The Dancing with the stars performers rocked the ballroom at Hair Metal Night before two duos had to KISS their mirror ball dreams goodbye.

Gene Simmonsthe bassist and co-lead singer of the glam metal band KISS, was a guest judge for the Tuesday, October 8, double-elimination episode. Simmons, 75, told participants he wanted them to embrace their “inner rock god” and “release the Kraken.”

The rock legend was deeply impressed by it Chandler Kinney and her Jive with partner Brandon Armstrong.

“Chandler, you fogged up my glasses,” Simmons joked. “You moved me, not just with your curves and so on, but (with) your beautiful face and how you were in the emotion of it.”

Although Kinney, 24, has consistently topped the leaderboard, Carrie Ann Inaba the actress said she wants her to be “a little sharper” with her movements.

“This show is also about transformation,” said Inaba, 56. “We still want to see you grow too.”

Inaba saw some of the growth she longed for Brooks Nader‘s Cha Cha with her partner, Gleb Savchenko.

‘You were so focused. If a woman has something to prove, get out of the way,” Inaba told the model, who cried about her Soul Train Night score during her introductory package.

Bruno Tonioli echoed the sentiment, telling Nader that she had “completely improved” and was “a good dancer and terribly hot too.”

Simmons liked the performance so much that he tried to give Nader and Savchenko, 41, the first 10 of the season, despite initially getting a nine. Cohost Julianne Hough had to break the news that the ten wouldn’t count due to scoring rules, but Nader said she still felt “great” about getting her highest score yet.

The contestants had to learn two routines this week as they also performed at Soul Train Night on Monday, October 7. At the end of Tuesday’s episode, the performers’ scores from both nights were combined with their fans’ votes to determine who was eliminated. Reginald VelJohnson And Emma Slater And Eric Roberts And Britt Stewart were eventually sent home.

“I have never had a better work experience in my entire professional life,” Roberts, 68, said of working with Stewart, 35. Slater, also 35, gave VelJohnson, 72, a hug and said: “I won because I I have a new friend here,’
