While Canada’s Top 18 waited to perform for the biggest live audience yet, host Leah Miller welcomed judges Tré Armstrong, Jean Marc Genereux, Luther Brown and Blake McGrath to the panel.

Before the dancers took the stage, Luther reminded the audience that “If you want to see your favourite dancer go through, you have to vote.”

Canada’s top dancers were ready to perform.

Prior to their mambo performance, Allie Bertram told the audience the best thing about her partner Danny Arbour was his work ethic, while Danny said he loved Allie’s smile.

The pair impressed the judges due their high energy and raw sexual chemistry.

“I love it,” said Luther, while Blake agreed it was a great way to start of the show.

Next up were Lisa Auguste and Vincent Noiseux, who performed a hip-hopping Raggedy Anne and Andy routine. Dressed as dolls, the two killed the performance.

“It was great,” said Luther and Jean Marc was amazed. “You act like professionals. You hit every single beat.”

Performing theatre were Arassay Reyes and Nico Archambault. The sexual chemistry during their performance could’ve set the stage on fire. It was hot. Very hot.

And Blake’s standing ovation was a clear sign that he and the other judges were impressed: “You delivered that story to the fullest,” he said.

Both Natalli Reznik and Francis Lafrenière lost their partners in last week’s results show. The two were eager to prove that they belonged in the competition and got down and dirty with…the paso doblé.

The twosome blew the judges and audience members away with their sensual performance.

While Kaitlyn Fitzgerald and Izaak Smith said she liked working with Izaak because he’s strong, she said he could be a bit awkward in rehearsals.

The judges loved Kaitlyn’s hip movement but felt that Izaak did not give it his all.

“I think you could be in danger this week,” Blake told Izaak.

Up next to show off their moves were Lara Smythe and Miles Faber with the Viennese Waltz.

Choreographer Amy Wright was eager to work with the couple, stating: “The Viennese Waltz is passionate and steamy and terribly romantic.”

While Miles and Lara excited the audience with their smooch last week, they once again ended their performance with an… almost kiss.

Dressed like soliders, Caroline Torti and Jesse Catibog gave it their best through their hip-hop routine. “I thought ya’ll killed it,” said Blake adding that Caroline’s lines were simply clean.

Up next were Romina D’Ugo and Dario Milard who performed the jazz pop.

“I think Romina’s a fighter,” Luther started. “You look like you’re dancing for your life every time you dance.” The judges thought that, although Dario is unique with his dance style, he needs to fight harder.

The show ended with the judge’s favourite highlights.
Thursday Night’s Results Show:

Let’s get straight to the point. Who will not move forward to next week’s competition? Romina and Dario were given the boot but watch the Top 16 perform next week at 8pm ET/PT time on CTV.
