Nigel said it was probably for the best that the vote was left to America, because it might save the judges from having to make a couple of particular cuts. He wouldn't name names, but he was suggesting that the audience likely saved someone who might not deserve it.
To the results: The first three couples to the stage included Ryan & Ellenore, who were ripped apart by Nigel, in particular, for a shaky hip hop routine. They landed in the bottom three. Adam said he wasn't surprised, but said he was excited to see their solos.
Channing & Victor were up next. They turned in a quality contemporary routine, but Nigel was underwhelmed because they were both dancing in their specialty. Kathryn & Legacy's Broadway routine was missing a bit of chemistry, according to Mary Murphy, but Legacy floored the judges with his improvement and growth.
The first of the two couples safe was Channing & Victor. That left Legacy & Kathryn standing on the stage when Cat Deeley asked them, "What are you still doing here?" Then she got all giddy while telling them they were safe.
Later, Ashleigh & Jakob faced their fate. Their Mandy Moore jazz routine earned rave reviews from the judges, who called them "stunning" and "elegant" and "mature, but fiery." They were safe.
Up next were Pauline & Peter, whose quickstep earned high marks for performance, but some serious criticism for technical precision. Noelle & Russell were reminded of their African jazz routine and the judges' comments about their commitment to the characters and how good of a job they did. Nigel even called Russell "the star of this season." The second couple in danger was Pauline & Peter. Noelle & Russell were safe. Mary said she was "not really surprised" by the result, saying they didn't find the magic Tuesday night but would have another chance to find it with their solos.
Finally, Karen & Kevin and Mollee & Nathan came to center stage to find out which pair was the third one in danger. Karen & Kevin's Hustle "absolutely delighted" Nigel, and Mary thought Karen was "amazing" and called her "a Hustle Queen." Mollee & Nathan, clear fan favorites, on the other hand, were shredded by the judges on Tuesday after their salsa. Mary said it was "French fried" and Adam said it exposed all of their weaknesses. Nigel told them, "Hopefully you've learned this week that you're not great at everything." Mollee & Nathan appeared stunned to learn they were safe. Karen & Kevin were in danger.
Nigel said, "If we're basing it purely on dance, I think America's got it wrong." He said America protected Nathan & Mollee. Nigel said he was afraid Nathan would not be learning any lessons from this week, because after Nigel told them on Tuesday that they should have learned they weren't great at everything, Nathan replied that he thought they were "friggin' hot!" "I think it was an immature reply, and I think he needs to grow," Nigel said, prompting a chorus of boos. He said it was sad that he was saved because a lot of young ladies like him, "not because of his dancing."
That meant the bottom three couples were Ellenore & Ryan, Pauline & Peter, and Karen & Kevin.

Who's going home? Nigel said the judges didn't think any of the girls gave a good enough solo. He said none of them lived up to the standard set by some of Season 5's dancers. He told Karen that some younger voters might be intimidated by her sexuality. Ellenore stepped forward next and Nigel told her to be careful not to lose her competitive edge while trying to be quirky. Nigel told Pauline she'd gotten by on her charisma more than her dancing, and he told her she was leaving the competition.
Nigel said the judges were unanimous with both of their decisions. He told Ryan that his backflip ending in his solo was weak and compared him to Ade from Season 5. He next told Peter that he hadn't shown much star quality yet this season. Nigel told Kevin he was improving week after week "and we are going to invest in you a little longer." He asked Kevin to step back, then asked Peter to step forward again and told him that he, the third tap dancer in two weeks, was going home.
