Nick Lachey (98 Degrees) and Peta Murgatroyd; Jazz; 21/30.
Nick confessed he’s a big fan of rom-com movies so he and Peta danced to “Jump!” by the Pointer Sisters from the film “Love Actually.”
The pair danced with some troupe members, which sometimes the lead couple gets lost, especially when their outfits and troupe member costumes are all similar. Nick received lots of compliments from the judges, which were reflected in his score.
Terrell Owens (NFL star) and Cheryl Burke; salsa; 21/30
Owens hasn’t used them a while, but he calls his break-dancing skills a secret passion. An unimpressed Burke thought they were too much of a secret so she emphasized more salsa moves in their dance.
The judges have wanted more from Owens and this week they got just that. Inaba said Owens finally brought it! However, a more subdued Goodman noted it’s not a touchdown, but Owens is at least in the red zone.
What do you think? Post a comment!
Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold; Charleston; 25/30
Producers often save the best for last and that was arguably the case tonight. Fisher’s passion for comic books, specifically the X-Men, made for a fun video package and an even better Charleston routine complete with colorful costumes and lots of Bams! and Pows! straight out of Batman from the ’60s.
“Somewhere Adam West is smiling,” Bergeron told Fisher afterwards. Tonioli said the number combined Roy Lichtenstein art with all the thrill of an action-blockbuster, calling Fisher an “X-Man – First Class!” Goodman, who had been non-grumpy all night, reverted back to his rigid self and said there wasn’t enough of a Charleston, breaking out the “7” paddle to prove his point.
There’s no elimination this week, but there will be next week. Fans have until 8 pm. ET Tuesday to vote at ABC.com so their favorites can avoid elimination!
