Week twelve and the contestants and professional dancer’s partners are nervous, as the pressure just keeps building. Rachel has to do the Cha Cha and Tango dances this week and the tiny pop star is to be found in good spirits even after appearing in the dance off in the previous show. At one point in the dance Rachel has to slap her partner Vincent on the bottom! It becomes obvious that Rachel was disappointed with her Paso Doble marks, when she had received so many for the Waltz.
Austin is found to be thriving on the competition and enjoyed performing his Paso Doble dance last week. This week, Austin and his partner Erin are to dance the Salsa and the American Smooth. He points out that he has been looking forward to the American Smooth because of the lift involved, as in rugby lifts are used throughout the game. The couple started their training on Sunday and also had the help of some Salsa experts.
Austin reveals that he is hungry for dance, and wants to train but feels too tired to fully concentrate as they finish at 10pm.
Also hard at work in training are couple Camilla and Tom who are starting to work on the Rumba. Camilla lets Tom know that the Rumba requires aggressive movements and flinging, which Tom slowly understood and eventually managed to get the aggression working for him. At one point he needed his wife’s approval due to the intimate nature of the dance.
