This is, by far, the most Ive ever tolerated the Bee Gees.
Send a cake to the wig department.
Hey, did you want this fun dance competition show to remind you that votes often end in disappointment?
But lets table that for a minute and get to thestories.
Is it too much to ask Mark to try, like, a switch leap?
Someone challenge that boy; hes definitely got the confidence for it.
Mark just stands there, crosses his arms, and smiles.Rufio.)
Anyway, Mary says she couldnt keep her eyes off Mark, and Im with her there.
Nigel calls it one of the most sexiest styles of dance ever (!)
and recommends it as relationship therapy, which is not his worst idea.
And yet this was still just an average Argentine Tango.
Some moments were spectacular (the slow lift!).
Keep doing your thing, boo.
Oh, did other things happen?
He calls it hippity-hop.
His glasses are back (and in danger).
He says things like, I hope I can tap into my inner freak.
You cant, but thanks for not sending Viola Davis anyweird gifts.
Dance what you know, right??
But what else can we do?
Like the title of the song she danced to?

This dance is a BLIND DATE SET IN THE FUTURE.

This piece is also big on concept: Kaylee and Cyrus are aliens dropped into human bodies.
Judging by the costumes, those human bodies are company members inWest Side Story.
Nigel is glad she got to be unique again.
Im all for uniqueness, but this is dance, Nigel!
Sometimes you have to blend and adapt.
We cant all be principals for Cooper Nielson.
This dance is a charmer.
The choreography is kicky and romantic: the perfect blend of smooth moves and snappy contractions.
Taylor is, simply, a star, in the most classic Old Hollywood sense.
Everybodys thinking about when they discovered musical theater for the first time.
But take heart: The inspiration is much more subtle here.
Cat gets to keep that headdress, right?
at you telepathically, thats me.
I just feel like so many people can do more than they think they can achieve.
Robert plays a broken-down guy who connects with Jasmine, a hotel employee who feels similarly worn down.
There are tears in his eyes when he finishes.
What am I missing?
(Im glad shes okay.)
And her sexy vibe is more cute than anything.
When you smiled, it made me blush, Vanessa says.
Same, but not for the same reasons.
And now, the bad news.
Man, I loved that guy.
