Not that the world needed yet another fan blog about a TV show, but after a very interesting Season 7, I felt more convinced than ever that this show would benefit from having a judge on its panel each week who is merely a fan - not a choreographer, producer, or Hollywood bigwig. The Judges (capital "J" when referring to The Main Trio) might find themselves a bit more in tune with the audience if they actually ever bothered to ask why the audience votes the way it does. So, to be purely self-serving and egomaniacal, I have appointed myself "the SYTYCD Fan Judge" (until such time as the show appoints one), and with that, here is yet another fan blog about a TV show...

OH, and:

I would be remiss if I didn't comment on the judging and competition format for the season. I'm happy to report that the old "rotating judge" approach is returning, so that we can expect to see maximum Nigel and Mary (and minimal Mia), while also getting a chance to hear from some of the choreographers and other guest judges. As for the contestants, I'm also thrilled that they've opted to go with a hybrid of last season and previous years. We're back to a Top 20 (which I think is only fair, considering how incredible the talent pool is), but once they've been whittled down to a Top 10, then we'll see the All-Stars return as partners each week. That seems to me to be the best of both worlds, and I look forward to seeing it in action. Thanks again, producers!
