Olympic figure skater and on-air commentator Johnny Weir and pro Britt Stewart dancing the Salsa to “On The Floor” by Jennifer Lopez featuring Pitbull.
Judges Comments: Derek: “Let’s talk about that costume, holy moly. Jennifer Lopez will be proud, I love fringe. There were a few arm connections, misses, but a great way to start the show.” Bruno: “Great performance, but salsa has to have a much more grounded action. You tended to dance it all very lifted, you have to move your hips a bit more in the salsa.” Carrie Ann: “This wasn’t your best dance for me, you had a slow start, once you were side by side you found it, I enjoyed watching it. It looked like you were very light on your feet and you have to be more grounded.” Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 7, Derek: 8, Bruno: 7 = 22/30
TV host Nev Schulman (“Catfish”) and pro Jenna Johnson dancing Jazz to “Good Vibrations” by Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch.
Judges Comments: Bruno: “Feeling good, looking good, and deliciously bonkers. At times I felt I was in a rave, then it was like Fame, I don’t know what it was but it worked.” Carrie Ann: “I felt it was amazing, you threw in every dance step possible. I was so happy, even though it was a war of two worlds. It worked, great job.” Derek: “Yeah, talk about jazz 101. You were so clean and together the entire time, I couldn’t stop laughing and smiling in a good way.” Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 9, Derek: 9, Bruno: 8 = 26/30

Judges Comments: Carrie Ann: “Wow, there is nothing more exciting than to watch someone come into their own. You are amazing in the ballroom, that was so refined, you were radiant.” Derek: “Absolutely, there is a softness about you tonight, you look like you are enjoying it, it was so beautiful and your balance was great.” Bruno: “That was a classic rumba. You pitched it right, the right balance of sensuality and romance. It wasn’t forced, your face was inspired, your lines, your shape, and your control.” Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 9, Derek: 9, Bruno: 9 = 27/30
Disney Channel actress Skai Jackson and pro Alan Bersten dancing the Cha Cha to “Say So” by Dojo Cat, featuring Nicki Minaj
Judges Comments: Derek: “It happens to the best of us, but I have to commend you for continuing on. It happens to all of us, it is part of the highs and lows. But that opening split, I was like wow girl. The cha cha moments were sharp, but it happens to the best of us.” Bruno: “The sections that you did well were good, but there were a lot of mistakes. You handled it as best as you could.” Carrie Ann: “I am really proud of you, I mean it is not easy to find yourself back. For the recovery, I would give you a ten.” Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 6, Derek: 6, Bruno: 6 = 18/30
Super Bowl Champion Vernon Davis and pro Peta Murgatroyd dancing the Cha Cha to “Celebration” by Kool & The Gang.
Judges Comments: Bruno: “Very bright, very colorful. You have the right feel for the dance, you get into it, your timing is good. But the cha cha is about the back of the foot, you have to work on it.” Carrie Ann: “I enjoy watching you dance, you are very comfortable with yourself. You have an ease about you. There were a lot of mistakes, but I want to continue to encourage you.” Derek: “I give you ten for joy every time. On a technical standpoint, it’s a cardinal sin in cha cha with heel leads.” Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 7, Derek: 7, Bruno: 7 = 21/30
GRAMMY®-winning rapper Nelly and pro Daniella Karagach dancing the Viennese Waltz to “Humble & Kind” by Tim McGraw.
Judges Comments: Carrie Ann: “I am without words really. There is so beautiful happening, the way you expressed your hands, the fluidity. One of the beautiful things about this show is we get to see the different layers in people that we didn’t know. You are a Viennese Waltz, hip hop, mega mogul.” Derek: “I don’t know how you felt in this dance but for me, the flowness of your body was incredibly masculine, it was beautiful to watch. A little more rise and fall but it was beautiful.” Bruno: “It was charming and endearing. I loved seeing you so inspired. You were turning into a swan, there was a gentleness. You were great.” Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 8, Derek: 8, Bruno: 8 = 24/30

So much passion, you have the uncanny ability to transform your character in every dance. It is all about passion.” Carrie Ann: “You are stunning, and I love how much you do, you dance at your edge.

I feel like that was a breakthrough for you. It was outward, and downward, and forward. You had the right balance, you could have had that chest opened a little more.” Derek: “When in doubt, shake it out and you shook it. It was so much fun to watch, you had a great bounce, you made it look easy, well done.” Judges Scores: Carrie Ann: 9, Derek: 9, Bruno: 9 = 27/30

It was a clinic of a samba.” Bruno: “I am a believer too, I believe in you. That was a first-class samba. You managed to look elegant in a samba.” Carrie Ann: “It was well executed, I was not super impressed.
