(Judges commenting on Billy Ray and Karina's Rumba) Bruno Tonioli: Billy Ray, I know she's very hot, but sometimes she's turned into a pillar of salt - you were holding her like one! It was truly a fried Rumba. It didn't happen for me tonight. Carrie Ann Inaba: I like to point out some positives. Number one, you arms - they look very nice tonight. Number two, on a serious note, I really do appreciate that you didn't try to heel lead except for once. And that is a huge thing on you, Karina, so good job with that. I thought you did an amazing effort, your focus is really good. But this one just didn't make it. Len Goodman: Well, the dance is supposed to be a love story. It's supposed to be romantic, but this one was like a couple having a bit of hanky panky in the back of a Chevy. Billy Ray Cyrus: I've had some of my most romantic nights in the back of a Chevy! Tom Bergeron: And clearly, so has Len!
Karina Smirnoff: I think Billy Ray is a little bit reluctant in showing his romantic side, but this is the dance of love and there's no way around it. Billy Ray Cyrus: I think the Rumba is a sensual dance, but I think it's a dance that you'd want to do in the dark. If they shut off all the lights and no one could see me, this could be my best dance yet!
(Judges praise Apolo and Julianne's Samba) Len Goodman: Occasionally, the music, the choreography and the performance all come together and you get a great, great show! Bruno Tonioli: You two were possessed tonight! Like two bewitching devils! And I think the nation has been stunned. Carrie Ann Inaba: Perfection! That's it! Perfection!
Julianne Hough: We better get freakin' tens this week. Cause I'm sick of being in second or third. Apolo Anton Ohno: Julianne absolutely loves the Samba, because she's going to be that much harder on me. Julianne Hough: The competition is getting harder and harder. The only way is to keep Apolo really focused. Come on! Like a tiger! Apolo Anton Ohno: Up until we've been known as the Mr. and Mrs. Cute Couple - well, no longer! After this, we'll be known as Mr. and Mrs. Hot Sexy Samba.
Laila Ali: I think the judges were disappointed. I was disappointed in myself as well. I'm used to being on top, actually, I'm used to being number one. What I like about the Rumba is that there's lots of opportunities to make the dance my own. Because the Rumba is such an erotic dance, I figured I'd have my fiance Curtis come by the studio so there's no surprises. Maksim Chmerkovskiy: Rumba is all about passion and sexiness and it's very, um, close. It's all business. (Curtis proceeds to separate them at every place possible) Curtis Conway: See, now that's a ten!
Heather Mills: I love the latin dances because they are just so free and flowy and more rrrrr! Jonathan Roberts: OK, then face me and put your hand on my chest. Heather Mills: Jonathan is the only dancer with a hairy chest. And we have other people to compete against in the Samba. You know how Max has always got his chest out, I think we should get your chest out. Jonathan Roberts: When they first put the wax on my chest, I thought - ooh, it's warm, that's not so bad. (after the waxing begins) I just kept thinking, when is this pain going to end? Heather Mills: Oh, come on, quit the whining! (as the strips get pulled off) That's for the Jive! That one's for the Foxtrot!
(Judges comments on Clyde and Elena's Rumba) Bruno Tonioli: Oh my God. Clyde, I know you're a gentleman, right? But this was so polite, sunny - it was like a Rumba under an anesthetic. And about your footwork, I'm sure Len will have plenty to say. Not your best to say the least. Carrie Ann Inaba: Sorry, I'm going to be very frank. You're the worst dancer in the competition. Tonight was really bad and I think people would love to go out dancing with you, but there wasn't anything in that routine. And you are not supposed to lift, so you broke a rule too. Len Goodman: I thought it was better than those two thought it was! I know you've had a tough week and you've been to China and everything. But your footwork -- (interruption by other judges, clomping on the table) Get over, will you! I said, I know your footwork wasn't correct. But I think you came out and really tried to show us a proper Rumba. (backstage with Samantha Harris) Clyde Drexler: Obviously, they did not think it was our best dance. And he's right! Elena Grinenko: It was not supposed to be a lift, it was supposed to be a pose, but due to the length of his legs - I'm sorry!
(Bruno commenting on Ian's dance moves) Bruno Tonioli: I think that this week, you went for the hip action. Like a power tool sometimes! You were going at it like a madman!
(after questioning Cheryl's direction for his Samba) Ian Ziering: Are we okay? Cheryl Burke: Of course we're okay. We're a team, we're going to get through this. Ian Ziering: Hug it out!
