It’s a visual feast of sparkles, fringe, and flesh. Ready to go down the rabbit hole? Behold this bountiful smattering of Visible Gems!

MVG (MOST VALUABLE GEM): Get. OUT!

“Right after Team Apolo’s dance, there was a camera man behind Apolo. He fled as soon as he realized he was in the shot!” –Unenthusiastic Bongo Man, endorsed by avab, CoolWhipLite, Fresh, Tay, AlJavabooknut, Alise, orville, Anthony

Front-row staple Jamie Lee Curtis was absent at one point (perhaps off to reap the benefits of having taken the Activia challenge), but then during Brandy and Maks’ dance, she had to recoil when they got too close to the edge. –TEAM FRINGE: CoolWhipLite, Aggie, Anna Banana, Julia, Lisa Simpson, Lorie, avab, Justin K, jamie0415, LDS

“Sharon Osbourne’s ‘I have to sit near THIS guy again’ glare during the Hoff’s introduction.” –Mr. Holloway, endorsed by Katie

“Little Louie Vito behind Big Bad Donny Osmond.” –Grumpa, endorsed by CoolWhipLite, Mavis, LDS, jessica4878, Joan Holloway, dally, orville

“Evan trying to lean as close to Erin/away from creepy Jake as possible. –Jen, endorsed by Lorie, Jenn, MsDaisy, Tango2, JH, Zoot Suit, Peggy Olson
“Ugh, I had a tragic moment involving Jake last night. The camera cut to him for a split second during Bristol’s critique, and I was only half paying attention, but in that instant I would have sworn that it was Mark Pellegrino and I was all “OMG HIDDEN GEM, CALL DOC JENSEN!!! Jacob is in the audience and someone on that show is a Candidate!!” And then I thought about it later, and realized that this person I thought was Jacob was sitting next to Evan, and I remembered who had been pictured next to Evan earlier…and I died a little inside as I realized that it was not Jacob, but Jake Effing Pavelka. No offense to Mark Pellegrino intended with this mix-up. I guess it was just the light hair and the angle of the face that looked similar to a person who had just been discussing the Lost finale with her sister earlier in the day.” –Katja

“Len’s constipated face and body stance when Drew was giving his opinion on the tango.” –orville, endorsed by LP, iggy

And then after the next commercial break, DREW was the one who had to sit still at the little kids’ table while the grown-ups busted a move! –EW.com’s Fringe Fairy
“It looks like Carrie Ann is holding/fist bumping a taco.” –Nate

Sometimes Len’s Pimp Daddy DNCMSTR hat (donated by Rick) sent off EXTREME SPARKLE! –EW.com’s Fringe Fairy, JH, Lindy, glenn

“Kurtanna shirt – so cute!” –Lisa Simpson, endorsed by JH

“Jennifer sneakingly trying to steal the Mirrorball Trophy while sitting in the Celebriquarium with Brandy” –LAG Award Winner, endorsed by Susan, Anthony, and Manda….but EW.com’s Fringe Fairy thinks the real hidden gem here is Brandy’s side-eye.

“Team Apolo touching their real/imaginary soul patches” –Amy in Pittsburgh, Stephanie, Manda, queue55, glenn

“Prince Shimmer was rather enthusiastic tonight.” –avab, endorsed by orville, duranmom, LAG Award Winner

“They weren’t so hidden, but Kyle’s drawn-on abs were hilarious!” –JH, endorsed by Niki, Anthony, Manda, Ayn, Peggy Olson

“Tony’s hot eyebrow moves at the camera after the group dance” –Amy in Pittsburgh, denied by Karen: “Isn’t the hot eyebrow wipe Maks’ move? Love it. Nobody else can get away with it and get something for it.”

“During Team Apolo’s Cha Cha, Anna & Brandy’s harem pants were split on the sides and Jenn’s pants were not — therefore resulting in Jen’s hidden gems/gams!”–Kaye, endorsed by gigi

“Bristol’s TOTAL Snooki face during her solo with Mark during the team dance” –Amy in Pittsburgh, endorsed by jillyb

“Check out Mark laughing his butt off in the background when Kyle said Maks moves like a flowing flag (to me Kyle is actually channeling Han Solo with that outfit rather than Maks… ” –Giggling Ballas, endorsed by John

“Bruno’s floppy ‘Oh, darling please!’ hand at the very end of Kurt & Anna’s critique.” –Aurora, endorsed by Chappel

“After Brandy and Maks’ dance, they showed Louie Vito in the crowd and his hair was perfectly styled as an Oompa Loompa.” –Robyn, endorsed by Tracy

“The woman in the front row with the mac and chesse powder orange dress. ” –Daphne, endorsed by Kevin M. Kawa and jones (who aptly called it orange sherbet!)

Are you ready for complete and utter HIDDEN GEM INSANITY???????!

LIFE-AFFIRMING GEM (LAG)

“At the very opening scene of rehearsal for the Apolo group dance, Brandy throws her arms around Maks’s shoulder the EXACT SAME WAY Erin was standing w/ Maks before Season 10′s group dance rehearsal. I remember this b/c I submitted EA and Maks for a gem last season about it. Annie, go check the photo in Hidden Gems last season and then compare. SO very odd.” –MNBonnie
