We’ve seen our Top 11 make their way through auditions and the Vegas callbacks to make it to the So You Think You Can Dance stage. Last week we got one more chance to see the dancers at their best, as each performed in their best style with members of the All-Stars. Now the hard [...]

It’s night 4 of the auditions and America’s Got Talent (AGT) is still in New York City.  I believe this second day in New York was originally supposed to air last Wednesday, but the Stanley Cup Finals were still under way as the Chicago Blackhawks clinched the title that night.  Rigelseven here, and we’re back [...]

The Next Food Network Star is back, and back to one-hour formats so it should be a little easier on everyone this week. Last week we met all 12 of this season’s contestants as they faced off in a team challenge. Aria was an early favorite, Dizzy D was allowed to continue in the competition [...]

So last night the Top 11 were set, with Billy Bell getting the special ‘11th’ spot because there were just too many good dancers to reduce it to a Top 10. I personally would have given that final spot to Anthony Burrell, but I’m not the one making the choices. Tonight, it’s a Showcase, as [...]

Season 7 auditions blew past us, and Vegas week took us down from 122 contestants to just 24. Now those 24 have gone back home, and the judges, instead of calling them all back to Vegas as they normally would have done… will instead be going out to their homes to visit the contestants and [...]

Season 7 auditions blew past us almost faster than we could track. Thanks in part to the paucity of talent in Nashville we got our first look at Vegas week last week as the dancers were cut down from 122 to just 58. This week the cuts will come deeper as people we’ve grown attached [...]

It’s night 3 of the auditions and America’s Got Talent (AGT) is in New York City.  Remember, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere (or at least Las Vegas)!  Rigelseven here, back for another round of auditions.  As before, I’m focusing on the acts that advanced to Las Vegas, not the [...]

The Next Food Network Star is back, as 12 contestants compete to win a contract with the Food Network for their own show. The contract generally runs eight shows, which gives the Food Network brass enough time to figure out if the person really fits in with the Food Network’s style and will draw an [...]

The second stop on So You Think You Can Dance tonight is Nashville, the final audition city and last chance to qualify for the show before those dancers that make the cut move on to Vegas. No fooling around for us now, let’s go right to the auditions. Our judges for Nashville are Nigel Lythgoe, [...]

Tonight the So You Think You Can Dance auditions hit Dallas and Nashville and we’ll get at least a starting look at the Vegas finals.  It’s a whirlwind audition tour and then the cutting begins as the producers and judges work their way from the 122 dancers who made it to Las Vegas to the [...]

It’s night 2 of the auditions and America’s Got Talent (AGT) is in Dallas, TX.  Rigelseven here, back for another evening of the weird and wonderful.  Yesterday’s show was more fun than I thought it would be, let’s see what tonight brought.  As before, I’m focusing on the acts that advanced to Las Vegas, so [...]

It’s been three years since SYTYCD went to Chicago for their auditions, but this year the tour hits the Second City to see what the dancers there will bring to the table.
Chicago – Day One
Joining Nigel and Adam this week is contemporary choreographer Stacey Tookey. If Sonia is a slightly odder Mia Michaels with cooler [...]
