SYTYCD - WWYT?

as in, "so you think you can dance - what were you thinking???"

you cut some of the best dancers you had auditioning! we watched last night and were shocked at the people they cut, and kept. it was like, "hey, you're so good and can clearly learn and perform well with any genre, but you're not blowing me away .... see ya, you're cut." meanwhile, "hey, you're not that great of a dancer, but you completely shocked me just now! i had no idea you could learn how to do (insert dance genre), so even though it wasn't actually very good, we're going to keep you because i just didn't have high expectations. welcome to the top 20!"

i.e:tony bellisimo - what the crap? sure, he can entertain, i'll definitely give him that. and it's no surprise to me that he made it as far as he did (except the top 20) on his performance ability. and the guy can clearly learn choreography. but to keep him over any of the following????
ryan kasprzak (right). you kept the wrong kasprzak, people!!! you said, to RYAN, that he should be proud of his choreography because it's what got his little brother in the top 20. ryan got him there, but that aside, ryan is the better dancer!!! and much cuter. take off that cap, ryan, bald is beautiful!!! your brother should take a note and shave his head. and i get so distracted by evan's lazy eyes.natalie reid!!?? what were you thinking????????? this was just infuriating. if you didn't see this, she was in choreography and was killing it. so much so, that choreographer sonya had natalie and brandon (made top 20 by the skin of his teeth, it seems ... he completely needed to be there, the guy is amazing) so she was so impressed with these 2 that she had them show the class how it was done. they were incredible!!! what happens when she performs in her audition? the judges were unimpressed with her because they had crazy high expectations or something. why is it if you are amazing, you get cut because of it??? makes absolutely no sense. sorry, nat, you were one of my very top picks!!!and what about amanda kerby? she was also a fabulous dancer. but poor amanda got the axe. not sure why .... was it the quota? were there too many contemporary females that they simply got cut to make room for other genres? this gets a big, fat L.A.M.E from me. i really would have loved to see her in the top 20. sorry, amanda.

good thing they kept this girl, or i may have had to stop watching all together:forgive both "gymnast" pictures - all i could find. caitlin kinney is my very favorite this year. even since her audition, i have loved this chick. she is an unbelievably beautiful dancer. she is so fluid, graceful, and performs with so much ease. a dream to watch. go caitlin!!!

and here is her audition clip - i also love the song she chose. please watch.

I don't think I even knew this show was on! Tom is addicted to "How It's Made" shows - we watched like four hours last night (well, he watched. I read and played Suduko).
