The judges sent home the California contemporary dancer's original partner this week, but he performed brilliantly with Jeanine.

Parting is such sweet sorrow! Without his Juliet, Melissa Sandvig, Romeo couldn't bring the funk to new partner Janette and ended up in the bottom four.
The Colorado jazz-contemporary dancer shocked the judges by ending up in the bottom six with both partners Max Kapitannikov (eliminated in week two) and Kupono Aweau. This week, at least, the critics' darling fared better with Evan.
