Vanessa Lachey and Maksim Chmerkovskiy; Quickstep, 36/40
Part of Vanessa’s dress fell off at the beginning of the routine; kudos to Tom Bergeron for quick-stepping (get it?) onto the floor to retrieve it so the loose garment didn’t hamper the rest of the routine.
Len’s not sure if this dance deserves less, the same or more as past scores he’s given the pair. “More,” says Maks with that devilish smile he knows how to flash.
Jordan Fisher and Lindsay Arnold; Rumba, 39/40
J&L make a pinky swear to be truthful with one another in their pre-dance package. Adorable. Their dance was fantastic, receiving a standing ovation. Carrie Ann says watching these two dance is like watching taffy – in a good way. Len gets real picky on some of Jordan’s gestures, but gives a “9” anyway.
Lindsey Sterling and Mark Ballas; Argentine Tango, 40/40
Appropriately, Mark plays a mad scientist — because when it comes to choreography he is a mad scientist! Bruno agrees, calling it the best dance of the season: “Professor Ballas, you’ve created another work of genius!” Shania picked the right dance to be in unison with her fellow judges: “10, 10, 10, 10!” The season’s first perfect score!
Ejected duo: Nick and Peta are voted off in a season that’s gotten highly competitive.
“I’m proud of the effort we gave,” Nick said. “I can’t say enough things about this wonderful woman (Peta).”
