The music of Taylor Swift inspires quarterfinalists Alyson Hannigan, Ariana Madix, Charity Lawson, Harry Jowsey, Jason Mraz, and Xochitl Gomez — but who got inspired to their first perfect score and who got inspired right out the door?<\/h2>\n

The power of Taylor Swift<\/strong> cannot be denied and it was certainly felt as she brought all of her Eras to the Dancing with the Stars<\/strong><\/em> ballroom. She also lent the show her choreographer, Mandy Moore<\/strong>, who’s no stranger to these dance competition shows.<\/p>\n

Mandy joined the judging panel and was pretty tough on the final six couples as they battle one another and again waited to see if anything could knock social media star Harry Jowsey<\/strong> out of the competition. We’re not trying to pick on the guy, but he’s clearly been outclassed and seen stronger dancers go before him week after week after week at this point.<\/p>\n

There were two rounds of competition tonight, but not complete ones. After dancing first to their respective favorite Swift songs, the couples were again paired up for a dance relay where they took turns dancing the same style to the same song, with each taking about half of the song. This allowed the judges to focus entirely on each couple individually before judging them.<\/p>\n

After seeing the first perfect score by a couple last week, this week delivered another one — but absolutely not from a couple you were expecting. Something switched between last week and this week and this celebrity came out as a whole new person and<\/em> dancer this week. Who was it? You’ll just have to read on to find out.<\/p>\n

Who do I think I am? you ask. Well, I spent nearly a decade of my life sweating and bleeding to the music as a dancer. From a young boy learning a shuffle-ball-change to performing with the St. Louis Ballet Company, I experienced the ups and downs of one of the most difficult physically demanding sports on the planet. During this time, I was also a member of the St. Louis Symphony Youth Orchestra, as well as a gymnast, writer and cartoonist. I had a lot more energy in my younger years. And I’ve spent the last twenty years analyzing and critiquing reality competition shows for various media publications. I’ve got this.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fair warning, since I’m safe at home, I’m probably going to be a little harsher than my colleagues <\/em>Carrie Ann Inaba<\/strong><\/em>, <\/em>Derek Hough<\/strong><\/em>, <\/em>Mandy Moore<\/strong><\/em>, and <\/em>Bruno Tonioli<\/strong><\/em>. But I might be nicer, too. Maybe.<\/em><\/p>\n

We’re all for the pros getting their chance to show off, but with only six couples remaining, this felt like an opportunity to offer up two full rounds of dance. This is the quarterfinals, so when are we really going to challenge them by making them learn two different choreographed numbers if not now? It seemed an odd choice when clearly there was plenty of time. But at least these dances were stunning.<\/p>\n
