Jessie James Decker and pro Alan Bersten get eliminated on DWTS Season 31

Jessie and Alan graced the dance floor to perform Salsa to Come Dance With Me. While some viewers found the dance routine impressive, it didn't quite hit the mark with the others. Although the judges loved watching them perform and sensed a bit of improvement from last week's episode, they still had their feedback and criticisms to provide.

Bruno said that their leg movements were getting better and that he loved their outfits, which overall had a Samba-esque bounce. Carrie Ann explained that although she loved Jessie's confidence this time around, she still felt that it was too bouncy for a salsa routine and that it needed refinement.

Len loved the lifts and tricks throughout the whole salsa routine, but asked them to focus on their arm movement. DWTS guest judge Michael Buble complimented Jessie, saying that she becomes "a beautiful person" when she comes out dancing. Derek said he loved her fighting spirit, but felt that her arms "flailed a bit."

Check out what the judges scored the DWTS pair below.

Carrie Ann- 8, Len- 8, Michael- 9, Derek- 8, Bruno- 8 = 41/50

By the end of the episode, Jessie James Decker and Trevor Donovan were declared to be in the bottom two. It was then upon the judges to save one of them. While Bruno and Caire Ann wished to save Trevor, Derek voted for Jessie's safety. However, after Len voted for Trevor, Jessie lost the majority and was thus eliminated from the competition.
