I got the chills twice during this episode.  The first was Caitlyn and Mitchell.  Their routine was about a girl trying to get out of a relationship but she just couldn’t get herself out.  Beautiful.  And I agree with Nigel that we are really lucky Mitchell got the chance to dance again.  Truly spectacular.

The next was Nappy Tabs soldier routine.  Oh man.  I’ve never had to deal with the pain of having a loved one in the military but I think about that a lot.  What would I do?  How would I survive not knowing from minute to minute if my husband was alive or injured or anything.  Just not knowing and I think Nappy Tab just showed us beautifully what a homecoming would feel like.  And Sasha and Alexander.  Wow.  What a great team.  They nailed it.

And speaking of Nappy Tab, I love, love, loved their woodpecker routine with Miranda and Robert.  I really just love Napoleon and Tabitha.  I just really love everything that they choreograph.

I’ve said many, many times that I do not like ballroom but I didn’t mind Jordan and Tadd’s.  But I think that’s just because it was Jordan and Tadd.  I like them both and think they’re both amazing.

Speaking of ballroom… Where’s Jean Marc’s wife?  She’s the redhead that’s always with him.  What happened to her?  I looked online but couldn’t find any gossip.

Since we didn’t see Mia Michaels again this week a did some more digging and found some horrifying news.  She’s left the show.  She wants to focus on her “artwork” which I seriously get but why can’t she at least do a little on the show?  I’m really bummed right now.  I thought she just gave up the judges seat and went back to choreography.  So very sad.  She was my absolute most definite favorite choreographer.  I still love some of the others but she was IT for me.  I will seriously miss her.

Oh yeah, and how cute was Debbie Reynolds.  Super adorable.
