Kym Johnson and Donny Osmond perform the quickstep.

Despite a renewed commitment to winning, Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson are at the bottom of the top five, but the good news is, they are tied with Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff. Can Osmond's fans save him?

Last week, Osmond was praised for his ability to cover up his mistakes and found he wasn't having fun any more. This week, with the Viennese waltz, Osmond kept his frame, but didn't always move with fluidity. They danced to Michael Buble's "You Don't Know Me."

Bruno Tonioli praised Osmond, saying that Osmond can really play it and the routine was like watching a lifetime movie.

Carrie Ann Inaba commented that she found it mesmerizing and that Osmond didn't overperform and his posture had improved.

Len Goodman thought the rotation was lovely and Osmond's posture had improved but the routine was too artsy fartsy. Osmond laughed and commented about before he had been too "airy fairy" (that was Tonioli's comment).

During the Latin round, Osmond was happy they received the 1980s. He told Johnson he had had a mullet back then and wanted to sport one for his paso doble. He got his wish and more.

Dancing to Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)," Osmond was Adam Ant to Johnson's Madonna.

Goodman called the routine, the most crazy, bizarre and scary paso doble.

Tonioli said it was "like watching Donny doing Marie doing Donny doing Marie." Marie Osmond was in the audience.

Inaba said that it was a bit insane and thought the costume made his lines hard to see.

Osmond received straight eights. A good score, but this still left him tied for last.

Mya and Dmitry Chaplin: 59
Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough: 52
Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel: 51
Aaron Carter and Karina Smirnoff: 50
Donny Osmond and Kym Johnson: 50

Can Osmond's fans save him? If you don't recall what Adam and the Ants were like, see the video below.
