'Dancing with the Stars' Jonathan Bennett Eliminated Despite Improvement on Pitbull Night
TV

Jonathan is sent packing following poor dances in the previous two weeks, but he shows improvement in his jazz in the latest episode.

AceShowbiz - Following the Switch-Up last week, the celebrity contestants were reunited with their original pro dancing partners in the latest episode of "Dancing with the Stars". They danced to Pitbull's personal and favorite tracks.

The rapper joined Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba and Julianne Hough in the judging panel to fill in for Len Goodman who is still in England. Leah Remini, meanwhile, served as a guest co-host, replacing Erin Andrews who is busy with the World Series.

Jonathan Bennett and Allison Holker were the first to dance that night. They performed a jazz to "Back in Time". The judges were full of praise as Julianne said she saw improvement. Jonathan earned 32 out of 40 points.

Janel Parrish and Val Chmerkovskiy danced a samba to "La Vida Es Un Carnaval". The judges saw the good and the bad on the routine as Carrie Ann said, "It was a phenomenal performance but you were off balance." Pitbull, however, thought that there wasn't any passion. The judges gave the actress 33 points.

Tommy Chong and Peta Murgatroyd danced a foxtrot to "September". The judges liked it. "That was so awesome, Tommy from week 1. I think that you could be in the competition for a long time," Julianne said, but the comedian only earned 28 points.

Antonio Sabato Jr. and Cheryl Burke's salsa to "Bailando" was dubbed "sexy" by Pitbull. Julianne said Antonio was "too loose," and Bruno advised him to "transfer your weight properly." The actor also earned 28 points.

Sadie Robertson and Mark Ballas told a love story with their samba to Rihanna's "Diamonds". Julianne criticized her footing, but Pitbull said it was "powerful." The reality TV star got 10 points from the rapper for a total score of 35.

Lea Thompson and Artem Chigvintsev danced a salsa to "Sexy People (The Fiat Song)". Bruno loved her arms but told her to be careful with her shoulders. Carrie Ann was "disappointed" though. "I think you have to play to your strengths, stop competing," she commented. Julianne agreed with Carrie Ann and told the actress to trust herself. The judges gave her 32 points.

Michael Waltrip had very little dancing during his Argentine tango with Emma Slater, but the judges didn't complain about it. Carrie Ann said he was "composed and elegant," while Bruno praised the NASCAR driver's "dedication." He earned 30 points.

Bethany Mota and Derek Hough danced a tango. There was a slip-up, but they handled it well. Julianne said the routine was "pure" and "sharp" and Carrie Ann said she was "blown away." The judges gave 9 each for a total of 36 points.

Alfonso Ribeiro had a groin injury last week and Witney Carson got injured a few hours before their performance that night, but they nailed their salsa. "You got me, I could have danced all night," Bruno said. Pitbull gushed, "You had it, that's what I'm talkin' about." Julianne, however, thought "there was a lot of hip hop." Alfonso earned 39 points and led the scoreboard.

After all nine pairs performed, Jonathan and Allison were sent home at the end of the night based on the combination of scores and votes for the performances on the previous two weeks.
