Samantha has a lovely gold gown on and Lacey is back. Anna T. is in the audience.
Encore Dance--Team Tango - Done just as well as they did it last night. Fantastic!
Backstage Interviews.- Donny mentions that he has the flu. In practice he said he was getting it but I guess he actually had it while going through his performance last night which could account for his missteps.
First Couple Safe - Kelly & Louis
First Couple in Bottom Three - Mark & Lacey
Colbie Caillat performed. I don't know who she is but I usually watch for the pro partners to dance anyway. The song wasn't bad and it was nice to see Alec and Edyta dancing together. They did a wonderful dance.
Next Couple Safe - Donny & Kym
Next Couple in Bottom Three - Michael & Anna
Mark & Derek of their band Ballas-Hough performed their new song, "Move". I love these guys but they should just stick to dancing. That performance was a waste IMO. Maybe it was just the song and they are really good, but I prefer to see them dance.
Last Two Couples Safe - Mýa & Dimitry; Joanna & Derek
Last Couple in the Bottom Three - Aaron & Karina (there is a very surprised look on Aaron's face probably because he got two 10s last night)
Rod Stewart performed and was okay. He has never been a favorite of mine but for those who like Rod, I think he did well. I did like the song and the pro partners had a good time with the dance.
First Couple Eliminated - Michael & Anna -- Tom praises Michael for his improvement and his leading Team Paso in good team spirit and talks to keep them motivated and focused together as one.
Dance-Off - Mark & Lacey go first. I thought at first that they would perform the routine that Mark would have done with Lacey had she not gotten sick, but he says that the dance is one they worked on two weeks ago when the first Dance-Off started. They perform the CHA-CHA to "I Like To Move It". ~~ Mark has done better. It seemed like he did more athletics than Cha-Cha, although what he did was good. Judges--L-You're back in your comfort zone with Lacey. It was clean, top notch performance. B-The little Cha-Cha-Cha that was there was very good. C-The way you flowed from your tricks back into your dancing was effortless and in top form.
Aaron & Karina--JIVE-"Mess Around"--Aaron thinks he has an advantage with this dance because the judges are deciding his fate and not the people at home. They loved his Jive last night. ~~ A different routine but just as good as he did the night before. That training on his fast footwork really helped him. This was a perfect dance! Judges--B-Can't believe you are in this after last night's excellent performance and this is as good. C-I have to disagree. This was better. L-You’re the Comeback Kid. Last night your Jive was brilliant. Again, right on the money.
When asked for their pick, all three Judges say that this was a very hard decision because both men did a superb job and no one is really a loser. The Judges decision is unanimous--
Aaron & Karina - Safe
Second Couple Eliminated - Mark & Lacey
Next week: Couples dance for a spot in the Semifinals. They will do two individual dances--one unlearned Ballroom dance and one unlearned Latin dance from Week 1 to Week 6.
I had a feeling that Mark would go because of his performance last night. I still wonder why Anna T. changed the routine that he worked on for two days with Lacey. I thought the replacement partner is supposed to be just that, a replacement for what the other partner started working on with the celebrity. I didn't envy the judges decision tonight.

Oh, those fanbases...Kelly should have been the bottom three instead of Aaron.
Anyone know when the couple learned their dance-off dance? I thought they mentioned it was a couple or more weeks ago. I know it was their choice, but if Week 7 was to be an unlearned dance from the first 6 weeks, then Aaron had already learned the Jive for the dance-off before he Jived for Week 7. Maybe the dance-off dance choice should have had to be a priviously learned dance. Just nitpicking..............
I was sorry to see Michael leave...he had made progress, but too late. I think he enjoyed his time on the show. I felt bad for Mark...he had a really tough week with all the partner changes. And, again, Aaron shouldn't have had to be in the dance-off.

I'm disappointed that Aaron keeps landing in the red. He more than proved himself in performance AND his dance off. Guess he doesn't have that boy band fanbase that others have, and there were boy banders in the audience (not from his brother's band so...). Add to that I don't think folks readily vote for Karina either.
Hope they keep getting top scores from the judges as he has great potential.
