\n\tSPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from Tuesday night\u2019s episode of Dancing with the Stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWe\u2019re officially a month into Season 35 of Dancing with the Stars, and the contestants are starting to feel the pressure of the competition.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Taylor Hanson and Britt Stewart were eliminated last week (which shook the remaining couples awake as they were definitely not the worst ones by a mile), the competitors are all taking on Mariah Carey in Week 4. <\/p>\n

\n\tReality star Ciara Miller with Brandon Armstrong. The reality star really wanted to earn some 7s for her jazz routine to \u201cEmotions\u201d and prove she\u2019s meant to last in this competition. Carrie Ann Inaba called it her \u201cbest dance so far, my dear.\u201d Get those 7s, girl! SCORE: 21 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tParalympian Ezra Frech with Daniella Karagach. These two came out swinging with another fiery performance, this time dancing a rumba to \u201cAnytime You Need a Friend.\u201d Derek Hough was thoroughly impressed: \u201cIt was seriously sophisticated. It was.\u201d SCORE: 24 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tActor Harry Shum Jr. with Jenna Johnson. They\u2019re looking for another set of solid scores from the judges for their tango to \u201cIt\u2019s Like That.\u201d This week, Jenna goes on the Grey\u2019s Anatomy set with her celeb partner to practice in between takes. Fun fact: Harry danced in the original music video for this song, too. \u201cA red hot tango from a man on a mission! Sharp as a knife. So intense. I mean, it gave me whiplash!\u201d Bruno Tonioli says. Bonus points for the Glee reunion with former DWTS champ Amber Riley back in the ballroom to sing for this one. SCORE: 24 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tActress Jenna Dewan with Val Chmerkovskiy. Jenna is frustrated by her feedback from the judges, but she wants to take their critiques seriously. This week, she wants to focus on showing a softer and slower side to her dancing with a rumba to \u201cMy All.\u201d Watch out Season 35, Jenna Dewan found her groove! All Derek Hough could do was stand up and clap. \u201cAll I have to say is: There she is.\u201d SCORE: 24 out of 30 <\/p>\n

\n\tReality star Tyler Cameron with Sharna Burgess. Tyler managed to skate by last week thanks to Taylor\u2019s elimination, but he seems to know he needs to kick things into high gear if he wants to make it any further in the competition. This week, he and Sharna danced a foxtrot to \u201c#Beautiful.\u201d Color, well, nearly everyone surprised! The man can move! \u201cThe improvement is incredible. You should be proud of yourself,\u201d Bruno tells him. SCORE: 21 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tReality star Maura Higgins with Mark Ballas. The Traitors duo is finding their groove, and Maura is settling into her clear natural affinity for dance. This week, they are taking on a waltz to \u201cIf It\u2019s Over.\u201d She\u2019s already danced in frame, but now she wants to improve and go for higher scores. \u201cI feel like right now the world needs that kind of beauty!\u201d Carrie Ann exclaimed. SCORE: 25 out of 30 (a 9 from Carrie Ann! Maura falling to the ground in disbelief says it all.)<\/p>\n

\n\tLate-night sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez with Whitney Carson. These two took a trip to New York City for rehearsals this week, since Guillermo is there for his day job. They are dancing a samba to \u201cObsessed.\u201d As Witney says, \u201cnothing can really prepare you for the samba.\u201d He\u2019s really trying, though. And hey, the steps he did (few as there were) were in time! \u201cListen, that wasn\u2019t quite a samba, but it was 100% Guillermo,\u201d Derek says. SCORE: 15 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tSavannah Bananas midfielder Jackson Olson with Emma Slater. Jackson took a little break from rehearsals this week to celebrate his birthday, but he\u2019s still putting his all into coming back strong after some lukewarm feedback from the judges in Week 3. He\u2019s performing a waltz to \u201cWithout You.\u201d There must be something in the air this week, because he looked like a completely different dancer. \u201cI can see you almost for the first time,\u201d Bruno tells him. SCORE: 21 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tActress Tatyana Ali with Jan Ravnik. The Fresh Prince star is living ut a childhood dream dancing to Mariah Carey. And she\u2019s got the in-the-know pro this week, because Jan has toured with the pop star. They\u2019re doing a jazz dance to \u201cFantasy.\u201d After last week, can anyone be surprised that she kills it? Carrie Ann wanted her to have more energy for a jazz routine. Derek and Bruno agree. \u201cBut overall, I just love seeing what you\u2019re doing,\u201d Derek says. SCORE: 20 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tComedian and podcaster Connor Wood with Rylee Arnold. Rylee, Connor isn\u2019t sure if you\u2019ve noticed, but you tend to include grinding choreography in all of your routines. Well, the tradition continues this week, because they\u2019re dancing a rumba to \u201cTouch My Body.\u201d I mean, what\u2019s a girl to do? Unfortunately, the hips were not moving, but he did do a nice worm. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of moments where you\u2019re playing it safe,\u201d Derek says. Bruno loved it. \u201cFrisky!\u201d SCORE: 19 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tActress Julia Stiles with Ezra Sosa. Julia is riding high after receiving her highest scores last week. She\u2019s really got to impress this week with a Viennese waltz to \u201cVision of Love\u201d if she wants to keep the positive momentum going. \u201cFor me, that was a breakthrough,\u201d Carrie Ann said. Well, ok then! SCORE: 21 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tOlympian Amber Glenn with Pasha Pashkov. It\u2019s a lot of pressure to close out the night, especially as the couple who walked away with the first 8s of the season and tied at the top of the leaderboard last week. This time, they\u2019re dancing a rumba to \u201cHero.\u201d Pasha calls the dance \u201cthe ultimate test\u201d of their synchronicity as a couple. Turns out, they didn\u2019t need to worry at all. \u201cYou never lost the ability to fill the room,\u201d Bruno says. SCORE: 23 out of 30<\/p>\n

\n\tWho goes home?<\/p>\n

\n\tThe competition is getting tough, so there\u2019s not very many weeks that Guillermo can keep getting away with this, but somehow Ciara Miller and Brandon Armstrong go home on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

\n\tNext week is Super Bowl Night. Stay tuned to see what that means.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SPOILER ALERT!
