Judges Comments:
Nigel : I thought it was a fun routine to start off the show, good charcterization from Cole and Lindsay, it felt a little immature to me... I think you just gotta be careful that when you're playing a character like this, you really do need to be the vamp...
Mary: Lindsay, part of the show is acting and you gotta have to bring those acting skills to the table even more... I know you're a very strong dancer. Cole, you are a dancing machine and you are the nerd of all nerds tonight. It's good to see anothe character in you...
Adam: Lindsay, you have to attack it, just take a deeper investment in that character...
