Celebrity: James Van Der Beek
Claim to Fame: Dawson’s Creek
Pro: Emma Slater
Dance: Cha Cha Cha
Sammi: I love how Emma is able to give a good mix of his personality and technique into the routine. He’s also quite the athlete. I’m impressed with him and think he put itself in the front runner spot tonight
Len: It was a solid performance, but too many gimmicks.
Bruno: He gushes over how much he loved the ‘Broadway’ cha cha cha.
Carrie Ann: They need to work on their lines matching.
Scores: 7-6-7=20 out of 30
At least he is trying to also learn the technical terms.
Celebrity: Sailor Brinkley Cook (replacing mom Christie Brinkley)
Claim to Fame: Model
Pro: Val Chmerkovskiy
Dance: Rumba
Sammi: Her dancing is still good, but I feel like they are lacking the chemistry needed for this dance. She got the moves down pat, but without the chemistry, it seemed like a rumba by numbers.
Bruno: She is made for this dance, but she needs to link the moves.
Carrie Ann: She is lacking consistency, but she moves beautifully.
Len: She needs to work on her feet.
Scores: 6-6-6=18 out of 30
Celebrity: Ray Lewis
Claim to Fame: NFL star
Pro: Cheryl Burke
Dance: Foxtrot
Sammi: He is such a ball of sunshine. Yes, he is stiff sometimes and kind of reminds me of a dad dancing tonight, but he is so adorable. It is also obvious he is trying to learn.
Carrie Ann: He made a lot of mistakes, but she likes how fun he is to watch.
Len: He was flat footed and went wrong numerous times. His personality saved his mark.
Bruno: He always lights up the room.
Scores: 5-5-5=15 out of 30
Celebrity: Ally Brooke
Claim to Fame: Fifth Harmony
Pro: Sasha Farber
Dance: Viennese Waltz
Sammi: It was a beautiful dance, but she needs to work on her technique. I feel like she gets into her head too much and once she relaxes she will be fine.
Len: She can dance and did a lovely job, but needs to work on her technique.
Bruno: He thinks it was pretty and offers places to make it better.
Carrie Ann: She hugs her and tells her she is a dancer.
Scores: 7-6-7= 20 out of 30
Celebrity: Mary Wilson
Claim to Fame: The Supremes
Pro: Brandon Armstrong
Dance: Cha cha cha
Sammi: She looks fantastic. This dance isn’t quite her forte, but the fact that she is out there, shaking her stuff and giving us all that sass? It doesn’t even matter. She is amazing.
Bruno: Fabulous.
Carrie Ann: She made a lot of mistakes, but she worked the room.
Len: He wants her to work on her legs but enjoyed it.
Scores: 5-5-5=15 out of 30

Carrie Ann: She wants her to work on her shoulders and consistency, but loved the rest.
Len: He was a bit disappointed.
Bruno: She’s gone all nasty and he liked it.

Celebrity: Sean Spicer

Carrie Ann: Great body content and much improved.
Scores: 6-5-5= 16 out of 30

Bruno: He loves him and the routine…..despite the lack of body contact.
Carrie Ann: He is electrifying, but work on the body contact.
Len: He isn’t sure about the shoes….or the franticness and wants him to calm down.

Celebrity: Kate Flannery
Claim to Fame: The Office
Pro: Pasha Pashkov
Dance: Foxtrot
Sammi: I love Kate. She is the cutest thing ever with her personality and attitude. Her dancing is also great, she seems to really absorb what she learns and put it on the dance floor.
Carrie Ann: She is amazing and reminds her of Kelly Osborne.
Len: He has antennas and sunglasses on….and thinks she did a wonderful job.
Bruno: Foxtrot accomplished.
Scores: 7-7-7=21 out of 30
Contestant: Kel Mitchell
Claim to Fame: All That/Kenyan and Kel
Pro: Witney Carson
Dance: Samba
Sammi: His dad just had brain surgery….my heart breaks seeing how sad he is, it is obvious he loves him. I have to say, Kel has not changed since his Nick days. He is so fun to watch and makes me smile so big. While it is a basic dance, he seems to nail the steps. I now remember why he was my celeb crus as a kid.
Len: He liked the easy action and the steps. Very good job.
Bruno: It was natural and musical. He has talent.
Carrie Ann: He is smooth, but watch the bouncing.

Carrie Ann: He is improving and needs to work on the strength .
Len: Well done.
