Cheryl was cleared to compete, and hit the dance floor with AJ for a Villains Night number inspired by “Bates Motel.” The pair performed a tango to “Psycho,” earning 26 out of 30.
Looking back at the accident, Burke told Lindsay, “I didn't get X-rays or anything, but it wasn't needed because the EMTs were there right away.” She further insisted, “I think it was more intense, the sound of it, than the actual action.”
AJ interjected, “Yeah, I can still hear it. It was loud.”
They even made light of the incident, with Cheryl joking, “I became a basketball, basically,” and AJ adding, “You dribbled your own head!”
