Two couples were eliminated, leaving four dynamic and very different duos vying for the mirror ball trophy.
Is itreally,sequin nation?
But sure, I’ll play along!
The bustle in the ballroom has certainly surprised me before.
First up: the redemption round.
And watch yourself, dancers: the whip-cracking Carrie Ann Inaba is docking points for lifts!
But I guess that was intentional?
Anyway, Tonioli seemed pleased.
“The race to the finale starts with a bang!
It ain’t right!
To redeem herself, Len Goodman suggested that she and Artem revisit their rumba fromweek 2.
But first, loosen up those hips, Melora, by making them “oily,” he insists.
“Mission accomplished,” Goodman said.
“Tutti Frutti, what a booty.
Lots of interesting choreography.
I thought it was fantastic.
“I am loving Suni 2.0,” said Derek Hough.
“It really is amazing to see.
So much fun and so much joy, a lightness about you.
The frame was a little bouncy… but otherwise honey (honey?
You don’t call Melora honey) there’s so much to be proud about.
“I asked you to get body contact and I saw that throughout,” Goodman said afterward.
“I saw attack; aggression.
Great movement across the floor.
“I’ll tell you that was bloody brilliant,” Goodman said afterward.
“It was full of attack, it was full of purpose.
Then, he Argentine tangoed.
“It’s so good to see you actually be able to express yourself.
“More lifts than Uber!
And they were spectacular,” said Goodman, who also appreciated Iman’s decision to go shirtless.
“Our bodies are so similar, though I have a few more tattoos.
Also, good call by Jojo because everyone loved seeing the ol' girl in the ballroom.
Her contemporary, danced to the song he wrote, was for him.
“He’s proud of you and he’s smiling for you,” said Tonioli.
How do you not give her performance a perfect score?
The bottom three on Monday were Amanda and Alan, Suni and Sasha, and Melora and Artem.
Melora was eliminated without judge input and was quickly whisked off the stage.
All the judges saved Amanda so Suni was sent home.
Next week is the finals!
