- First up is the Ballroom Round
- The first couple on the dance floor tonight is Shawn Johnson & Mark. Last week Shawn's Samba brought mixed reviews from the judges. Tonight they are dancing the Quickstep and Mark wants to bring out her fun side. During rehearsal Shawn has a breakdown because she is feeling the stress from learning two dances this week.
- Standing Ovation
- Carrie Ann Inaba: Thinks this week was their best week ever. She gave them a 10 last week will she do it again? Nope she will take one point off because they broke the hold.

- Standing Ovation
- Carrie Ann Inaba: Thinks she has this incredible ability to make everything seem like its great.
