For the first time this season, the couple with the highest score from their solo dance will be granted immunity from elimination next week and will also receive 3 additional points. For the first time ever, each of the six couples that do not receive immunity will then be paired up to compete in a head-to-head dance-off to be voted on by America in real-time on www.ABC.com and the three judges. The couple with the majority of the four potential votes from each dance-off will earn an extra 2 points, increasing their overall score. At the end of the night, one couple will face elimination.
Judges’ comments on Alexa’s Week 8 Argentine Tango: Julianne: “There was such an intensity in the groundedness, you had all the intensity even though you slipped up, you kept going.” Bruno: “It was so grandeur, you made a few faults that really stood out. We are there with you all the way, but you did it.” Carrie Ann: “I saw the teeniest tiniest mistakes, but it was still epic.”
