Bruno said the dance had great motion. Score: 24/30

Skai and Alan danced a Jazz routine to Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News-- Hmm I think I was left wanting more from that, but maybe it's just me.

Nelly and Daniella danced a Samba to Rhythm of the Night to DeBarge-- This was by far their best dance! I loved their costumes. Oh my gosh, Nelly made me smile so hard. I need to go back and watch that. Derek said that was your best dance! It was a legit Samba, there was a freedom to you, you were in the pocket.

Nev and Jenna danced a Quickstep to Take on Me by A-Ha-- They were great! Nev is always in character, and Jenna always choreographs to his strengths. Carrie Ann said the frame felt awkward. Derek said he loved it, and thought it was a great way to end the night. Bruno said you took to the Quickstep like a duck to water. Your footwork was crisp, on time, and efficient. Score: 26/30

At the end of the night the bottom two was Jesse and Sharna and Vernon and Peta. This was a little surprising I have to say, but the outcome was predictable. It's unfortunate that Jesse went home because he was just starting to get good. 

Chrishell and Justina might be in trouble next week.
