That was a really interesting version of "Psycho Killer" :p. Good dance, though, I liked that one. 

[DEL901]

Nice but not her best.  I 

[iMonrey]

I didn't think this was a good type of dance for Ilona. I also didn't think it was choreographed very well.

[dancingdreamer]

Ilona and Alan dance a tango

Nice  frame, she dances well in hold

[Desperado]

The lipstick streak really bothers me and it’s pretty much Ilona’s whole Halloween costume. 😂

[iMonrey]

So Carrie Ann went all out for a costume while Derek and Bruno sort of half assed it. And Julianne and Alfonso didn't even try, unless that getup is Julianne's idea of a costume. Which would be hard to distinguish from her usual wardrobe.

[Annber03]

...all right, that dance from Dani and Dwight made me feel dizzy just watching it :p. Dang. 

[iMonrey]

Giving Dwight "Contemporary" this week feels like a hail Mary - he's clearly the worst one left. And even by the most liberal of definitions, can that even be called a "dance?"

[DEL901]

Dani is a great choreographer and teacher.  and she really brought out the best in Dwight.  

[dizzyd]

I love how Dwight and Dani put everything into that dance, enough to make Dani cry. I’m distracted tonight by Freddie Freeman! 

[DEL901]

He is probably going home, but leaving on a high note.  

[Desperado]

Daniella brought out the creepy choreography. Wow and ouch.

Did Dwight miss catching after she through herself off the stairs? It looked awkward.

What an improvement for Dwight. That was captivating. Still thinks it’s his time to go.

[dancingdreamer]

Dwight  and Daniella 

Omg that was creepy, I was mesmerized 

 

.Well done,  to both of them 

 

 

[iMonrey]

Sure it was great because he didn't actually have to dance.

[Stats Queen]

Carrie Ann - a 10 really? I think they don’t want him to go home.

Agree and that’s why they could give him a 10…he goes out on a high note.

I need to watch that again. I always love her Halloween dances.

Danny is good, very good, but his movement just doesn’t flow sometimes.

I agree

I didn’t need to see Bruno’s nipple.

[iMonrey]

Yeah, it was a little steppy on Danny's part but holy cow those lifts were amazing.

[dizzyd]

Those lifts were insane but the rest of the dance was all witney.

[dancingdreamer]

Danny and Witney an AT

I love Danny, he was a little rushed, but the lifts and the way he looks, very good.

[DEL901]

So Cari Ann has already given out 2 10s?   I guess Chandler is getting a 17.

[iMonrey]

Yeah that was a bit overscored.

[Good Queen Jane]

I’ll say it again, Witney in those lifts is either the bravest or craziest woman on the dance floor.

That flip at the end was crazy good. 

Also, I don't have a fear of snakes, per se, but I can't exactly blame him for reacting as he did to having a snake draped around him.

[Annber03]

Ooh, I liked that dance from Sasha and Jenn. Her holding onto his neck as she did at the end was amazing. Whole lotta people spinning and throwing each other around ronight in their dances :p. 

Also, Jenn looks great in her costume. 

[dancingdreamer]

Jenn and Sasha- contemporary 

That was lovely  Jenn, the choreography  has been excellent  tonight.

[Desperado]

Sasha’s face when Jenn said that she met a few vampires in her life. 🤣

[iMonrey]

Ugh, Contemporary again. I mean, I guess it was OK but compared to what? It's 100% subjective. Meanwhile watch they'll give Stephen Paso or Foxtrot or something.

[Desperado]

Another 10? WTH?

[dizzyd]

Did CAI lose all her other paddles? Can’t have Halloween night without a Sasha scary prank segment.

Omg perfect song for this dance I’ve always loved ramalama! That better get all 10s.

“You want me to be some creepy old dude in love with his puppet?!”

That was everything. 🤣
 

[Stats Queen]

Joey was excellent 

[dancingdreamer]

Joey Jenna AT

Joey just glides across the floor, he's unbelievable. 10 from me

[Annber03]

That was a really creative, fun dance. I enjoyed that :D. The song really worked for it as well - I've not heard that song before now, and I kinda liked it, so I'll have to look it up. 

[iMonrey]

WOw! That was by far my favorite number of the night! Great music, great costumes, great dance, great concept. And Joey was really great.

[DEL901]

I liked the beginning when Jenna was talking as the puppet and Joey was moving his mouth slightly like he was throwing his voice.  

Interesting how Jenna said that he does best as a character to perform…that is usually hard for non professional performers.   A potential career avenue to explore…not dancing, but maybe acting?

And it is clear that if she doesn’t mess up, Chandler is getting the season’s first 30.

[dizzyd]

I can watch Dani and pasha dance all night!♥️

I’m noticing a lot of similarities in the choreo tonight.

[DEL901]

Rylee’s choreography inexperience is showing again.  

[Desperado]

Now *that* was worth a 10! Stephen and Rylee!!

[dancingdreamer]

Stephen and Rylee, I hope he does well tonight.

And he did do well, excellent . 

He's in terrific  shape, and he has lovely  arms, this showed  off his strengths,  he did this dance so well.

That was mostly a floor gymnastic routine. Rylee is not a good choreographer- he is not improving, and he needs to demonstrate that he can do ballroom.

He is so adorable tho.

Look up this number for S2 of SYTYCD, some of my fave dancers from that show on that season.

[chitowngirl]

Stephen-WOW!

My mom and I constantly gasping every time he ran and took a flying leap over her, LOL. I really like how these dances are so intense in their creepy storylines/characterizations. "I Ran" is an interesting choice of song for a Halloween-themed dance, but it worked for that one. 

[dancingdreamer]

Stephen and Rylee, I hope he does well tonight.

And he did do well, excellent .
