In the Catherine Bellamy bracket, it was top seed couple Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn beating 5th seed couple Clark Gable and Myrna Loy 19-13. And 2nd seed couple Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald crushing 6th seed couple Rosalind Russell and Brian Aherne 26-14.

In the Erenia Russo bracket it was top seed couple Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall crushing 5th seed couple Irene Dunne and Charles Boyer 31-12. But Irene did move on in another match as she and partner Cary Grant as the 2nd seed couple thrashed 3rd seed Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon 36-5. In the Elaine Marriot Bracket, top seed couple Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers posted the biggest margin of victory with their landslide 39-5 win over 4th seed Clark Gable and Jean Harlow. And it was 2nd seed couple Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland handling 3rd seed Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn quite easily 29-12.
