LATIN DANCE AND A BALLROOM
DANCE.
OUR FIRST DANCE WILL BE A SALSA.
>> AT THIS POINT IN THE
COMPETITION, I HAVE GOTTEN TO
LEARN SO MANY STYLES OF DANCE.
SO I'M EXCITED FOR THE SALSA
BECAUSE IT IS A WHOLE NEW
VERSION OF MYSELF THAT THE
BALLROOM HASN'T SEEN YET.
>> WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF
TRUST AND A LOT OF STRENGTH.
>> GO!
>> SALSA IS ALWAYS A BIG PARTY,
JAW DROPPING.
WELL, I TURN.
IT IS MORE THAN JUST A DANCE.
>> IS IT HOT ENOUGH?
>> IT IS A WHOLE CULTURE.
>> SO WE WILL TRY TO SHOW IT OFF
IN A NEW SEXY WAY.

OF MY LOWEST SCORES, AND I
REALLY WANT TO CHANGE THAT.
BRANDON AND I WANT TO GO TO AN
ACTUAL SALSA CUP TO HELP GET THE

>> Alfonso: CHANDLER AND BRANDON
WITH A "SPICY MARGARITA" SALSA.
OH, YEAH.
THAT'S HOW YOU START THE EVENING
OFF.
THE SEMIFINALS HAVE BEGUN!
[ APPLAUSE ]
>> Alfonso: OKAY.
JUST TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW,
LET'S HEAR WHAT THE JUDGES HAVE
TO SAY.
>> OKAY.
I'M GOING TO AGREE WITH THE
CROWD BECAUSE THAT WAS AMAZING.
YOU WERE ON FIRE, CHANDLER.
YOU ARE SO SPICY.
AND THERE IS A NEW SIDE OF YOU
THAT'S COMING OUT.
THERE IS A COMFORTABILITY THAT'S
HAPPENING.
BUT WHAT'S SO BEAUTIFULLY DONE
WAS THE ARTISTRY.
DID I HEAR A YES?
GIVE ME A YES.
COULD I GET AN AMEN FOR THAT?
SUPER BEAUTIFULLY WELL-DEFINED
ARTISTRY PERSONIFIED.
>> Alfonso: ALL RIGHT.
DEREK?
>> LISTEN, IT IS THE SEMIFINAL,
BUT YOU DANCED LIKE YOU WERE
ALREADY IN THE FINALS.
IT WAS CHARISMATIC.
SO SLICK.
I WANT TO SAY ONE THING.
FOR ME, PERSONALLY, IT IS A
PREFERENCE.
THERE WASN'T ENOUGH SALSA
CONTENT IN THERE.
IT WAS MORE LIKE A CHA-CHA.
HOLD ON.
IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY HOW
INCREDIBLE THAT WAS.
BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE
SALSA CONSENT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT,
BRANDON.
BUT WELL DONE.
GREAT FIRST DANCE.
>> Alfonso: ALL RIGHT.
BRUNO?
>> ANYWAY, IT IS HAPPY HOUR AT
"DANCING WITH THE STARS."
AND THAT COCKTAIL HIT THE SPOT
BIG-TIME.
THE WAY SHE SEIZED IT.
YOU KNOW, SHE STARTED SMOOTH AND
SENSUAL.
AND THEN SHE'S CRANKING UP THE
HEAT HOTTER AND HOTTER AND
HOTTER.
TO THE MELTING POINT.
LET'S HAVE ANOTHER ROUND FOR ME.
>> Alfonso: ALL RIGHT.
HEAD ON UP TO JULIANNE IN THE
SKY BOX.
IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR
FAVORITES THEIR SHOT AT LIFTING
THE LEN GOODMAN MIRROR BALL
TROPHY ON OUR SEASON FINALE NEXT
TUESDAY NIGHT, YOU HAVE TO VOTE
TONIGHT.
VOTING CLOSES DURING THE LAST
COMMERCIAL BREAK.
JULIANNE.

ALFONSO.
AND CELEBRATING AS THEY SHOULD.
ALL RIGHT.
SO THIS WEEK THERE ARE TWO FULL
AND LONG DANCES.
DID COMING OFF A PERFECT SCORE
LAST WEEK HELP WITH THE
CONFIDENCE?
>> NO.
IT FEELS LIKE MORE PRESSURE.
YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE THERE IS
NO ROOM FOR ERROR, AND SO THAT
PLAYS ON MY MIND.
BUT I ALSO JUST REALLY WANT TO
HAVE A GOOD TIME.
WE WORKED SO HARD.
I'M SHAKING MY TAIL FEATHERS OFF
THERE.
>> Julianne: SHAKE THE FEATHERS.
I LOVE IT.
ALL RIGHT.
LET'S GET YOUR SCORES.
>> STRONG NIGHT.
>> BRUNO TONIOLI.
>> IT'S A 10.
>> ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S A 29 OUT OF 30 FOR
CHANDLER AND BRANDON.

"THE BACHELOR" STAR WHO DANCED
INTO SECOND PLACE LAST WEEK.
IT'S JOEY GRAZIADEI AND
JENNA JOHNSON.
>> WE MADE IT TO THE SEMIFINALS.
>> CRAZY.
>> LAST WEEK WAS HARD BECAUSE I
REALLY WANTED TO GET THE HIGHEST
SCORES POSSIBLE.
>> THAT WAS VERY POWERFUL.
BEAUTIFULLY CHOREOGRAPHED AND
WELL-PERFORMED.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> 9!
>> 10!
>> BUT IT IS EXCITING TO BE
HERE.
I WANT TO TAKE IN THE
CELEBRATION, BUT I ALSO WANT TO
GET BACK TO BUSINESS AS WELL.
>> AMEN TO THAT.
>> IT IS CRAZY TO THINK WE HAVE
TO DIG DEEPER BECAUSE IT IS THE
SEMIFINALS.
BUT I CAN PROMISE YOU WE WILL
GIVE IT OUR ALL.
>> OUR FIRST IS A FOX TROT.
>> IT'S BEEN A BIT SINCE WE DID
FRAME DANCES.
>> I LOVE FRAME DANCES.
I'VE GOT TO SMASH IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
>> WE MAY BE CONFIDENT IN FRAME,
BUT THIS IS A JAZZY VERSION OF
FOX TROT, SO WE HAVE TO BE SHARP
WITH OUR LINES, REALLY ENERGETIC
WITH OUR PERFORMANCE.
HE'S GOT A SHOW THAT HE CAN
HANDLE THE STRESS GOING INTO THE
SEMIFINALS.
THAT WAS GOOD.
>> YEAH, THE DANCES AREN'T JUST
LONGER THIS WEEK.
IT IS THE FIRST TIME WE HAVE TWO
COMPLETELY NEW STYLES.
ON TOP OF IT, THERE IS A LOT OF
COMPLICATED CHOREOGRAPHY AND
ROUTINE.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MALE
"BACHELOR" IN THE FINALS.
IF I DO IT, IT WILL BE STARS
HISTORY.
THIS PERFORMANCE HAS TO BE MY
BEST YET.
>> SO MUCH BETTER.
>> I WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR
BALLROOM DANCE IS THE STRONGEST
OF THE NIGHT.
>> GOOD JOB!

HE WON'T DANCE, BUT HE WILL
FOXTROT.
OH, YEAH.
DEREK?
>> JOEY, THAT FOXTROT WAS A
MASTER CLASS WRAPPED IN A BREATH
OF FRESH AIR.
STRAIGHT OUT OF MGM CLASSIC.
FREDS A TEAR IS HIGH-FIVING YOU
RIGHT NOW.
HONESTLY, THE FRAME WAS SO
PRISTINE IT COULD BE HUNG IN A
GALLERY.
TRULY.
THE BODY CONTACT, THE FRAME, THE
STRIDE, THAT WAS ONE OF THE
BEST, IF NOT THE BEST FOXTROTS
I'VE EVER SEEN EVER.
>> Alfonso: OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
BRUNO?
>> GOLDEN AGE HOLLYWOOD
PERFORMANCE.
YOU ARE THE CHARISMA AND CHARM
OF AN IDOL.
YOU, MY DARLING.
JENNA, I GIVE YOU THE CREDIT.
NOTHING WAS MASKED.
IT WAS PURE, HIGH QUALITY
FOXTROT.
NO IFS, NO BUTS.
BRING IT.

CARRIE ANNE?
>> THE RACE IS ON.
I MEAN, IT IS ON!
YOU GUYS ARE BRINGING THE GAME.
THAT -- LOOK, YOU MAY HAVE
BECOME A STAR FROM "THE
BACHELOR," BUT YOUR STARDOME IS
JUST BEGINNING.
THAT WAS FABULOUS.
>> Alfonso: HEAD UP TO THE
SKYBOX FOR YOUR SCORES.
GREAT JOB.
LAST WEEK, OUR OLYMPIC RUGBY
PLAYER EARNED HER FIRST 10 OF
THE SEASON.
CAN SHE DO IT AGAIN?
ILONA MAR AND ALAN BERSTEN ARE
ON THE WAY.
JULIANNE.
>> Julianne: THANKS, ALFONSO.
THE AUDIENCE IS ELECTRIC.
THIS IS AMAZING.
OKAY.
YOU JUST DANCED A FOXTROT THAT
DEREK SAID WAS ONE OF THE BEST
HE'S EVER SEEN.
WHAT ARE YOU FEELING RIGHT NOW?
>> EVERYTHING.
THAT'S A CRAZY COMPLIMENT.
I AM SO THANKFUL.
THAT WAS JUST SUCH A FUN DANCE
SHE CREATED THAT I COULDN'T WAIT
TO DO WITH HER.
I'M SAD IT'S THE LAST TIME WE'RE
GOING TO DO IT.
>> Julianne: I THINK WE ALL
AGREE IT WAS AMAZING.
NOW, HERE IS THE BEST QUESTION.
A LOT OF BACHELORETTES TEND TO
WIN THE SHOW, BUT THE BACHELORS
GET KICKED OUT.
IS THIS MORE TRYING TO MAKE
"DANCING WITH THE STARS"
HISTORY, TRYING TO GET INTO THE
FINALE?
>> ONE STEP AT A TIME.
I'M HOPEFUL.
JUST GOT TO DEEP DANCING.

IT'S ILONA MAR AND ALAN BERSTEN.
>> YOU BOUNCED BACK FROM LAST
WEEK.
THAT WAS A FANTASTIC DANCE!
>> 10!
>> WE GOT A 10!

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.

SHOW PEOPLE I SHOULD STILL BE IN
THIS COMPETITION, AND I REALLY
THINK THAT DANCE DID THAT FOR
US.
>> YOU CAME IN HERE WITH ZERO
DANCE EXPERIENCE, BUT CAME IN
HERE WITH A GOOD ATTITUDE.
>> THIS IS ONE EXPERIENCE I WILL
REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF MY
LIFE.
I DON'T WANT TO BE CUT SHORT.
I THINK I HAVE MORE TO GIVE.

IT IS THE HARDEST WEEK OF
COMPETITION BECAUSE WE HAVE TO
SHOW OUR RANGE.
OUR FIRST DANCE IS A LATIN
DANCE.
>> WATCHING OTHER COUPLES DOING
IT STRONG AND SHOULD PLAY TO MY
STRENGTHS.
IT WILL BE AN ALTER EGO OF
SENSUAL, POWERFUL DANCERS.

ON THE RUGBY PITCH.
THIS SHOULD BE FINE AS LONG AS
SHE REFINES HER ARMS.
YOU'RE NOT RUSHED.
TAKE YOUR TIME.

THEY SEE ME DO LIFTS.
THIS DANCE IS A DIFFERENT SORT
OF POWER, A POWER IN MOVEMENT
AND FACE.

BULL, RIGHT?

SEMIFINALS IN RUGBY, AND I AM
NOT READY TO LOSE THIS ONE.

YOU ARE THE ONE THAT HAS COME
THE FURTHEST IN THIS
COMPETITION.
I LOOK BACK AT YOUR SCORES.
YOU STARTED WITH THE LOWEST
SCORES.
YOU HAVE PROVEN YOUR WORTH IN SO
MANY WAYS.
THIS SHOW IS ABOUT
TRANSFORMATION.
YOU HAVE MADE SUCH AN INCREDIBLE
TRANSFORMATION, AND YOU CONTINUE
TO INSPIRE ME.
BUT I DO HAVE TO SAY THERE WAS
ONE THING.
IT GOT A LITTLE CLOSE AT MOMENTS
AND THAT THREW IT OFF.
BUT, WOW, NEVER DOUBT HER.
NEVER.
>> Announcer: DEREK?
>> ILONA, LET'S GO!
LET'S GO.
I FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN
WAITING FOR THIS DANCE.
THIS FELT LIKE YOUR DANCE.
IT WAS SO SHARP, SO DELIBERATE,
SO INTENTIONAL, SO POWERFUL, SO

CARVING ART ON THAT DANCE FLOOR.

DANNY AMENDOLA AND
WITNEY CARSON.

CONGRATS!
>> I BELIEVE WE CAN GET HERE.
WE PUT A LOT OF WORK IN.
>> DANNY, JUST THINKING OF WHERE
YOU STARTED THIS COMPETITION TO
WHAT YOU JUST PERFORMED ON THIS
DANCE FLOOR IS MIND-BLOWING.
>> YOU HAVE BEEN KIND OF THE
UNDERDOG.
BUT YOU REALLY DEDICATED
YOURSELF TO THIS COMPETITION, SO
I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU.
>> THANKS, CHAMP.
>> I THINK IT'S FAIR THAT I'M
SEEN AS THE UNDERDOG.
I HAVE NO DANCING EXPERIENCE.
BUT I LOVE THAT TITLE BECAUSE I
GET TO PROVE PEOPLE WRONG.
>> OUR FIRST DANCE IS A BALLROOM
DANCE AND WE ARE DOING A WALTZ.
>> LET'S GET IT.
>> YOU WON THE MIRROR BALL.
WHAT DOES IT TAKE?
>> WE HAVE TO HAVE THOSE WOW
MOMENTS NOW AND LET PEOPLE FEEL
YOUR HEART.
>> I'M READY.
LEGS ARE FOCUSED.
>> I WANTED TO TELL THE STORY
ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP THAT YOU
REALLY WANT TO WORK BUT KNOW
THAT ISN'T GOOD FOR YOU.
THE LAST TIME WE HAD A STORY
LIKE THIS WAS THE CONTEMPORARY
AND THAT WAS A BREAKTHROUGH
MOMENT FOR DANNY.
SO HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO DIG
EVEN DEEPER AND REALLY PERFORM
THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY.
THINK OF THIS WHOLE DANCE AS
FLOATING.
WE'RE JUST FLOATING IN THE SKY.
>> I CAN'T WOW THE JUDGES WITH
TRICKS.
I HAVE TO MOVE WITH ELEGANCE AND
GRACE, WHICH IS TOUGH FOR MY
BODY.
>> I FORGOT WHAT THAT IS.

WE'RE ASSIGNED THE UP POSSIBLE.
>> THAT'S SO BAD.
BY THE END OF THE WEEK, THE

IT'S REALLY HARD TO LEARN WHAT
YOU WERE SEARCHING FOR IN THIS
DANCE, WHICH IS ELEGANCE AND
GRACE. IT COMES FROM THIS REALLY
AUTHENTIC PLACE.
DANNY, I'M PROUD OF YOU.
WHEN I WATCH THIS PARTNERSHIP,
THE CHEMISTRY AND THIS TRUST, IT
IS REALLY WHAT MAKES THE MAGIC.
YOU ARE SO DETERMINED TO DO WHAT
WHITNEY HAS ASKED YOU TO DO AND
YOU DO IT WITH BEAUTIFUL
INTEGRITY AND SO MUCH EMOTION.
>> I'M JUST SO IMPRESSED WITH
YOU.
THE FRAME HAS DEFINITELY
IMPROVED.
THE CHOREOGRAPHY WAS BEAUTIFUL.
THE INTENTION WAS THERE.
FOR ME, ONE THING I FELT WHEN I
SAW THAT WAS ALL THE MOVEMENTS
WERE FANTASTIC.
YOUR PARTNERSHIP IS SO STRONG,
SO SOLID.
IT IS JUST SOMETIMES THE
EMOTION, RIGHT?
I LOSE A LITTLE IN THE
PERFORMANCE ASPECT.
HOLD ON, HOLD ON, HOLD ON.
NO, NO, NO, BECAUSE IT'S FIND
THE BALANCE BETWEEN FOCUS AND
PERFORMANCE BECAUSE PRECISION IS
WHAT GUIDES THE STEPS, BUT
PERFORMANCE IS WHAT STEALS THE
SHOW.
FOR ME, I LOST A LITTLE BIT OF
THAT.
BUT, MY MAN, THAT WAS SUCH A
FANTASTIC DANCE REGARDLESS.
>> Alfonso: BRUNO?
>> YOUR DETERMINATION, YOUR
CONNECTION TO YOUR PARTNER, THE
WAY YOU LOOK AT HER REALLY WARMS
MY HEART.
I HAVE TO BE HONEST.
I CAN SEE HOW MUCH YOU WORK.
AND NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WHEN
YOU GO FOR IT AND YOU PUT YOUR
HEART INTO IT.
AND IT SHOWS BECAUSE YOU WILL
HAVE IMPROVED AT EVERY LEVEL.
THERE IS A COUPLE LITTLE THINGS.
YOUR BUM KEEPS STICKING OUT,
BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT

I REMEMBER TALKING TO YOU LIKE,
ARE WE GOING TO DO ONE?

>> OUR BEST PERFORMANCES HAVE
BEEN WHEN YOU ARE PLAYING A
CHARACTER.
DID YOU KNOW YOU HAD THIS
THEETRY CAL SIDE TO YOU?
>> I WAS VERY THEATRICAL AS A
KID.
YOU COULD ASK MY ASSISTANT.
THEY WOULD MAYBE PUSH ME, AND I
WOULD MAKE IT BIGGER.

CONFIDENT I WAS ATHLETIC ENOUGH

FEET.
BUT THE PERFORMANCE SIDE, I
DIDN'T KNOW I WAS CAPABLE OF IT.
I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS DANCE
IS, AND I JUST WANT TO PUT
EVERYTHING OUT THERE.
