I'll never forget the week, late in the season, when Nigel commented that every girl seems to dance at her best with Jakob -- well yes! Because he's a magnificent partner as well as dancer in his own right, duh! (As opposed to season-winning Russell, who injured at least 3 of his partners because, all the way to the end, he never learned how to partner. Am I bitter? Yes -- especially because Ashleigh didn't make it to the end because of Russell's incompetence.)
As much as I love Evan, I don't remember any incredibly special routines that he was in. Same with Melissa and Ade -- I loved them both, but because of their chemistry, not because of the choreography. Also Billy Bell -- I love Billy, but I don't remember any routine fully tapping into his strengths as a dancer.

I'm a huge Will Wingfield fan, so two of my favorites are his:
Silence -- Will and Jessica
andImagine -- Will and Katee
Then there's Jakob Karr -- honestly, I could post almost *all* of his routines as my favorites, but here are my top 3:
Tore My Heart -- Ellenore and Jakob
Relax -- Ashleigh and Jakob (and the cane)
And, last but definitely not least, their lyrical jazz number together

And then there's How It Ends (or what I like to call "Brokeback Mountain, the dance" with Kent and Neil . I love watching men dance together -- it's a completely different experience than the traditional boy + girl. I think I'll end this comment on that note. :)
