NBC's new reality show "The Baby Borrowers" takes five teenage couples through a crash course in adulthood tasking them with responsibilities such as a house payment, a job, and for three days, the care of a baby (and later, a toddler, pre-teen and elderly person). Many bloggers and others are up in arms over infants being separated from their parents for so long for a so-called "social experiment" saying it is irresponsible television and some have even called it child abuse.

Last night was an epic SYTYCD, with each couple performing two routines. Last night it was also clear who the judges favor, who they are gunning for, and I even detected a bit of strategy on their part, namely: Send a message to fans that they would never boot Will, so please PLEASE put him in the Bottom 3, so they can boot Jessica. And I have the same plea.

It's tightening up people, now's the time to bring it! I may indeed be prepared to agree with those shiny hype-y people, the SYTYCD judges, and declare this the best season yet for SYTYCD. All credit for that is due to the hip-hoppers, B-boys and popper/lockers who are bringing it outside their own genre, avoiding having to save themselves with amazing solos, while they lag in ballroom, latin and contemporary style. I think some of the hep cats have a little classical dance training somewhere in their past, that's alls I'm sayin'

Elisa is on the road today, so I'm stepping out of the wings and into her spotlight with this week's recap of So You Think You Can Dance!

This season the pre-finals episodes of So You Think You Can Dance seem curtailed. And more focused on the good ones who showed up, not the freaks. I'm all for that. But I do think Vegas "week" may have warranted more than a single hour of air time devoted to it. You don't get to know and root for any of the contestants when they're trying to show you 30-40 of them in one hour.
