Also something that strikes me as odd. When the bottom vote-getter dancers have to come back and "dance for their lives" what we see on TV is them coming back onstage about 2 minutes later in a complete costume change and dancing a 30-second routine, some of which are really complex. Do they make ALL the dancers prepare a 30-second routine or are they really dancing on the fly after a very quick costume change? Does anyone know?

i watched an interview with a couple of the contestants. They ALL have to prepare a solo just in case. It should be something they have choreographed and practiced. We all remember how upset Nigel was with Ben and that other guy because they didn't put any work into it, they just came out and free styled.
