TV

Tommy Chong once again dodges elimination, but lands on the bottom of the scoreboard following his two dances in the latest episode.

AceShowbiz - The remaining pairs on "Dancing with the Stars" season 19 returned on Monday night, November 10 with two dances each. America had creative control of the pairs' first dance, giving input on styles, songs and costumes. For the second dance, each team would be joined by another pro for the Trio Challenge.

Alfonso Robeiro and Witney Carson danced a foxtrot to "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" that earned rave reviews from the judges, but Julianne Hough thought "there is more pizzazz that you could give us." The pair earned 37 points out of 40 for the first dance.

Later that night, they returned to the stage with Lindsay Arnold to dance a paso doble. "You nailed it!" Julianne exclaimed. The judges gave the pair 40 points for a total score of 77 out of 80.

Tommy Chong and Peta Murgatroyd performed a Viennese waltz for their first dance. "You are so watchable, but there are a few creaky moments," Bruno Tonioli said, though Len Goodman praised the 76-year-old comedian for making it through to the semifinals. The judges gave him 29 points.

Tommy and Peta danced a samba with Sharna Burgess for their Trio Challenge. Carrie Ann Inaba said, "That was good entertainment." He earned 28 points for a total score of 57.

Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev channeled sexy cats during their samba to "Animals". Bruno and Carrie Ann liked her confidence, and the latter advised her to be "wild and free and crazy all the time." Lea earned 34 points.

She later danced a paso doble with Artem and Henry Byalikov. Carrie Ann said Lea stood out well, while Julianne gushed, "It was a job well done, amazing, you killed it." The judges gave her 36 points. Lea's total score that night was 70.

Bethany Mota and Derek Hough danced a Viennese waltz to "Say You Love Me". They showed emotion in the number, but Len wanted more Viennese waltz. The judges gave her 36 points.

The couple's second dance, an Argentine tango with Tony Dovolani, earned a higher score, 38, as Bruno praised "the aggressive rawness." Carrie Ann, however, thought that "it was a little out of control." Bethany's total score at the end of the night was 74.

Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas first danced a jive to "Turnaround". Len loved "the content" in the dance, but Carrie Ann said, "You were very exposed, you lacked a bit of strength in your torso." Bruno appreciated her effort to do "such a difficult dance" and the judges gave her 33 points.

Sadie redeemed it with her second dance, a foxtrot with Mark and Emma Slater which Len dubbed "the best trio of the night." All four judges agreed it deserved a perfect point of 10, which made her total score of the night 73.

Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy danced a quickstep chosen by America. She struggled with hold and Val admitted he messed up a bit, but Julianne said, "I don't care that you messed up, that is what a quick step is all about and the best dance of the night." The judges gave them 38 points.

Janel wrapped up the performances with a salsa joined by Keo Motsepe. Julianne said, "There wasn't a lot of salsa content, but that was so fun to watch." Len, on the other hand, said, "It was a fantastic content, some of was uncomfortable, but I loved it." The actress earned 39 points for a total score of 77.

It's finally time for the results announcement and the eliminated pair this week was Lea and Artem. "I just feel really great," said Lea, who didn't seem to be really upset about getting the boot. "I feel strong and I'm anxious to get back to my day job on 'Switched at Birth'. I love this man."
