The sixth episode of the 31st season saw contestants honor the singer on Michael Bublé night, performing their dances to some of his best hits over his decades-long career.
Sadly, not all of them were able to dazzle the judges enough to keep their spot, and Jessie James Decker and her professional partner Alan Bertsen were eliminated at the end of the episode.

After delivering a salsa routine to the classic Come Dance with Me, the judges maintained that while it was full of energy, it wasn't enough to make the cut. They were ultimately scored a 41 out of a possible 50, with ten points added to the usual 40 due to Michael's spot on the judges' table.
They landed in the bottom two alongside Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater, with the judges saving the latter when Len Goodman broke the tie.
However, on the other side of the spectrum were our leaderboard toppers, Charli D'Amelio and Mark Ballas yet again, delivering a sensational foxtrot to Michael's Fever, receiving their very first perfect score.

The night was special not only for the contestants but also the hosts, mainly Derek Hough, who performed a dance with his fiancé Hayley Erbert as Michael himself sang his song Higher from his latest album of the same name.
