.

I'm in the middle of watching the epi and came here to comment that the judging on the Essence-Keaton-Alexis number from JoJo seemed like a direct battle response to Twitch's take-down of Beau the dance earlier.
And other than that, so far I'm enjoying the dances. There is no tension to this format. Beau shouldn't have made it into the top 20, I don't care what JoJo thinks.

I would have preferred to send both guys home and keep the women even though I know that's not the rules.
And, at this point, why? It's not like there is the same adulated shipping going on that occurred when they kept the top twenty in somewhat strict couples for the top ten (which I enjoyed, and miss) and it's not like adulated shipping couldn't happen irregardless. I mean, they've done what they can to sap this show of anything worth watching -- I feel badly for the contestants.
Big Judge outfits are stupid.
Carter's pants were the most egregious costume flop I've seen on this show in all of its seasons. Good god.

Here is Jess interviewing Comfort about it in 2020:

Jessica was Will Wingfield's partner. I felt their brilliance was overlooked a lot of the time. He was so amazing. She was very very good and that was rarely acknowledged.
They mostly got crapped on for this number, for example, which was all kinds of amazeballs at the time, 2008? (it always struck me there was something dance-political about that diss). Unfortunately, there isn't a very clear copy of it up on youtube - starts at 2.28 after the mini pkge and the choreo (TWO MINUTES+ show, jus'sayin'):
Anyhow, Comfort was booted top 10 and then replaced Jess immediately when Jess had an injury. It was great for Comfort. She went from demonstrable strength to demonstrable strength in the last 10.

I'm there for Comfort any time she shows. Look at how far back she goes and look at how amazing she has become. I think it's so cool that they still want her when they almost tanked her. Still sorry for Jessica King though.
I like Lex too. The rest were fairly non memorable to me.

Okay I've calmed down a bit now. That was a pretty good show. Thiago is unlikely to have been removed so fast in a bigger cast - it is pretty weird that he is out before Carter, Waverly or Beau I think. I liked the dance alright, but more emotive music might have helped, as it did for...
Beau is being given gifts a bit. He didn't get Bollywood or African Jazz (Yay! Sean Cheesman!)j He did a good job, but....
Waverly needs to do something to connect. It doesn't help that yet again they aren't really lighting him well enough and the stupid distances they are sometimes getting away from dancers. I want to see how he's reacting to hte music and I just don't.

I'm becoming convinced that the showrunners are friggin idiots. Okay they have less money, so why spend it on clown cosrumes for the judges? Also, in the dance prep let's see some reality not this scripted bs every other reality show does ('we're going to have to brin our sexy") - those are the great moments. And more of the choreographers. I didn't realize that was Jonathan Platero in the teaching section because we saw so very little of him that who had time to recognize him? And WHY on god's green earth do I need to see a camera shot swoop from the freaking studio ceiling when I'm trying to watch dance?

Just starting in to watch this week and gotta drop by here to say: WOW Cat Deeley! What an entrance, what an amazingly well-structured and fitted dress! She is just lovely in all kinds of ways.

For the Canadians in the group, Beau is the spitting image of Sean Cullen, right down to body type and dancing ability. I think Sean is a trifle more handsome in his older years now, but otherwise... Sean is a comedian, radio host, broadway guy, tv special guy. I couldn't find a pic that wasn't too much of a headshot to demonstrate the similarities.

Or how about eliminations every other show with the bottom 4 shown each time and votes kept for both shows (I know there's a word for that, but my brain refuses to divulge it)? It's a teensy little show now, they could do it and it would be way more fair.

Wow that's a short show. They kept all the dancers because it's the third show or because they need to use up time between commercials next week?
I don't agree with ditching dancers on the first show anyhow - that's why the getting to know you rounds when they danced in their own styles were so good.
So they're keeping these couples together for a while eh? I like that they get a chance to build a bit of a working relationship.
Leah didn't really add anything, but she wasn't awful. I wish she would stay on the side of toned down and lady judge-like most of the time.
I agreed with the bottom 4. Amazeballs.
Keaton reminds me of Kameron Bink somehow.
As soon as you knew which person was staying out of the first two presented, then you could pretty much figure out who their partner would be in the next couple just by lining them up physically.
How is the show going to keep enough sponsors without using calling numbers?

I've only watched one dance, but I appreciated how long it was. Also Luther Brown YAY. Didn't think they were all that.

So long as she avoids developing schtick(please listen JoJo), Remini is capable of being a talking head that I will listen to. It's highly disappointing that they couldn't find someone more dance educated though.

One day of choreo with one choreographer and only 12 contestants in the live shows? Budget has taken a pretty big hit which was obvious by the one city, 42 cast auditions but this is dire. Come to think of it, $$ might have something to do with Nigel stepping down too. I wonder if the judges get paid the same as each other.

I'm not a professional about this in any way, but I know some things about sex addiction and coaddicts tend to have a type (sex addicts), so this may explain people's instinctive reactions to Gleb and his peccadilloes:
"While she [Jana] was separated from now ex-husband Mike Caussin as he sought treatment for sex addiction at the time,[Gleb] Savchenko was married to Elena Samodanova."
It's my understanding that if you've spent time bundled with sex addicts and their partners, that above statement is just like saying 95% chance Gleb is a sex addict just based on that alone.

I strongly suspect this is a face-saving story. He never came across as cool in a dance way or knowledgeable - esp against JoJo's teen hollering and Twitch's coolness, cred and empathy. I suspect they turfed him because he wasn't enough. I feel badly for him as he seemed to be trying to give good advice and not to make it all about him. I'm glad they made up a story to cover it because he doesn't deserve to be tarred by the show. I really hope their next choice is more watch-able

S32.E01 Premiere
in Dancing With The Stars
· Edited by crowceilidh
I thought the whole show seemed a little shaky, but I enjoyed the HELL out of Tyra being gone. TBF the show's producers made quite a number of other eff-ups in that time period, but she made me stop watching the show.
Alfonso continually calling out to Tom by saying "Live" in a strange manner might get old. He needs to be himself.
Julianne was meh (as per usual, my opinion, ever since Apolo) and I would like it if she stumbled over her lines a lot less.
