Chelsea & Mark : "Lovely" is the word to describe the Waltz that's turned in by Chelsea & Mark. Len thinks this team sometimes puts a little too much emphasis on the story thereby making it a bit too theatrical. Bruno thought the contemporary touches in the classic waltz were right on the money. Carrie Ann felt Chelsea earned perfection tonight. Scores of 10-9-10 give them a total 29. It also makes them the first couple to earn two 10s in one dance this season.
Chelsea had a visit from Kyle Massey during rehearsals to prep for her instant dance, which is performed to "Get Busy" by Sean Paul. There was a whole lotta shakin' goin' on during their fast-paced dance. Len is impressed and Bruno loves that they didn't take any shortcuts. Carrie Ann, however, didn't feel like they connected to the music. Scores of 8-9-9 give them 26 for this dance and a total of 55 for the night.

Hines & Kim : It's good, cheesy fun as Hines and Kym skip through their fabulous Foxtrot. Bruno says the team was beaming throughout the dance. Carrie Ann thinks Hines is a guy's guy and doesn't try to hide it. Len agrees that it's a joyful experience to watch them dance. 9-9-10 from the judges gives them a total of 28. As usual, Hines is all smiles after this one.
Hines had never done the Jive, let alone an Instant Jive to "Chantilly Lace." Bruno says that despite the happy feet he had on display, Hines did a fine job with just 20 minutes prep time. Carrie Ann and Len know the Jive is a tough routine. They both feel Hines and Kym did the dance justice. 9-9-8 from the judges gives them a total of 26 for this dance and 54 for the night.

Romeo & Chelsie : It's a fantastic light show as Romeo & Chelsie take to the dancefloor. Carrie Ann thought this team was dancing like they meant it. The movements were sharp and in sync. Len believes they are three-for-three as far as fine dances for the night. Bruno was also a fan of their Tango. Trip 9s from the judges gives this team a total of 27 so far.
Romeo and Chelsie's instant dance to "Tequila" has lots of shakes, spins and twists. Carrie Ann felt their Salsa definitely had a club feel, but it also felt a little off. The night's Mr. Nice Guy, Len Goodman, loved it. Bruno, however, thought the pair lost the fluidity of the dance. 8-9-8 from the judges gives them a total of 25 for this dance and 52 for the night.

Ralph & Karina : Ralph lost some practice days due to a ruptured cyst in his leg. The team only had nine hours of rehearsal time. Typically, they would have put in 40. Well, you would have hardly known they had so many problems judging by the Viennese Waltz they do. Len thought the lack of rehearsal time led to the fact that the dance wasn't all that polished. He still thought they did a fine job, all things considered. The other judges agree. 8-8-9 scores give them a total of 25
Ralph & Karina's instant Cha Cha Cha to "Stuck in the Middle" starts off with a subtle "Karate Kid" reference. Karina channels her inner-Miyagi to heel Ralph's wounded leg. It somewhat works, but the pair has a tough time pushing through the dance. But push through they do. Trip 7s from the judges gives them 21 for this dance and 46 for the night. Will it be enough?

Kirstie & Maks : After witnessing a couple of tough falls during rehearsals, we end up getting a sexy, sensual, sultry Argentine Tango from Kirstie & Maks. Bruno says Kirstie's body is shrinking, but her talent is huge. Carrie Ann thinks Kirstie topped her Cha Cha with this dance. Len agrees that it was hot, hot, hot. Scores of 9-9-10 give them a total of 28 and gives this team their first perfect score of the season from a judge.
The Instant Salsa Kirstie and Maks do to "Cobrastyle" draws mixed reactions from the judges and a censored word from Bruno's. As for Carrie Ann and Len, they liked the slow, smooth, oily effect of it all. 8-9-8 from the judges gives them a total of 25 for this dance and 53 for the night.
Instant Dance Night ends with the realization that the final five will soon become the final four in just a little while. It's still anybody's ballgame in the ballroom!
