Very happy with the outcome, IMO it was exactly right. All four deserved to be there, the best two were the finalists and the best one won. For me the most important factor is how well the dancer can do all the various styles. All four were very good, but Gaby did everything very well and her tap solos were amazing. Plusses this year: Camera motion was somewhat less this year. Thank you. No bands hyping their latest pop "hit". Thank you. Minuses this year: No guest dancers. The dearth of ballroom. I can remember one samba, one awful paso double, one token tango. No foxtrot, waltzes, quick step that I can recall. I can't say I miss the quick step, but would an occasional foxtrot or waltz be too painful? All in all a very entertaining season. I sure hope it gets picked up again.

They are actual reprises. Example: In the originalTravis / Joshua hip hop, Joshua's hat falls off. Not so in the reprise.
