I've having difficulty staying interested in watching SYTYCD this season. In the past, I at least watched probably up until the top 6 or 4 (particularly if none of my "favs" were still left) but this season... I don't know. It just seems like certain dancers (for the girls, Kherington and Chelsie Hightower) are constantly praised for everything that they do. Whereas some other dancers are constantly criticized.

That disturbs me because it feels like it's becoming more and more like a popularity contest. Which it is (from the perspective of the viewers voting) but it shouldn't be that way from the judges. I think part of it is the manner in which the judges critique.

Maybe it's just my lack of a discerning eye. Dances which I think are good (like matt and Courtney Lind's hip hop) - while it wasn't my favorite dance, looked pretty good. Yet the judges didn't. The paso doble from Kherington and Twitch did nothing for me, and the judges LOVED it. So maybe it's just me...

But yeah - I'm just not interested...
