AceShowbiz - "Dancing with the Stars" is not saying goodbye to any of the stars in the fifth week of the competition. No one is eliminated since it is a switch-partner week.
Viewers voted via Twitter on which stars should be paired up with their choice of dancing pros for one night only. Next week, they will return to their original pro partners and face elimination round if they go to the bottom three position. There is a chance that it would be a double elimination.
Antonio Sabato Jr. was paired up with Allison Holker for a Bollywood-themed dance. They scored 28 out of 40 from the judging panel that included guest judge Jessie J in place of Len Goodman. Bethany Mota got to dance Hip-Hop with Mark Ballas and took 32 out of 40 from the judges.
Jonathan Bennett scored a low 24 out of 40 when dancing Samba with Peta Murgatroyd. Alfonso Ribeiro was partnered up with Cheryl Burke for a passionate Flamenco number and scored 34 out of 40. Janel Parrish worked her burlesque moves with the help of Artem Chigvintsev, nabbing 33 out of 40.
Michael Waltrip and Witney Carson teamed up for disco but their performance was only rated 20 out of 40. It was the lowest score of the night. Tommy Chong took the dance floor with Emma Slater for a Mambo number and scored 23 out of 40. Sadie Robertson and Derek Hough worked up Charleston that impressed the judges and squirted 36 out of 40. It was the highest score of the night. Lea Thompson and Valentin Chmerkovskiy closed the night with a Broadway number, taking 34 out of 40.
