That means one of this week's highest-scoring couples is about to get bit by that rare bad luck bug (the last two couple standing aren't necessarily the bottom two). Would we be talking about Sabrina & Louis tonight?...
...YES. OUCH. I guess she's just not meant to be a champion on this show; had the viewer votes been taken out, the overall result might've been so much different for her.
