TOP 20 SPOILERS

I haven't had a chance to see if anyone else has posted yet. But here are my thoughts on last night's top 20 reveal show.
I was disappointed with how they chose to do the show.
I've said here recently that SYTYCD is one of my favorite reality shows. And I've also said that the Las Vegas part is one of my favorites. But i really did not like how they did this show.
1. They spent almost the entire hour doing the American Idol type thing. The top 34 going in one by one and being told whether they made the show.
That in itself didn't upset me that much. But if you only have one hour. I'd rather see the dancing. I really had no idea why most people made the show or didn't. Because they didn't show enough of the dancing.
2.(and this is the part that drove me mad). They spent all the time the day before showing the people who were getting eliminated. And they spent basically zero time showing 80% of those who will be in the top 20.
There were maybe 2 exceptions. But it made me really mad.
Some who made it through i knew (hawk and benji's sister). But only because they showed their original auditions and i knew them. But they did not feature most of the top 20 in Vegas at all. In fact i had no idea if benji's sister was even still on the show. Because i never saw her.
The people they did feature in Vegas who made it were not even that interesting. That one ballroom girl (don't like her). Why on earth would she be the one they featured?
I really do like the other girl they featured (was in jessie?). Her interpretative dance was amazing.
There were a few others i remembered (like tyce's helper from last year). But by in large there are so many people i do not know at all. And i don't get this.
Yes there were some interesting stories from the people who got cut (the girl who lost her arm, and olivia whose mother had cancer). But why focus so much on their journey and not show anything of the people who got through.
To me I should know everyone in the top 20 already. And i don't.
Don't they get it that it bugs people to get to know people so well and then have them get cut?
And don't they know that people would like to know those in the top 20.
Since america is voting for the most part it's sort of unfair to have some contestants already popular.
I just don't get why they did it this way.
