Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess – Salsa – “GDFR” by Flo Rida
Judges Comments: Len: “You put the boy in flamboyant. Not the most conventional of salsas, but you are not a conventional guy. But you came out, you entertained, you attacked the dance, you had fun. I enjoyed watching you, well done.” Bruno: “It was like Bobby and the salsa angels. It looked like someone that just gatecrashed a Victoria Secret show. We were bedazzled by the spectacular, the girls looked hot, you had a great 8-pack. I don’t know if it was a salsa, but as a show it was great.” Carrie Ann: “I’m still a bit baffled because I never thought I would hear you dance to that song in the semi-finals. You didn’t miss any steps, but you were off beat. I love your energy and you are such a joy to watch.
Judges Scores: Carrie Ann 7, Len 7, Bruno 7 = 21/30
Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten – Waltz – “Water” by Bishop Briggs
Judges Comments: Bruno: “Heavenly, exquisite poise. The way your turns are placed on the axis, it is never out of place. You truly shine in the rain.” Carrie Ann: “I agree with Bruno, your turns are spot on. But what is incredible is that there was something that matured in the way you expressed yourself. I feel like everything you did had so much care in it. You had a lift, but this definitely your best dance.” Len: “I wrote elegant, graceful, elegant movement. It had a continuous flow. You Alan, why didn’t you put more waltz in this to make us judges happy, you would have had such a high mark. The further you go from the roots of the dance, the more you lose.”
Judges Scores: Carrie Ann 9, Len 9, Bruno 10 = 28/30
Joe “Grocery Store Joe” Amabile and Jenna Johnson – Contemporary– “This Year’s Love” by David Gray
Judges Comments: Carrie Ann: “I’m impressed, there is a new fluidity that I am seeing. In contemporary it is all about how you shuffle your feet, it was great. There was not a lot of content, but you did not distract. The transitions were just impeccable. Thank you.” Len: “You didn’t do much Joe, but you didn’t do much very well. I enjoyed it, it is what it is.” Bruno: “It was fashionable minimalistic. You provided a very strong wooden frame for Jenna to do her beautiful things.”
Judges Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 7, Bruno 7 = 22/30
Juan Pablo Di Pace and Cheryl Burke – Argentine tango – “Libertango” from Forever Tango
Judges Comments: Len: “I’ve got to stand up here. It was fantastic, I will always remember that Argentine Tango because it was truly fabulous.” Bruno: “I honestly can’t catch my breath, it was extraordinary. It was smoldering and the pure essence of an Argentine Tango. When you built up the end it was the best I have ever seen since the show started. We have never seen anything like that.” Carrie Ann: “You have been our most consistent performer but tonight you outdid yourself in a way that I can not find words to describe. There was so much artistry and passion, you are in a class of your own.”
Judges Scores: Carrie Ann 10, Len 10, Bruno 10 = 30/30

Milo Manheim and Witney Carson – Argentine tango – “Pray for Me” by The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar
Judges Comments: Carrie Ann: “It was fascinating watching you get all emotional and watching you switch it and turn it into intensity. I liked the structural element that you had, there were so many shapes. You just brought it, well done.” Len: “You are 17 years old, you came out, you stayed true to yourself, I thoroughly enjoyed it well done.” Bruno: “Stylish, sharp, strong, your lifts were very good, they are hard to control. So clean, Milo always delivers.”

Judges Comments: Len: “I had so much fun coming to visit you, honestly, to quote Lou Reed, Its a walk on the wild side. I enjoyed it so much, we worked on those kicks and flicks and by and large, I saw you do them pretty well. For entertainment, you are my man.” Bruno: “Bobby you definitely give it plenty, you were jumping around like a golden cricket. Well done.” Carrie Ann: “It really was improved. Your steps were way more refined, the kicks were really high. The world needs more Bobby in it.”

Your performance was so much more focused. You finished the movement, you owned the line, you have done a fantastic job.” Carrie Ann: “When I was watching you dance, I was overwhelmed with emotion. Sometimes there is this X-factor, you were dancing with so much momentum, I was blown away.”
Judges Scores: Carrie Ann 10, Len 9, Bruno 9 = 28/30
Milo Manheim and Witney Carson – Cha Cha – “Good Feeling” by Austin French (mentored by Carrie Ann)

There was something that was just a bit wild, you have to bring your A game every time.” Len: “It was full of youthful exuberance. You come out and there is a joy about your dancing. There was a little too much in the legs sometimes, however, I always enjoy watching you.” Bruno: “I liked it. It was a very individual interpretation of the cha cha cha. You hit the beat so sharp, it was fantastic.”
