Jana Kramer still dances despite injury she suffered from last week, while Rick Perry and Ryan Lochte are still lacking the technique.

AceShowbiz - "Dancing with the Stars" returned with second performances from the 13 pairs. Following the season 23 premiere that featured mostly low scores and a protest against Ryan Lochte, some celebrities have shown improvement in the "TV Night"-themed episode.

Each pair danced to TV theme song, beginning with Maureen McCormick and Artem Chigvintsev who performed a quickstep to "The Brady Bunch". The judges agreed that it was better than last week, but Julianne Hough said Maureen needed to work on the body contact. The actress/author earned 26 out of 40 points, for a total of 48 points.

Jana Kramer danced through pain after she sprained a muscle in her rib cage last week. She and Gleb Savchenko danced a tango to "One Tree Hill" theme "I Don't Want to Be". Julianne and Bruno Tonioli advised her to extend her leg, while Carrie Ann Inaba loved her effort and passion. The country music singer/actress earned 29 points for a total of 56.

Rick Perry and Emma Slater were up next, dancing a quickstep to the "Green Acres" theme. He's still bad at dancing, but the judges loved how fun it was. Even Len Goodman was being nice to him, saying, "You need more polish, but well done!" Rick earned 22 points for a total of 42.

Calvin Johnson and Lindsay Arnold danced a foxtrot to "Family Matters" theme "As Days Go By". It was a very energetic routine and the judges praised his enthusiasm. "You are so cool and easy. You are one of those people who will improve each week," Julianne said. The NFL player earned 28 for a total of 54 points.

Amber Rose and Maksim Chmerkovskiy danced a Viennese waltz to "Game of Thrones" theme, dressing up as Khaleesi and Khal Drogo respectively. Len wanted to see more ballroom technique, while Julianne noticed that Amber looked uncomfortable in her shoes. Amber earned 28 points for a total of 48.

Jake T. Austin and Jenna Johnson followed it up with a cha cha to "Go, Diego, Go!" theme song. The judges said he was ahead of the music. "You are trying to force too much," Carrie Ann said, while Julianne advised him to make a better connection with his pro partner. Jake earned 24 points for a total of 46.

Vanilla Ice and Witney Carson danced a foxtrot to "Love and Marriage" from "Married... with Children". Len loved that it had more content, but Bruno and Carrie Ann complained about Vanilla's hands. "You have to be careful the way you throw away your hands, you have to make it more lyrical," Bruno said. The rapper earned 26 points for a total of 51.

Terra Jole showed a lot of improvement as she danced a quickstep to "Bewitched" theme with Sasha Farber. The two managed to make it work despite their height difference as Bruno exclaimed, "Great connection. Outstanding!" The reality TV star earned 31 points for a total of 57.

Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds and Allison Holker danced an Argentine tango to "The X-Files" theme. Bruno loved the "sensuality" and hoped to see more from Babyface. Julianne said he's "an unexpected surprise." The R&B singer earned 30 points for a total of 56.

Laurie Hernandez and Valentin Chmerkovskiy took the stage next to dance a jive to "DuckTales" theme. It was a fun routine, with Julianne calling her Disney's Beyonce Knowles.

James Hinchcliffe and Sharna Burgess danced a paso doble to "The Walking Dead" theme. His busy schedule gave them less time to rehearse and as the result, Carrie Ann said his second dance "was not as good as last week," but she's still "impressed." Julianne said, "You are sharp you hit the movements, but your shaping is a little lacking!" The race car driver earned 29 points for a total of 60.

Marilu Henner and Derek Hough danced a foxtrot to "Taxi" theme. It was cute but felt very short. The judges all raved about their dance, with Len saying, "The dance was a Rolls Royce.

Ryan Lochte and Cheryl Burke were the last pair to dance tonight. They performed a quickstep to "The Muppet Show" theme. He's still lacking the technique as Julianne and Bruno told the Olympic swimmer to work on the frame. Ryan earned 24 points for a total of 48.

The first eliminated pair will be revealed on Tuesday, September 20 at 8 P.M. on ABC.
