At the top of every results show, viewers are intensely asked: WHOSE JOURNEY WILL END?
Seriously, its in all caps.
Because of Americas Face-Off (you know, that pesky presidential debate), competition night was condensed.

To fit 12 dances in, the judges were basically given the shaft.
Frankly, I missed those guys.
Lets review:
Both Babyface and Allisons and Jana and Glebs jives were a little shaky.
The judges thought Babyface needed to be much sharper in his movements.
Janas kicks and flicks ended up giving her the edge in this matchup.
Apparently, the latestDWTStradition is to have a shot of Gleb in his underwear during each results show.
I dont hate it?
Tonight hes joined by Artem, so Idefinitelydont hate that.
But the greatest gift is yet to come: a photo of Len and Bruno modeling their underwear.
We get another look at James and Sharnas super-smooth cha cha, and I still think he was underscored.
Bruno wanted better footwork from our IndyCar driver, but he definitely got into the spirit of the dance.
You know who doesnt care about that?
Shes Cuban and knows how to cha cha and shes so proud of her grandson.
Its nice to see Ryan enjoying himself and this process so much.
Cheryl wanted to show off more of her partners personality; mission accomplished.
The best face-off of the night was Terra and Sasha vs. Calvin and Lindsay.
Both performed some classy Viennese waltzes.
Terras is very emotional and light, and Julianne was super impressed with her lines and frame.
But the real story here is Calvin.
Hes not used to being delicate and graceful, but thats what Lindsay needs from him.
Hes enjoying showing his softer side and it makes the dance better.
All the judges agree: Megatrons a contender.
NEXT: The Chmerkovskiys make me wanna shout
The biggest problem with Amber and Maks salsa to J.
Los Big Booty is it was more hip-hop than salsa.
GLITTER JEANS, JULIANNE.
Its like glitter jeans mean nothing to people these days.
So, of course, Maureen and Artems traditional salsa wins over the judges.
She has a few missteps, but she gets the major salsa steps down.
He loves soccer, drawing, and girls.
Even Derek, known for his positivity, looks pretty disappointed.
I have a feeling these two will be just fine.
Its Derek, you guys!
Theres some pretty great routines tonight to soften the blow.
The pro and troupe gals come together for a sexy (too sexy?)
number from Mandy Moore.
Its mainly just an excuse for Jenna to serve us face, as she was born to do.
Speaking of Jenna, she and Keo (come back to us, Keo!)
dance a beautiful routine to the soothing tunes of Florida Georgia Line.
More of that, just!
Is Allison the most underrated pro?
What is this new glorious world were living in?
The boys and Co.dance.
Maks even lets Carrie Ann slap his butt.
I NEVER WANT TO LEAVE THIS PLACE.
Second, Len is going to be gone for a few weeks to go judgeStrictly Come Dancingin the UK.
They venture to ease our pain with a number from the troupe, but it doesnt help.
There were sparkles, so obviously it was fabulous.
Enough with the sparkles, though (theres never enough) its time to get our results on.
Out of last nights six losing couples, three are put in jeopardy.
The second couple to leave the ballroom in season 23 isRick and Emma.
What you think,Dancing buddies?
Did the right couple go home?
And is the upcoming Cirque du Soleil theme stacked for Laurie?
