Caroline and Jesse say goodbye Caroline Torti, Jesse Catibog, Host Leah Miller (courtesy of CTV) Receiving the lowest number of votes this week following last night’s country-wide poll were LISA Auguste, 27 and VINCENT Noiseux, 22, who performed a Samba routine; LARA Smythe, 25, and MILES Faber, 21, who performed a West Coast Swing routine and CAROLINE Torti, 23, and JESSE Catibog, 29,who danced a Hustle routine. All the competitors had one last chance to show the judges why they should stay in the competition as they “danced for their lives.” After performing their solos, the judges deliberated and decided that CAROLINE Torti from Oakville and JESSE Catibog from Toronto would be sent home.
The results show opened with the Top 14 performing a Halloween-themed group number choreographed by Melissa Williams. Red fabric and smoke billowed across the stage as the competitors performed as vampires to “Dragula” by Rob Zombie.
