There were so many new and temporary pairings on tonight's competitive debut of the Top 20 that I don't think it's fair to judge all the performances.
I will pick out my favorite couples based on tonight, however:
Bianca Revels and Vict
or Smalley. Sure, it helped that Bianca and Victor were given a very strong Travis Wall contemporary dance, but separately, they seemed like entertaining individuals and I liked the way they come together. Victor was so cruelly cold to Bianca in the dance, especially compared to how goofy and colorful he seems offstage, that I see a lot of performance potential in him. As Adam Shankman put it, "That was your dance," and Nigel Lythgoe noted that at that point in the competition, they had the best connection of all the couples.Ellenore Scott and Ryan Di Llelo. They're a hot couple. I had basically already picked them out as the best-looking individuals in the competition, and now they're paired up and I have high hopes for them. I don't always like Sonya Tayeh dances as much as I would like to, and this was another example of a dance that I think really could have soared more and gone weirder, but I think we saw a great example of Ryan getting into a role and not being a ballroom guy. Meanwhile, I still love Ellenore's sexy quirkiness.
Kathryn McCormick and Legacy Perez. These two surprised me. I didn't take Legacy seriously because his name is "Legacy," and I didn't take Kathryn seriously because of all the high-pitched cry-talking last week. But Kathryn especially did a better job than I expected on Dave Scott's caveman hip-hop dance. This could be one of those cute petite fun couples that forms great chemistry as the season goes on. They rendered Mary Murphy pretty much incoherent too.
