2022 So You Think You Can Dance Judges

Okay, let's talk about the So You Think You Can Dance judges from 2022. Remember that season? Good times, questionable critiques! Don't @ me, but someone's gotta say it.
The Panel: A Quick Recap
We had our veterans and some fresh faces. Nigel Lythgoe was, well, Nigel. Always had an opinion, that's for sure!
Then there was the lovely Mary Murphy, bless her heart. Her "Hot Tamale Train" never gets old (said no one after the 50th time hearing it).
Must Read
And who could forget the guest judges? They came and went like dance trends. Some were amazing, others... not so much.
My (Potentially Unpopular) Opinions
First off, anyone else think Nigel's comments were a little... predictable? It was like he had a checklist of things to say every episode. Spice it up, Nigel! We need some variety!
And Mary's screaming? I get it, she's enthusiastic. But sometimes I wanted to mute the TV. Anyone else feel the same? Don't be shy.

Okay, unpopular opinion time: I sometimes missed the constructive criticism. Some weeks, it felt more like a popularity contest. Where's the focus on the technique, people?
Remember when they tried to be "relatable"? That felt a little forced sometimes. We know you're judging a dance competition, not auditioning for TikTok.
Did the judges really know what they were talking about when it came to all the different dance styles? Some of the critiques made me raise an eyebrow.

I'm just saying, maybe a little more dance expertise across the board would have helped. Just a thought!
The Good Stuff
Look, it wasn't all bad. Mary's energy was infectious. You gotta give her that! She brought the fun.
And when the judges did offer good advice, it was gold. Those moments of genuine insight were fantastic for the dancers and the viewers. I'm not trying to be totally negative here!
Plus, let's be honest, the drama was entertaining. Admit it, you lived for the judge disagreements! It made for good TV.

Overall Thoughts
The 2022 judging panel on So You Think You Can Dance was... an experience. A rollercoaster of emotions, questionable decisions, and hot tamales.
Would I change some things? Absolutely. Do I still love the show? Of course! I am still watching it.
But hey, that's just my opinion. What did you think of the judges? Did you agree with their choices? Sound off in the comments (or just yell at your screen, I won't judge).

In the end, we all watch for the amazing dancing. That's what matters. The rest is just a bit of extra spice. (Even if sometimes it's a little too spicy.)
So here’s to the future seasons and new judges. Let’s see what new dynamics unfold. Who knows, maybe we'll get a judging panel that everyone agrees on... Nah, that's too boring!
But whatever happens, I'll be watching! Popcorn ready, opinions loaded.
One last thing: Can we bring back Mia Michaels as a permanent judge please? Just throwing that out there.
