Its about the storytelling.

The seduction was at about a 5.

The judges were kind, though.

You have captured the heart so America, said judge Derek Hough.

The way you used your arms.

This song got me through so much, she said.Wow.

Talk about putting a lot of pressure on your contemporary dance!

But something happens to the celebs when they get to go barefoot in the ballroom.

Hannigan had her most self-assured performance yet.

Simple, effective, deeply felt and true, said judge Bruno Tonioli.

I definitely saw a different side of you and I liked it.

Seriously,so what?

Porter: Its distracting.

Wait, Porter said that!

My daring, so sophisticated, so classy, said Tonioli.

That a cappella section, you were so on it.

Im sure shed like a mirror ball trophy to top it all off.

Shes definitely headed to the final three.

You do not miss a moment, said judge Carrie Ann Inaba.

But if it still felt raw in the ballroom Tuesday, itdefinitelydidnt show.

Gomez remains the frontrunner to beat.

So absolutely pristine, said Tonioli.

Girl you are a black panther out there, said Inaba.Score:A perfect 40

The Dance Off.

Hannigan v. Jowsey.The two had to compete against other with the rumba.

Oh, and Porter called Jowsey a tree trunk for Arnold to dance around.Lovely.

Guess he didnt get Porters vote!

Both of you have grown so much and it was really a pleasure to see that.

Harry, you were telling the story, Inaba said.

Allison, you danced little tiny circles around Harry.Winner: Hannigan

Mraz v. Williams.

The two were tasked with the salsa.

This was a tough one to focus on because both men made HUGE moves to get the judges attention.

It wasso closeuntil Greg Brady threw open his shirt to show off his freshly shaved chest.

The audience chanted his name after it was over!

Mraz knew he was toast after that.

Barry when I grow up I want to be like you, said Hough.

I mean, the gyration.

The movement and you are such a competitor!

Like host Alfonso Ribeiro said, it was a battle of the titans.

That was really good and exciting to watch, said Inaba.

You were both competitive but one of you was just a little more competitive.

I really loved seeing that.

It was like, eye of the tiger.

Both of you, fantastic.Winner:Lawson.

Bottom threee were Williams, Mraz and Lawson.

But it was Williams time to go.

He broke up talking to Ribeiro and Julianne Hough.

Next week is Taylor Swift night.
