This is of course the first time that the show has aired in the fall rather than the summer. They don’t know whether there will be a summer show next year or if they will stick with a fall schedule. Another change this year is that in order for the show to be over before Christmas, the show will have six finalists rather than four. I wish they had just combined two of the auditions instead of cutting a show off of the end but they didn't ask me.

Nigel Lythgow: "I know that in our finale we're going to be going with three couples -- six people, three boys and three girls," he explained. "I didn't want to start with a Top 18 or a Top 16. It doesn't make any sense to me. So I thought it would be fun to have six battle it out in the finale."

Six in the finale?

Let's see how it works.

I'm just glad that we are getting consecutive weeks (except over Thanksgiving, unless they tape it).

Heat

Third audition tonight. I missed the first two but I'm guessing that I didn't miss too much. I'll watch tonight's show though.

zuffy

God, Tyse (sp?) is a bitch. What's with the talking with the head movement?

Renee

He really was a huge drama queen tonight! Thankfully, he made up for the annoyance there during the 46-year-old's audition- his facial expressions made that segment worth watching!

For the first time in my life, I'm excited by Krump. That guy was the highlight of the episode, IMO and is the first contestant that I'm really excited to see move on.

Heat

The Boston audition was pretty good and I really appreciate that they are spending most of the show on the good dancers, not the bad ones.

That tall guy had some really good footwork, reminded me of that tall scrawny kid from the Road Trip movie a few years back. Other than him, the ones that really stand out are the blond 18 year old (the ice cream server) and the married salsa dancers.

Should be an interesting season!

Patman

Didn't really like the married couple, couldn't believe they got a ticket to Vegas (but I guess they didn't need the choreography section since they performed a dance together already).

Can't wait for the ATL auditions.

Goldberg74

Last night's ATL auditions were nothing spectacular.

Here's hoping the Big Easy delivers tonight... oh, and no Nigel!?

Instead we get Adam, Mary... and c!

Heat

Only one more audition round left, thankfully. I can't wait to get to the Vegas rounds.

Has anybody seen the Asian guy who danced for the Miami Ballet who was in last season - got cut only because the Miami ballet wouldn't let him out of his contract - come back? He may still be under contract I guess.

Gasspasser

I was thinking that too. But IIRC they said that he could go straight to Vegas next season when his contract was up.

Patman

Too bad ATL didn't step up to the plate with a lot of talent.

Septemberbaby

Did one of the female contestants let it all hang out last night?

Possibly NSFW

Flave

I did a double-take when I saw that scene and I went through it frame-by-frame on my PVR. Unfortunately, she was definitely wearing panties.

Septemberbaby

It's after 3 here on the east coast and I have to say: I'm SHOCKED that no one posted about this earlier.

If you click on the link in the link it takes you to a site that shows another picture.. very close up. And if she was wearing panties .. then I must be blind.

Flave

^^ Those are very blurry shots (and I'm sure they're blurry on purpose so they can keep the controversy going). You can only see shadows.

I stepped through it frame-by-frame in hidef and trust me, she has flesh-coloured panties on.

Goldberg74

The Big Easy is delivering!!!!

The one ballet kid (around 15 mins in) was a frickin' pogo-stick!

ChrisHicks

Does anyone know the name of the song/artist that was playing during the "Mary's Rules" segment?

Patman

Thank goodness the Big Easy brought their dance on.

Jadzia

I am really bored by the endless audition shows already. I wish the real competition would start.

TimeandTide

Anyone else annoyed by the cutaways to an applauding audience when it was obvious that the performer was dancing in a near-empty auditorium? The worst: Guy performs his routine, then we cut to raucous applause from audience...which includes THE GUY THAT JUST PERFORMED.

Either lazy editing or producers who think we're too dumb to notice.

Ranger

Yep. It's crazy that it won't start until late October.

Heat

The New Orleans auditions were really good, lots of good prospects. I suspect that Salt Lake City will be the same next Wednesday.

Next Thursday is the the first of three Vegas Auditions shows.

Patman

SLC is like the mecca of dance hopefuls, it will be epic!

Goldberg74

CAN'T WAIT!
