Cat always has more fun.
Its what she deserves.

A good narrative is great, but as Tay Tay said, sometimes you want to be excluded.
Our dancers are sharp as tacks, and everybody praises Koine for infusing her performance with so much personality.
Shes proof you dont need story to have character.
Cat, dusting off one of her favorite compliments, calls Marko a good egg.
Everyone here loves everyone!
But unfortunately, every single vibe here is HAIR and Taylors ponytail is literally swallowing us all.
I swear she pulled a girl-from-The-Ringand whipped that thing into my face a couple of times.
(Youre like the tour guide from Sodom and Gomorrah!)
and not nearly low enough.
Also, Icould not see her behind her hair.
Anyway, you know whos fun?
Lex and All-Star GabyChoreographer: Mandy Moore, ContemporaryWork Song by Luke Wade
Lex, at last we meet.
I thought Lexs whole brand was not having just one style!
Its like he was that pile of Old Taylor Swifts fighting each other inher new video.
And now theyre all gone.
The old Lex cant come to the phone right now.
Its stuck in my head.
In any case, Lex the Singular is a force of nature.
To quote Nigel: Your lines look like theyve been created by an architect.
As Cat puts it, I mean, it was no Riverdance, but it was good.
Kaylee and All-StarCyrusChoreographer: Val Chmerkovskiy, Cha-ChaRespect by Aretha Franklin
Ah, story, you fickle mistress.
Thats her prerogative, Val!
Flipping gender stereotypes sometimes just enforces them!
But thats not the point.
How GREAT is Kaylee in this routine??!
The judges are excited by her confidence, and Mary sends her R-E-S-P-E-C-T on behalf of the ballroom world.
STRONG, STRONG WOMAN.
Additionally, Val is wearing a pinstripe turtleneck.
Just something to keep in mind.
Mark and All-Star ComfortChoreographer: Spencer Liff, BroadwayCriminal by Scott Bradlees Postmodern Jukebox feat.
Its a metaphor, you see.
Hes up to the task.
And thats a compliment.
He stays in sync with Jenna, and Vanessa thinks hes getting better at character.
Good for Kiki (assuming thats Kiki under there could be Schmidt).
Good thing Jaci Royal takes theTwin Peaksapproach to dreams.
Heres a very excited Vanessa with a critique for the ages: Who is this she-devil?
(Its funnier the way she says it.)
But this piece is still a joyful charmer.
Mary tells Logan he was born to do this; Vanessa says she saw his heart.
And then Uncle Nigel brings everyone down by talking about divorce.
And what a fun bird Lex is!
Im notquiteas smitten as the judges are.
Vanessa, with a veryBuster Bluth delivery, insists, You were BIRDS.
With Seth and Amy.
Best eyelashes, though: I wouldnt argue with that.

Wait, hold up: #daddykiki is a thing??
Twitter, do we need to have words?
#rehearsalkiki is my favorite Kiki.
I only wish this routine held up when it hit the stage.
Marys even got these two packing their bags for the Hot Tamale Train.
(Cat, excited: And theres gonna be kissing at the station.)
The judges mean it as a real compliment: Logan is that good.
Free her chin from that turtleneck, hey.
And we have umbrellas, so, hey.
Words to live by, honestly.
And lets not forget that she literally moved to America because ofSYTYCD.You made it, Dassy.
I hope you and your red gloves get weird in everybodys dreams.
