(Some of the judge's comments after Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas' Jive) Bruno Tonioli: It was a sweet, sweet delicious Jive. Carrie Ann Inaba: That was an extremely difficult routine. Tonight you were just a hair out of sync. Len Goodman: I liked the basic steps you put in. But I've gotta say, sometimes you were a little bit stiff.
(Some of the judge's comments after Cristian de la Fuente & Cheryl Burke's Samba) Bruno Tonioli: Everyone was partying, me included. Carrie Ann Inaba: That was fantastic, Cristian. Len Goodman: That was hotter than a chili pepper, my Chilean friend. Occasionally for me, it was a little flat footed.
(Some of the judge's comments after Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani's Rumba) Bruno Tonioli: You went for it, and you sold it well. Carrie Ann Inaba: I wasn't excited by that. I really don't feel like that was a semifinal dance. It's the semifinals! It's not exciting enough! Len Goodman: I thought you did a very, very good job.
(Some of the judge's comments after Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska's Paso Doble) Carrie Ann Inaba: Great job, nice execution. Len Goodman: You're a bit like the price of gas: you're going up.
(Some of the judge's comments after Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas' Tango) Bruno Tonioli: You squeezed every single drop of drama out of the Tango. Carrie Ann Inaba: Welcome back to the dance floor! You are the Queen of the Dance Floor! Len Goodman: Sometimes for me, it was a bit hectic.
(Some of the judge's comments after Cristian de la Fuente & Cheryl Burke's Viennese Waltz) Bruno Tonioli: A Viennese Waltz with a wow factor. Carrie Ann Inaba: The movement was great. Len Goodman: This Viennese Waltz had better content, better mix of steps.
(Some of the judge's comments after Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani's Quickstep) Bruno Tonioli: It's the semifinal and you missed a move. Carrie Ann Inaba: You're the unlikely contender. Len Goodman: For a dance so technical and so fast, I thought you did a great job.
(Some of the judge's comments after Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska's Foxtrot) Bruno Tonioli: This had plenty of movement. You actually gave showmanship to the dance. Carrie Ann Inaba: This dance had a lot more content, a lot more charisma than your previous Fox Trot. Len Goodman: It was fantastic. I loved every part of it.
Dan Marino: (to Jason Taylor) You're not gonna let two actors and an ice skater beat you, are ya?
