A night of daring moves, pushing through injuries, and double elimination certainly brought drama to the ballroom this week.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing their success from last week, <strong>Robert Irwin<\/strong> and <strong>Witney Carson<\/strong> pulled off <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=1lFYf9L5PyE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an impressively smooth tango<\/a> to \u201cMove Your Feet\u201d that led them to once again tied for the top of the leaderboard this week. Their mid-routine addition of some early 2000\u2019s-inspired robot moves brought a touch of fun flair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Whitney Leavitt<\/strong> and <strong>Mark Ballas<\/strong> also continued their battle for the top spot with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=F3azqXF_oUk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fiery cha cha<\/a> to \u201cPlay That Funky Music\u201d that had Leavitt ending in an impressive split between Ballas\u2019 legs.<\/p>\n<p>Also part of the four-way tie for first place this week was Leavitt\u2019s <em>Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/em> co-star <strong>Jen Affleck<\/strong> and her partner <strong>Jan Ravnik<\/strong>. Their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=a_sroMIR2Ww\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quickstep routine<\/a> to \u201cTake On Me\u201d started with Affleck wiping off and dancing on a countertop, a cheeky reference to her TikTok videos where she often dances on her kitchen island at home.<\/p>\n<p>The final pairing that were part of the four-way tie were <strong data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"395\">Jordan Chiles<\/strong> and<strong data-start=\"366\" data-end=\"395\"> Ezra Sosa<\/strong>. Their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Gx4PD2Jw1wg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">energetic jive<\/a> to \u201cManiac\u201d impressed the judges, with Chiles even pulling off a massive leap over Sosa\u2019s head at one point in the routine. This was a huge leap forward for them, since they were near the bottom of the leaderboard after week one.<\/p>\n<p>Another notable moment of the night was when <strong>Danielle Fishel<\/strong> revealed that she <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/dancing-with-the-stars-full-recap-one-hit-wonders-night-11815931\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tore her hamstring<\/a> during rehearsals and then a deep tissue massage \u201cbroke every blood vessel\u201d in the back of her leg.

Davis and Feldman both seemed to struggle a bit to keep up with their professional partners during their routines.<\/p>\n<p>Upon their elimination, both celebrity contestants expressed that they were <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/who-was-eliminated-from-dancing-with-the-stars-11815667\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trying their best<\/a> for their professional partners. Davis said he wanted to win for Stewart, and then added, \u201cI haven\u2019t been coached in a while, so to get off my butt was awesome.\u201d Feldman expressed similar sentiments, saying, \u201cI feel really terrible because [Johnson] deserved better.
