Len: He needs a bit more polish, but it was entertaining.

FIHH: Wait—they started in the middle of the dance with no intro package or anything. I don’t get the construction workers in the dance, but it worked. It was one hot performance!
Len: She is a great dancer, but he wants more salsa.
Bruno: He screams over how much he liked it.
Carrie Ann: She is fantastic and always sticks it.

FIHH: They seemed to struggle and butt heads this week, but he certainly improved from last week. I am loving the fact that he sees her as a teammate rather than a coach. That lift really made the dance come together….so amazing!
Bruno: It was good, but a bit shaky.
Carrie Ann: She feels like something was off tonight.
Nick: He is a fighter and this is his best work.
Len: He senses his frustration, but thinks he did a marvelous job.

Nick: He is at elite level.
Len: It was a proper tango.
Nick: He nailed it.
Bruno: It was strong and driven.

Nick: It was his favorite dance of the night.
Len: It was a knockout dance.
Bruno: Stunning and amazing.
Carrie Ann: Her best dance.
Scores: PERFECT SCORE!!!
Time for the team dances. Team Boy Band vs. Team Girl Group. The team that is safe is Boy Band, which had David and Lindsay, Bonner and Sharna, Nick and Peta and Rashad and Emma are safe. Everyone else is in jeopardy and—I’m sorry? What? None of them really deserve to be eliminated at this point, but again—what?
Each team will have each couple do a solo.
Team Boy Band channeled Magic Mike, which was HOT! It then turned into a boy band concert, which was quite entertaining.
The judges loved it and gave them a 33 out of 40. This will be added to their scores.
Girl Group channeled a slumber party turned sexy, which was interesting. They received a 34 out of 40, which will be added to their final scores.
Results!
Simone and Sasha and Normani and Val are called safe, which left Heather and Maks and Nancy and Artem in the bottom two.
The couple eliminated is….Heather and Maks.
Movie night next week! Stay tuned!
