Desi Saenz straight up killing that Hip-Hop choreography. Luv her. And she looked so good during the first half of Ballroom round, too, especially considering she was sharing the stage with two strong female Ballroom dancers, Ashley Sanchez and Sofia Ghavami. Gino Cosculluela looks so different with curly hair.  On the other hand Jay Jackson with a beard reminded me of Vincent van Gogh. I'm a bit worried about the chances of the remaining Ballroom dancers since almost all the ones shown this episode like Ashley, Sofia, Natalya Zrazhevskaya, Stefen Yeritsyan and Lukas Bartunek were given much less focus than their respective partners, Gino, Benjamin Castro, Colton Edwards, Madison Jordan and Mariah Russell. Talia Favia's choreography never fails to make me emotional and I'm happy to see that it seems like she's becoming part of the established pool of choreographers on this show. Bailey Munoz and John John Tarrayo truly did her choreography justice.  Bailey in particular simply took my breath away with his insane amount of passion, crazy athleticism and sheer drive. Can’t believe they make cinnamon rolls with so much energy these days.
