Nigel Lythgoe: This is the first time we've had two guys do a samba for us. Um ... I don't really know what to say. It was a bit like watching Will Farrell in Blades of Glory, really. And certainly at the end where you both fell on your asses ... Um ... your styles were good, if I just stick with the dancing. I think you probably alienate a lot of our audience.

I mean, we've always had the guys dance together on the show, but they've never really done it in each other's arms before. I'm certainly one of those people that really like to see guys be guys and girls be girls on stage. I don't think I liked it, to be frank. But if we just keep it down to your dancing rather than you dancing together in this style, I thought you were both -- good. And strong. So thank you for coming and sharing a first with us.

Mary Murphy: This is the first time, honestly, for me to see it. I'm confused, because I see that sometimes you're both being the female role and sometimes the male, so, like, and then sometimes you'll do the trick and then he does it, too. So it confuses me.

Misha (one of the dancers): When we switch back and forth, it makes the whole dance a little bit more difficult, since we go back and forth between lead and follow.

Mitchel (the other dancer): To show the strength of follow and lead.

MM: Right. Which I can see. And you guys did lead and follow really well, I have to say. The technique, actually, still needs a lot of work. It was hard for me to even kind of focus on that technique, 'cause I was still just trying to figure out ... It would have been easier for me, in other words, if, if one person was playing the female role and one was playing the male role.

NL: Well, I don't think you want to see two guys there and think, "Male female."

Sonya Tayeh: OK, but what do you do with the feminine qualities of it?

Nigel: Well, that is what is, that is, that's my hang-up.

Misha: How is that feminine?

(crosstalk, can't transcribe)

ST: I'm saying that in the genre that I've seen, when I see this approach (gesturing), which, I usually see it from the female perspective. Does that make sense?

Misha: Yes.

ST: That's what I'm looking at -- (to Mary) I'm sorry, I keep touching you (laughter) -- I'm seeing this. (Gesturing)

NL: Same-sex judging! (Laughter)

ST: I relate more to it as a female. So I just get confused. You guys are both amazing, and the movement quality, but I was just confused in terms of the, the classical form. That's all.

NL: Do you know what? I'd like to see you both dancing with a girl.

MM: I would, too.

ST: Me, too.

NL: You never know. You might enjoy that! (Smirking) All right, see you later.
