Despite Vicky topping the leader board just a week ago, both she and Balvinder found themselves at the bottom this week with a score of 27 each.
Balvinder was up first to dance for her spot in next week's show. She and her dance partner Julian performed their American Smooth to My Guy.
Then it was Vicki and Kai's turn to dance for their place in the competition. They performed their Jive to the Sound of the Underground again.
It was then time for the judges to cast their votes.
All four of the judges agreed to save Balvinder, meaning it was the end of the road for Vicky and Kai.

Vicky apologised to Kai for not making it to Blackpool, which is happening next week.
Chatting to Tess after the elimination, Vicki said she had "the nicest time".
She turned to Kai and said: "I don't want to sound too cheesy but you've been the best partner a girl can ask for.
"I'm so sorry I didn't get you to Blackpool but I feel like I've won just by having you as my partner and I'm so grateful."
Kai was also "gutted" about Blackpool but only had praise for his partner, adding:
"I just want you to know that I feel like I have also won getting you as my partner, and you will live on in Strictly history forever."
