Carrie Ann: It was nice, but not great (boos). As for Danny, you did better than you have before, but I felt it was a little disjointed (boos).
Bruno: I agree with Carrie Ann. Danny, you actually improved tonight… But Betty (boos), I honestly know you can do better. Sorry, guys (boos).
Valerie: I disagree. Danny, it seemed a bit lame for you. However Betty, you were the empowering woman in that dance (cheers)! I was actually reminded of an older couple intimately reconnecting through dance. Very good, I hope you stay on!

In the VT, Emma and Joel think their team has the better advantage because they are almost all quite young and able to do more of the tricks. They decide that Emma and Joel will open, Julia and Ryan will go next and Eva and Hayden will dramatically end. Kendall Schmidt, the guest judge, comes in and is impressed.
Voiceover: Dancing the Paso Doble, please welcome three of our couples.

In the VT, Betty wants to prove age ain't nothing but a number, yet they think Beyoncé and Denzel will have the edge, so decide they go last. For entertainment, Betty and Danny go first, leaving Gabrielle and Clint in the middle. Guest judge Kamie Crawford hopes they can pull off the romantic side come show night.
Voiceover: Dancing the Rumba, please welcome three of our couples.

Kamie: It was awesome! I hate saying this but I feel Betty & Danny let the team down (boos), watching them get romantic was unintentionally hilarious.
Carrie Ann: I’ve gotta agree with Kamie! Betty and Danny, work on your actual dancing (boos). As for the rest of you: great job.
Bruno: I agree, Beyoncé and Gabrielle, two smoking routines, but Betty, I was let down (boos).
Valerie: I liked it (cheers), but felt a little disappointed (boos). Not the best dance of the night but not the worst.
