Elimination Format Changes + Nigel's Twitter

First of all, due to the general huge outcry from fans last week re: the elimination format, Nigel apparently had a get-together with his producer buddies and they decided to go with the Season 9 format of eliminating people at the end of the show. I know I have a super unpopular take on the entire situation, but I actually liked that they cut people right away, because it makes way way more sense at the end of the show when they dole out numbers for voting and stuff. Obviously, the ideal situation would be to have an entire elimination show, but I guess FOX isn't having it.

Here's the tweet from Nigel that stated this;

There you have it... And apparently they'll only be a Bottom 4 this coming Tuesday, unless he tripped and pressed the 4 instead of the 6 or something. I just feel bad for Brittany and Carlos, who had to be the guinea pigs for the new format before it was absolutely skewered by the fans.

The guest judge is apparently some big surprise...

How is "He/She has a birthday some time this year?" any kind of a clue at all? Unless he was trying to be funny. According to The Futon Critic, Tuesday's guest judge will be Erin Andrews (http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news/2013/07/02/so-you-think-you-can-dance-voting-results-for-july-2-91100/20130702fox03/), who I had no idea who she was until I googled her. Apparently she's hosting FOX College Football for FOX sports, which would make a ton of sense for her to land a guest judging position, but she doesn't really line up with Nigel's cryptic tweet (especially because "Erin" doesn't start with a consonant). Erin Andrews re-tweeted this though, so it's not like it's some huge surprise anymore;

Not super happy about their choice of guest judge, but I suppose that it wasn't really their choice if she hosts some show for FOX. 

Today's last tweet comes from Dmitry after Nigel's murdering of his choreography last week;

I won't even go to how annoying it is that Dmitry said "2" instead of "too" (I suppose he could have been surpassing his 140 characters, but still). He was probably obligated to type out this tweet to save his buns if he wants to get another choreo gig with the show. I just feel so bad for Dmitry because it was so, so embarassing to have basically your boss call you out on national live TV like that. Whatevs.
