Last week’s DWTS might’ve been fun, but the loss of Olympia Valance was a shock to all. However, this week the couple on top got immunity, which means they were safe from elimination. Then came the dance off that changed everything. Also, this week Grant cannot host the show because he slipped a disc in his back, so Amanda had eliminated contestant Denise Scott as her co-host.
1. Michelle and Aric
Michelle’s routine this week is Quickstep. The dance looks like fun! And it seems very fluent in the movement. Sharna loved the performance. She said Michelle was living her best life. Craig criticised everything, especially the footwork. However, Tristan applauded every element of the performance.
Michelle’s score is: 22
2. Jett and Lily
Foxtrot is Jett’s next dance. They even went to Morgan, Jett’s sister, for advice. Jett’s footwork looked a little clumpy against Lily’s gentleness. Craig criticised that the dance was tango than Foxtrot. Tristan disagreed with Craig on everything, resulting in an almost argument between the two judges. However, Sharna appreciated everything Jett and Lily did with the dance.
Jett’s score is: 17
3. Jimmy and Alex
Jimmy’s dance this week is Foxtrot. Jimmy’s had less time to rehearse this week, showing a little bit. However, he’s fighting the fatigue and soldiering through it. Tristan loved Jimmy’s frame but
Jimmy’s score is: 22
4. Curtly and Siobhan
Curtly’s Jive this week gives him the chance to have a bit of freedom. Curtly’s large frame makes it hard for him to move his feet and body fast enough. However, he gave it his all. Sharna said it was a complicated dance for him and that it was flat-footed. Craig said it was very light, but it wasn’t great. Tristan said Curtly had worked on his hip work and that he has rhythm in his upper half but not the bottom.
Curtly’s score is: 9
5. Constance and Gustavo
Constance is dancing the Jive. Con embraces the dance as she feels like she’s in control of her character’s destiny; however, it is a little slow when the dance is supposed to be fast. Craig said the leg was supposed to tease, and her footwork was a little flat. Tristan loved the lifts but said they looked slow and laboured. Sharna said she loved that Constance showed that women are done with the slut-shaming.
Constance’s score is: 15
6. Samuel and Jorja
Sam’s dance is Jazz, and he’s struggling to handle all the dances he needs to do. However, he looked like he was having a lot of fun with the dance as it told a personal story. Tristan was impressed by the performance and thought it was perfect. Sharna said Sam was back with the number and expressed his commitment to the dance was raw, and everyone felt it. Craig didn’t love it initially, but he grew to like it and said he did very well.
Samuel’s score is: 26
7. Courtney and Joshua
Courtney’s dance this week is contemporary. As always, Courtney crushed it and got a standing ovation. Sharna said she was speechless, and the storytelling was so raw. Craig said he loved it as he saw Shane and not Courtney dancing. Tristan loved every second of it.
Courtney’s score is: 28
