Turn around, bright eyes
HappyMelanie and NeilDay, dance fans!
Can you believe the whole country paused as one to remember Melanies leap in that contemporary routine?
The scientific community still cant figure out how she did it.

Is that NOT the total eclipse everyones talking about???
(I dont know where to start!
Why does he say this with all the angst of the Little Mermaid???
WHY DO ALIENS AND MERMAIDS NOT SEE HOW GOOD THEY HAVE IT?)
And the judges love him.
Logan,tell us about space!!!
Koine and All-Star MarkoChoreographer: Dave Scott, Hip-HopYou Dont Own Me by Grace feat.
KOINE, GET IT, GIRL.
I dont want to jinx it, but Koine could take this whole season if theres any justice.
She debuted in a flower crown, and now shes getting dirty.
This one actually earns it.)
My only complaint is for Dave Scott, who really should have let Koine out of that chair earlier.
It felt like she and Marko were only dancing together for a few eight-counts.
into a feral animal.
Dave looked like he appreciated that fake-out about as much as I did.
I just wish shed been asked to do more.
Make These Jazz Routines Technical Again!
(Obviously thats Uncle Nigel.)
Then she makes claw hands.
Say what you want, but I love her still.
Mary is so moved that she starts crying.
(It was special tonight.)
More tulle skirts, hey.
ASIDE:Arent you just glad Travis Wall exists?
A few of their big tricks dont seem to hit their mark.
In happier news, Marys here to teach us her definition of patootie: Patootie!
Its a whole body and a little bit of booty!

Sydney and All-Star PaulChoreographer: Luther Brown, Hip-HopReally?
Hand over that neon.
Pile on the blazers.
Keep the sunglasses and thePulp Fictionwig, thanks; I cant see Sydneys face.
Sydney is cute and sharp, but she seems hesitant here.
In the end, she falls into this seasons pattern (two make a pattern, right?)
of ballroom dancers who just cant get dirty in hip-hop numbers.
And unlike Kiki, she actually gets called out on it.
Truly a banner night for Nigel.
Theres an inescapable whiff of creepy clown to this number (ITis coming, Spencer Liff!
This is not the time!
She isnt effortless, and sometimes her posture just isnt there.
Taylors out to bring therawr;she brings a meow.
Jean-Marc wants her to be hot; shes decently warm.
(Nigel: It felt a bit like a damp rocket.)
And connecting with Robert Roldan specifically is why the samba was invented.
Next time, the judges want more fire.
To help light that match, heres some motivational wisdom from Jean-Marc Genereux: YOURE NOT 19 ANYMORE.
YOURE 19 AND A HALF!
You sure can, Cat.
This piece is about the moment you see someone and it becomes intoxicating to you.
Are they all just under the spell of George Michael and wind machines?
Kiki needs to ease way up on those ballroom flourishes.
Like, to the point of non-use.
Also, why does Kiki need Cat to hand him his glasses as soon as this routine is done?
Are his eyes okay?
Did he stare at the eclipse?
Does he know about contacts?
Kiki knows his assets.
