Gurrrrrrrrrl! I think this will be super cheeseball but I’m excited lmao
Michele reveals her plans for her web show below! Tell us what you think! Sounds like a cool idea to us… let’s hope she sticks with it. It’s a glimmer of light of the old (and new) Michele!
Not too sure what I think of this. Maybe that’s why Lacey dropped out of DWTS. Seems a bit early for an allstar season though. Thoughts?
So You Think You Can Dance’s seventh season will have just 10 finalists, and they will be paired with all-star dancers from previous seasons of the show instead of each other.
Of the final 10, who will be half men and half women, “one finalist will go home weekly,” Fox announced today. They will be paired with “former SYTYCD finalists who are skilled in various styles of dance, including ballroom, hip-hop, jazz and contemporary,” and those partners will change weekly. Executive producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe previouslyrevealed some changes last week, including the elimination of the top 20.
While Nigel Lythgoe wrote on Twitter that “Only the competitors will be judged not the ‘All-Stars’,” the all-stars’ performance will, of course, impact the vote. The judges’ in this new format isn’t clear, but it seems like their role will be reduced to that of American Idoljudges, even though they’ve previously decided who went home during the semi-final rounds. That ensured talented dancers stuck around, but now, it seems, after the auditions, viewers will be in control.
Carrie Bell of People.com sat down and spoke to J&J about their TAR experience and their relationship. Here’s what they had to say… OH AND JEFF TOTALYL HINTS AT THEM DOING ANOTHER REALITY SHOW OR ALLSTARS!
So sad to see you guys go as you never ceased to entertain. Jeff: At least we accomplished something.
Much of the entertainment value came from Jordan’s ditsy moments — the granddaddy of them all being confusing Noah’s Arc and Joan of Arc. Jordan: I was like, “I don’t want to watch this episode because I know they’re gonna show that stupid thing I said about Joan.” If I ever learned about her, that was a long time ago and I’d forgotten. Racing, you’re not always thinking straight and the first thing that came to my head when I heard Arc was Noah and animals. It made me feel better when Caite said the same thing. At least I wasn’t the only one.
Where did you go wrong? Biggest misstep? Jordan: Directions. It was cold. We didn’t communicate well with each other. The whole cab ride in Germany really threw us off for the next two legs. That guy took us probably 40 minutes out of the way and put us so far behind. It just went downhill from there. Jeff: That really messed with our heads. It’s hard to play catch-up.
They’re really taking care of the casting process this season! They extended the date in which you can send in a home video of yourself until April 23rd. That’s huge. Casting calls go into May. APPLY NOW!
BB12cast: home tape deadline officially extended to April 23rd. Spread the word & get working on those home tapes!

Okay! Only one day late this time! hahaha I’ll get it next week, I promise! He talks about the two biggest threats… one being Jeff and Jordan. Read the full article at People.com
And just like that, Jet and Cord catapulted from currency-confusing cowboys to leaders of the pack. On Sunday, the 10 remaining teams on the sixteenth installment of The Amazing Race traveled to Puerto Varas, Chile, for the second leg of the race, where teams struggled navigating the Chilean bus system, dressing llamas or themselves as flying condors, and running around the Weisser Family Farm searching for German baking ingredients.
Once again, mistakes abounded. Jeff and Jordan ended up going to the wrong bus station; Dan and Jordan got lost as they struggled with a manual transmission; Louie andMichael drove right past the final task and ended up 19 miles out of the way; and most teams wasted a day in one bus terminal while Jeff and Jordan, Jet and Cord, and Brent andCaite slipped away after finding a better option. When all the dust settled, Jet and Cord were triumphant while Jody andShannon had to pack for Elimination Station.
Before I crown the biggest mistake, I have to give the cowboys some love. Instead of waiting around for a direct bus, they were smart enough to look for other options. Jeff and Jordan did the same thing, but the cowboys did not rest on their laurels, patting themselves on the back with their great strategic move. They kept vigilant and pulled ahead of every other team. Once they got the lead, they never looked back. Let’s be honest: who thought Jeff and Jordan and Jet and Cord would be the two biggest threats?
I love the fact that Jeff called Jordan out for not knowing how many eggs were in a baker’s dozen! Not only was it endearing, but I’ve recently realized that many otherwise smart people do not know things that most of us take for granted. Is there really such a thing as common knowledge anymore? I quizzed a group of over-achieving high school kids a few weeks ago and was shocked at some of the answers. Who was the white guy Pocahontas had a crush on? (No, not Christopher Columbus.) Who invented the light bulb? (No, not Thomas Jefferson.) Who is Chekhov? (Really? Watch season 14 again.)
Enough suspense … the award for the mistake of the week goes to Shannon! Let me explain. There is no question Jody is the world’s coolest grandmother. I don’t know many people who can handle getting kicked in the head by a cow. She carried her own weight, is not afraid to try new things and has endurance many 30-somethings would envy. As Jody put it, the roadblock proved that septuagenarians “can do physical things.” But what I don’t understand is why — since Jody and Shannon were likely in last place — did Shannon let her grandmother do that roadblock? The one thing Jody did not have was hustle. Slow and steady does not win when you’re in last place. I’m all for proving you can do it, but when you’re hoping to avoid elimination you need to scramble, unless you’ve already resigned yourself to leaving the race. I’m not saying hustling would have made a difference, or that Shannon would have done a quicker job, but it did seem like the team as a whole never understood the urgency of being in a race. If I were Shannon, I would have told my grandmother she can prove herself on the next task! And since Louie and Michael did fall into the back of the pack, hustling could very well have made a big difference. –Victor Jih
