Christine Hough-Sweeney and hometown favourite Tie Domi are the fifth pair to be iced on the Battle of the Blades.
Marie-France Dubreuil and Stephane Richer were saved Monday joining the two remaining pairs on the CBC TV show for a chance to win $100,000 for the charity of their choice.
The two pairs with the fewest votes in the fifth week of competition were Hough-Sweeney and Domi, who performed to These Boots Are Made for Walking , and Dubreuil and Richer, who skated to Blues in the Night .
Both pairs performed again before regular judges Sandra Bezic, Dick Button and guest judges Kristi Yamaguchi, the Olympic gold medalist, and her husband Bret Hedican, who won a Stanley Cup with the Carolina Hurricanes, for a final chance to remain on the show.
Hough-Sweeney and Domi's charity, Diabetes Hope Foundation, will receive a $25,000 donation.
The other pairs returning to compete on Sunday are: Shae-Lynn Bourne and Claude Lemieux, and Jamie Sale and Craig Simpson.
