I think Pahsa and Sarah did a great job on that routine. There was a real spark to it. I saw the emotion in it, even if Mary and Nigel didn't see that much.

Jazz is one of those things I can go both ways with. It can really hit me or leave me stone cold. I think a lot of it has to do with the story it's trying to tell and I thought this one spoke loud and clear through its "body language." I loved the play on words with the dance.

Wow. Did not like that routine one bit. And Lauren just doesn't belong up there at all. I hope she goes home.

That was the worst Mia routine ever! She usually pulls something new out of the dancers and this just went nowhere.

Usually I like Mia or am willing to acknowledge that she's good even if I don't like the dance, but this was just ugh. And, honestly, I think it was the outfits that put me off the most! I just could not get past them at all. Goggles, fer crying out loud.

That was very good. Hot. Danny was elegant and Anya has some of the most gorgeous arm movements I've seen. And did I mention they are hot? Whew.

I think what he brought was an actual connection to his partner. He's always been there for her technically, but this was the first time I actually felt he saw her while they were dancing. I definitely give them an A+ on this one.
