..."Joshua and Twitch do their routine next. It is a Russian routine that is choreographed by Youri Nelzine. WOW, it is absolutely fabulous! I cannot even begin to describe how much I love it. Not only is the choreography spectacular, but the humor and story behind the dance just sell it.

Mandy thinks the dance was insane ad teases Twitch about the doing all the floor work, causing him and Joshua to play fight.

Mary is glad there are two hip hop dancers in the finale--and thinks this is one of the best routines she has seen in the show's history. She gets up and screams in delight.

Nigel is glad Youri brought Russian dance to the show and says they will always remember them for this routine"...
