Week 4's results episode started off by letting Chad and Cheryl know that they were safe. Next to breathe a sigh of relief were Jake and Chelsie! Surprising, considering that Jake didn't receive a very good review from the judges, and was in the bottom two last week, but I'm happy he'll be sticking around. My fingers are crossed that at some point, he'll dance to "On the Wings of Love."

The judges chose Pam and Damian for this week's encore dance, probably just so Len, Bruno and the rest of the male audience members could see her do that crazy split again.

Nigerian-British singer Sade performed next, and though her voice was nice, the song had me yawning. Loved the light up lantern-type decorations, the back-up singers and their costumes...didn't like the extra-large hoop earrings Sade was wearing.

It was then time for Evan and Anna to find out they were safe, and good thing! They were the highest scoring last night.

The video of the professional dancers' early careers was quite entertaining, especially learning about the cat-fights that occur in competitions. It was then time for "the future of ballroom" to perform, young talented dancers who tore up the floor. They really were incredible, I don't understand how people make their feet move that fast.

In preparation for next week's theme of movie music, there was a cheesy "Casablanca" trailer spoof for "Cha Chablanca..." really? "Cha Chablanca?" Why not "Foxtrot and the Hound?"

Nicole and Derek were the next safe duo followed by Pamela and Damian. Solid choices.

Tiler Peck and the string duet "Nuttin but Stringz" performed with the principal ballerina from the New York City Ballet, and it was awesome! I couldn't look away throughout the entire routine.
Next was yet another performance by Sade. Question: Isn't this the results show? Can we have more results and fewer performances? So far we've had an encore dance, Sade's first song, the "future of ballroom" routine, Tiler Peck's routine, and Sade's second song. All I want to know is if Kate is finally going home.

Erin and Maks were the next safe couple, yay!

Ah, you were wondering what other cheesy movie titles Dancing with the Stars could come up? Well- they didn't go with my suggestion of "Foxtrot and the Hound," they opted for "Double O-Chocinco." Alright, I'll admit it, I laughed.

Anddd, Kate is safe, leaving Aiden and Niecy in the bottom two. Unfortunately, Aiden and Edyta were voted off. I hope Kate feels terrible, because it should have been her leaving yet again! I wanted to give Auden a hug, he seemed so upset! A lot of ladies sure will be upset to see him go.

All 8 teams showcase their fancy footwork on Mondays, at 8:00-10:00 PM. The couple with the lowest combined judges' scores and public votes for both performances will be sent home.

Viewers may cast their votes for their favorite teams via phone on Monday night during and up to 30 minutes after the "Dancing with the Stars" performance shows. AT&T customers may also text message their votes by texting the word "VOTE" and entering the number that corresponds to the team they want to support (message and data rates may apply). Viewers may also vote online at www.abc.com starting from the opening of each episode on the East Coast and until 12:00 Noon, ET the following day.

Hosted by Tom Bergeron ("America's Funniest Home Videos"), the celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which will be judged by renowned Ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba, who all return for their tenth season together.
