DWTS: Things Heated up on Las Vegas Night!

---

For the final night in week two of season 27 Dancing With The Stars, the celebrities were faced with the task of taking on Sin City and portraying elements of the destination in their routines. After a fun opening number danced by the pros and choreographed by Mandy Moore, we found out that one couple will be sent home at the end of the show. Check out who went all-in with their performance below!

JUAN PABLO DI PACE AND CHERYL BURKE

#TeamChernando

Foxtrot

Favorite Moment: Discovering Di Pace can do splits, when he did a switch-split jump on the couch! We approve! More splits, please!

Score: 26/30

1-800-868-3408

MILO MANHEIM AND WITNEY CARSON

#TeamWitlo

Tango

Favorite Moment: Manheim and Carson’s focus and fierceness when the music hit a strong beat. Have we mentioned that Manheim is only 17 years old!?

Score: 26/30

1-800-868-3410

DANELLE UMSTEAD AND ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV

#TeamBlindFaith

Quickstep

Favorite Moment: Umstead’s trust in Chigvintsev in allowing him to take her across the entire ballroom and use all of the floor space. We are continuously amazed by this pair!

Score: 19/30

ALEXIS REN AND ALAN BERSTEN

#TeamRenTen

Salsa

Favorite Moment: Ren and Bersten’s booty shimmies (that we [thankfully] got to see re-lived after their performance, too!).

Score: 24/30

1-800-868-3401

JOHN SCHNEIDER AND EMMA SLATER

#TeamSuperDuke

Jive

Favorite Moment: Schneider’s commitment to his role of Elvis Presley. We can tell Schneider really enjoyed this routine!

Score: 20/30

1-800-868-3407

DEMARCUS WARE AND LINDSAY ARNOLD

#TeamWaresOurMirrorBall

Quickstep

Favorite Moment: Watching Ware dance next to his idols, Boyz To Men, with a huge smile across his entire face. (Side note: Isn’t that smile CONTAGIOUS!?) Ware was like a kid in a candy store when Boyz To Men took the stage.

Score: 23/30

1-800-868-3404

JOE AMABILE AND JENNA JOHNSON

#TeamCheckUsOut

Jazz

Favorite Moment: Amabile finally letting loose and actually performing! (Okay… It was just a little bit, but we loved it!)

Score: 18/30

1-800-868-3406

EVANNA LYNCH AND KEO MOTSEPE

#TeamKevanna

Jive

Favorite Moment: Lynch’s energy and synchronization with her pro partner, Motsepe.

Score: 24/30

1-800-868-3405

BOBBY BONES AND SHARNA BURGESS

#TeamBeautyandtheGeek

Quickstep

Favorite Moment: Watching Bones and Burgess saw a woman in half, and then the other magic trick of Bones actually calming down a bit to perform his routine.

Score: 19/30

1-800-868-3402

NANCY MCKEON AND VAL CHMERKOVSKIY

#TeamMcVal

Paso Doble

Favorite Moment: McKeon’s full attack on the routine, especially when she was surrounded only by four strong male dancers.

Score: 20/30

1-800-868-3411

TINASHE AND BRANDON ARMSTRONG

#TeamFiresandFlames

Cha Cha

Favorite Moment: Tinashe’s extension into a tilt during the beats of Britney Spears’, “Circus.”

Score: 26/30

1-800-868-3413

MARY LOU RETTON AND SASHA FARBER

#TeamStickIt

Samba

Favorite Moment: Retton’s smile lighting up the stage during her entire performance. She really seems to enjoy being in the competition, and her happiness is infectious.

Score: 24/30

1-800-868-3409

Each episode viewers get to see the contestants improve and push themselves harder in hopes of taking home the Mirrorball trophy. With all of the high scores from last night’s episode, how could anyone possibly go home?

During the last moments of this Las Vegas-themed episode, we discovered #TeamSuperDuke and #TeamBlindFaith were in jeopardy. After combining scores from both nights, Umstead and Chigvintsev were sent home.

Tune in to ABC next Monday at 8/7c to keep up with the competition.
