Two of our Top 14 dancers earned the ultimate accolade from visiting Queen of Scream, Mary Murphy, but one dancer left her “cold” – despite getting a standing ovation from the studio audience.

Kat and Talia were the lucky dancers singled out by the SYTYCD America judge to board the Hot Tamale Express.

Ben & Pania’s opening was “sheer genius”, Danny “won her over” and Penny & Charlie “created a dream-like state”. Gianne & BJ would have been on that train too but for some synch errors. Loredo’s salsa got the crowd stomping but Mary said it left her “a little bit cold”. Who will make Top 12? Have your say – and vote!!!

However, they’d “lost unison” in places and he encouraged Damien to bring more control to his performance. “But, nice work, both of you”.

2 Lamb & Timomatic – Eternally connected by Dana Jolly

Lamb and Timomatic had something to prove last week and lifted themselves out of the Bottom 3. This week they were again out of genre in a Co
