THAT ONE.
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO LIKE THAT
ONE.
OKAY.
DEREK?
>> Derek: CHARITY, THE RUMBA IS
A DECEPTIVELY DIFFICULT DANCE,
BUT YOU MADE THAT LOOK
EFFORTLESS AND ABSOLUTELY
FANTASTIC.
THE WAY YOUR LEG ACTION WAS, THE
STRAIGHT LEGS AND THE SWIVELS,
THE WAY YOU ARTICULATED THE
FEET, THAT'S DIFFICULT.
SO FANTASTIC.
REALLY IS.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
FOR ME, THERE WAS STILL A LITTLE
BIT LACKING OF EMOTION AND
CONNECTION.
>> Bruno: EXCUSE ME.
HOLD ON.
SHE WAS LIKE VELCRO.
YOU COULDN'T GET THE GIRL OUT.

THOSE PECKS?
I MEAN, COME ON.

SAID WAS RIGHT.
YOU WERE EMOTING, CONNECTING.
YOU WERE REALLY FEELING THE

COME OUT AS WELL.

YOU FEEL IT.
IT IS SO IMPORTANT.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE THAT
BREAKTHROUGH.
AND YOU HAD THE BREAKTHROUGH.

MORE EXCITED TO COME TO WORK
NEXT WEEK, ALFONSO.
ALL RIGHT.
I CAN SEE YOU'RE A LITTLE
EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW.
I THINK OVER THE SEASON THE
JUDGES HAVE CONSISTENTLY ASKED
FOR MORE EMOTION.
IN MY EYES YOU CLEARLY DID THAT.
I THINK FOR A LOT OF US YOU DID.
WHAT WAS THE BREAKTHROUGH MOMENT
FOR YOU THIS WEEK?
>> I THINK, LIKE, OBVIOUSLY WHEN
I FOUND OUT I WAS DOING THE
RUMBA, I KNEW IT WAS ABOUT
CONNECTING AND EMOTIONS.
I KNEW I HAD A MOMENT LIKE THAT
THIS SEASON, WHICH I BROUGHT
MYSELF BACK.
I HAD SOME HOMEWORK.
I HAD TO CONNECT AND, LIKE,
FIGURE OUT -- IT DOESN'T COME
NATURAL TO ME.
I REALLY AM TRYING.
THIS WEEK WAS THE WEEK I HAD TO
DO THAT.
I CLEARLY DELIVERED.
>> YES!
>> Julianne: HEARING THOSE
COMMENTS, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
FOR YOU?
>> IT MEANS A LOT.
LIKE, I KNOW THEY WANTED THAT
AND THEY SEE THAT I'M TRULY
TRYING.

REWARDED.
YES, MY EFFORT IS THERE.
