Wow, guys, that was compelling.

I'm impressed. The routine was really good.

‐ I can honestly say...

improvement from the last one definitely.

‐ Yeah, this was better than the first one,

so well done for that 'cause that's exactly

what a callback's all about, right?

‐ Yeah. ‐ I gotta be honest‐‐

I like you in front.

Like, I was paying attention to the whole thing,

but I feel like everything kicked up

once you took center stage. ‐ Thank you.

‐ And mind you, taking nothing from anyone else.

Everybody has their own strengths,

but I feel like when you're in the front,

the energy kicks up. ‐ Thank you.

‐ That's an important note he just said

because if we think about the groups that really did well

like S‐Rank or The Lab,

there's always a couple that stay in the front.

Everybody else supports the team.

And yes, we all get to see you at some point,

but you always want the energy,

whoever carries the energy of the group, up front and center.

Quarterback of a football team. ‐ Yeah.

You don't switch the quarterback every week.

‐ Okay, there was opportunity for a grand situation,

and it was kind of small.

Like where the wave went this way, and it ended with...

[clicks tongue] And I was like, "Mm..."

That could've been so much more.

That was an opportunity for something a little bigger.

I think it's much better than the first one.

There's still some room to grow.

‐ Here's the thing‐‐ when we're choreographing,

I'm sure you guys do this, but it's about, like,

beating your ideas.

So it's like when you do something,

you gotta ask yourself as a unit, as a team,

you go like, "Yo, is that the best choice we got?"

‐ For sure. Yeah. ‐ "Or can we do better?"

You leave everything

out there... ‐ Mm‐hmm.

‐ Until you have nothing left in your arsenal,

and you're like‐‐ then if you make it through,

you go, "Okay, now we have to figure something else out."

‐ Yeah.

‐ Yeah, you can't, like, reserve stuff.

‐ Yeah, don't hold it back.

‐ That's the only way you improve.

‐ Don't wait till next time.

There might not be a next time. ‐ You might not get it.

‐ Right. ‐ Might not get it.

‐ But with that said, I think the choreography,

I think your guys' execution was really solid, really good.

‐ Yeah, you nailed at your routine today.

‐ Thank you, thank you so much.

‐ We're gonna put four people through today,

so hopefully you guys will be one of them.

‐ You have to put your ego aside,

That's what it is. ‐ Yep.

‐ We left it all out there,

both: Hey. ‐ Nice.

‐ Whoo. [applause]

‐ All right, all right. ‐ Very cool, ladies.

I found you to be much stronger dancers this time

than I did last time.

‐ A lot better than the first one.

‐ I feel that your routines

need a little bit more surprises.

But even with that,

I feel like you guys are very strong dancers.

I'm still not sure.

‐ From a standpoint of paying attention to the fact

that there are literally ten other acts here,

and only four are going through, you know what I mean?

So it's like really fine‐tooth comb time,

if you know what I mean.

‐ For me, I thought you guys started strong.

When it started, I was like, "Okay,

here we go, Show Stoppers."

‐ And even some stuff towards the end felt really strong.

‐ Yeah, but again, I think for me, I think what it is,

it was like the groove was here,

and I felt like everything stayed in that pocket.

But like she said,

you guys danced better and stronger today.

You guys, as dancers, are great.

‐ All right, well, then we'll see you guys in a minute.

‐ Thank you. ‐ Yes, thank you.

‐ Thanks, ladies. ‐ Good job.

‐ Good job, guys.

We did everything that we possibly could,

and I think we did a great performance.

Right now, we're just trying to focus on the now,

and stay positive, and see what the outcome is,

and that's all we could do.

[vocalizing]

And I felt like I wasn't feeling

what the music was doing in what you guys were dancing.

I don't know.

I'm a little on the fence with this one.

‐ The energy was amazing, it was a much better routine

than you did the other day.

I felt like we saw you each a little bit more,

so I got to see the dancing a little bit more,

which was nice.

I don't know if you're all the way up to par

with everybody else, but I really enjoyed it.

‐ I mean, there was some energies that were

up here the whole time,

and other energies that dipped a little.

I need everybody's energy to match hers.

I feel like she thinks, like, his job

is to ruin every moment of her life.

to make sure that anything my sister did

was sabotaged by me.
