Dancing with the Stars Season 23 Halloween Nite Part 2

Part 2: The Dance-Off

Laurie / Val vs Calvin / Lindsay
Jive
Laurie and Val had a bit of a rough start, but then they did very well with lots of lifts and tricks. I thought Calvin and Lindsay gave a solid performance, but Laurie and Val's dance was better choreographed and overall better executed.
Scores:
All three judges voted for Laurie and Val, and so did America. So Laurie and Val received three bonus points.

Jana / Gleb vs Terra / Sasha
Nice strategic move Gleb (ripping his shirt off during the routine.) Jana and Gleb didn't look very spontaneous, but they were sexy and had some original moves. Terra and Sasha had a lot of enthusiasm and energy, but their moves were repetitive.
Scores:
Carrie Ann voted for Terra and Sasha. Julianne and Bruno voted for Jana and Gleb, and so did America. Three bonus points for Jana and Gleb.

Marilu / Derek vs Ryan / Cheryl
Um...they were both kind of a mess, except Ryan and Cheryl had a good middle section. Did Ryan and Cheryl dance into the desk at one point? Tom said that was his first save. I think they did. Marilu had a bad beginning and never recovered.
Scores: Carrie Ann and Julianne voted for Ryan and Cheryl. Bruno voted for Marilu and Derek. But America voted for Ryan and Cheryl. So Ryan and Cheryl got the three bonus points.

Results:

Ryan and Cheryl and Terra and Sasha were the bottom two couples, and Ryan and Cheryl were eliminated. I think it should have been Marilu and Derek. I was surprised they were safe.

Overall it was a good night of dancing, and I enjoyed the Halloween theme more than I thought I would.
