(Judges comments after Joey and Kym's Freestyle Dance) Bruno Tonioli: Well, Mr. Entertainment is back! And doing what he does best! I loved it! Carrie Ann Inaba: I just loved that you brought all that you've learned in the past ten weeks and you had fun doing it! Len Goodman: My go? You flew off that stage like Harry Potter on a Nimbus 2000. The secret were the lifts, it was effortless - I wish we had more than tens to give.
(Judges comments after Apolo and Julianne's Freestyle Dance) Len Goodman: It was great, great choreography. Up to date, everything I would want to see! Bruno Tonioli: Well, the Apolo Syndrome has taken over the country! This was so original, great idea! It was a surprise! That's what a freestyle should be! Carrie Ann Inaba: Come here both of you! (gives them both hugs) That was great!
(Judges comments after Laila and Maksim's Freestyle dance) Tom Bergeron: (to Maksim after Laila ripped his shirt off at the end of their dance) That's some marvelous acting, you looking embarrassed with your shirt ripped off! That was a freestyle! Laila Ali: You know you liked it, Carrie Ann! Carrie Ann Inaba: I gotta tell you, I loved the fly girl moves. I would have really liked to see you be a little more sophisticated and elegant which is something guys can't bring into the freestyle. But I did really like it. Len Goodman: Well, you know, I realize that he's got a fine body. He's not Arnold Schwarzenaegger. But I think you did a very good job, I loved your spins. But a great job, well done! Bruno Tonioli: A trip down memory lane, a strip tease always helps. But I tend to agree, you strength is sex appeal and sensuality.
(Judges comments after Joey and Kym's Cha Cha) Carrie Ann Inaba: Joey, you're such a crowd pleaser, you know how to make everybody go crazy. But I have to say that for a Cha Cha, it wasn't quite right. I felt more like it was a freestyle. Len Goodman: It was far too theatrical, it was like a freestyle routine. The more tricks you do, the further away you get from the dance. There wasn't enough content. It was all content. Bruno Tonioli: It was strangely odd. It wasn't cheeky. For once, I agree with Len. It was an odd Cha Cha, but not that Cha. Tom Bergeron: If you've done anything, you've brought them back together!
(Judges after Apolo and Julianne's Rumba) Bruno Tonioli: It was like watching American Gigolo and Betty Doll teasing each other and then blending into each other's arms. You have such chemistry, you two together, you are such a joy to watch. Carrie Ann Inaba: I thought you over performed it just a hair. It felt a little pushed and a little awkward. Still a very good performance, but not your best. Bruno Tonioli: Oh, please! Tom Bergeron: Okay, Len, tie breaker? Len Goodman: Not a tie breaker, I am one hundred percent with Carrie Ann. It lacked any romance. Bruno Tonioli: Oh, stop! They made love on the dance floor! Len Goodman: I've had enough of him! I can never give my critique because Big Gulp here can never shut up. Bruno Tonioli: You are talking nonsense! Tom Bergeron: Bruno, Bruno, Bruno! Let him talk. Len Goodman: The Rumba is a slow, romantic dance. That for me was too fast. It was too hectic. I didn't like the hands. I can understand people liking it. But I didn't.
(Judges comments after Laila and Maksim's Paso Doble) Len Goodman: Last time you danced the Paso, we all felt it lacked passion, fire and aggression - not tonight, old girl! That was fantastic! You danced it absolutely beautifully. A great performance. Bruno Tonioli: For me, this was a tidal wave of passion and drama. Dripping with emotion, totally captivating! Your best performance to date. Carrie Ann Inaba: I'm gonna agree. I'm so proud of you, Laila. I've seen you come miles from even just last week. Your stature was great and I love that you pulled the punches! I've been waiting for you to throw a punch at him!
