Luckily for Nikki Bella, who judges handed the lowest score of any of the remaining contestants on Dancing With The Stars Season 25 last Tuesday, the Oct. 2 episode was revealed as non-elimination at the start of the show.
Unfortunately for The Fearless One, the panel wasn’t crazy about the Fifty Shades of Grey-themed, non-traditional Viennese Waltz she and partner Artem Chigvintsev put together for “Guilty Pleasures Night”, either. With a score of 21, Nikki finished tied with three other celebrities for sixth place. Only one contestant scored lower.
Bella had lots of moral support in the audience to help her keep her chin up heading into the fan voting. In addition to sister Brie and sister-in-law Lauren Garcia, fiancé John Cena was there. And the 16-time WWE champ left his seat to stand with his woman, even making a pitch to judges and home voters, offering Nik his critique on camera:
“I thought it was spicy. I thought it was exciting. I thought it was sexy. I thought it was fearless. I thought it was every reason I love you.”
Will it be enough to save her when the votes come in?
Find out next Monday.
