Tom Bergeron: (to Kenny) I gotta say, I think your sports background was really obvious when you waved off one of your own dance moves. (edit) Bruno: (to Kenny Mayne) That was demented! (edit) Tom: What we may have here is you underperforming and Bruno overacting. (edit) Kenny Mayne: (backstage) I don't think the Italian judge understood what we were trying to portray out there.

We're supposed to be two children, lost in the woods and there's a snowstorm. and then the tanks are coming, but yet we hide under the bridge, and then we capture each other at the end. And we almost drop the girl, but she has pants and sequins. I pick her up- I'm married already, so I'm just escorting her through the woods- (edit) Tom: (to the home audience/camera) Kenny's dance choreography was actually written by Leo Tolstoy. (edit)

This episode does not have any trivia. Add some now!

Tom: ...was actually written by Leo Tolstoy--refers to the Russian writer of novels that tend to be epic, like Kenny's "interpretation" of their choreography. (edit) Tom: Welcome back to Dancing With the Stars- The Next Generation.--references the titular suffix made popular when Star Trek- The Next Generation began it's broadcast life. (edit) Cheryl: (teasingly) This is not a boy band- this is ballroom--references Drew's past job as a singer in the recording group, 98Degrees. (edit) Tia Carrere: I learned one tango for one movie...--refers to Tia's tango in the movie True Lies with Arnold Schwartzenegger. (edit) Tom: ...more fun than Joe Montana...--refers to Jerry Rice's former teammate, quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, Mr. Montana. (edit)
