Then hours after that telecast, Tamar revealed that her health update was far more serious.

But the evening’s focus stayed on the remaining competitors. Tonight’s results/performances show, started off with them letting everyone know that along with the regular couples dances, they would be performing a trio dance with another dance pro onboard.
Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold will dance a waltz to “America The attractive”. But Alek’s mind wasn’t exclusively on his dance moves.
In the dance-offs, Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson danced a cha cha that out-cha-cha’d Alek and Lindsay to gain the three bonus points. After the performance finished, Bindi and Derek were chosen winners by all three arbiters, including Bruno Tonioli, Julianne Hough, and Carrie Ann Inaba. Bruno loved it, though, and said it was like watching Tarzan doing Cirque du Soleil mixed with the male strip revue Thunder From Down Under.
Bindi Irwin’s superpower? Never failing to make us smile. Did they impress the judges? Bottom line was that they all wanted to the wildlife conservationist to bring more sex appeal. Thankfully, partner Sharna Burgess gave the former Backstreet Boy a pep talk midway through their routine, telling him, “I got you”.
As Bindi takes on Nick Carter, Carlos PenaVega and Alek Skarlatos, here’s been no official word yet from ABC on whether or not someone will be eliminated at the end of tonight’s episode. Bindi and Derek and Nick and Sharna then tackled the samba, with Bindi and Derek earning the bonus 3. Nick recovered from his earlier stumble with a ideal routine, but Bindi’s turnt up sex appeal sealed the deal for the extra points.
The trio dances were led by Bindi with Derek and Mark.
For the individual routines, Bindi and Derek executed a sassy salsa. “That was like a professional contemporary dance company”, Carrie Ann declared as Bindi jumped for joy.

Peta Murgatroyd wasn’t able to join this season full-time due to an ankle injury, but she made an impressive return with Nick and Sharna. A post on the show’s Instagram page shows that they are incorporating a few tricks that are a bit reminiscent of a dance Derek Hough and Amy Purdy did in their season. Alek and Lindsay with Emma Slater danced an Argentine Tango that got them a really good 27 score. We ended with all four dancers advancing to the finals.
