Previously on The Next Pro... Jenna
Johnson!

This week's theme is chemistry.

Girls, pick a guy who you have the most
chemistry with.

I didn't think I would be somebody that
wouldn't get picked.

If I had a choice with the girls, he
would have been my first pick.

Oh.

That was a choice!

That could be.

I'm dancing with the stars tomorrow. Who
are you?

I'm him.

Alan and Nina, you didn't show me enough
skills for Argentine tango.

AJ, you've really got to dig deep. This
will be the last dance for Kristen

and Stephanie.

What's up, guys?

G'day.

Welcome back to the next pro. Now let's
once again welcome our judges, Shirley

and Mark Ballard.

Welcome.

Dancers, we started out with 12 of you
and now just six remain.

You've made it to the halfway point.
Well done. Now that it's top six, if you

make the wrong decision, you could be
going home. And I have to think smart

because I want to make it till...

I'm top one.

From here, we are going to keep putting
the pressure on. It's going to get

harder and harder because you all know
what is on the line here.

Absolutely, Robert. There's very little
separating these dancers.

So I'm looking for unshakable
confidence.

That's the hallmark of a brilliant
professional.

Well, Mark, you have competed in the
dancing finals a record 11 times.

You have felt that pressure.

Any advice for the dancers at this
halfway point?

Yes. Learn to embrace it.

Pressure creates diamonds.

I've been in the bottom multiple times.
It comes with a lot of pressure. I have

to really own that and grow from it.
That's the only way you can keep moving

forward. Guest judge time. Are we
excited?

Yes. She is the 2021 champion of Dancing
with the Stars.

She's an Emmy-nominated choreographer.
It's the Ferrari herself.

Please welcome Daniela Carragher.

Let's go, Danny.

Let's go, Danny.

Let's go, Danny.

Welcome to your life

There's no

turning back

Acting on your best behavior and your
back on mother

nature Everybody wants to

rule the world

Wow, wow, wow.

How on earth do you approach creating a
dance like that?

I came from the world of competitive
ballroom, but I quickly learned a

routine has to be packed with wow
moments.

It's about doing something no one's ever
seen before.

Wow moments go viral on social media,
and that means lots of votes. We must

always think about the votes. I want to
challenge you all to create your own wow

moment. That opening number you just saw
included three moves from Dancing with

the Stars that went viral and were
copied by millions of people around the

world. Those moves include Val's iconic
knee walks, Whitney's leg lift, and my

air walk.

For your challenge, you need to create a
dance that includes one of these three

moves and also includes at least one of
your own unique wow moves.

All while dancing a contemporary style.

It's my first time doing contemporary,
so obviously I'm nervous.

Like, oh my God, how am I going to do
it?

This is not traditional ballroom. Ask
yourself, what can I create that the

audience has never seen before?

At the end of this challenge, there will
be another elimination.

You've got to make these guys say wow.

And to give you a little bit of
inspiration, I want to take you to a

place that makes me say wow every single
day.

Let's go.

Back where I belong.

I'm coming.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. A rhino.

There's a rhino. Guys, the gold wind
back. Look at this.

Welcome to Australia Zoo.

I'm so happy that you guys are here.

I hope today I can give you all some
inspiration for this week's challenge.

This is all about wow moments, and
there's nothing more wow than our

beautiful wildlife.

So, let's meet some animals.

Yeah, let's go.

It's crazy.

It doesn't feel like a zoo. It feels
like a nature reserve.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

The animals are just walking around. I
know we're in Australia, but there's a

lot of animals out and about.

So this big boy is DJ.

He's over two tons in weight. He's
massive.

Wow. You can see that undeniable power.

He could be explosive, but he chooses
not to be. You want to come meet him?

I'm a very nervous person when it comes
down to animals. Being someone who is

such a control freak, it's a lot.

Isn't he just beautiful? So this big
boy, he is, believe it or not, in a wow

moment. It's easy to just... Go crazy.
But you've still got to have that real

control and that presence. DJ, make DJ
feel small.

Come over and meet Bondi, the koala.

These are one of the most soft and
affectionate creatures you'll ever meet.

And it just reminds you that that is
what touches people's hearts. So even

though you want to go big, you want to
create that wow, don't forget about the

connection, about the softness of the
dance. Hi.

Hi.

You're beautiful.

Being here at the Australia Zoo, seeing
all of these animals, it's very much re

-centering me. Through this competition,
I've been called out many times, not

just by the judges, but by people in the
house.

Today I'm feeling really inspired.

I can't wait to bring that out on the
dance floor.

See you soon, guys. Thanks for coming
by.

Danielle is an amazing pro on Dancing
with the Stars. We both have a Latin

background, but she creates incredible,
wow, viral moments. I feel so excited

because I always have things to learn.

You guys should be so proud of
yourselves.

We are officially in the halfway point
of this competition.

How are you feeling about this whole
process?

Nervous. I know, I'm stressed.

Because it's like everything that we've
always dreamt of for...

our entire lives for sure it's such a
special and unique opportunity okay you

guys this challenge is about creating a
routine full of wow moments that will

make you stand out so much that you
forever will be embedded in someone's

memory after 34 seasons the audience
wants to see something new the more you

wow the audience the longer you and your
partner stay in the competition halfway

through the competition

This could either make you or break you.
I cannot wait to see what you come up

with. I finally am in my wheelhouse of
contemporary, and I kind of have that

one up on everybody else.

Now for this challenge, you dance as
couples.

Last time, the girls got to pick their
partners, so this time it's only fair

the guys get to choose.

If more than one guy chooses the same
girl, then the girl gets to decide who

she wants to partner up with.

Girls, please line up over here.

Guys, you have to really think who would
be a great partner for these wow

moments. Sweat and burning calories.

Okay, guys.

This is what Selena's wheelhouse is. So
she has the best ideas to actually

produce the best routine with the
biggest wow moments.

Please head over to the girl you would
like to partner up with.

None of the boys came to me. Not even my
best friend, Alan.

It's almost like being in elementary
school and being picked last.

It stinks.

Not picking Nina. I do feel guilty about
that. I do.

But back in week two, Adele and I had a
fantastic connection dancing together.

And I just picture a beautiful
contemporary routine with her.

Selena.

This is your time to choose who you
would like to partner up with.

You got Eric or AJ.

Okay.

I'm so happy I'm with her.

I danced with both of you guys and it
was great.

It sucks, but this is a competition.

It's getting down to the wire and I have
to be strategic.

I have to do what's going to be best for
me.

I'm going to go with Eric.

I'm so sorry.

I feel so bad.

You have to make a decision. That's
fine.

Me and Eric have this wonderful back and
forth in rehearsal.

And when I dance with AJ, he's more of
the idea person and I'm just the

follower. So it's hard.

I thought that we had a good connection,
but the decision's been made for me.

I know I'm a great dancer, but Nina's
never done contemporary before, and

contemporary is out of my comfort zone
in so many ways.

I don't know how we're going to get
there.

Good luck, and your rehearsals start
now.

I'm stressed at this point.

This could be the dance that sends me
home.

I have a really cool idea in the very
beginning.

Professor, no.

So you dance barefoot?

Yeah, come on, you gotta be hardcore to
do contemporary.

I know I didn't pick you for that, so...
It's okay. I think it kind of all comes

full circle, and I want to do this with
you, and I think it's going to be really

powerful. AJ and I share the floor
together for the team dance.

I chose him to be a part of my team
because he's a fantastic leader, so I'm

excited to be in his lead again. Let's
freaking do it.

You know, I was thinking of that wow
moment. Your feet are here, actually in

front like this. And I'm going to kind
of use.

Do you want to trade the legs? Because
we look like we're cavemen. That's the

point. Okay.

Last week was not a good week for me.
Being in the bottom two, purely for a

stupid decision I made.

We're looking for the next pro. I need
to understand that you understand the

brief. I let people down. I let myself
down.

That's not going to happen again.

We should add Daniela's thing. The main
strategy this week is follow the brief,

follow the rules.

You hold me and then it's just, yeah.

Yeah. Really, here we go. We have to wow
everyone.

This is going to be something that has
to go viral.

That can be viral. That's cool. I have
done contemporary.

I can do tricks, and that's what we're
going to go for. Alan, it looks ugly.

I am a competitive Latin and ballroom
dancer. I have no relation whatsoever

with contemporary.

Just trust me.

Don't be afraid.

Alan, I'm scared.

I'm scared.

Close, close, close, close.

Usually in my competitive career, you
don't do tricks and lifts.

So it's a little bit difficult.

Isn't that a wow moment?

Yeah, especially if I fall and break my
head. You're not going to fall, I swear.

I'm just trying to push through to
impress the judges.

Are you excited?

I'm so excited to do contemporary.

Grab? Yep.

Can I lift you? Yeah.

I am so excited to break out of ballroom
this week.

It is a lot of pressure.

Can I actually grab your arm?

Yeah. I just know that I need to deliver
this wow moment because the judges know

contemporary is what I do. Just go like
this and go like that, and I basically

do most of it. Just the lifts? Yep. I
feel like I am a wow moment dancer, so I

am going to try to do a couple of lifts
and tricks and make it jaw-dropping.

That's cool, actually.

Yeah. I've never done contemporary.

Sorry. No, no, no, that's fine. It's
very scary not relying on my ballroom

and Latin background.

After we lift, you grab my hips, and
then remember I fall into your arms

here. Last week, what we created let me
go out of my comfort zone and do things

that I haven't done before.

We may have found a new frontrunner
here. He's the dark horse.

With Selena, I know our level of
creativity is on the same wavelength.

As soon as I finished that performance,
I was thinking, I want to do another

one.

Closer. What animalistic movements can
we get to impress the judges?

Imagine people at parties just like
running at each other. And when you run

and jump on me, you are full on koala
bear.

We took a lot of inspiration from the
zoo. This is my kangaroo jump into

koala. And you're strong like a rhino.
I'm strong like a rhino. I love this.

AJ and I are underestimated because
we're both competitive ballroom dancers.

To make contemporary look like
contemporary, that's our main focus.

Thailand. Thailand.

Thailand. Thailand and Thailand.

But little does everybody know, I do
have musical theater experience.

You kind of just ghost me.

And then I get kind of, let's say,
upset.

They definitely have some similarities.

Creating a story. Three, two, one.

And I'm not afraid of tricks.

Yep, you're taking my oxygen away.

I went a little Python, Griff. You went
full-on Python. There was no little

Python there. Each week, I feel like I'm
getting great comments, but there's

always the but.

AJ, I think international Latin dancers
were a bit staged. Point on two, wink on

one. You've really got to dig deep.

I need to show AJ 2.0, hear the bot, get
outside the bot.

That's stressful.

That would come down to the week.

Right, jaw. Yep, uh-huh. And then all
the way down to the poor cartbill leg.

The only way that I can produce
something that I've never produced

before is to actually put myself in a
position where I don't feel comfortable.

It's my competition to lose. So this is
a tipping point for me.

The challenge is showing our wow
moments. I don't want to be the person

who just highlights AJ doing knee warps.

Are you going swimming?

I'm going to go take a bubble bath, add
some salt.

Right now, I think everybody's
exhausted.

This competition, as it's getting closer
and closer to the finish line, the

emotions are running really high. You
can see our group getting smaller and

smaller, our families leaving the house
little by little. I think we're all

feeling the pressure.

It's a lot to live up to for
contemporary.

I don't feel any pressure. I have no
expectations. I've been doing it for my

whole life. I feel the pressure.

I'm exhausted.

I know. The pressure has really got to
me too, but we just got to keep

fighting. I think everybody's mentally
drained.

Everybody's physically drained.

This is just something that I've been
dreaming about since I'm a little girl.

Just sacrificing a lot.

So, you know, being here is still
something that feels...

So surreal.

Yeah.

Since I was like a kid, I was always
imagining I would be on Dancing with the

Stars. But now I'm doubting myself.

I didn't have a regular childhood.

Everybody went going to the party. I did
not. I went to the dance studio and I

practiced.

You're phenomenal in so many ways.

You know that, right? You have to
believe that.

You have to know your worth.

Because you're born for this. Never
forget that.

This week is all about wow moments. We
have some cool moves that we created,

and we also named them already. I love
that. A wow moment isn't necessarily a

trick or a lift.

We're excited to see what happens. Do
you guys mind if I see it? No. It's

about taking something and doing it in a
way where no one has seen it done

before. I need them to really be
creative, unique.

Yay!

I just want to be blown away.

The caveman walks were pretty freaking
cool.

I love the rawness of it. The thing is,
I would actually keep going in that

direction, make it more of a wow.

Seeing Alan and Adele work together was
really nice, but if they jam-pack too

many lifts and tricks, it can turn a
little bit into a circus. I feel like

they just have to refine it a little bit
more in order for it to have that wow

effect. Beautiful.

Yes!

This move where you jump on him and you
koala him. Yes!

For me, that's a wow moment.

My only note is just give yourself to
him. And you don't think about

perfection in that moment. The biggest
struggle for AJ and Nina is to get out

of perfection. I am so excited to watch
them just break out of their shell.

The knee walk, the way you guys
incorporated the knee walk, genius. Love

it. What is a moment for you that you
created that's another wow moment?

That's where I'm having a little bit of
trouble. It could be just illness.

I love the way Selena and Eric use valid
knee walks, but because the challenge is

to do one that I've done in my routine
and create your own, it makes me a

little nervous they don't have their wow
moment yet. I'll see you guys later.

Hopefully they'll find it.

I just want something bigger. It looked
good, and it's simple.

I don't want simple.

This week's wow moment is supposed to be
wow. It's still wow.

I'm feeling mentally exhausted right
now.

There's a piece of me that feels like I
need to show off this week, but me and

Eric are kind of clashing a little bit
on what we want.

Hold it uncomfortably long.

I want to make it better and make it
bigger. We have to make it exciting and

make it fun because that's what wow is
all about.

I just want to show the depth of
contemporary because contemporary is so

much more than just like, oh, we're
moving slow. Let's try it. Let's see how

it looks. Okay. If you can make someone
feel your routine and your dance just by

committing to stillness and silence, I
would say that that's the wow moment.

Not, can I do a back flip while spinning
someone on my finger? Being within

silence is scary, but I feel it.

Let's just finish it.

If the wow moments feel like boring
Latin, we change and we remove them.

I feel like in each week that I've had a
partner, I've been the person doing the

teaching. If there's parts that I don't
look good, please tell me so that I look

stronger. Nina's got a great ear and
dives deep into their moments.

So me giving my trust to her and working
together, for me, it felt new.

Being vulnerable is such a very humbling
experience.

It almost feels too correct for me, like
it's trying to hit.

Exactly. AJ is an amazing choreographer.
He's an amazing dancer.

I just need to lock it in. But he needs
to open up to his emotions and really

just let go.

You want this to be building up. Yeah.
But I'm saying from down to come up. I

know, but if we're going lyric wise,
it's you build me up.

I want to be the next prime dancer in
the stars.

Does that make sense? No.

I've knocked on this door for the past
10 years.

I've given everything.

I just need to lock it in. I just want
it to be right.

But at the end of the day, if I can't
deal with this challenge... It's good.

Don't overthink it.

I don't deserve to be a pro on Dancing
With The Stars.

You OK?

I just got the worst blister in the
world.

I am a Latin dancer and I'm without my
dance shoes. No, I've never danced

barefoot before.

There's a lot of blisters going on, a
lot of pain.

Oh, wow.

Turning on this floor is impossible.

The high pressure and the expectations
and everything.

My brain is starting to question if I'm
doing a great job in the contemporary,

if I can do it.

Tired? Yeah.

But all of us are tired, so... All
right, let's just go from the top again.

Mark it. Roll Troy.

We fight.

It's getting serious.

Everybody wants to set the bar higher
and higher every week. When you're

tired, when your body's going through so
much, and you're mentally going through

so much, doubt and fear, they kick in
harder. There's one person that's going

to go home, and it can be anyone.

What's up?

Are you okay?

Just, like, a lot of stress and
exhaustion, especially when you do

routine and, like, you just want it to,
like, be perfect. Yeah.

Like, years and years of, like, wanting
this.

You don't want to go home.

Hey, it's not going to happen.

Stop it.

Don't even think like that. It's not
going to happen.

I put myself under maybe too much
pressure, but it's because I want to

show how much this means to me.

I've sacrificed so much to be here and
do this. I've had to move my wedding.

Like, it's overwhelming when I actually
do think about the lengths I've gone to.

To not achieve what I've given up
everything for would just be so

disappointing.

Breathe.

You put up a great front.

But I see you.

You're an amazing man.

Honestly.

I feel like this is the first time that
AJ's allowed me to be there for him.

Something I would never expect.

It feels really amazing to have AJ let
me in and be vulnerable.

This is the first week where, like,
actually working with somebody and,

like, learning something from... You're
going to be great.

You know what I mean?

She let me yeah, I feel like I learned
so much like

Thank

you for saying

Now

I'm

getting my pants Tighten up a little bit
because I don't want to split the ball.

Welcome to Wow Me.

Dancers, welcome back to the dance
floor.

Your challenge was to devise a
contemporary routine that features your

own unique wow move and a wow move from
Daniela's routine.

Shirley, is there any advice that you
can give our dancers before it's time to

hit the floor?

I want to jump up out of my seat for
something I've never seen before or

something that's executed fabulously.

Dancers, remember, you'll be dancing in
couples, but tonight you will be judged

individually. One dancer will be going
home.

All right, it is now time for our first
couple, AJ and Nina.

They look a little nervous from behind.
I want them to make sure they breathe.

There's a lot at stake in this one.

We're getting into it now.

It feels weird to only have four of us
in here. Yeah, I hate it.

That's

was amazing you definitely both
understood the assignment how

did you choose your wow moment from
mistakes and and being messy and stupid

in the studio and listening feeling our
bodies that's where koala cuddle felt

like it hit the koala move it is so fun
like i have not seen that done rotating

before and that's a huge part of dancing
with the stars that was awesome thank

you thank you all right That was great.

How was rehearsal together?

I didn't know where this was going to
go. This was the dance style,

contemporary, that really, for me,
hearing the comments about ripping the

rule book up and actually just being so
emotional and open, like, I've never

done a dance like this before.

Having him let me in, he's really made
me feel valued.

I love hearing that.

But for me, the wow moment was there's a
simple moment where Nina, you just fell

backwards, completely trusting AJ.

There was no hesitation.

It was total trust.

So that tells me like whatever went on
this week in rehearsal, there's a new

vibe and bond and partnership going on
here.

Actually, I kind of agree with you in
some of those things. Oh, wow. Wow.

We're having a wow moment, darling.

And you didn't just have one wow moment.
You actually had a few there.

Your knee walks are absolutely
fantastic.

I loved the koala move. I might actually
try that myself with my son later.

I'm certainly the fan of a koala. I like
that.

With you, AJ, I think you came out of
your comfort zone today. You took off

your shirt. Your partnering skills were
great. You really did well together.

Nina, let me congratulate you on your
musicality. Some lovely timings and some

lovely senses of freedom. So you
excelled yourself.

So congratulations to both of you. Thank
you so much. Honestly, thank you so

much. Thank you.

For me, when she fell back, it was good,
man. Like when you do those moves on the

show, they're dangerous.

And it's like... Yeah, I don't know why
I do that. Yeah, but when you pull them

off, that's what's wow.

Next on stage, it's Alan and Adele.

It is a new dance for me. It's a new
style. So I am feeling extremely

nervous. It takes a minute to get used
to dancing barefoot. When I started

learning, I would wear foot undies
because we had no calluses.

So it hurts. It's really painful.

I love you.

I love the power of outfit.

Giving contemporary.

Learning how to live when there's no one
around.

Right.

You could be my God because I'm wearing
on pride.

Even with my broken parts, I feel better
now.

Look at those feet.

If I could crawl in the mud and give any
advice to my younger self.

Find something you can hold on to. Find
someone who'll be there for you.

Cause the glory matters in the end.

Find somewhere you can come home to.
Find someone that'll die for you.

Beautiful. Hey!

Wow. Woo!

Yes!

Wow. You two dance so well together.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Can you
tell us, what's your wow move?

There's kind of like a caveman walk that
we do, and one is called the Alan

Copter. Alan, you didn't hit the brief
last week.

You hit it today, though. You hit it
hard today.

I love the Alan copter.

That was scary.

It was really fast.

And then for that split second where you
were totally hands-free, she looked like

a hula hoop around your neck. Yeah. And
then just caught her and it stopped on a

dime. That's a wow moment.

Adele, if this is your first time doing
contemporary ever, wow.

Earlier I said that sometimes when the
pressure is really high and that

pressure creates diamonds, you are a
diamond.

Thank you so much.

You're beyond a diamond for me. I think
that you are probably one of the best

female dancers I've ever seen in 66
countries of Dancing with the Stars or

Strictly Come Dancing. And you know I'm
not a very praiseworthy person, really.

But you, darling, are the real deal.
Thank you so much.

Alan, I appreciated what you did as a
partner.

I can see that you are wonderful to
dance with because this girl has got a

tremendous sense of freedom when she
dances. And I couldn't have done it

without him. So thank you so much.

I am so proud of how this came out.

The fact that you started with your
caveman walk was brilliant. And you feel

like you've been dancing together for
ages. I love you two together.

Thank you. Thank you so much. Well done,
both of you. Yeah.

This one's going to be hard, man.
There's two for two.

Welcome back to The Next Pro. We've got
one dance left for our judges before

they decide who goes home.

Next up, it's Eric and Selena.

Trusting Eric on this one wasn't an easy
decision because this is something I've

been doing my whole life, and if it's
not good...

I think I'll feel like I failed.

Delina specializes in contemporary, so
I'm expecting something spectacular

here. That's what I'm hoping. Well,
let's see.

So the show, cat is spinning, ovation.

High life control from the stage, from
your patient.

You left cold my lunch and green and
all. You made me hate

myself.

You stole it all, so I'll wait just to
say.

Okay. I'm conflicted.

Tell me, what was your wow move?

Um, sometimes the wow is in the silence.

Yeah, that's our wow moment, and I feel
like we kind of built a dance of wow.

But in my experience, a silent moment
doesn't mean to just stand still.

But it's also open to interpretation.

Well, can I finish my notes, please?
Sure.

Thank you, Mark.

We're not at home now. We're in a
professional arena.

Let me continue.

So, Eric, I would have liked you to have
let yourself go even more than you did.

It was really nice, but is nice good
enough to come across to 25 million on a

TV? I'm not quite sure.

For you, young lady, I had said to Mark,
I think she might give Danny a run for

her money.

And that didn't quite happen for me,
unfortunately.

That doesn't mean it's not great
dancing. I appreciate the quality, but

as a contemporary dancer, I expected a
little bit more from you.

For me personally, I love that you both
did the knee walks and pass.

That was in the brief for the wow.

And everything else that I just picked
up on was quality. But the brief was

create a wow moment, right? There wasn't
this like... presage, high lift, that's

fun, that's crazy. And Eric, for you,
like, you're kind of a dark horse here,

and I'm intrigued, but I need a little
bit more, right?

You guys look like two pros who've been
dancing contemporary, and your chemistry

is so special, but the challenge was to
have a wow moment.

Well done. Good job. Thank you.

There's choices in contemporary, you
know. Contemporary is subjective.

Wow is subjective.

I need a cup of coffee and a brandy.

I've got to consider my notes.

So far we've seen some incredible
dancers that have certainly wowed me.

Well, one dancer is about to leave the
show forever.

The judges have been in deep discussion.

How's the deliberation gone?

I want to start by saying that you all
did a fantastic job tonight. It's

getting harder as we get smaller.

We've had the hardest deliberation this
season.

Eric and Selena, we loved your dance. We
loved it.

But we do have a fundamental problem.

The brief was to deliver wow moments,
right? Both of the other couples did

deliver on the challenge.

So...

We are in a bit of a situation here.

You were aware of the brief. I pulled
Alan up for the brief last week. So I

would like to ask a question to you
both.

Whose idea was it not to go for a
larger-than-life wow moment?

I think I take joint responsibility.

I don't think either of us was leading
the choreography.

And how did you feel?

I don't know.

Yeah, I feel like we made an executive
decision.

You're absolutely sure?

Yeah.

Then I'm afraid we're going to have to
put both of you in the bottom two.

I see a lot of you guys really upset
here.

This is tough.

If you have a challenge, you have to
deliver it.

You have to make that the priority.

Shirley, it has come down to Eric and
Selena. Which dancer must sadly

leave the show?

It's with a very, very, very heavy heart
that I say this.

This will be the last dance for... Eric.

I'm so sorry.

You're a beautiful dancer.

You had exactly what you said.

Silent, still moment.

Selena, I felt that your choreography
was more difficult and I feel you were

very, very strong in your execution.

I knew that I was taking a risk.

I enjoyed and I loved every moment of
that routine and I'm proud of it.

And I don't regret a single moment.

Eric, yeah, watching your journey has
been an absolute highlight.

I'm happy that I got to take this
opportunity and really grow as a dancer

and a person. I've allowed myself to try
to speak through my dancing and I

couldn't do it without Selena, without
you, without anybody here and all the

judges who I look up to and I understand
the decisions that are made and I

respect it. And this just came down to
technicality, but please keep going.

Really proud of you.

For now, it is goodbye.

So... Go and join your fellow dancers
one last time.

I absolutely feel beat down right now. I
sent him home doing the thing that I've

been doing my whole life.

I know it's hard for you.

Suddenly, the ballroom feels a lot more
empty. Just five dancers remain as we

find out who will be the next pro. A big
thank you to our fabulous judges, Mark,

Shirley, and of course, our guest judge.

Daniela Karagach.

I'm Robert Irwin.

Good night.

Next time. It's Whitney Carson.

It's time for you to tackle the most
fundamental skill, teaching an amateur.

Each of you will be dancing with fans of
Dancing with the Stars.

What did I tell you about your left
foot? Adele is a drag.

One more time. Okay.

Selena could have been a military
instructor. We're going to keep drilling

this again.

Who has the knowledge to teach under the
pressure? Quick, quick. We should have

maybe slowed down.

If you cannot teach an amateur, you
should not be on the show.
