And my second favorite of the night (which, based on the judges' reactions might be controversial, although Iain and I both loved it) was Ellenore's and Ryan's jazz routine choreographed by Gerry Stewart:
I also loved seeing Ryan and Ashleigh dance together at long last, because I'm a big romantic sap. I thought the judges short-changed them a bit with their comments; with all the (well-deserved) gushing for Russell over doing so well out of his style, I thought Ryan and Ashleigh had earned the note that they were two ballroom dancers who danced a contemporary routine together beautifully. Iain, btw, yelled at Basil Rathboner for his "too'ally unnecess'ry!" comment that Ashleigh has more chemistry with Jakob than her husband.
I don't even care who wins at this point. I love them all.
[Thank you to Vance for the video.]
