Disney Plus The 'Dancing With the Stars' judges
Here is your live recap of “Dancing With the Stars” season 31 week six, Michael Bublé night — and the crooner himself is both performing and guest-judging this week. The dance styles and songs are listed below and follow along as we recap the judges’ comments and scores, but be warned of spoilers.
The Elimination
Here are the results from the elimination, but don’t keep reading if you don’t want to be spoiled.
The bottom two couples were Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater, and Jessie James Decker and Alan Bersten. When it came to the judges’ saves, Bruno voted to save Trevor and Emma, Derek voted to save Jessie and Alan, Carrie Ann voted to save Trevor and Emma, and then Len votes to save Trevor and Emma, which means Jessie and Alan are eliminated.
The original recap continues below.
Shangela & Gleb Savchenko, Tango
Shangela and Gleb are dancing a tango to the Bublé song “Hollywood.” Their dance was pretty upbeat for a tango, but it was very cute and high energy. Judge Len Goodman was especially excited about how full of content it was, calling it Shangela’s best dance this season. They earned give five 9s for a 45 out of 50.
Trevor Donovan & Emma Slater, Foxtrot
Trevor and Emma danced a foxtrot to Bublé’s cover of “Come Fly With Me.” It was lovely, maybe Trevor’s best dance so far this season. Judge Bruno Tonioli said he was “so smooth” and called it his “best performance yet.” They earned three 8s and two 9s (Carrie Ann Inaba and Tonioli) for 42 out of 50.
Gabby Windey & Val Chmerkovskiy, Rumba
Gabby and Val danced a rumba to Bublé’s song “Home.” It was good, but Gabby was correct when she said being sexy doesn’t come naturally to her. She looked a little uncomfortable at times, but the dance was still good. The judges liked it, but most of them agreed that it wasn’t as good as last week. They earned four 9s and a 10 from Bruno for a 46 out of 50.
Vinny Guadagnino & Koko Iwasaki, Cha Cha
Vinny and Koko danced a cha cha to Buble’s version of “Save the Last Dance For Me.” Vinny missed a few steps at the beginning, bu the recovered well. He’s not the strongest dancer, but he’s trying very hard and having a lot of fun, which is great. “Vin, I don’t like to say it — it was a mess,” said Len. They earned four 7s and an 8 from Michael Bublé for a 36 out of 40.
Jordin Sparks & Brandon Armstrong, Foxtrot
Jordin and Brandon danced a foxtrot to “You Make Me Feel So Young” by Bublé. They did a really nice job, Jordin is getting better and better every week. The judges were effusive at how great the dancers and the choreography interpreted the music. They earned three 9s and two 8s (Len and Derek Hough) for a 43 out of 50.
Charli D’Amelio & Mark Ballas, Foxtrot
Charli and Mark danced a foxtrot to Bublé’s cover of “Fever.” They perform up to their usual outstanding standard. “Beautiful swing and sway throughout the dance. Honestly, it was just fantastic,” said Len. Derek added, “That is the best quality foxtrot I have literally ever seen on this show.” They earn five 10s for a 50 out of 50.
Heidi D’Amelio & Artem Chigvintsev, Samba
Heidi and Artem danced a samba to “It Had Better Be Tonight (Meglio Stasera)” by Michael Bublé. Heidi and Artem looked absolutely great together, though Heidi still looks vaguely uncomfortable at times. But it was chock full of samba content. The judges really liked it and they earned four 9s and a 10 from Buble for a 46 out of 50.
Wayne Brady & Witney Carson, Quickstep
Wayne and Witney got a very late start because Wayne got sick, so they felt very behind this week. But you wouldn’t know it, they did a great job. It looked like Wayne maybe lost a few steps right at the end, but they still did very well. They earned 8s from Carrie Ann and Derek, 9s from Len and Bruno and a 10 from Buble for a 44 out of 50.
Jessie James Decker & Alan Bersten, Salsa
Jessie and Alan danced a salsa to “Come Dance With Me” by Michael Bublé. It was full of tricks, but not one of the best ones of the night. Kind of raunchy, but they did do some nice tricks. They earned four 8s and a 9 from Buble for a 41 out of 50.
Daniel Durant & Britt Stewart, Foxtrot
Daniel and Britt danced a foxtrot to “Feeling Good” by Buble. They are absolutely gorgeous, it was a fabulous dance. “That is a rich, deep and powerful song, and you captured the essence of that song beautifully,” said Buble. They earned three 9s and 8s from Len and Derek for a 43 out of 50.
