It’s a battle of the sexes as team dances return to the ballroom.

You had me at Everybody,Dancing With the Stars.

And then you had me again with Maks and his bandana in the artwork for TLCsCrazySexyCoolalbum.

So, yes, Boy Bands vs.

Girl Groups is theDancing With the Starsevening plucked from my dreams.

I said it before and Ill say it again: My dreams are weird.

Its a battle of the sexes!

Not for nothing, but the girls are stacked this season.

So, this should be fun!

Simone Biles and Sasha FarberSamba, Survivor by Destinys ChildIs the samba sexy?

our innocent little gymnast inquires of her partner, Sasha Sexy Is Stretching It Farber.

Sweet, naive Simone.

Here shes supposed to be sexy and empowering, but she has the gymnast smile going throughout.

The judges seem to buy it, and also Sasha is wearing gold jeans.

Bonner aint afraid of no Backstreet Boy!

Its a little harsh.

Not his best, not his worst.

Now, lets hear a little more about how proud Nick is of Sharna.

It was perfection, and even Nancy Kerrigan knows it.

Then he realizes that it is a bear of a dance style.

Peta tells him that this competition is all about personality and the journey.

It sounds a lot likeThe Bachelor, no?

He mainly looks like he wants it to be over as soon as it starts.

Ive been doing it all wrong!

Carrie Ann, Bruno, and Nick go crazy for an extremely well-executed number.

Normani hits every single move.

However, Grumpy Len is right on this one: There was little salsa content to be found.

This is intense stuff here, you guys!

David answers correctly (Backstreet), but it doesnt save his relatively low scores.

Unfortunately, Davids hit a bit of a wall this week.

The judges are much more scarred by David almost dropping Lindsay than either of those actually involved.

They toppled down the leader board, and neither of them is happy about it.

Apparently, pressure works for the guy.

Also: glitter blazer.

Rashad can rock a glitter blazer like no ones business.

His Motown-themed tango is pretty good, too.

Len loves his attack, and Carrie Ann welcomes back his ability to dance with both style and technique.

Hes back and hes ready to… rumba.

Hes also ready to get Heather some long-awaited 10s.

By the time Heather goes into her first gorgeous split, I had chills.

It is as if Maks had never left their chemistry and partner work is on point.

Carrie Ann calls it stunning.

Len cant get enough of Heathers leg action and variety in rumba movement.

Nick names it his favorite of the night.

Bruno is somewhere drooling.

Theres nothing but 10s on the menu.

So technique alone isnt going to win this for them.

Its all personality and body rolls.

So many body rolls!

The heart wants what the heart wants.

The routine is entertaining and plays to Rashad, David, Nick, and Bonners strengths.

Unfortunately, the girls night out routine is a little underwhelming.

Of course, underwhelming for these four still scores higher than the boys.

In the endHeather and Maksare eliminated.

Heres one recappers hard-hitting journalistic take on the whole thing : NOOOOOOOOO.
