Yes, the couple with the highest score of the night gets immunity. But it’s after that that things get fuzzy.

With Nick and Sharna safe for the week (and the proud owners of 33 out of 30 possible points, thanks to the immunity bonus), the other six couples kicked off round two. He has gotten so much better each week and this is crap!
“It’s been a really sweet process, to help me kind of grieve through it. (Allison) has been unbelievable and I have a lot of awesome friends out of it. And you all have been very lovely to me (indicating the judges and audience)”. For one, Nick Carter announced that he and his wife Lauren Kitt Carter are expecting a baby.
For Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess, it was the major experience of the season. They then did their gender reveal live on the show and they were pleased to find out they are having a boy. This one went to Carlos and Witney for two extra points. Luckily, the man he considers his influential figure is also a Salsa king. Marc encourages him to connect with his Latin roots. And boy does he! Carlos and Witney met the singer at a concert recently, with cameras in tow.
“My third favorite was Bindi and Derek who performed a foxtrot in memory of the classy Grace Kelly”. Like her husband, Taya said Alek’s true heroism is his humility. Sorry, Mark, she said after they finished, but not for the “throat slashing”. Bruises and blisters galore, and sadly, they show us her missing toenails. Andy attributed his “Icon” routine to his mom, who, according to Andy, encouraged him in a way to partake in Season 21 of “DWTS”. Carrie Ann pointed out a lift went wrong, but it didn’t matter because the pair “had such an incredible connection”. Since we are in week eight, both Julianne and Bruno said it’s time to knit-pick. They both saw problems with Bindi’s shoulders and told her to work on that tiny little posture issue. Remember? She said, “I’m probably the best dancer in the competition”.
Tamar Braxton and Val Chmerkovskiy stood tall after their Lady Gaga themed Paso Doble. It seems like the words to “Born this Way” pretty much fit Tamar. However, at the same time we also have to comment on a few of the sloppier steps and the nearly disastrous lift that was in the middle of this routine. Andy and Allison picked up the extra points from judges and viewers.
Up next with what Tom teased “an Argentine tango of Biblical proportions” were Alexa PenaVega and Mark Ballas.

Bruno waxed poetic over how hard it is to forget the back story and just judge the dance, but went on to say it was “very, very beautiful” anyway. Alek’s hero is Chris Kyle, and the “American Sniper’s” widow, Taya, weighed in on what an extraordinary guy Alek is, and just like her late husband, “ready to take action”.
