It's a Face-Off. Couples are going head-to-head and competing in the same dance style. The winner of the Face-Off will get immunity from elimination! In the event of a tie Len Goodman gets to be tie-breaker. Two time mirror ball trophy winner, Kim Johnson, is taking Erin's job for elimination night alongside Tom.

The judges didn't critique the stars on their performances until elimination night. But even after all of the re-capping there wasn't much left to say. Basic comments like being sharper, more energy, and arms were all the judges could come up with. Does that mean that the contestants this season are better than the other seasons or does it just mean they're less time for the judges to look at the camera?

Do you thinks it's weird to put on the same sweaty costume form the night before in order to see if you're going home? Maybe they have more than one of the exact same costume. Moving on... In the bottom are Amber and Maks, Rick and Emma, and Terra and Sasha. But the couple leaving the competition is.... Rick and Emma. We saw it coming but hey, maybe he learned enough good stuff to dance well at his daughter's wedding next month.
