AceShowbiz - Another team was sent home on "Dancing with the Stars" Monday night, April 3. But before that, the remaining 11 pairs danced for the third time to the theme of Vegas Night. To match the theme, the opening number featured showgirls, magicians, Elvis impersonators, a bachelorette party and blackjack.
Nick Viall and Peta Murgatroyd were the first pair to dance, performing a Tango. The judges noticed his improvement and appreciated his effort, but Bruno Tonioli pointed out that he stomped too much. The former "The Bachelor" star earned 26 out of 40 points.
Mr. T and Kym Johnson danced a Foxtrot. As before, Mr. T delivered an entertaining performance, but he mostly just walked. Still, Len Goodman appreciated that there was actual Foxtrot content. The actor got 24 points.
Bonner Bolton and Sharna Burgess danced a Charleston. Sharna had to adjust the choreography because Bonner's injury prevents him from doing lifts and other tricks. Bruno Tonioli said Bonner was off timing a few times. The judges gave him 24 points.
Heather Morris, still joined by Alan Bersten who fills in for Maksim Chmerkovskiy, danced a Tango. Len loved that there were "loads of content of the Tango, plenty of dancing and hold." Julianne Hough felt Heather and Alan's connection while they just teamed up last week. The "Glee" alum earned 33 points.
Charo and Keo Motsepe danced a Foxtrot. Wearing a baby blue, tulle wedding-gown-looking costume, she danced to "Chapel of Love" by The Dixie Cups. Len said it lacked a bit in technique, but it was made up for being fun and entertaining. Carrie Ann Inaba and Julianne praised Keo for bringing this side of Charo. The Spanish entertainer earned 24 points.
Simone Biles and her partner Sasha Farber danced an energetic Quickstep. Technically, the judges had nothing to complain about, but they urged her to focus more on the emotion. The Olympic gymnast earned 32 points.
Nancy Kerrigan and Artem Chigvintsev followed it up with another great performance, dancing a Samba. Len already dubbed it the best dance so far this season, while Julianne called it the best Samba she's ever seen on the show. Nancy earned 33 points.
David Ross and Lindsay Arnold tried to ooze sexiness with their "Magic Mike"-themed Jazz. He did striptease with the male troupe and the judges appreciated it that he was fully committed to this. Len said it was "fun," "entertaining" and "terrific." David earned 31 points.
Erika Jayne and Gleb Savchenko were up next, dancing a Jive with circus theme. Len thought there were many tricks, but not enough Jive. Julianne liked her legs, but noticed that she got wobbly several times. "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star earned 26 points.
Rashad Jennings and Emma Slater danced a Samba. Len felt that he's "a little bit flat-footed." Bruno also criticized his foot, while Carrie Ann thought he would do better if he could "get more comfortable in the technical moves." Rashad earned 28 points.
Last but not least were Normani Kordei and Valentin Chmerkovskiy, who danced a Foxtrot. Bruno said it was the best dance of the night. Len wanted to see more in hold, but said that the number made him smile. Julianne likened the performance to a number on Broadway. The Fifth Harmony singer got 34 points.
Next it was time for elimination. Charo & Keo and Nick & Peta were in jeopardy. After surviving the chopping block last week, Charo was eventually cut this week. As said by host Erin Andrews, Charo had made up with Bruno following their verbal feud last week. She, however, jokingly said, "Bruno, I'll see you at the parking lot." She also said that she had a good time on the show, before quickly rushing off stage.
