The production team that we have and creative team is so good at what they do. The Knockturnal: Is there anything new that will be happening with the stage or the setup on set?ĭerek Hough: You know just constantly upping the game. It lets them come back and battle it out and whoever win that redemption round goes through. There’s been times where I’ve been devastated that we lost an act so this round brings back the top two scoring people that were knocked out. This round is so exciting because in the past we’ve lost really great acts in the duels because if two acts that are great go head to head and you don’t wanna lose either of them but we end up having to lose one. My favorite part though is the redemption round. It’s 85 and above now instead of just 80 for the first round which is a lot more difficult and it means there’s less people that get through. The Knockturnal: Speaking of scores, I know you guys raised the bar up a bit was there a particular reason for that?ĭerek Hough: Yeah just raising the stakes you know. The score starts to reveal itself you know versus it just being based off of emotions. The Knockturnal: With so many dances that you guys see what is it about a particular dance that makes you go okay this is it.ĭerek Hough: When we’re able to go wow that was amazing and then be like actually the technique wasn’t as strong as we had hoped. There’s just so many different elements that when you see it you go ah that’s the one. What is going to give us that reaction but also a great technique, the musicality, the choreography is also so important and the execution. How are you going to surprise us and how are you going to take our breath away. So we’re looking for innovation, we’ve seen a lot now, so something that we haven’t seen before. There’s some people that I know who are amazing dancers but they might not have had a great performance. You know there’s so many different elements that play into a great performance. What is something that you as a judge look out for along with Ne-Yo and J-Lo, what do you guys look out for in competitors?ĭerek Hough: That’s the thing, you can be the most talented dancer but if you have the wrong choreography or the wrong song or even just the structure of the routine. The Knockturnal: Everyone that is on the show is already so talented.
