Then the American one started to change it's ways, cutting hours off shows, changing to a new stage and introducing All Stars (old contestants) up onto the stage. Granted it was nice to see them but I would much rather have bonds made between the actual contestants.
This year the Canadian edition was cancelled after it had only completed four seasons, and granted I didn't particularly like the host all that much, but it was CANADIAN and I was patriotic but I thought I still had the American one to watch because I love dance. But they are screwing it up for me.
The auditions used to mean a lot more to me. Now they show only a few good performaces from each city and never any bad ones (not meaning I miss that particularly) then we don't get to know a lot of the later contestants in the early stages. At the Las Vegas round they completed it in a two hour episode which has at LEAST 9 different dance routines that we could be watching and they cut so quickly by it all. Not once did we get to see a whole routine. Especially the group round where it is the own contestants originality and thought put into the piece and I love that round and they blew right past it.
NOW I've learned that there is not only going to be a winner, there will be a boy AND a girl winner when it is sufficient enough to have a runner up and remember one winner from each year. ALSO I have found out that they are cutting the results show ENTIRELY which is not only nuts but is suicidal in all respects because how else do you know who gets voted off until the next week show? Does the audience still get to vote or is it all up to the judges because that is just STUPID this is America's favourite dancer not Nigel and Mary and the guest judges favourites. Where is the drama without the results show and where is the group number that I look forward to every Thursday at the beginning of the results show. I love that group routine and I would not care for it if it was pushed into the Wednesday show because before I had two nights of dance.
Also if there is no results show, how will we see each and individuals own style when the bottom couples have to dance for their lives, what, put that in the Wednesday show as well. NO That willl make the show too long for anyone to watch.
Now all of this is because of declining ratings over the years because younger shows airing at similar times are taking up the spotlight. For me, if you are a devoted fan like myself, you will watch it even though there is that other stuff and the way the show is going about these things, is in the wrong direction.
Even though I am devoted, if they keep on making these changes, I am certain that they will lose many long time fans and I have considered it myself (and would probably have if the Canadian one was still running). All this to regain ratings when they are just digging their own grave.
You can see that I am really angry, mad, upset, and just PO about all the changes, and I don't swear but if I did there would be so many to explain my frustration with the show. Also if I could complain to the actual show itself, I would, but who would listen to one person really. So I am writing it here and hopefully at least one other person who has been a devoted fan like me for the past other 8 seasons will read this and agree to at least some degree.
STOP CHANGING SYTYCD, YOU"LL REGRET IT LATER.
New contestants, new routines, same judges, same host and same format, that's how it always should be.
