Dancing With The Stars, Ep. 17.6

Round 1

Bill & Emma - Tango
The "Red Neck Tango", as Bill put it...haha! They were right...this music ("Cheeseburgers in Paradise" by Jimmy Buffet) just is not meant for a Tango. It was hard to judge this because the music just didn't make it seem like a Tango. I think he did a good job with what he was given...but it was all just a bit weird.
Score: 23 (+1=24)

Elizabeth & Val - ChaCha
I think there was way too much filler at the beginning with her at the bar. But once she finally joined Val, it was all smokin' hot! Being a taller woman, sometimes the ChaCha just looks awkward, but she pulled it off very well. She had lots of hip action and her chemistry with Val has never been better.
Score: 30! (+2=32) 1st perfect score of the season!

Leah & Tony - Quickstep
I think she really "stepped" it up a notch this week. Tony put in some pretty aggressive choreography that she would not have been able to do even a couple weeks ago. It was very fast the entire way through, and it didn't look like she missed a step.
Score: 27 (+1=28)

Brant & Peta - Tango
Wow, does he look good in all black tonight! Was it just me or did it seem like he was trying to keep up with Peta a little bit, almost to the point where he looked off-balance? I don't think he seemed 100% sure of himself. He looked great, I just hope the judges liked the hold and steps. I think he looked strong, though, so it could be better than I think.
Score: 28 (+3=31) (10 from Len!)

Amber & Derek - Samba
I just gotta say it...Derek looked so hot tonight! Not that he doesn't every week, buy my goodness...hello abs! I think Amber did an amazing job at this extremely hard dance! It was such a fast and hard dance, and she kept up every step of the way. This was so much better than her last couple of dances. Like, SO MUCH BETTER!
Score: 28 (+4=32) (10s from Carrie Ann and Bruno and an 8 from Len...so harsh for being repetitive?!)

Jack & Cheryl - Paso Doble
I think he will do well with the power, but I think he might have to work on the Latin elements. How so appropriate for them to be dancing to "Conquest" by White Stripes. He's always reminded me of Jack White (not to mention the same first name). Jack absolutely killed it! That was so good!
Score: 25 (+2=27)

Nicole & Sasha - Foxtrot
This is one of her first classic ballroom routines and I think she did so good! It was really cute! Because she's so little, she really floated across the floor.
Score: 27 (+3=30)

Corbin & Karina - Viennese Waltz
They are dancing to the theme song of Game of Thrones. To say Corbin is excited, is an understatement! And those costumes! Whoa! That is some makeup Corbin has on! You don't see costumes like that every day for a Waltz. Whoa, and he turned around and he has a ponytail! OK, onto the dancing. It was amazing! Not your normal Waltz, that's for sure. But it was so much more entertaining than most Waltzes! His form was amazing, especially on the last spins they did.
Score: 23 (+4 =27)

Round 2
Switch-up challenge: the dancers have to completely improvise the dance. 4 couples dance on the floor at the same time and the music will keep switching! They won't know what songs will play ahead of time, and there is no set dance style. The last couple standing will get 4 bonus points, 3 points, and so on with 1 point for the first one tapped out.

They all draw paddles with a 1 or a 2 to determine who dances against who.

Group 1:
4 points--Corbin & Karina
3 points--Nicole & Sasha
2 points--Jack & Cheryl
1 point--Bill & Emma

Group 2:
4 points--Amber & Derek
3 points--Brant & Peta
2 points--Elizabeth & Val
1 point--Leah & Tony

Going Home:
Everyone is safe this week! No one is going home...because incorrect phone numbers were shown at the end of last week's show. So to be fair, everyone is safe.
