Judges are Lil’ C (fun!), Nigel and Mary. Two group dances by Sonya (both of them!), solos, and 2 dances per couple.
Men's group dance by Sonya - Willy Wonka theme - Well danced but not special (all were decent but Ade less so, according to my source).
Samba for Ade and Jeanine - Lady Gaga’s music - Jeanine got rave reviews (Nigel was slightly gross), Ade not as much. Mary really picked apart this samba and didn't like Ade, but then after their hip hop (see below) Mary said she was so busy thinking of all the technical stuff in the samba that she forgot to say how AHMAZING Jeanine was in it, because she is ahmazing.
Broadway for Melissa and Evan - wedding theme - Tailor made for Evan. Source and judges liked it okay (source preferred Melissa).
Contemporary for Brandon and Kayla - Stacey Tookey (Canada) - Abused woman theme; she wants to end the relationship (another battered woman contemporary) - Judges liked it. Mostly Kayla was highlighted and did well. Source said one of the best three performances of the night.
Hip-Hop for Ade and Jeanine - Eviction theme – NappyTabs. Super literal it was about a couple being evicted and moving out boxes from their home (actual boxes). Awesome routine. Ade proved himself here (for my source). Rave reviews. Lil’ C loved the dirtiness. One of the best of the night.
Quickstep for Melissa and Evan - Started strong and lost some of it in the middle. Melissa was better in expression but couldn't hold form. Only Lil’ C really liked it.
Disco for Brandon and Kayla - Awesome routine. Really difficult and energetic. At one point they looked exhausted but got it together. Rave reviews. Probably best of the night according to my source. Brandon and Kayla definitely stand-out couple of the night. The audience did not stop cheering over because it was pretty cool.
Women’s group dance by Sonya - Superhero inspired - Jeanine was Wonder Woman and they all had cute belts with the first letter of their names - Nothing special (according to my source) and all were good.
Solos: Boring except for Kayla’s and Brandon’s. Kayla was great and Brandon got a standing O from Nigel and Mary (and deserved it according to my source). Brandon was practically naked and it was like epic (I wonder if he did some well-known ballet variation and the source did not recognize it? Acteon maybe? Has to see it tonight…) and Nigel said it was one of the best solos on the show ever.
Judges, according to source: Nigel was perverted to Jeanine throughout most of the night. Lil' C is cool but overdid the vocabulary thing again… Source did not mention Mary. Probably same scream, same old.
Interesting last note from the source at the live recording: This audience got to record the tour introduction that Cat does for tour so you'll hear us wooo--ing and '5! 4!3!2!1!welcometosytycdwooooooo!'at every tour stop this season
Nigel also recorded his Top 5 highlights from auditions for season 5 for the tour. #1 is Nathan Trasoras, and then there’s adam shankman dancing, sex vs. leo, ryan kasprzak, and someone else I forget…

Question for you... Who made Melissa's Garter?
People have asked if I did and I don't know - I haven't seen the show. I can't find it online...
It looked like a standard white lacey garter to me! We carry them at Attitude Dancewear (our Coral Springs store). Sometimes in stock. We get them from a supplier in New York.
