Not even 10-year-old Carrie Ann Inaba could save this talented celebrity from elimination.

Tough night for a baseball player And ballroom fan; When it’s Game 4 of the World Series and your team is one W away from the championship, should the Viennese Waltz really matter?

Hell yeah, that’s how it should be! Thank God for some TVs and Freddie Freeman. And owes a lot to those ABC censors who didn’t let us see the Bruno clips in that stupid opening sequence with Derek Hough.

Olympic rugby player Ilona Maher with partner Alan Bersten. The judges want to see more dancing from the effervescent athlete, so Bersten filled his tango with lots of kicks and spins as they performed it to “Psycho Killer.” Something clicked for Maher; she was much more graceful this week. “I can really see that the work is very, very hard, especially on the frame,” said judge Bruno Tonioli. “Lots of content, but footwork still needs to be perfected… Much better.” Check: 24 out of 30

NBA champion Dwight Howard with partner Daniella Karagach. Karagach gave her partner some tough love, saying he didn’t get through a single performance without making a mistake. Hooray! Fortunately for the champion, Karagach loves nothing more than to stage memorable modern numbers with lots of breathtaking moves. Once again, she did not disappoint: the judges were simply blown away by the dynamic duo. “We dance with such intensity,” Inaba said. “To be honest, I wasn’t sure you’d ever go there.” You left nothing behind tonight!” Check: 28 out of 30

Jenn Tran (Bachelorette party) with partner Sasha Farber: Season 32 celebrity Alyson Hannigan visited the duo at rehearsal only to talk about what it was like to act scared. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Thank you? The only problem was that there was nothing scary about their modern worship of sexy vampires. Damn good! “Queen of the Damned! You really got into that performance,” Tonioli said. – In fact, you were the main one in the dance and won it, dear. Check: 28 out of 30

Super Bowl champion Danny Amendola with partner Witney Carson. Amendola has plenty of masculinity for his Argentine tango – and he’s a master at throwing his partner around – but his timing was bad and he could use a little more passion. However, the judges saw differently. “It was so fantastic,” Hough said. “You are a fantastic partner for Whitney. I will say this, the connective tissue… your shoulders become a little hunched and tense.” Check: 28 out of 30

Olympian Stephen Nedoroschik with partner Riley Arnold: The gymnast had to perform a zombie-like figure who walks on his hands in the modern routine, which more than made up for his results at the bottom of the leaderboard last week. “In my opinion, everyone performed very well today, but without a doubt this was the best!” – said Inaba.

BachelorJoey Graziadei with partner Jenna Johnson. The professional decided that the best way to demonstrate the bona fides of Graziadea’s protagonist was to have him play puppeteer for her flexible puppet. It worked! Their Argentine tango was, as Tonioli said, fascinating. “You’re a real puppeteer because you’re always in control, and that’s a compliment,” Hough said. “There were two moments where the elevators seemed a little unstable, but my friend, you are amazing.” Check: 29 out of 30

Chandler Kinney (ur.Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin) with partner Brandon Armstrong. Kinney ended the partner part of the evening with a flawless Viennese waltz to the theme music Pretty Little Liars. This lady is damn pretty (no matter what Inaba says). “The beauty and the feeling of a ghost,” Tonioli said. “The quality of the movements… it was truly exquisite.” Check: 29 out of 30

Dance-off.

Kinney and Armstrong have immunity due to their previous results. Couples compete with each other, performing a dance in the same style.

Howard vs. Maher: Neither couple showed mastery of the cha-cha, but Maher had more energy. However, the judges won’t let that stop them from nominating the Olympian for elimination. “You both have come so far in this competition,” Inaba said. “I thought you were off to a good start, Dwight. Ilona, ​​you were more tech savvy than Dwight. Winner: Howard

Tran v. Low price: The gymnast tried to upstage Tran’s salsa with his gymnastic prowess, but the bachelor’s technical ability couldn’t be beat. “It’s a lot of fun,” Hough said. “For me, Jenn and Sasha, you dug right into it, there was a lot of content there.” Winner: Tran

Graziadei vs. Amendola: This is a beauty! But honestly, didn’t you predict the winner before they even started jumping? Wow, this Johnson is a great choreographer. “Six Pack Battle!” – Tonioli said. “There was so much testosterone there. You guys worked so hard and did it so well. The energy was out of this world.” Winner: Graziadei

Hell, talk about breaking a record: Another voting milestone was reached on Tuesday.

Rounding out the top three celebrities are Kinney, Tran and Nedoroshik.

It was Tran’s turn to leave. Completely undeserved.

DVTS leaves for elections next week. Vote, people!
