No elimination tonight on DANCING WITH THE STARS – hooray! After last week’s dreadful goodbye to Willow Shields & Mark Ballas, tonight’s show was a pleasant reprieve, until tomorrow’s results show, that is. Trio night on DWTS and only one couple perfected the night with a total of 80 points for two dances…Rumer Willis & Val Chmerkovskiy! They did the Rumba to a perfect 40 and then sealed the deal with their trio dance, the Paso Doble. Right behind them is Riker Lynch & Allison Holker who ended the night with 78 points. Nastia Liukin & Derek Hough, as well as Sasha Farber, came in third with 76 points. The bottom three couples with 64 points – Chris Soules & Witney Carson, 63 points – Noah Galloway & Sharna Burgess, and 62 points – Robert Herjavec & Kym Johnson round out the six couples left. However, tomorrow two duos will be eliminated and four will head on to the semi finals. Stay tuned.
