SYTYCD, no April Foolin'

I received this message via Facebook about my favorite show. I'm disappointed. The format of Season 1 needed help, but they re-vamped it and I thought it was working just fine. Not that I don't love some of the old dancers, but why not just bring them back for the finale or something and give us 20 new dancers?

“SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE” SHAKES UP THE SEVENTH SEASON!
Former “SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE” all-stars will return as Season 7 Finalists' dance partners!

Two-Hour Season Premiere Airs Thursday, May 27, on FOX

America’s favorite summer series, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, returns for its seventh season with some exciting new twists, including 10 finalists competing, only one dancer eliminated per week and the return of dancers from previous seasons.

This year, the competition is the toughest it has ever been as the judges will pick only 10 dancers (five guys and five girls) – from the thousands that auditioned – to compete for the title of America’s Favorite Dancer. During the performance rounds, one finalist will go home weekly. Additionally, the competitors will be partnered each week with a different SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE All-Star dancer – former SYTYCD finalists who are skilled in various styles of dance, including ballroom, hip-hop, jazz and contemporary. The All-Star Partners will be announced shortly.

Be sure to tune in to the two-hour Season Seven premiere Thursday, May 27 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Hosted by Cat Deeley, the hit dance competition series will inspire and amaze viewers as dancers skilled in styles ranging from hip-hop to ballroom compete to be named America’s Favorite Dancer. Last season’s winner, Russell Ferguson, danced off with a $250,000 cash prize, the title of America’s Favorite Dancer and a cover feature in the March issue of Dance Spirit Magazine.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE was created by Simon Fuller and Nigel Lythgoe and comes from 19 Entertainment Ltd. and dick clark productions. It is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Barry Adelman.

Oh, lame. Why must we try to be like Dancing with the Stars, which is much, much more lame?? That's a disappointment. Oh well.

Gosh, I hope it's still a good show! I don't want it to become Dancing With the Stars. Either way, though, I can't wait for it to start!
