Melissa & Ade - Disco (Doriana)

Typical Doriana disco... forgettable, boring, etc. They brought a lot of energy, and I'll give them credit for trying and not messing it up. Judges called it a fantastic opening to the show.

Kayla & Kupono - Contemporary (Mia)

The idea was that Kayla was an addict trying to break free from her addiction, which was Kupono. It was a personal piece for Kupono, because one of his friends battled a drug addiction. He was dressed in all black and had lots of dark make-up on, and she was completely makeup-less and bare. The song was a popular song, but I can't remember what it's called. This piece was AMAZING. It was my favourite of the night. A lot of the audience was tearing up. There was this one moment when Kupono comes up behind Kayla and just stares into the camera with this evil smirk that made chills go down my spine. The judges loved it and said Kayla can dance anything.

Caitlin & Jason - Foxtrot (either Tony Meredith or Jean-Marc & France)

They really wanted to make it great, not just good. Caitlin had a really pretty glittery green dress on. The judges liked it, but they weren't absolutely crazy about it. I thought it was pretty good, but not particularly memorable.

Evan & Randi - Hip Hop (Nappytabs)

The idea was that Evan and Randi were a couple who just found out Randi was pregnant. It was adorable -- Evan was dressed in a collared shirt and an argyle vest and Randi had a yellow top on. The song was "Halo." They were pretty in sync, though there were some tricks and lifts that they struggled through. I really enjoyed it. The judges said Nappytabs did a good job of creating a hip-hop routine that would suit Evan and Randi's personalities.

Phillip & Jeanine - Russian Folk Dance (?)

Okay, this was incredibly weird. They were dressed very folksie, and... idk. They danced it well and tried, but it was just too strange. I don't think it will come off well with the audience. The judges hated it, basically, even though they commended Phillip and Jeanine for trying. Nigel hinted that he thought it was the choreographer's fault and that they shouldn't have included that style of dance.

Brandon & Janette - Argentine Tango (I'm pretty sure it was Jean-Marc & France)

This performance was FLAWLESS. Very sexy, with lots of subtle footwork and crazy lifts. Brandon and Janette tackled every one of them without a single mistake. The judges creamed their pants over this one. All of them gave standing ovations. They said Brandon finally got into the dance and stopped looking at the audience, and Janette was just incredible.

Melissa & Ade - Waltz (don't remember)

Melissa teared up when she talked about how she'd miss Ade. Ade said he'd miss getting to know Melissa. The performance was very pretty. Melissa wore a gorgeous flowy white dress and Ade looked very handsome. Of course they did great; it's the style of dance they do best. I really enjoyed it. The song was "Natural Woman." I think the judges liked it, but they might have mentioned something about how Ade needs to get into the performance when he's dancing to a song like "Natural Woman," idk.

Kayla & Kupono - Broadway (Joey Dowling)

I don't remember what Kayla said she'd miss about Kupono, but Kupono said he'd miss her sweaty hands/feet, lol. This was a cutesy 40s/50s-ish Broadway. The song was a well-known one but I don't remember it, sorry. Kayla wore an adorable flowery, pink dress and Kupono was all dressed up, complete with suspenders. The concept was two people meeting on a rooftop and falling in love. They danced it very well, but the judges didn't really like it. Nigel went on and on about how he grew up in that era and when two people met there was this uncertainty that they'd be bombed the next day so they didn't want to get too involved or something. He said Kayla and Kupono didn't capture that spirit. The rest of the judges agreed -- they said Kayla and Kupono were just dancing on the surface and it wasn't professional enough.

Caitlin & Jason - Lyrical Jazz (Mandy Moore)

Caitlin said she'd miss Jason's hugs. Jason said he'd miss her quirkiness and jokes. This performance had a very earthy feel to it, kind of like Tyce's jazz meets the piece Mandy choreographed for Courtney and Gev last season. Jason was shirtless, so ladies, get ready. Mandy said in the beginning that it would have everything in it -- musicality, lifts, footwork, etc. I REALLY liked the choreography. There were some really cool lifts in there. However, Caitlin and Jason didn't nail the performance. They did everything correctly, but there was definitely something missing, because the piece had the potential to be a showstopper but it wasn't. Nigel said they didn't have enough chemistry. Mary disagreed, but she wasn't crazy about it (she said America loves Jason's face, though, idk). Tyce said this is SYTYCD so they need to have everything, and they didn't.

Evan & Randi - Samba (Pasha & Anya)

Randi said she'd miss the look Evan gives her when he has to pretend he wants her, and Evan said he'd miss Randi's outgoing personality. They were both decked out in matching leopard-patterned outfits (Nigel said it looked like they cut up one of Mary's dresses and fashioned the outfits out of the remaining fabric). Randi was embarrassed about trying to be sexy. The performance was kind of meh for me. They both definitely tried, but it wasn't as hot as it should have been. The judges didn't like it. They said Randi was amazing, but they were really harsh on Evan. I don't remember what exactly they said (something about him not hitting things hard enough and putting too much jazz into the turns), but I felt really bad for him.

Phillip & Jeanine - Jive (don't remember)

I don't remember what they said they'd miss about each other, sorry. But OMG I loved this! Jeanine was wearing a sparkly bra top, and she looked HOT. The song was "Stuff Like That There." The concept was Phillip is a sailor who comes home expecting his girlfriend to throw herself at him, but his girlfriend wants to make him appreciate her first. There was a lot of ass grabbing and Jeanine's boobs in Phillip's face. The judges adored it. They all agreed that Phillip surprised them and we shouldn't count him out yet, and that Jeanine is one of their favourite dancers.

Brandon & Janette - Jazz (Wade Robson)

Brandon said he'd miss Janette's spiciness and mentioned that she brought him out of his shell. I don't remember what Janette said she'd miss about Brandon. This piece had a hard-hitting, hip-hoppy feel to it. The concept was two thieves trying to steal jewels. Janette was the impulsive one and Brandon was the calculating one, which they said suited their personalities. They started on the balcony wearing shades and moved their way down to the stage. It was really good... one of Wade's more understandable pieces. The judges loved it and said Brandon and Janette are by far the best couple and they'll be shocked if they don't receive the most votes.
