This week on Dancing With the Stars, eleven couples remain in the competition and danced either the Jive or the Quick Step.

 

Hope and Maks were up first dancing the Jive. Len said it was crisp, sharp and fast-moving, but she lost her timing here and there. Bruno said it has to be more precise and accurate. Carrie Ann thought it was fun and flirtatious with a few mess-ups. 

 

Score: 6+7+6=19.

 

Up next with the Quick Step were Kristin and Mark. Bruno was bedazzled by the blonde bombshell. Carrie Ann said she looked stunning and thought the performance was a complete transformation from last week. Len said she looked fantastic but didn’t think the dance was as fantastic. 

 

Score: 8+7+7=22.

 

David and Kym were the next couple to dance the Jive. Carrie Ann thought he had incredible enthusiasm, but said he got a little too loose at times. Len was almost speechless and felt the technique just wasn’t there. Bruno said he definitely didn’t hold back but thought he lost both the timing and technique. 

 

Score: 6+6+6=18.

 

Elisabetta and Mark danced the Quick Step. Len said it wasn’t great but thought it was better than last week. Bruno said she is back on track. Carrie Ann thought she totally came back and nailed the dance. 

 

Score: 7+7+7=21.

 

Carson and Anna were up next with the Quick Step. Carrie Ann saw improvement but thought he was wobbly. Len said the worst dances are always the most fun to watch. Bruno said he still has a lot of work to do technically. 

 

Score: 6+6+6=18.

 

Ricki and Derek danced the Jive. Len was disturbed by the dance. Bruno said she was the first person tonight that did their kicks and flicks right. Carrie Ann named it the best jive of the night so far. 

 

Score: 8+7+8=23.

 

Chaz and Lacey danced the Quick Step. Bruno said the dance has to be faster but with his injury it was the best he could’ve done. Carrie Ann said she was sorry he is in pain but didn’t think the dance was quick enough. Len said he got through it with his injury but thought it was too slow. 

 

Score: 6+5+6=17.

 

Chynna and Tony performed next with the Jive. Carrie Ann enjoys watching her dance but thought she played it safe. Len said it was good, but not great because it needed more excitement. Bruno said everything was there but still something was missing. 

 

Score: 7+7+7=21. 

 

Nancy and Tristan were the last couple to dance the Quick Step. Len thought it was incredibly refreshing to see someone dance a proper Quick Step. Bruno said it was top heavy at times but still really nice. Carrie Ann saw great improvement and thought the teamwork was good. 

 

Score: 6+8+7=21.

 

For the final dance of the night, J.R. and Karina danced the Jive. Bruno said it was the most satisfying performance of the night. Carrie Ann thought it was fantastic but was upset that there was a lift. Len said it was a great dance but didn’t think it was a Jive. 

 

Score: 7+7+8=22.
