So You Think You Can Dance: Season 7!

Season 7 of my favorite reality show is about to kick off! Check out this great fanmade montage to highlight the All-Stars:

If you're wondering about the All-Stars, well this season has a lot of changes in store. Instead of the usual top 20 contestants who partner up and tackle the show together, Nigel and co. decided to bring back 12 of the top contestants from seasons past to partner with the Top 10 this year. Keep reading to find out all the changes this season:

• Mary Murphy will no longer be a permanent judge. She's going to be doing choreography and will guest judge a few weeks. 
• Mia Michaels is back! She'll be the new permanent judge but will also choreograph a few routines. My guess is the weeks she choreographs will be the weeks Mary guest judges so she's not judging her own material. 
• Instead of Top 20, there's only a Top 10. This makes it harder than ever to get on the show, so it will definitely be the cream of the crop. I only hope some street/hip hop dancers can make it through. 
• Each week the Top 10 will pick their dance style/all star, therefore there will be no more consistent pairings. This could be good for those that might have been stuck with a bad pairing, but I think it will definitely hurt the chemistry, especially during the more emotional routines. 
• This year they went to the top potential contestants home to to tell them whether they made it to the Top 10 or not. Talk about an emotional punch! 

While all these changes aren't going to change what I love most about the show - the dancing - I am worried that it'll change the show too much from the one I fell in love with. My main concern is the reduction to just the Top 10. If there had only been 10 contestants for the previous seasons, my favorite dancers, and some of the eventual winners, would never have made it on to the show. Twitch, Josh, Legacy were all bubble decisions. I feel like this will hurt the hip hop community the most, since they are often the ones with the least training. If the top 10 is all contemporary/jazz, it will make for some very boring solos. I hope Nigel has already thought of some way to combat this, because I desperately want to love this new season. 

2010 Fall TV Schedule

Now that the Upfronts are complete, The Wrap posted a great graphic breaking down the fall TV schedule:

For some reason, it doesn't include The CW's schedule. I guess they aren't even acknowledging its existence anymore. You can check out The CW's schedule HERE.

Keep reading to see how my weekly tv schedule might look. Inevitably, some shows will fall to the wayside, but this is my starting off point. Let me just say, thank goodness for DVR and hulu. The new shows I'll be giving a shot are underlined.

Mondays
8:00pm: How I Met Your Mother, Chuck

Tuesdays
8:00pm: Glee, No Ordinary Family
9:30pm: Running Wilde

Wednesdays
8:00pm: America's Next Top Model, Undercovers
9:00pm: Modern Family
9:30pm: Cougar Town

What new shows will you be checking out? Is your Thursday night just as packed as mine? A lot of new shows that I'm interested in aren't coming out until midseason (Friends with Benefits, Perfect Couples, etc), so I'll definitely have to find a way to adjust once it hits January.

Music Monday: Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy

Chuck: 2 Hour Season Finale Tonight!

Check out the exciting preview for tonight's season finale!


It's so nice to know that this isn't the end of the show! It's coming back next season for 13 episodes, and there's still a possibility for more.

Be sure you tune in tonight to NBC at 8pm EST/PST.

The Morning After Lost

Last night was the emotional finale of Lost. While I was completely satisfied with the ending, I know we'll never get answers to many of the questions posed throughout its six years. I'm fine with it and feel that the unanswered questions allow the show to live on past its air date by having people continue to mull it over, think and theorize on what exactly all these things mean. I'll leave the recapping and theorizing to those more invested and studied in the show's mythology than I.

Also, one of my favorite things during the finale (besides the show obviously) were the Target commercials. Check them out below:
