This week the judges invited Li’l Kim and Derek to encore their Jailhouse Rock Jive, the dance that took them to the top of the leader board for the first time this season.
The first filler performance of the night was the cast of West Side Story performing “America” and doing a little something called being a triple threat before the first safe couples were announced.
Li’l Kim and Derek are the first safe couple followed by Lawrence and Edyta.
Last night Carrie Underwood became only the seventh woman to be named ACM Entertainer of the Year since the show began in 1970.
The last time a woman won the award was eight years ago when the Dixie Chicks picked up the 2001 honor.
