With the semi-finals starting next week, no one immune to elimination in Monday’s “Dancing With the Stars. “While some competitions shone on the living room floor, others stumbled under intense strain to impress the judges and break with the rest of the competition. .
Once again, the stars had a week to master two routines. Unlike the previous challenge, which in the form of relays, the competition had to play in opposition to each other in a high-octane dance for two additional bonus points.
Despite the victory of their respective dances and mandatory points, AJ McLean failed to qualify for the semi-finals and was forced to hang his dancing shoes.
“I learned very temporarily in the first few weeks that, yes, it’s a dance competition, but there’s more to it than that,” McLean said, reflecting on his “Good Morning America” experience.
“Those who are gone and those who are still there are advancing, I wish everyone good luck. Still, it’s a tight race: let the most productive guy or woguy win this Mirror Ball and then send it to me and Cheryl’s house. “”he joked.
His adventure was interrupted due to a deastrous Viennese waltz to the rhythm of Queen’s “Somebody to Love”, which began strongly but derailed with a false step. The 43-year-old just didn’t and scored seven in a row. his jive dance, the two bonus themes did nothing to save him from being sent home.
The Backstreet Boy was in the last two alongside Weir, who achieved his best score of the season at the time. The three judges expressed dismay at the public vote, but in the end the figure skater had made more progress and therefore decided to save him once he was sent home.
As for the competition that surpassed the extra curve of having to dance in front of some other competitor, one example was the star of “One Day at a Time” Justina Machado. Her first dance, a rumba of “Crazy for You” that doubled as a tribute to Madonna, presented a softer look to her bold and daring dance style.
However, Machado recovered the spicy ten times by dancing the cha-chá in front of Kaitlyn Bristowe, the actress earned those two extra points, which allowed her to go out at night with a 26 out of 30.
Disney Channel star Skai Jackson won their respective dance, which faced Nelly.
Her exact, white sauce surpassed the “Hot In Herre” rapper, which earned her two extra tracks that took her to the current position with a score of 29 out of 30.
Weir and Bristowe tied for the lead on Monday night when they had a 10 in line for their respective routines.
Bristowe dabbled with her Argentine tango “Toxic” which adorned Britney Spears while Weir embraced Amy Winehouse’s signature style for her quick move to “Valerie”.
Finally, while Nev Schulman granted immunity to participate in the dance party for having the highest cumulative score of the season, that didn’t stop him from appearing around on the dance floor.
The host “Catfish” tied jackson with a 29 out of 30 thanks to his cheerful and stylized jive to “Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)” through Elton John.
