The sixth live show saw the twelve remaining couples compete in a spooktacular evening of routines. This marks a important moment in the competition as the halfway point approaches, increasing the pressure on contestants to consistently deliver high-scoring performances. The leaderboard shakeup sets the stage for a fiercely competitive next week, with couples vying for a place in the final.
Elsewhere in the competition, Kai widdrington’s American Smooth to Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” was praised by one judge as “a contender for the final.”
