Jim and Jessica – Contemporary with Dee Caspary – Heal by Tom Odell – Jim struggled learning the routine. This music is fantastic. I think he’s making more of a moment here than Edson did. He’s incredible. Jessica is incredible too. He’s invested in the routine. Fantastic job. I’m surprised the judges didn’t give that a standing O. Nigel thought it was a beautiful routine, and can’t fault Jim’s technique. He says his technique takes his breath away. He wants Jim to connect more, and have more chemistry with his partner. I thought he had more chemistry than Edson. Paula agrees, and says he’s truly magnificent. Jason tells him to throw the technique out, and just focus on the storyline. Depimping Jim? It’s happening. Paula says she really did enjoy it. RESULTS! Jim is already safe.

Jim’s Solo – You’re So Beautiful – He danced with Houston Ballet. He gets SO MUCH AIR in his solo. He could be a basketball player. Not my favorite solo, but it was really short. It felt shorter than the others for some reason.
