Nigel Lythgoe…THE DARK KNIGHT. Travis Wall THE BOY WONDER. Travis Wall thought judging was tough, especially when he has to work with the contestants next week! Carmen Electra is nowhere to be found. Boo hoo.

Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet, plus Florence and the Machine will perform tonight!

Time to pimp National Dance Day on July 31. There are 3 routines online you can learn, depending on your skill and experience.

Melanie & Marko and Caitlyn & Mitchell are up first. And of course both couples are SAFE.

The next 3 couples are: Ashley & Chris and they are IN THE BOTTOM 3. They knew it. Nigel says they didn’t quite get the style (salsa). Clarice & Jess and Jordan & Tadd are next. Clarice and Jess are SAFE. Jordan & Tadd are IN THE BOTTOM 3. Mary says she is shocked. Maybe the viewers went to the kitchen for a snack during their performance, she says.

The last couples are Ryan & Ricky and Sasha & Alexander Ryan & Ricky are IN DANGER. Sasha & Alexander are SAFE. Travis is really really really surprised that Ryan & Ricky are in the bottom. He tells them to put away their nervousness and concentrate on their solos.

Cedar Lake Contemporary ballet are next.

RESULTS!

The girl leaving tonight… Nigel says all the girls are beautiful. Nigel says all the dancers in trouble have to up their game if they stay. Jordan has fantastic legs, but she has to offer more. We love you Ryan. Ashley has been good on a high level, but she hasn’t peaked. Ashley is going home tonight.

The guy leaving tonight… Nigel says Ricky is one of the best contemporary dancers, but is not connecting. Chris always brings out his best for Dance for You Life. Travis really wants to work with Tadd.

Chris is eliminated tonight.
