Just after Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska went backstage after their performance, host Tom Bergeron faked a bad cough that supposedly left his unable to talk, so Survivor host, Jeff Probst, was called over by Tom to take the show to a commercial break.
Adam Carolla: (to Julianne Hough during rehearsals) I went home and Googled 'Tango.' You know what it's about? Prostitutes and pimps. And guess which one you are.
Marissa Jaret Winokur: (to Tony Dovolani during rehearsals) How bad do you have to be to be 'The Bad Boy of Ballroom'?
(Judges comments after Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas' Tango) Bruno Tonioli: I want you to be a dirty girl! Carrie Ann Inaba: Your technique is amazing. Your anger on this was just one dimensional. I don't feel much when you dance. Len Goodman: I've liked everything you've done, and this is no exception.
(Judges comments after Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska's Jive) Bruno Tonioli: It was a cool Jive. Carrie Ann Inaba: When you hit your lines, they're beautiful. But...this week, you were dancing a little small in your upper body. Len Goodman: The lines were good, and I liked all the tricks. The bit I didn't like was the rest of it. It had no Jive action. One week you're a rooster, the next week you're a feather duster. That's life.
(Judges comments after Priscilla Presley & Louis van Amstel's Tango) Bruno Tonioli: The Hot Cougar Tango. Carrie Ann Inaba: I believed every minute of it. Watch the neckline a hair. Len Goodman: He came at you, you moved away. He came at you again, don't touch what you can't afford sunshine. But no he came on, you gave him a quick flicker and on with the dance. Passion! Drama! Fire and ice!
(Judges comments after Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani's Jive) Bruno Tonioli: It was like a Jive on cruise control. Come out here and live up to the talent that I know is there. Carrie Ann Inaba: That was boring. You are so much better than this. You're not giving your best. Len Goodman: It was a little bit careful, and careful doesn't win Dancing with the Stars.
(Judges comments after Adam Carolla & Julianne Hough's Tango) Bruno Tonioli: You're not a master technician, but you're getting better. Carrie Ann Inaba: I cannot believe I'm going to say this, but Adam Carolla was quite sexy out there. Len Goodman: (to Julianne) You've done a fantastic job. You made Adam look like a dancer.
(Judges comments after Shannon Elizabeth & Derek Hough's Jive) Bruno Tonioli: love a girl who comes out here and goes all the way. Carrie Ann Inaba: Every time you come out here, you're surprising, which is good in this competition. Len Goodman: What I saw tonight was a really good Jive.
(Judges comments after Mario & Karina Smirnoff's Tango) Bruno Tonioli: I didn't think it was that bad. Carrie Ann Inaba: There were a lot of missteps. You're better than that. Len Goodman: For me, it was a mess. You've bitterly disappointed me tonight.
(Judges comments after Cristian de la Fuente & Cheryl Burke's Jive) Bruno Tonioli: Are you on rocket fuel tonight? Carrie Ann Inaba: Just watch your arms. It was fantastic. Len Goodman: The best dance you've done so far.
(Judges comments after Steve Guttenberg & Anna Trebunskaya's Tango) Bruno Tonioli: Man-on-man did the trick for you. Carrie Ann Inaba: That was your best dance so far. Len Goodman: The actor came out in you this time. Your footwork was fantastic.
(Judges comments after Marlee Matlin & Fabian Sanchez's Jive) Bruno Tonioli: You lost the timing a couple of times. The underarm passes could be smoother. Carrie Ann Inaba: I love the chemistry you two have. Watch your hands a little bit. They're a little bit pancakey. Len Goodman: I think you did a great job.
Tom Bergeron: (while sitting on the floor next to Shannon Elizabeth) There is so much heavy breathing going on around here, I feel like I'm sitting next to a 900 number.
Jane Seymour and Sabrina Bryan could be seen in the audience.
This marks the third week in a row that Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas have received all nines every week from each judge.
