Bottom Two: Karamo and Jenna; Sean and Linsey (This is strictly on scores. They didn't even announce as much as the bottom two this week)

Eliminated: No one! "Disney Night" didn't want to end with one. Nothing was announced, but this could mean a double-elimination soon to play catch-up if the show is still keeping with that tradition.

Geeking Out

Sailor and Val

Sailor and Val were given a waltz to "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from Cinderella, and earned another set of triple eight's again this week, for 24 out of 30. They're tied in fourth place this week, as everyone's scores close neck-and-neck with each other. Sailor in character was a dream for all the judges, though more performance in hold was the wish Len's heart made.

Karamo and Jenna

Karamo and Jenna danced the samba to "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" from The Lion King. Earning "perfect sevens" this week again, and numerically one of the bottom two again this week. Both Len and Bruno pointed out lacking technical aspects, like Karamo being slightly behind, stumpy, and needing elasticity (though Len claimed he'd be nice with it being Disney night). On the flip side, Carrie Ann praised Karamo's joy and suggested the pair tap into each other's energy.

Kate and Pasha

Kate and Pasha were given a jazz routine to "A Spoonful of Sugar" from Mary Poppins. The medicine went down and came up with straight eight's this week, a step (in time) better than last week! Of course, this week's routine was better-tailored to her strengths for a few reasons. Kate admitted to having some jazz background from college, and Carrie Ann pointed out that they opened their dance with quickstep moves—which was her best dance so far. Len was even pleased to see some polka. For a "jolly holiday" this week, they're tied in fourth place on the leaderboard.

Sean and Linsey

Sean and Linsey were given a quickstep routine to perform with "You Got a Friend in Me" from the Toy Story series. Their scores this week were just marginally better than last week—straight fives from the main judges last week and two sixes and a seven this week, his first of the season by the way—but the critiques pointed out mounds noticed improvement. Bruno could tell Sean had applied himself, and Len said he had nice leads and a good frame. Carrie Ann called it his best dance.

Ally and Sasha

Ally and Sasha danced a contemporary routine to "Tale as Old as Time" from Beauty and The Beast. Theirs was beauty and the best with first place and the first nine scores of the season! The performance was smooth, and her commitment fearless. Carrie Ann in particular praised her unique lines.

Lauren and Gleb

Lauren and Gleb danced a samba to "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid. They took a bit of a sink from first place last week, but swam quite well by the judges words. Carrie Ann made a point to recognize she had the samba bounce well-executed, which is what makes the dance difficult.

Kel and Witney

Kel and Witney danced a jazz to "We're All in This Together" from the High School Musical series. All the judges no less agreed that Kel was all in, and all that in his element with this dance! For Bruno claiming he graduated top of the class, he takes second out of the top three this week (much like last week) making the grade with 26 out of 30.

Hannah and Alan

Hannah and Alan foxtrotted to "A Whole New World" from Aladdin, and stepped into third place again this week with 25 out of 30. While Hannah drew on the "whole new world" element from a personal perspective during her rehearsal package, Len believes they could really get there performance-wise if they did more in-hold, claiming that Hannah was fantastic that way.

James and Emma

James and Emma danced a Paso Doble to "He's a Pirate", the soundtrack theme from The Pirates of the Carribean series. They sailed into third place this week, earning 26 out of 30. Carrie Ann called this routine his dance, which is what he even aspired for, coming out dramatic, strong, powerful, and dynamic.
