HOORAH, so you think you can dance is back! And they've gone back to having a top 20, BUT are also including all-stars once the group is narrowed down to the top 10. I APPROVE OF THIS PLAN. I LOVED getting to see more of Kathryn and Ade and to see how much their dancing had grown in so short a time. If this year's all-stars are half as good as

I'm glad you enjoyed the s7 cast/season - i did enjoy a number of the routines. I didn't really have any favorites from vegas or the auditions, but Ashley became my horse in the race - and then she had to drop out and I tentitevly gave my quasi-support to Robert, but the judges were right whenever they said he needed to become more controlled in his movements and less gaingly and flaily (which was often). Billy disappointed me last season. I think that they had spent so much time building him up that when he didn't really deliver (at least in my mind) I just couldn't get on board with him - though he did have a few great dances (Mad World comes to mind). Kent bugged me from the start and I just thought he looked ridiculously young in most of his partner dances when he was supposed to look mature and masculine. I'm not discounting his talent at all - he clearly was - he just did not connect with me at all. LoFro was never really on my radar but she always did well and I was happy it was her who ended up taking it.

BUT YAY THIS SEASON SO FAR SO GOOD (though I'm bumbed 3 of the people I noticed in vegas were cut in the first round - SOB PATTY ANNE AND HIRO I DON'T CARE YOU CAN'T DO HIP HOP CHOREO YOU ARE FABULOUS)

PS. YOUR ICON. I've been on a full-on WW binge for the past few weeks and am now in the home stretch. HOW DID I NEVER WATCH THIS SHOW BEFORE? WHAT WAS I DOING WITH MY LIFE???

I think for me re: Billy was that, objectively, yes, he didn't live up to expectations but I had fallen in love with him so much and was so excited for him to be back, that I put blinders on regarding him and wanted him to the best there ever was. But I still loved that trip + Robert and enjoyed the season. Though I'm already liking this one more. Plus I love the set-up of Top 20 and then bringing in the All-Stars once you get to the Top 10.

Oh man, all my favourites made it into the Top 20 this year so I am excited!

AAAHHHHH DARLING. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU. YOU ARE REALIZING WHAT IS TRULY GLORIOUS, GLORIOUS TELEVISION. Seriously, it is without a doubt in my top five. How are you enjoying it so far? WE SHOULD TALK MORE.
