\n\tOne couple was changed for good during \u201cDancing With the Stars\u201d Wicked Night.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe Oct. 21 episode welcomed director John M. Chu as the guest judge as pairs danced to hit songs from \u201cWicked\u201d \u2014\u00a0with some taking on Elphaba and some taking Glinda.<\/p>\n
\n\tThis week\u2019s scores were combined with last week\u2019s dedication night. Last week, Carrie Ann Inaba recieved a bit of backlash for her criticism on certain pairs, but this week, she gave the first 10 of the season. The score came for Whitney Leavitt and Mark Ballas\u2019 quickstep. The other judges, with the exception of Derek Hough who went with a 9, agreed with Inaba. At the end of the night, Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sousa also received three 10s and one nine \u2014 Hough is saving his 10 paddle \u2014\u00a0for their stunning rumba.<\/p>\n
\n\tHough pointed out after Andy Richter and Emma Slater\u2019s jazz routine that it\u2019s the last week, \u201cso we\u2019ll see,\u201d and ultimately gave him a 6. The other judges, however, were more impressed, with the rest giving him 7s.<\/p>\n
\n\tLast week, Inaba told Danielle Fishel and Pasha Pashkov that their dances were starting to look the same. This week, she applauded Fishel\u2019s courage and said this was her breakthrough dance. Bruno Tonioli said it was \u201cthe most difficult song to choregraph\u201d and Hough complimented the difficulty of the routine, calling it \u201cmagnificent.\u201d The scores of four 9s gave them a huge boost on the leaderboard. <\/p>\n
\n\tBut it was Elaine Hendrix and Alan Bersten\u2019s contemporary routine to \u201cDefying Gravity\u201d that left everyone (including Bersten) in tears and on their feet. \u201cI am 54, I am injured and I just did that,\u201d she said after the dance through tears. She landed four 9s for the powerful routine.<\/p>\n
\n\tAfter all the dances and the scores combined from the last two weeks, Richter remained on the bottom of the leaderboard, with Leavitt returning to the top. Once the votes were added in \u2014 the show hit 100 million votes over the last two weeks \u2014 Scott Hoying was sent home.<\/p>\n
