Time to dance!

 

Celebrity: Ally Brooke

Claim to Fame: Fifth Harmony

Pro: Sasha Farber

Dance: Quickstep

Sammi: They dance an eighties themed dance to Ah Ha’s “Take On Me.” All I can think of is the American Duos episode of “Psych.” I feel like the camera wasn’t even really focusing on them, which made it hard to enjoy the dance. From what I could see it was a lot of high energy, but I wish we could have seen it close up.

Len: First out, first class.

Bruno: He thinks it was good, despite being a bit too fast for the footwork.

Carrie Ann: She loved the concept, but it was a bit out of sync.

Scores: 8-9-8=25 out of 30.

 

Celebrity: Kate Flannery

Claim to Fame: The Office

Pro: Pasha Pashkov

Dance: Viennese Waltz

Sammi: They are so classy and elegant tonight. She adds her personality, a flair of drama and still keeps true to the dance.

Bruno: He thinks it worked wonders.

Carrie Ann: She loved how her hard work paid off.

Len: He is impressed she did a fleckle step.

Scores: 9-9-9=27 out of 30

 

Contestant: Kel Mitchell

Claim to Fame: All That/Kenyan and Kel

Pro: Witney Carson

Dance: Quickstep

Sammi: I like how they focused more on their dance and footwork. It seems like he is improving with each and every week. Best of all, that smile speaks volumes about how much he loves this experience.

Carrie Ann: He had a teeny misstep, but it was “ridiculously amazing.”

Len: He also noticed the slip, but loved it overall.

Bruno: He is a full time dancer.

Scores: 9-8-9=26 out of 30

 

Celebrity: Karamo Brown

Claim to Fame: Queer Eye

Pro: Jenna Johnson

Dance: Contemporary

Sammi: Now I can’t stop crying. Not only is his story heart warming, but the dance is incredible and emotional. It is by far his best performance so far.

Len: He thinks it was a well constructed dance.

Bruno: It as truthful, expressive and him.

Carrie Ann: She felt that and it felt good.

Scores: 9-8-8=26 out of 30

 

Contestant: Hannah Brown

Claim to Fame: Reigning Bachelorette

Pro: Alan Bersten

Dance: Samba

Sammi: It seems like an odd song choice for a samba, but she at least has the moves down pat. She is another one who seems to be enjoying herself on the dance floor.

Bruno: He is impressed she was able to do the dance to a difficult song, but also offers places to improve.

Carrie Ann: Her form is fantastic, but she is a bit ahead of the beat.

Len: He calls it a job well done, but wanted more hip action.

Scores: 8-8-8=24 out of 30

 

Celebrity: Sailor Brinkley Cook (replacing mom Christie Brinkley)

Claim to Fame: Model

Pro: Val Chmerkovskiy

Dance: Jive

Sammi: She is adorable and it is obvious she is really into dancing. I am again annoyed they added other dancers, but overall the energy and technique was spot on.

Carrie Ann: She was so animated.

Len: It was filled with taste and flavor.

Bruno: Way to go!

Scores: 9-9-9=27 out of 30

 

Celebrity: Sean Spicer

Claim to Fame: Former White House Press Secretary

Pro: Lindsay Arnold

Dance: Viennese Waltz

Sammi: He seems to really love his family. This dance in particular is dedicated to his wife. The dance is elegant, classy and really shows a different side of him. It reminds me of the dance Jerry Springer dedicated to his daughter. Beautiful.

Len: He admires him for giving it his all.

Bruno: He offers places to improve, but enjoyed it.

Carrie Ann: She also offers places to improve but loves how the audience loves him.

Scores: 7-7-7=21 out of 30

 

Celebrity: James Van Der Beek

Claim to Fame: Dawson’s Creek

Pro: Emma Slater

Dance: Samba

Sammi: While the samba is different than others, it really showcases how much he is growing as a dancer. Unless we have a shocking elimination at some point, I can almost bet that he is in the finals.

Bruno: He gushes over how much he loved it.

Carrie Ann: His hips were amazing.

Len: Tutti Frutti! What a booty!

Scores: 9-9-9=27 out of 30

 

Contestant: Lauren Alaina

Claim to Fame: American Idol/Country singer

Pro: Gleb Savchenko

Dance: Contemporary

Sammi: This is dedicated to her late stepdad on the anniversary of his death. I barely saw anything they did because I was crying so hard. I don’t think I cried this hard since I saw Toy Story 3. The song, the dedication….the dance….the whole dang thing. WOW.

Carrie Ann: She touched everyone’s hearts.

Len: It was worthy of her stepdad and herself.

Bruno: He never wants her to lose this.

Scores: 9-8-9=26 out of 30
