Tonight the couples had to rise to a new challenge and perform to two different versions of the same song. In the first round of competition, the couples will perform either a Jazz, Paso Doble, Cha Cha or Tango routine to an original or “plugged” version of their selected song. In round two of competition, the couples will perform either a Viennese Waltz, Argentine Tango or Rumba routine to an acoustic or “unplugged” version of that same song.  Maksim Chmerkovskiy returns to the ballroom and for the first time participates as guest judge.

On last week’s show Amber was given a 27/30 for her Salsa routine.  Carrie Anne said this about her performance, “You guys were like the dream team, I can’t believe Amber was injured and danced like that.”   If you missed any of last week’s performances, you can check out all the videos, right HERE.
