Every 'Dancing With the Stars' season 31 Elvis night performance, ranked from worst to best

While judge Bruno Tonioli criticized the duo's performance, judge Derek Hough told the pair, "We all make mistakes."

Hough also praised Ladd's "ferocity" and passion for dance. And judge Len Goodman called the performance "a proper tango."

Ladd and Van Amstel landed in the bottom two, and the judges were split on whether or not to send them home. However, Goodman's vote for Ladd and Van Amstel as head judge broke the tie, and the pair made it to the next round.

Goodman said Giudice's performance was "bright and lively" but he couldn't ignore all of the mistakes in the leg work.

Judge Carrie Ann Inaba said she noticed that the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star really "focused on learning how to dance" this week and said the dance had "integrity."

Giudice's performance couldn't save her from elimination though. She landed in the bottom two alongside Ladd, and Goodman voted to save Ladd in a tiebreaker.

"That could have been a catastrophe, but it wasn't," Hough said of the performance. Inaba praised Baena in particular, saying, "It was impressive that he was genuinely leading."

And Goodman told the duo that he liked Baena's more "gentle" side.

Goodman said Decker's legs looked "stronger" and she showed "improvement" from last week.

Tonioli said she was a "sexy lady" and should "use it" but needed to learn how to "glide" in the next step of her dancing journey.

Decker was in the bottom three, but viewers saved her from facing the judges' vote.

Several of the judges praised Burke's tough-as-nails approach for this week's dance to "Heartbreak Hotel."

"She gets results," Tonioli said of Burke's "bossy" teaching method. And Hough joked, "Listen, dance mom Cheryl, she gets results."

Inaba, for her part, called the waltz "sultry."

Hough said Sparks had an "amazing performance quality," but that she should watch her arms in frame.

"She attacks like a cat," Tonioli said of the singer's performance. He added that there were a few "incidents" in the performance.

"You don't have to be a dancer when you start, you just have to be willing to become one," Inaba said to Sparks.

"You went all in and it paid off," Goodman said of the pair's performance. Hough praised Guadagnino as well, saying, "This week you were in total control."

Tonioli also chimed in, calling Guadagnino a "contender."

Goodman praised the elder D'Amelio's "elegance" and "beautiful musicality" through her arms, but thought she "needed more freedom."

Hough echoed Goodman's sentiment, saying of Heidi: "She has the technique, but needs more feeling."

And Inaba said she could see "trust building" between the duo.

Tonioli said Blair made the dance hers and "made it work." Inaba pointed out that she lost time after she did a split in her dance but said "the split was worth it."

The quickstep proved challenging for Shangela, as the judges noticed a mistake she made that she tried to gloss over but eventually admitted.

Despite the mistake, Inaba said she was a "sharp" performer and Goodman said the dance "had all the energy of an Elvis concert."

Durant and Stewart impressed everyone so much that even host Tyra Banks couldn't help but comment on Durant's "sexy" stank face.

"Long live the king," was all Tonioli could say.

Inaba admitted that the dance was hard to judge because she was so "in awe" of Durant.

Donovan said on last week's season premiere that he was afraid to dance but Hough urged him to accept the fact that he actually loved it and called the rumba "exceptional."

Tonioli said it was the best rumba he'd seen from a man in week two, while Inaba exclaimed, "You're going to be on a lot of people's minds tonight!"

Goodman compared Donovan's transformation to a caterpillar's.

Tonioli said he was "totally swept away" by the pair's performance, and Goodman called their waltz "soft, like a whisper."

Tonioli called the dance "delicious" and compared Charli's movement to a hummingbird's. Inaba called Charli and Ballas a "quirky match made in heaven."

Brady had an injured knee but Tonioli was impressed by all of the Elvis nuances he hit on the right beats.

Goodman said there was "no messin', no stressin'" and called the dance a "proper" jive.

Hough said Brady had the "best kicks and flicks" of all the jives that night.
