I know someone on youtube who is posting all the shows, but he's trying to be, um, covert so they don't get pulled. His account has been suspended before. We don't have cable so it's the only way we can watch it.

I won't tell who he is, and you can't easily search for it since he leaves off tags. We were very lucky to find him. Just start digging, there is SYTYCD on youtube.
Can we make this a discussion thread about
SYTYCD:Can? The top 20 results were TERRIBLE! The judges didn't even give any reason for cutting whatsername, just shrugged their shoulders like it wasn't THEIR doing.
The finals episodes were also really badly edited. We had name-after-name-after-name with face shots of folks getting the news, but we wanted to see them DANCING. There's a B-boy who was featured throughout the auditions and the first final rounds, Paul Kus I think... many interviews, focussing on how he's doing, etc etc. Then he gets cut just like that, with just a "this was the end for Paul Kus" as part of a montage of folks getting cut. WTH? How about showing us how he danced in that round at least? So we have SOME understanding of why he was cut? You don't just focus on someone all along then just whisk them away like that. >
We also didn't get to see enough of that zen-dude from Montreal through the finals. When it came time for the top 20, I realized I had absolutely NO IDEA whether he was actually any good at doing other styles and choreography. In fact... I was clueless about almost everyone in the top 20. We had a home-town boy in the running all the way up to the top 20 runoff, and he was cut -- but we really couldn't tell why, we hadn't seen him do any of the choreography!
And the judging is just terrible... love fests and 'you guys are the greatest dancers EVER'.. how about some critiques on technique? That's what the dancers would love to get, in fact. Don't just shrug your shoulders with no comment...
Here's hoping the quality of the show improves to what the dancers deserve.
