First up are Tigger and Aaron, who are both rockin' out the black glitter. Hey it's Paul Mercurio's birthday!

Rebecca Hobbs and Aaron Gilmore - samba - Help Yourself - Tom Jones

Brendan said: You need to work on your timing.
Alison said: I would like to have seen you let rip a bit more.
Craig said: You took Rebecca's personality on board and used something new.
Paul said: The samba is fun, fast and sexy, but you chose cute.
Score:  7 / 7 / 7 / 7  total = 28

Hello Ralph Maccio... Tamati has left the lippy at home in favour of a turquoise Karate Kid style sweat band. Sexy stuff.

Tamati Coffey and Samantha Hitchcock - samba - Hips Don't Lie - Shakira

Brendan said: I think you interpreted the music very well.
Alison said : Your hips don't lie and it's lucky Sam kept them under control, because on the richter scale that could have been worse than a Hobbs family reunion.
Craig said: It was very confident, but you took a step back.
Paul said: You were holding yourself back. It needed more energy.
Score:  8 / 8 / 6 / 6  total = 28 

Whoa... Geraldine finished the dance between Stefano's legs! Crikey... what Stefano said next simply cannot be repeated.

Geraldine Brophy and Stefano Olivieri - samba - A Tisket A Tasket  - Ella Fitzgerald
 
Brendan said: You both have a flamboyant style all of your own. It was so camp it made Craig look straighter than a straight man's straight bits.
Alison said: Stefano gave you good basics and you handled it.
Craig said: You are show biz, you are entertainment, I would have liked to see a basket of fruit on your head.
Paul said: You don't dance badly... but you can't dance well. Don't damage your knees further.
Score:  7 / 7 / 7 / 6  total = 27

Josh and Rachel's background revealed a secret talent - Josh is an artist. And he's been drawing Rachel...

Josh has incorporated the finest feather dusters into his costume. AND Rachel ended between Josh's legs. Are we seeing a theme here?

Josh Kronfeld and partner Rachel Burstein - samba - Jump In The Line - Harry Belafonte

Craig said: You were going through the motions. It was listless, languid, lethargic.
Paul said: The routine lacked energy. You played it safe choreographically.
Score:  6 / 7 / 4 / 5  total  = 22

Barbara looks like a little fluffy pink chicken. And apparently she's a bee keeper as well.

Barbara Kendall and Jonny Williams - samba - Dancing - Scissor Sisters

Brendan said: Another extremely strong performance. I would love Barbara Kendall to show me a soft oozy goo-ing woman.
Alison said: That was like watching samba barbie!
Score:  8 / 6 / 9 / 8   total = 31

Score: 32 - final score = 60

Geraldine and Stefano - American smooth waltz

Score: 28 - final score = 55

Score: 26 - final score = 48
