Riker & Allison / Nastia & Derek
TIE for First Place!!
Samba Rolls and Swiveling, Salsa Hips collided Monday evening as an Epic Battle of the "Houghs" unfolded, spicing up the ballroom for DWTS' Season 20 Latin
Night!

Look out, Derek Hough, because there appears to be some
seriously bad-out dancing skillz pulsating
through your family tree!
(Props absolutely must go out to Allison, BTW, for her excellent choreography!)

I'll admit that up until Monday (Latin Night - Week 3) I still
had my doubts as to whether or not Riker would be able to hold his own against
his five-time-mirror-ball-winning professional cousin (even after last week's
performance, when Riker looked four times
as much the contender!) but the team of Riker Lynch & Allison Holker
shut (and once again dropped open some) mouths last night when they fired up the
ballroom and Riker danced his best dance to date; setting the night's standard of 34 points with an amazing Salsa!
Not to be outdone, however, Nastia
Liukin & Derek Hough readily met the young pop-rocker's challenge and closed
out the show by matching the highest score with their dynamic Samba!

Derek's choreography was, as usual, Latin
perfection.
BTW, did anyone else catch the unreal moment when the couple literally RE-WOUND a part of the Dance?!
If Bruno Tonioli won't say
it, I will; apparently, Nastia has a nasty side!
She totally killed it!!
