I loved it! What a prince! I thought his dance was wonderful and it was so good to see him again.
I agree, I don't think his suit looked good on him, but I definitely think he looked good on the suit. Forgive me if that makes no sense, but he could work a potato sack.
It was great to see him try newer moves I've only so far seen on season 6. I realize the musical guest had to have some airtime, but I do wish the camera could have stayed on them.
There was only one part that came across to my eyes as awkward: When she was on the floor and he was pulling her in a circle. Even to my untrained eye it would have looked better one handed instead of two. With the right wrist hold I think he could have done it. Fortunately we got an arial view which helped keep it from looking like he was dragging a bag of feed out of a barn. Please don't throw things at me! **ducks**
That aside, everything else came across to my eyes as lovely. Well worth the wait and a beautiful treat for a Tuedsay night.
Thank you Helio for saying such nice things about our boy and giving them reason to replay some of that perfect Paso.
The top ten dances: How the classic A/J Samba didn't make it I'll never know. How their one dance that did make it fell so low in the count I don't get either.
Fun to see Joey (dude... your hair) and Ian although they didn't talk to him. Good to see dances from seasons 1 - 3 that I never saw before. Still don't get all the fuss over Drew and Cheryl's freestyle. I mean it was good, but he didn't exactly "Bust A Move".
And Apolo is SO rooting for Kristi. He tried not to come right out and say it, but that's his girl and he wants her to win.

Also, many thanks, Pookie, TDav & aaosmts19 for posting the pics.

but I loved the dance- it was beautiful! Definitely made my day! 
Did anyone else think Julianne's dress looked familiar, like she'd worn it in a previous dance?! Or was that just me? It was pretty but I swear I saw it before on her. They looked soooo good! Yay I am a happy girl this morning!
Do you think when they did the circle two-handed that it was an issue of strength? I mean, he was pulling her pretty fast, so there had to be a lot of centrifugal force there. And maybe if your hands are sweaty from nerves it's hard to hold on? I still loved the whole routine. It's too bad they only had a couple of hours to practice. It would have been really awesome with a little more polish. I wish THAT had been their freestyle last year. 
...especially knowing that it could be his final dwts performance 
Were they trying to make him look like he was in his video game costume (which, by the way, at least fit him better- even if it was - to quote Lori GND- "comeon! Fuscia, ya'll??!!!".... LOL)
