Tonight was So You Think You Can Dance's first live results show for Season 6.

We got to see the top 16 perform a group dance and then it was down to the nitty-gritty of who had the most votes and who had the least.  From the very beginning, the judges were in a cantankerous mood.  They made no effort at all to hide the fact that they believed that America had gotten it wrong.  America had not voted for…

Nigel Lythgoe, Chief Executive Producer and Permanent Judge of So You Think You Can Dance, never tries to hide his feelings.

When dismissing someone from the show that he believes hasn't risen to the challenge of the competition the same way the other competitors have, he's compassionate.  He offers advice.  He tries to help them understand what kind of dancer they are and why they're being let go.  But when he's out-voted, he's short and dismissive, as if the act of removing…

Instead of reviewing what I consider "the first real" episode of Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance, I would like to dedicate this time and space to encouraging everyone who's not watching this show to give it a try.  I've been watching this show since its second season and, all hyperbole aside, this season really promises to be the best season yet.

I say this as someone who's never seen a full episode of American Idol, Survivor, Fear…

In a move that made me gasp, the judges dismissed Phillip from the competition. While he may have struggled with some of the dances, he's been a fan favorite from the beginning! I knew Caitlin was going home, but I thought Phillip would be with us for at least another round. Perhaps this is the judges doing their best to keep this from becoming a popularity contest, but I thought Jason deserved to go home far more than Phillip…

I've been rooting for Jason and Caitlin ever since their Bollywood dance.  When they wound up in the Bottom Three, I thought America was crazy.  But last week's Alien Impregnationdance made me realize something:  I still like them because of their first dance.  When "Jai Ho" started and they nailed their Bollywood, I thought, "wow, they're going to be a force to be reckoned with."  And every week, when they take the stage, my mind instantly goes back to "Jai…

I really thought the title of this article was going to be "Foiled By Costume Design!" and would detail how Caitlin's alien impregnation dance was ruined by a silly and almost embarassing costuming creation.  Because as much as I enjoyed the dance, and thought it was truly creative and unique, Caitlin's costume distracted me from her dance.  I really thought last night was going to be her last dance.  I'm glad it wasn't, but I thought it was.

See the silliness? Now…

Before I say anything else, I just have to say, I never get tired of the phrase, "dance for your life!"  It makes me think of The Three Amgios for some reason.  I can only imagine El Guapo saying it to Steve Martin and Martin Short and having them burst into, My Little Butter Cup.  I laugh out loud every time I hear it.

This week was one of disappointment.  First, my DVR decided not to record the first 15 minutes…

This week’s results confirmed a suspicion I’ve long had about So You Think You Can Dance.

Why I envy my deaf aunt

I’m a big fan of the show but know nothing about actual dance.  I just know what I like when I see it.  That crazy crash test dummy dance?  Loved it.  Twitch and Kherington’s mattress dance from last season?  Loved it.  The nerd dance?  Loved it.  Every single tango, pasodoble, and Bollywood dance I’ve seen?  Looooved them.  But before this…

So You Think You Can Dance judge Nigel Lythgoe got into hot water with GLAAD (Gay/Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) for what the organization perceives as promoting homophobia. Here's what Lythgoe said to a male dance team that consisted of a straight man and a gay man. "I think you probably alienate a lot of our audience. I mean, we’ve always had the guys dance together on the show, but I’ve — they’ve never really done it in each other’s…
