Highest score will get immunity from the instant dance-off. If there's a tie, they will look at cumulative scores to break the tie.
Terra & Sasha - ChaCha
Theme: Beetlejuice
It started out way slow for a chacha, and not much chacha going on. Once they got off the table, it picked up, but just slightly. I would say this was just "meh". Not real exciting, not really even that entertaining. I think it was the song. Totally agree with Carrie Ann.
Score: 24
Laurie & Val - Viennese Waltz
Theme: Willy Wonka
This should be really fun! This dance really was like a fairytale. Val did a great job bringing it to life. She was cute and adorable as always. It was really beautiful. Val was just about in tears at the end of it, just like he was in the rehearsal. This dance made him so emotional, because she is so good. Too adorable.
Score: 30
Marilu & Derek - Argentine Tango
Theme: Spiders/Spiderwebs
I love the "Sweet Dreams" and the set with the dancers using the bands like a web. Very cool! I really didn't want to like this because I'm ready for her to go home. Her footwork is way too slow and calculated. I think it needs to be a LOT sharper. Whoa, that was a big mess up! She was supposed to put her arm back around his head and she whacked him in the face! Yikes! It looked like something you would mess up in rehearsals. It totally threw her off and she didn't know what to do. There were a few other mistakes as well. She had a couple good weeks, and then last week was a major bump in the road. This didn't do much to get back in the groove. She is so in her head, I think. I'm sorry Derek, but I think she's done. He said he worked with her more last week than he has with any other partner and it wasn't great, and she didn't know why.
Score: 23
Calvin & Lindsay - Quickstep
Theme: Skeletons
I love his makeup and costume, it's fantastic! With the lights out, they really did look like dancing skeletons at times! This was such a fast quickstep. Lindsay didn't hold anything back. He continues to keep growing, just when you think he can't get any better. And those white teeth! They just glowed as usual, but looked so funny with him as a skeleton. Another great, fun dance. He's a contender, for sure!
Score: 30
Ryan & Cheryl - Tango
Theme: Maleficent
Cheryl was tough this week: Cheryl's house of pain! I think that's good...I think she can whip him into shape. He has been an underdog since day 1, and he's worked so hard to get this far. I hope they can really give him some good scores this week. I love the song, they're dancing to - it's perfect. His frame seems to be really strong and firm. I loved the slowed down part where they kind of dragged their feet..that was really cool. I think he did a great job, it was so fun! Ugh...they just always have something to pick on him for!
Score: 23
Jana & Gleb - Jazz
Theme: Little Shop of Horrors
Oh, Gleb...I just love him. He's so cute! Look at him in those glasses! Totes adorbs! What a fun routine! Her splits were amazing! Gleb's wasn't so bad either! One of her best routines yet! (Although nothing will beat their shower dance.)
Score: 27
James & Jenna - Viennese Waltz
Theme: Suicide Squad
Update: Sharna's knee injury is preventing her from dancing this week...and possibly for the rest of the competition :( We see that she slipped on her dress in rehearsals last week. She had reconstruction on the knee previously, and she felt something go. This is just so sad! She has a chance to win this season with James. No offense to Jenna, whom I love, but this was her first year as a pro, and she's been given arguably the best dancer in the competition. That is a lot of pressure! I'm not so sure that she is up to the task. Luckily, James is amazing and I'm sure he will be able to transition and work with her just as well as with Sharna. But I'm going to miss them dancing together. I hope she can come back, because I am dying to see their finale dances!
Great song for this - Grace's "You Don't Own Me". He looks amazing in that makeup. His character just continues to shine through, even with all the makeup. He brings all of his characters to life, so amazingly. He looks just like the Joker. I could watch him all day. I don't think he was quite as emotionally connected with Jenna as he would have been with Sharna, but that's totally understandable. It was still really amazing.
Score: 30
