12/1 Show Discussion Thread **SPOILERS**

[KofferMum]

Will they all have solos tonight with their video packages?

And they each dance twice tonight?

[kiariclois]

Is Nigel's comment good or bad? lol. I dunno how to interpret it.

Russell Solo

Cute video of Russell's parents watching him at home. And he does a kickin' krump solo.

[prhoshay]

Russell is fascinating to watch.

Nathan and Kathryn: Broadway – Spencer Liff

Good number! I get worried for Nathan when acting is required, but this was light. Still for better or worse he comes across as a chorus boy. Kathryn was lovely and just right on the money.

Nigel: You found the style perfectly. But Kathryn didn't have enough chemistry.
Mary: Kathryn was marvelous in this number and every week - makes it look easy. Nathan, no trouble at all.
Adam: Love that we can look back at the history of dance in the movies. Was worried about Nathan, but he did really well. Kathryn brought a little bit of maturity.

I wonder if Ryan took Nigel's remarks from last week to heart and spruced up his solo.

Noelle's solo seems the same as every other contemporary dancers' solo to me.

[prhoshay]

Unimpressed with Noelle.

Noelle Solo

Lovely, really. Great joy in her dancing - much better than Mollee.

Jakob and Ellenore: Quickstep – Tony and Meredith
Once again - will this finally derail Jakob? And once again - not in the least. He and Ellenore never miss a step and keep the energy and personality flowing.

Nigel: Jakob be sure the feet don't turn out. Ellenore - beautiful.
Mary: T&M gave them a really tough routine. The longest any couple has spent in close hold ever on the show.
Adam: So fantastic - this is the couple I have wanted to see all season.

Great footwork by Ellenore and Jakob!

As usual, I really like Tony and Melanie's choreography, too.
