AceShowbiz - "Dancing with the Stars: Juniors" returned for a new episode on Sunday, November 25. The episode saw the remaining five child stars embarking on time travel on "Time Machine" night. First to hit the ballroom that night were Lindsay Arnold's pair Miles Brown and Rylee Arnold.
Miles and Rylee joined forces to dance a '50s Jive to "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley & His Comets. The 50's-themed routine was loved by the judges, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, Mandy Moore and Adam Rippon."You are here for the win, and I love that. ... You had awesome side-by-side synchronized movements," Mandy raved. "You've got so much soul. ... You were born to do this," added Val. They got a 28 out of 30.
The next performers were Mackenzie Ziegler and Sage Rosen, who are mentored by Gleb Savchenko. They did a '80s Jazz to "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen. Adam noted that Mackenzie didn't really let go during the performance, while Mandy said, "I was moved by that. ... I thought you had great content." The pair earned a 26.
Mandla Morris and Brightyn Brems, mentored by Cheryl Burke, took the stage with a Futuristic Paso Doble to "Gangsta's Paradise" by 2WEI. Adam said that Mandla has done incredible even without having dance experience, adding that he enjoyed the performance. Mandla was given a 24.
Going back in time with '40s Quickstep to "Classic" by MKTO were Ariana Greenblatt and Artyon Celestine. Of the Brandon Armstrong pair's performance, Adam said, "You are a performer I am here for. That was great." Val praised her, "You're a star." They got a 27.
Rounding out the night were Sky Brown and JT Church, mentored by Alan Bersten. The two danced a '20s Charleston to "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got)" by Stacy Ferguson a.k.a. Fergie feat. Q-Tip and GoonRock. "You've got it. ... You've got presence, charm, commitment. ... You're a star and you belong on the dance floor," Val commented. Adam added, "You bring so much joy. ... You've become such a role model on this show. If you work hard, you can be good at anything. ... I look up to you too." She got a 27.
Now it was time to announce the result. One star had to pack things up and go home at the end of the episode. The eliminated pair that night were Mandla and Brightyn.
