Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough were assigned the "Knight Rider Bhangra," a combination of the 1980s TV show and an Indian folk dance that Hough had no experience with. "I'd rather have mustard on ice cream as a combination," Hough said. He dressed in David Hasselhoff's signature leather and Johnson wore a sequined sari-like outfit for an lightning-fast routine that wowed the panel. "That was insane," Inaba said, pointing out that Johnson was out of breath for the first time. Goodman and Tonioli were both so enthusiastic, they stood and shouted their praise. Score: 30
Johnson and Hough's Argentine tango to "Bad" won them mixed ratings from the panel. Tonioli had only good things to say: "It was breathtaking. Is there anything you can't do?" Inaba agreed that the technique was beautiful, but "dance is more than just movement, and I think you lacked the passion," she said. Goodman thought the couple nailed both the movements and the intangibles. Score: 29, for a total of 59
