It's Rumer versus Riker. In the end anyway. And the odds have them pretty evenly matched here at BookMaker. For now anyway.
Going into Tuesday’s elimination show, all four remaining celebrity competitors looked like they could make it to the finale. By the time the credits rolled this was no longer the case. There are two front-runners and a long-shot.
Rumer, gymnast Nastia Liukin, musician Riker Lynch, and war hero Noah Galloway all did two dances, the last of which was “Judges’ Choice,” in which Len Goodman, Bruno Tonioli, Carrie Ann Inaba and Julianne Hough each mentored a contestant.
After Rumer’s first dance, a Viennese waltz, mom Demi Moore showed up backstage to give her a hug on live TV and praise her performance: “I’m truly in awe.” That could bolster votes. Or hurt.
For her second dance, Judge Tonioli chose an elaborate “Black Swan” style number for her and partner Val Chmerkovskiy that got great scores.
Rumer earned a perfect score of 70 out of 70 for the two combined dances.
Musician Riker Lynch and gymnast Nastia Liukin both received 70s for the night. Throughout the season Nastia has fallen out of favor while Riker has only ascended.
Judge Julianne Hough mentored her cousin Lynch (whose partner is Allison Holker), and even danced with him during one routine.
Derek Hough was finally able to dance again for a complete number with Liukin after an injury marred his “DWTS” season and pro Sasha Farber had stepped in.
Meanwhile, double amputee military hero Noah Galloway thrilled the crowd by proposing to his girlfriend Jamie Boyd on camera. Even so, he received a score of 66 out of 70 for his two dances, the lowest score of the night.
ABC’s Tuesday results show revealed which three stars would go on to next week’s finale.
Throughout the season the judges have called Galloway an inspiration, but it wasn’t enough to inspire voters to put him through to the final round easily. Him proposing midway through the episode could buoy him between this week and next, but it's not like America had a hard time liking him. His performances were galvanizing initially but he needs to take it to the next level to win. Still, his +700 odds are solid.
After a season spent at the top of the leaderboard and a semifinal round in which they earned perfect scores for both of their dances, Riker Lynch and partner breezed through one more time. Lynch's desirable +200 odds render him the contestant we can make some sweet coin on.
Like Riker, Olympic gold medalist Nastia has consistently been at the top of the leaderboard throughout the season. But she has been dipping in the pizzazz department and it was announced that she is in jeopardy.
Rumer Willis came in third in Monday night’s semifinal round, but has uniformly been at the top of the leaderboard this season. Still, she wound up in what the ratings-starved producers of the show call "jeopardy."
Who Went Home: Nastia was sent home.
