Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

I love me some old school jazz!

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.

Well, Danny brought the personality tonight!

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dear Wade: Stop saying "yah?"
