Randi, who rocks the unitard, is paired with Evan. She talks about how she's a country girl, and the lights and the makeup and all that are very surreal to her. I'm suspicious of people who have to tell you how country they are. I mean, shouldn't Randi be dancing at a hoedown if she's that country? Broadway dancer Evan reminds us that he auditioned with his brother, and it was "bittersweet" to see his brother go home, but he's excited to get to work.
Oh no! Another Tyce piece! They're doing a jazz routine. "The piece is both physically and I would say emotionally demanding," says Evan. Randi talks about how she's married (closeup of the rock on her left hand while her hand's on Evan's back), and it's really tough for her pretend that she's in love with Evan when she's married, like GROW UP, it's called ACTING, and Evan apologizes in advance to Randi's husband, and Evan's worried because he doesn't know how big the guy is.
So they dance to "I Only Have Eyes For You" by Jamie Cullum, in blue shadows. There's a lot of running together and pulling apart, and it's emotional and everything, although the feeling seems to run out midway through the routine and it kind of looks to me like they were concentrating just to hit the steps. Evan does better as a partner then I think I expected, and lefts Randi up onto his shoulder and turns around at one point, and the piece ends with the two of them collapsed in each other's arms on the stage.
Cat asks Randi if her husband's there tonight, and he's not, so Evan's safe for now, apparently. Evan's brothers are there, both Ryan, and his other brother, who, hilariously, actually has on a T-shirt that says "The Other Brother" on it.
Adam points out that despite the fact the two of them are "vertically challenged" -- they are, indeed, dwarfed by Cat -- their lines went on forever and they danced like they're eight feet tall. Adam praises Evan: "No one saw you coming," he says, adding that he doesn't think that there's a dance style that Evan couldn't conquer. Oh, and it's one of the best pieces Tyce has ever done, apparently.
Mary says when they left Las Vegas, the two of them were "at the end of the pack" for her. But "the stars have just come out tonight," she says, and then she screams, and as usual, as soon as she screeches, I stop hearing anything she says -- or anything else -- for about thirty seconds, which is usually enough to take care of anything else she needs to say.
