Notes

  1. 1 2 3 4 Due to the absence of Len Goodman, the couples were scored on a 30-point scale.

  3. ↑ In the second round, the dance order changed so that Jana & Gleb performed their freestyle before Calvin & Lindsay.
  4. 1 2 3 The weekly rank of these episodes is not known because they were not among the 25 highest-ranked shows of the week.
