We learned a lot from last weeks show.
Jordan is a bona fide star.
Maddie is the new Jason.

Jason is the new man bun.
But none of that matters anymore.
Jason is on a plane (convenient), and tWitch has taken his place.
Are there squatters rights for reality-competition judges?
Can tWitch just stay in that seat?
Replacing Jason with tWitch is like replacing one sad maleGhostbustersfan with 400 Kate McKinnons.
Lets get to it.
tWitch has wisdom to share.
Now for the good news: everything else.
Jordan and Ruby are fierce.
Jordan brings a little bit more soul to the dance than Ruby does, but they both attack it.
Id hire them to breathe for me any day.
To quote tWitch, Yall did that.
Choreographers: Nappytabs, Hip-Hop
Song: Dessert (Remix) by Dawin feat.
Silento
Cat would like to remind you that this routine is based on brand-new characters!
and any resemblance to other fictional chocolatiers named Willy is purely coincidental.
That said, Emma wants a golden ticket.
Her arms are a little bit stiff sometimes, but she hits hard, and shes fun to watch.
Swag on, Swagtarts.
Tahani is feeling it so much that shes almost in tears by the end.
Maddie backs her up: Bullying is not cool.
Daniela and Sheaden
Choreographer: Umario Diallo, Cha-Cha
Song: I Love It by Icona Pop feat.
Weve all been there, am I right?
I love this hip-hop routine about farmers who are literally wooing each other with turnips.
I love their little tractors.
I love the play on turn up.
I love how the stage looks like the set of NBCs live production ofThe Wiz.
Nigel declares theyre two of the best dancers on the show and then mispronounces Kidas name.
Then he says, Turnip the base, and tWitch literally has to look away.
actually would be good on Broadway.
Hes a tiny showman.
It even satisfies Nigel, andWest Side Storyis his favorite musical.
As he points out, Emma and J.T.
could work on connecting with each other more, but they connect with the audience just fine.
tWitch even gives them a one-judge standing ovation.
Imagine seeing that across a crowded gym.
Ruby is so graceful!
Truly the highest compliment of the night.
Tate and Kida take the stage for a pop-infused number about… Tates ponytail?
No one knows or cares.
This week is the most engaging shes ever been.
Maybe Nigel will learn how to pronounce his name soon.
Song: Rich Mans Frug from Sweet Charity (New Broadway Cast)
Fosse, Fosse, Fosse.
Sheaden puts so much joy and quirk into his movements that I yelled his name at one point.
A translation from tWitch: Youre cooler than a polar bears toenails, bro.
He also says Daniela has the legs of Cyd Charisse, and have I mentioned tWitch needs to stay?
Tahani is all personality.
Everyone is going to learn and grow so much from this rigorous competition!
But the competition isnt just one big snap-cup session: Someone still has to go home.
Was it because she didnt research Fosse?
And with that, were down to nine already.
See you next week, America.
tWitch, see you especially.
