The prize is probably a couple of seconds more airtime than the loser. Which is still more than the eventual actual winner will have. It's a pretty transparent way for them to try to draw in or at least keep around viewers based on the two most recognizable faces from the show.

This is a very impersonal season. We spend way more time getting to know tWitch, Travis, and Jasooooon Deruuuuulo than any of the contestants. It feels like the dancers are all getting shoved into the background, and the trio and quartets don't help. There are too many video packages about SYTYCD-adjacent things…

Fuck this growth narrative bullshit. The producers take every opportunity to throw Asaf right under the bus every chance they get but Nigel as EP doesn't use last night's opportunity to send Asaf home. I know it ultimately doesn't matter because there's no way Asaf would realistically reach the end, but it's still…

Congrats to SYTYCD for ending racism! We did it everybody!

I really hope the flashbacks are much better. Season 2's were at least watchable, but pretty early on in Season 3 I defaulted back to my Season 1 habit of completely tuning out any time a flashback came on screen. I wish I cared at all about Maseo but everything that happened in the flashbacks was so boring.

Maybe I'm just being too hard on this season, but I don't think this is an especially strong pool compared to years past. The stage dancers are all technically proficient but don't really have a really strong, commanding stage presence. The street dancers have charisma by the bucket-load but aren't as technically…

Oliver, I always want to watch "Ramalama (Bang Bang)" again.

Anyway, the weird post-commercial segments with the team captain were so weird and forced and I did not like them at all. I definitely did not think the four person hip-hop number was standing ovation worthy. I enjoyed the one by Pharside and Phoenix more,…

I don't think we know a whole lot other than she was "released from her contract." My assumption is that (contrary to what Nigel claims) there will be a lot less ballroom on this season so there's not really any need for a permanent ballroom judge. I wonder if it is also cheaper to have both Paula and Jason hosting…

He actually meant in in the literal sense of the word. A lot of the contemporary dances feature the dancers reaching out with their arms out of desire or longing, either towards each other or just outward, and the dance can look goofy if you're actually reaching out to something with a smile on your face rather than…

RED + WHITE = PINK

(18 + 5 + 4) + (23 + 8 + 9 + 20 +5) = 92

"Pink" has four letters in it so divide 92 by 4.

92 / 4 = 23

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!

I think the reason they didn't do choreography rounds for auditions was so that they didn't end up with only 50 street dancers in vegas compared to the 150 stage dancers. They probably wanted the field to look even for TV purposes and knew they would be cutting a TON of people after the first round of choreo. …

I was glad last week had some interesting dancers, but we're right back to a huge snoozefest this week. They're still being super vague about the whole stage vs street conceit and instead are just stuffing video packages of Travis and Twitch down our throats. I really like both guys, but I'm sick of how hard they're…

NEVER FORGET CHEKOV'S LEGUME

So much this. Fuck that shit.

Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes and that Animal Crossing Party game as well.

My grandmother had a table that was the perfect height for me to use the Virtual Boy. I would sit on the floor and kinda lean forward on my elbows so that I could see into the visor with minimal discomfort. I played Mario Tennis for long hours and suffered through many headaches. I don't know why that was the only…

-Peter comes back and still gets cheerleaders to flash him on camera
-Liberty's child becomes an assassin out to kill JT's murderer
-Ashley and Craig start a drug cartel
-Hazel comes back just to say hi

Wheelchair Jimmy has risen rides again!

I used the Aerospray RG a lot in getting to level 20 because it racks up points like nobody's business. I also enjoy baiting people into walking over my mines. Lately, I've moved on to using the .96 Gal Deco, and I'm really enjoying the range and power on it. The Echolocator special is nice for it because it lets…

When something smells, it's usually the Butz…
