Who went home after audience votes were tallied and the judges put their heads together? No one.

Judge and show creator Nigel Lythgoe says no one will go home this week but two couples will exit next week.

"I want to give America the chance of seeing more of you," he explains.

In the bottom three and dancing for their lives this week were Miranda and Robert, who did a jive Wednesday night; Jordan and Tadd, who did a jazz routine; Clarice and Jess; who did a Broadway dance to Liza Minelli; and Mitchell, who was injured and did not dance Wednesday night.

Making the decisions with Lythgoe were judges Megan Mullaly and Mary Murphy, the same panel that commented on the routines Wednesday night.

In addition to the two musical performances, the results show featured a group dance by all the contestants and a leaping Cosssack dancer in bright red pants.
