AceShowbiz - After the Switch-Up night last week, the remaining celebrity contestants were back with their original pro dance partners on "Dancing with the Stars" Monday, April 25. Tonight's theme was "Famous Dances" which meant each pair had to recreate an iconic dance routine from film, music video or live performance.
Kim Fields, who was injured during rehearsals, and Sasha Farber were first to dance. They performed an energetic "Hairspray" jive to "You Can't Stop the Beat". Len Goodman liked it that it was fun. Bruno Tonioli noticed that Kim "missed a little pass at the end" but still liked it. Carrie Ann Inaba called the actress "the one to watch" but expected to see more of her energy for this routine. Kim earned 24 points.
Von Miller and Witney Carson danced a jazz to Michael Jackson's "Bad". Bruno said "that was bad ass," although he was not sharp a few times. Carrie Ann could sense he's nervous, but said Von was "killing it." Len also liked it, adding that Von didn't need the wind machine. The Denver Broncos linebacker earned 24 points.
Jodie Sweetin, who injured her ankle during rehearsals, and Keo Motsepe danced a contemporary to Pink's "Try". Due to her injury, they dropped a dangerous lift. The judges appreciated her effort to do a difficult routine. The "Fuller House" actress earned 25 points.
Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas danced a jazz to "Soul Bossa Nova" from "Austin Powers". Len said, "There was nothing about that dance that I didn't like." Bruno loved the "accuracy of the stylistic details," while Carrie Ann called it one of her favorite dances by far. Paige earned 28 points, with a 10 from Len.
Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd danced a quickstep to "Hey! Pachuco" from "The Mask". The dance was high energy and Bruno loved everything about it. Carrie Ann thought that Nyle's mask distracted him from his dance. Len said the performance was "terrific," but reminded the model that he's still not as good as Valentin Chmerkovskiy. Nyle earned 25 points.
Ginger Zee and Val Chmerkovskiy danced a jazz to Janet Jackson's "Nasty". The judges thought she wasn't as nasty as she should've been. "It was clean and precise but it lacked attitude," Len commented. The "Good Morning America" weather anchor earned 24 points.
Doug Flutie and Karina Smirnoff danced a Bollywood number to "Jai Ho" from "Slumdog Millionaire". Karina had never done this style before, but Doug gave his best efforts. The judges liked it that it was fun as Carrie Ann said it was her favorite performance of Doug's. The former NFL quarterback earned 21 points.
Wanya Morris and Lindsay Arnold danced a jazz to NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye". Lance Bass and Joey Fatone were in the red room to support him. He hit every move as Carrie Ann gushed, "This boy is on fire. You brought the stuff, the dirty and sexy." Len added, "You have just taken a big great step into the finals." The Boyz II Men member earned 29 points.
Antonio Brown and Sharna Burgess rounded up the performances with a jive to "Footloose". "That is the way to bring the house down at the end of the show, you made a mistake at the beginning, but you killed it," Carrie Ann commented. The NFL star earned 27 points.
Next was time for the results. Paige & Mark, Doug & Karina as well as Von & Witney were in jeopardy. Doug & Karina were eventually eliminated.
Next week, the remaining pairs will face a double elimination.
