Simone Biles & Sasha Farber – Samba – “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child (VIDEO HERE)
Len: You did promenade runs and you fixed a spin in there, that shows how much control you have. Lots of Samba in there. Overall what a great start to the show. Bruno: One thing is certain, your future is set in gold. You’re really not a child anymore, you’re a young woman glowing in confidence. Carrie Ann: That was so sexy in the way that it should be, sexiness is owning everything that you are. It was all there. Nick: This is how you start the show off is with a performance just like that! You are a powerful woman.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 9 Nick: 8 Len: 9 Bruno: 9 Total: 35/40
Bonner Bolton & Sharna Burgess – Rumba – “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys (VIDEO HERE)
Len: In Rumba you got to show more emotion, your lines were good, the bits between the lines could have been more fluid. Well done. Bruno: Listen, there is one thing, Rumba is hard for men. You have to do a continuous movement, it was a bit jagged. Carrie Ann: I appreciate you took the note from last week, I am really proud of you for that. I loved the fact that you were in synch together. Solid Rumba! Nick: Honestly, I can’t be more proud of what I just saw on the dance floor. Bonner, I think that you have to find a way to let go.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 8 Nick: 8 Len: 7 Bruno: 7 Total: 30/40
Nancy Kerrigan & Artem Chigvintsev – Paso Doblé – “Free Your Mind” by En Vogue (VIDEO HERE)
Len: Nancy, don’t doubt yourself. You’re a terrific dancer, just accept that, come out here and just dance. Bruno: I am shocked and appalled, I thought you were a lady, and you unleased the beast tonight! If something goes long, you lose your shapes, never lose your shaping! Carrie Ann: That was amazing! I am so excited because I feel this is the first time that you have ever tapped into this power. Nick: Wow! Wow! Wow! I love this Nancy Kerrigan, my mind is blown, you have freed my mind.
Score: Carrie Ann: 9 Nick: 8 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 33/40
Nick Viall & Peta Murgatroyd – Jive – “Fun, Fun, Fun” by The Beach Boy (VIDEO HERE)
Len: Jive has to be fun and freedom. I wasn’t picking up a lot of good vibrations if you want to be honest about it. It was entertaining though. Bruno: It was fun in the sun. One foot was in Malibu and the other was in San Francisco. Jive is all a lot timing and foot placement. Carrie Ann: What I really do love is you coming out of your shell. Unfortunately, in the Jive, we need the right tone in the feet. Nick: If there is anyone here who fits the profile for being in a boy band it’s you. You got the looks, you got the girl, but you gotta work on the moves a little more.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 7 Nick: 7 Len: 7 Bruno: 7 Total: 28/40
Normani Kordei & Valentin Chmerkovskiy – Salsa – “When I Grow Up” by The Pussycat Dolls
Len: I thought that dance showcased what a great dancer you are, but it didn’t showcase what a great salsa dancer you are. Bruno: I think you melted all my wiring and blew my boxes. That is a performance from someone who is in it to win it. You nailed every move! Carrie Ann: When I grow up I want to be like you even though I am 20 years older than you. Every move you do, you stick it, you know exactly what you’re doing. Nick: You have what it takes to take this all the way. Just stay the course and don’t look back, you got this!
Scores: Carrie Ann: 10 Nick: 10 Len: 8 Bruno: 10 Total: 38/40
David Ross & Lindsay Arnold – Argentine Tango – “I Want You Back” by *NSYNC (VIDEO HERE)
Len: The problem with this show is you get frustrated because you can’t do the steps. Plus, this week is a double whammy. With all that pressure, I thought you did a marvelous job. Bruno: So stunning, so mean, a man on the mission to get the job done and you nearly did it. You nearly dropped her. If you do a lift, it has to be floating and weightless. Carrie Ann: You don’t seem yourself and it’s hurting me. I know you went for a true Argentine Tango, I feel like you gave up halfway through. Nick: I have to ask this question. N’Sync or Backstreet Boys? I can tell that you are a fighter, in everything that you have done in your life. I thought it was your best work.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 7 Nick: 8 Len: 7 Bruno: 7 Total: 29/40
Rashad Jennings & Emma Slater – Tango – “Reach Out, I’ll Be There” by The Four Tops
Len: You had to do the Tango, I appreciate that you stuck in hold and you showed us a proper Tango. You got a little bit excited so you lost some control. Bruno: When the going gets tough, the tough gets winning! So strong and so driven, you wanted to show us what you got, and you got plenty of talent. Carrie Ann: Oh my gosh, I loved the beginning. When you came down and got into hold, thank you so much, you’re dancing with style and technique. Nick: On this show when it comes to athletes, they can be really good or kinda so-so. Tonight you elevated yourself to the level of elite.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 9 Nick: 10 Len: 9 Bruno: 9 Total: 37/40
Heather Morris & Maksim Chmerkovskiy – Rumba – “Waterfalls” by TLC (VIDEO HERE)
Len: Welcome back Maks, lovely leg action. I loved the speed, whip it, wait a minute, then back cool. It was a knock out dance, I loved it. Bruno: It was like watching Kim Bassinger in Dancing With The Stars confidential. No man can resist you, look at her! Played like a star danced like a champion. Carrie Ann: By far, hands down, your best dance. There was a difference in you tonight, you were grounded, well done. It was stunning! Nick: That was my favorite dance of the night. You were elegant, you were beautiful, and you told a story. It was amazing.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 10 Nick: 10 Len: 10 Bruno: 10 Total: 40/40

Len: That was full of gimmicks and crowd pleasing moves and that’s what you gotta do if you are going to beat the girls. It was plenty of fun. Bruno: Each and every one is ready to go solo. It was the most fabulous mess I have ever seen, I was literally crying, than you very much. Carrie Ann: You guys were fantastic, my favorite part was the group session, that Magic Mike session you guys did pay off. There was one person that missed their staging, Bonner, but I didn’t expect it to be so good. Nick. Get the record deal going, let’s record some music, you guys missed your calling. You guys were great, I loved it.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 8 Nick: 9 Len: 8 Bruno: 8 Total: 33/40
TEAM GIRL GROUP (VIDEO HERE)
Simone Biles, Nancy Kerrigan, Normani Kordei and Heather Morris will dance to a medley of “My Boyfriend’s Back” by The Chiffons, “No Scrubs” by TLC and “BO$$” by Fifth Harmony.
Bruno: Girl power is alive and well and still kicks ass! You’ve done it very very well, I spotted something. Did somebody go wrong? Something happened…Carrie Ann: Honestly I was underwhelmed, you guys are all so incredible and I expected you to be so fierce. I feel like it didn’t come together as a girl group. Nick: I have no idea why the girls are in trouble tonight, in my opinion it was amazing, it was well choreographed. Len: The quality of dancing was probably better than the guys, but I found the guys more entertaining.
Scores: Carrie Ann: 8 Nick: 9 Len: 8 Bruno: 9 Total: 34/40
