Dancing with the Stars: Halloween Night

Things were set to get spooky in the ballroom as judge Len Goodman returned to maybe put a little fear into the eight remaining teams. The dashing Mr. Goodman returned to the Judges' Table with his friends Carrie Ann Inaba, Julianne Hough and Bruno Tonioli. To make the night even more exciting, it was the season debut of the fan-favorite Team Dances! And what's a Halloween party without some great live music from up-and-coming artists Ella Henderson and Nikki Yanofsky. But the night would come to a frightful end for one couple as they faced the spectre of elimination. Who was scary good and who was just scary? Let's go to the scores!

The Quickstep is a notoriously tough dance, but it looks like Tommy and Peta had a little magic left. • Next up, Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev were hoping to scare the judges with how good their Argentine Tango could be. Rehearsals were emotional and pressure-filled, but the performance knocked Bruno out of his chair—literally! • After another great week last week, Bethany Mota and Derek Hough brought a spooky Paso Doble to the dance floor. It was a theatrical dance macabre that left the judges breathless. • The frightful fun continued as Antonio Sabato, Jr. and Cheryl Burke showed off their Viennese Waltz. But if they were trying to cast a spell on the judges, it fizzled. • The devil went down to the dance floor as Michael Waltrip and Emma Slater looked to beat the big guy with a Jive worthy of a golden paddle. Unfortunately the Jive proved a little too quick for Michael and the judges noticed. • A Pretty Little Liar was up next as Janel Parrish and Valentin Chmerkovskiy danced a Viennese Waltz to the theme song from the hit ABC Family drama. The routine was to die for, but it left Len a bit cold. • After a few weeks at the top of the leaderboard, Alfoson Ribeiro and Witney Carson had nothing to fear but the pressure of staying on top. Well, and Alfonso's groin injury. But nothing hurt about their Rumba performance and the judges' scores would certainly make anyone feel better. • Finishing up the night's individual dances, Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas brought out a creepy Paso Doble. The crowd loved it—who doesn't love a good zombie horde?—but the judges weren't so sure. • Now it was time for the Team Dances as captain Bethany led Team Itsy Bitsy in a Freestyle routine. Michael missed some practice and that had the team worried going in. But their team held strong and had the judges excited. • It was down to Team Creepy led by captain Alfonso to match their competition and end Derek's streak! To make it even tougher, all of the couples on the team were in jeopardy of elimiination. Maybe the pressure got to them because individually they did well, but had some issues staying in sync as a group. • The night had been frightfully fun for everyone, but it was time for one couple to say goodbye. It came down to Tommy & Peta and Antonio & Cheryl and this time it was a treat for Tommy and a trick for Antonio, who was eliminated.
