Cody and Witney danced a cute samba to Lion King’s I Just Can’t Wait to be King. He was playing the role of Simba, the lion cub from the film, which Witney said was a good fit. “They’re both young, energetic, a little wild and have great hair!” Len said Cody “really sold” it. Donny [Osmond] said he didn’t think it looked like Cody liked the dance. “I didn’t see any happiness and joy.” But added, “The dancing was phenomenal.” He got booed. Bruno said Cody had “incredible energy and timing.” Carrie Ann said, “Tonight I felt the power of Cody.” Scores: 9, 8, 8, 9 = 34
