Two votes went to Molly and one to Tyler, with the casting vote going to Chief Judge Shirley Ballas.
She chose to save Molly and Carlos, saying, “Well, I agree with my fellow judges, this is probably one of the hardest dance-offs we’ve ever had to choose.”
“Both couples were excellent, both improved their performance, but I’m going for what I believe in, which is a quality of movement and precision in collaboration, and I’m going for Molly and Carlos.”
Merry! She winked and waved to onlookers as she climbed into the back of a car
Happy: The former X Factor contestant continued to sport her sparkling grin
