The scores were added to each pair’s individual performances from earlier in the night and in the end, Brown, 38, and Johnson, 25, received some horrifying news: that they would be eliminated after landing among the bottom two pairs with Flannery, 55, and Pashkov.
JudgeCarrie Ann Inaba votedto save Brown, while Bruno Tonioli wanted to keep Flannery around. Ultimately head judge Len Goodman saved the actress and her partner.
Jenna Johnson
Brown and Johnson performed a Paso Doble to Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor” and received two 8s and a 9 from the judges.
“You were really on it,” Goodman, 75, told the pair. “You didn’t lose what you wanted to do.”
But despite landing in the middle of the pack with their individual score of 25, (Spicer, 48, received the lowest individual score, a 16 out of 30, for his jive to “Monster Mash”), Brown and Johnson’s journey on season 28 ended Monday night.

But the “Road Less Traveled” singer admitted to hostErin Andrews, “I have four hurt ribs.”
“When she said my core looked strong I looked straight at Gleb because all I have been trying to do is pretend my ribs aren’t broken this whole competition,” Alaina continued. “I fractured the one on the left the first week of the show and I haven’t had these X-rayed, but they don’t feel great.”
Alaina preserved though, nabbing a trio of 9s from the judges that put her and Savchenko through to next week’s show.
