'Dancing With the Stars' Cast of Season 19 2014 Week 4 Results & Recap: Shocking Elimination Sends One Unexpected Pair Home
ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" Season 19 rounded its 4th week in tension as results came unexpected to some.
Betsey Johnson and Tony Dovolani were eliminated, despite good feedback from the judges. Judge Carrie Ann Inaba commented, "That was phenomenal! Not only are you brave, but you are beautiful." Hollywood Take noted that the jive honored Betsey's daughter who was born in 1974. They scored 29/40.
Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy did the rumba. Hollywood Life quoted judge Julianne Hough's comment, "BJ would be very proud because you do perform from your heart. I want to commend you on your technique. That was awesome." BJ was Janel's first mentor who died of breast cancer. The pair got 36/40 with viewers as the fourth judge.
Jonathan Bennett and Allison Holker paid tribute to the 2004 "Mean Girls," where the fomer himself is the lead actor. Dancing to Samba, the pair was criticized for erratic movements. They danced to "Jingle Bell Rock" and "Milkshake," which were part of the film's soundtrack. They got 24/40.
Bethany Mota's and Derek Hough's performance took inspiration from 2009 when Bethany began posting on YouTube. At the age of 12, she was bullied by her own friends. Their rumba performance was aided by Colbie Caillat's "Try," where bully-words flashed behind them. The emotional showcase finished with Bethany wiping all those words and writing "I love who I am." They scored 33/40.
Michael Waltrip and Emma Slater did the quickstep. Apparently, the judges spotted so many mistakes. Michael said over Glamour, "I wasn't having a good night mentally. I had a lot of emotion going around with my dance, and I knew it like my name, but I lost my way there for a bit." The duo got 25/40.
Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev chose contemporary, earning themselves 39/40. All three judges gave the pair a score of 10.
Antonio Sabato Jr. and Cheryl Burke did Janet Jackson's "Love Will Never Do (Without You)." They scored 29/40.
Tommy Chong and Peta Murgatroyd danced jive to Elvis Presley. Judge Bruno Tonioli commented, "You are absolutely wonderful. The jive is very difficult--a couple of missteps there but it's hard to keep up with that." They scored 28/40.
Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas did the samba, and it was a performance that drew inspiration from 2012's "Duck Dynasty." "That was the perfect combination of content and concept," Julianne praised. The pair got 37/40.
The last pair was Alfonso Ribeiro and Witney Carson, who got a perfect 40--how? They danced "The Carlton," which was reminiscent of Alfonso's days back in "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air." The crowd simply went crazy.
