Wow, a very emotional night. Tamar was taken to the hospital during rehearsal. Would she make it back in time to dance? Who would go home? Busy schedules, pros doubting themselves…it’s the week of everyone at a high-stress level! Here’s the breakdown of the couples:
Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold
Dance: Salsa
Phone Number: 855-234-5601
- I found this dance very awkward and uncomfortable to watch. I like Alek but it might be his week to go. He’s too stiff for a Salsa. On the positive side, he looked good.
Score: Carrie Ann-8, Julianne-8, Bruno-8- Total: 24
Alexa PenaVega and Mark Ballas
Dance: Contemporary
Phone Number: 855-234-5602
- I found this an eerily beautiful dance. It showed a very vulnerable side of Alexa. The dance was very passionate and scary. The story was clear and strong.
Score: Carrie Ann-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10- Total: 30
Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson
Dance: Argentine Tango
Phone Number: 855-234-5605
- It was good, but it didn’t have a wow factor. I agree with Carrie Ann that it didn’t do Carlos justice. It didn’t come across as passionate.
Score: Carrie Ann-9, Julianne-9, Bruno-9- Total: 27
Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough
Dance: Viennese Waltz
Phone Number: 855-234-5604
- After a tough week in rehearsals, Bindi and Derek danced incredibly. Everything about this dance was breathtaking.
Score: Carrie Ann-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10- Total: 30
Tamar Braxton and Val Chmerkovskiy
Dance: Contemporary
Phone Number: 855-234-5612
- Because Tamar was rushed to the hospital the judges had to critique the dress rehearsal she and Val did earlier in the day. It’s in the rules. I wish she could have danced during the show because it could have been epic.
Score: Carrie Ann-8, Julianne-7, Bruno-7- Total: 22
Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess
Dance: Quickstep
Phone Number: 855-234-5610
- I so enjoy Nick. He really has a chance to go all the way. I thought this Quickstep was upbeat and fun.

- And how nice of the rest of the Backstreet Boys to be in the audience to support their boy.
Score: Carrie Ann-9, Julianne-9, Bruno-10- Total: 28
SHOWSTOPPER TEAM UP CHALLENGE:
Team #1: Carlos & Witney and Alek & Lindsay
Dance: Paso Doble
Inspiration: We Will Rock You
I thought the dance was little flat for what it was supposed to be. The two guys could have been stronger. It was a bit of out of sync as Carrie Ann said.
Score: Carrie Ann-8, Julianne-8, Bruno-8- Total: 24
Team #2: Bindi & Derek and Alexa & Mark
Dance: Charleston
Inspiration: Chicago- “All that Jazzâ€
It was definitely a showstopper! They were together and I thought I was watching a new version of Chicago. What a perfect team!
Score: Carrie Ann-10, Julianne-10, Bruno-10- Total: 30
Team #3- Nick & Sharna and Tamar & Val
Dance: Rumba
Inspiration: The Beatles Love- “Hey Judeâ€
I can’t believe that Tamar was in the hospital earlier in the day and then she was able to pull out all the stops for this dance. It was pretty incredible.
Score: Carrie Ann-9, Julianne-9, Bruno-9- Total: 27
Now for the elimination. The first couple safe: Bindi & Derek. The next couple safe: Nick & Sharna. The third couple staying in the competition: Alek & Lindsay. The fourth couple safe: Tamar & Val.

Both Carlos & Witney and Alexa & Mark were in jeopardy. It was sad that One-half of the married couple would be going home.

The eliminated couple: Alexa & Mark. I don’t agree with this at all. It doesn’t seem right.
