Fans of "Mean Girls" actor Jonathan Bennett and American dancer Allison Holker were definitely devastated after the couple was liminated from "Dancing with the Stars" despite showing better performance this week.
After two weeks of getting low scores, Bennett and Holker's performance for this season's week 6 had a lot of improvement. They performed a Jazz dance to the tune of Pitbull's "Back In Time," Celeb Dirty Laundry said.
Judge Julianne Hough was obviously impressed and a report from Celeb Dirty Laundry confirmed that she did see an improvement. Italian choreographer Bruno Tonioli was quoted in the same report saying that the "man in black has his mojo back."
Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said she noticed Bennett smiling throughout their performance and it paid off. She also commended him for not giving up. Pitbull, on the other hand, praised the couple's "great selection for the song." All the judges gave them a score of 8, leaving them with a total score of 32 out of 40.
Martha Sorren wrote in Bustle.com that the 32 points the pair got was a "huge improvement," considering the "rough" few weeks they had gone through.
Meanwhile, E! Online said that Canadian comedian and actor Tommy Chong and professional race car driver Michael Waltrip have also improved.
Chong and his partner, Peta Murgatroyd, danced a Foxtrot routine to the song "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire, a separate Celeb Dirty Laundry report noted. The pair received 7 points from each judge. They had a total score of 28 points.
"Pretty Little Liars" star Janel Parish and her pair Valentin Chmerkovskiy were also praised by the judges. They got a total score of 33 points. Carrie Ann said she was amazed with them, calling their performance "phenomenal." Guest judge Pitbull and Julianne, meanwhile, both criticized them for their lack of passion.
The pair that shone during this week was actor Alfonso Ribeiro & professional dancer Witney Carson, scoring an almost perfect 40.
Actor Antonio Sabato and professional dancer Cheryl Burke, who danced Salsa, also made it to the next round, getting 28 points. Pitbull said that he had fun watching them and that their performance was sexy. He even wanted to join them.
Sadie Robertson and professional dancer Mark Ballas, who danced Rumba also made it, scoring 35 points and getting a perfect score from Pitbull. Judge Julianne said the routine was a "beautiful story about falling in love" and that she loved it. She however, noticed that they were unsure of their footing, Celeb Dirty Laundry reported.
Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev who danced Salsa scored 32 points were also saved. Michael Waltrip and Emma Slater who danced the Argentine Tango garnered 30 points while Bethany Mota and Derek Hough, who danced the Tango, got 36 points. Both pairs were also saved.
