'Dancing With The Stars' Season 18 Week 8 Recap: Who Makes the Semi-Finals? (SPOILERS)
Last night was host to week eight of ABC hit reality competition show "Dancing with the Stars" This episode saw strict but fair judgment, which sent one contestant home.
Guest judge Abby Lee Miller lived up to her reputation as a tough-to-please dance instructor. She is familiar with dance competition reality shows as she hosts her own show, "Dance Moms," on Lifetime. On her show she expects perfection, and her expectations were no different on "Dancing With The Stars." She said she was looking for, "Straight legs, pointed feet, perfect musicality, inspiration, emotional changes, pretty much everything."
Derek Hough and partner Amy Purdy earned an impressive score of 79, even winning over Abby Lee Miller. This is particularly impressive considering that Amy is coming off an injury that sent her to the hospital. However she showed no signs of faltering or letting her injury affect her. She and her partner earned a high score.
