Which celebrity got the pink slip from Dancing With the Stars, and who managed to eke a small victory in the form of advancing to the next stage of ABC’s tired dancing series?
With the likes of Heather Morris, Simone Biles and Rashad Jennings continuing to prove they may know a thing, or ten about dancing, which of the other people left the ballroom for good?
The best performance of the night was definitely Rashad Jennings and Emma Slater. Dancing to “Unconditionally” by Katy Perry, the duo emerged from the shadow of Heather Morris, and it was great.
Contemporary week, or not, this was a fantastic performance. The judges seemed to collectively agree that the duo is becoming a force on the dance floor and that the others should, like, go home because Rashad is getting the win.
Of course, we’re kidding about that last part, but seriously, they scored 39/40, which is almost a perfect score. Emma and Rashad were robbed of that one point!
Simone Biles and Sasha Farber were close to the top spot, but their performance of “Good, Good Father” by Chris Tomlin was another solid performance.
You would think that these people had already been dancing for many years before. Wait… Heather Morris has that going for her. That’s what made it pretty surprising her performance hit a lull.
That said, hitting a lull in a performance for Heather still means a score of 35/40. She and Alan went with “Shup Up and Dance” by Walk the Moon. Let’s just say her performances are becoming rather predictable.
This could be attributed to Maksim Chmerkovskiy’s continued leave of absence from the series due to an injury. If Heather and Alan do not change things up next week, it could signal the end of her their time in the competition.
It’s crazy how a few weeks and a change of partner can change things, but that appears to be what’s happening here. Maybe Heather can hit up Beyoncè on the videophone for some coaching.
Normani Kordei and Valentin Chmerkovskiy continued to be on par with their earlier performances, but they really should be taking all the feedback on board and adapting by this point in the competition.
Scoring 32/40, they are going to be the bottom of the pack before they know it with the other people falling left, right and center.
Nick and Peta tried to jump on the Ed Sheeran bandwagon, by dancing to “Shape of You.” It was good, but it was also very flawed, and the judges picked up on it.
They scored 30/40.
Nancy Kerrigan and Artem Chigvintsev hit all the right moves to wind up with a cool 33/40.
Let’s talk about Mr. T. His performance with Kym Herjavec seemed like an audition. There was nothing to it. It was flawed and just horrible to watch.
They scored just 28/40.
After having a lot of comments about her performances, Erika Jayne opted for “Express Yourself” by Madonna. It was a great way to give the middle finger to the naysayers, but it was not the best performance of the night.
They scored 30/40.
Bonner Bolton and Sharna Burgess continued their display of PDA in dancing form. Seriously, there’s a connection, and it’s not just when Bonner’s hand has a mind of its own.
They scored 32/40.
By the end of the night, Mr. T and Erika Jayne were in danger, but Erika danced her way into next week.
