I am rooting for Russell. Being a street /krump dancer with no formal training he is amazingly talented. I feel this show originally seemed to be a format for dancers we would not ordinrarly get to see because of perhaps their lack of resources. There is no doubt Jakob is awesome, but he has had training and opportunities someone like Russell or Legacy will probably never get. Whether or not Jakob wins, he will have a career in dancing. But Russell is what this show is all about. Someone with so much incredible talent finally being seen & recognized for their amazing talent, getting the opportunity to change his life and live his dream through his passion, dance. He is being made to do ballroom, jazz and lyrical. But the other dancers aren't having to do Krump. And hip hop and Krump are two completely different styles. So for Russell, the bar for him has been raised extremely high and he has stepped up to it each and every time. That bar, for him, is an incredible reach, where as that same bar for Jakob is not. So ultimately Russell is blowing his competition away. Including Jakob. He truly deserves this win and I hope he gets it. He is really what this show is all about
