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 Carlos’s Week 8 Salsa: Julianne: “This is definitely in your blood. Salsa is all about being free and that is what it was all about. You just need to watch your hips and be in more control. Great job though!.” Bruno: “Magic Carlos is back! You were tossing Whitney into positions that you cannot find anywhere, I don’t think they were legal, but I liked it a lot. You put a lot of armography into it, I like that.” Carrie Ann: “I actually thought you had a rough start, you kept taking it up a notch but I found a mistake as well. I still loved your connection, it was enjoyable to watch.”
JUDGES SCORES: Carrie Ann: 9 Julianne: 9 Bruno: 9 = TOTAL 27/30 – Vote for Carlos PenaVega & professional dancer Witney Carson at voting #: 1*855*234*5605.
