[photo: Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic]Rumors circulated this week that Fox honchos, desperate to retool and salvage "American Idol" after a disastrous 12th season, are considering replacing the entire judging panel with "Idol" alums.

(Yes, the Swon Brothers are a duo, but they still technically count as one contestant.) So far, this really does look like a girls' season for "The Voice"...and it looks like it's going to be a Team Adam or Team Blake season, too, at this rate.

With both cities being major music hubs in the U.S., the odds of the episode finding some very impressive dancers were high — and the show did not disappoint.But the least disappointing (as is, most awesome) moment of all was when a beloved dancer from Season 9 showed up at the end of the episode to give "SYTYCD" another go. Will this be the year that Hampton Williams, aka the so-brilliant-it's-scary "Exorcist," makes it to the live shows? If so, he's definitely going to be the man to beat.
