6. Allison & Ivan's Contemporary
Season 2, Top 12, July 12, 2006
After this performance, judge Nigel Lythgoe apologized to Allison for not spending more time lauding her consistently fluid, expressive work, because for him the whole number was about Ivan. The baby-faced B-boy barely stumbled through a salsa in his first week, so watching his fluid, expressive work in this Tyce Diorio routine a mere three weeks later was indeed literally like watching the boy transform into a man right before our eyes. Of course, it was easy to forget that Ivan wouldn't have looked nearly as good without a peerless partner like Allison — which is perhaps why Ivan ultimately lasted one week longer than her on the show.
