Jack and Cheryl have the foxtrot. Jack is really light on his feet but he needs to relax a little bit. He's very stiff and his facial expression is scaring me. It's like that smile you get when you've smiled too long and your mouth is dry and your lips are stuck to your teeth. He doesn't miss a step and he's very charming. He's not great; he's got work to do. But he's better than I expected.

Judges? Len is also surprised to see that Jack can dance, and he had good footwork and posture. Bruno thought it was joyful and playful, but he needs to watch his turns. Carrie Ann is blown away by his footwork, and says that it must be in the genes. Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 8, and Bruno 7. Wow, that's a little high.

Tom talks to Amber Riley from Glee. She jokes that she was nervous about the interviews because she doesn't trust Tom, but she's wanted to do ballroom dancing forever. Amber was psyched to see that she got Derek for her partner. They get along well in rehearsal, and Amber interviews that she's not a small girl but she hopes she can inspire other young girls to get up and dance. They have the cha cha cha. Amber is great. She has charisma and performance skills like whoa. I could watch her all night. Her technical skills are good although it seems like she's not moving as much as she could. They don't cover much of the floor.

Judges? Bruno calls her a tigress. The audience is going nuts. Carrie Ann calls her a superstar and bows to her. Len can't believe she came out and danced like that in the first week. Scores: Carrie Ann 9, Len 9, and Bruno 9. Whoa. I can't believe she got higher scores than Corbin. Her Glee castmates are in the audience going crazy for her.

Next up is Elizabeth Berkeley (Married Name), who is partnered with Val. She stands like a ballerina. She must have a dance background. I'm just going to get this out of the way now, so if they don't do at least one routine to "I'm So Excited," they are missing an opportunity. They have contemporary first. Elizabeth explains that she's a new mom and she's excited to reconnect with dance, which was her first love. She's a few inches taller than Val. That could be interesting. Her dancing is very pretty. She's got great lines and extension. She might struggle with the Latin dances, but she is going to do a great waltz, for sure.

Judges? Carrie Ann says that was amazing and she was like a passionate angel. Len thought it was lovely and had lots of different volumes. Bruno thought it was a great piece of dance, and advises to her to extend even more. Scores: Carrie Ann 8, Len 8, and Bruno 8. Then they show footage of Val confessing that he used to have a crush on "the other one" on Saved by the Bell, Kelly Kapowski. Elizabeth is really gracious about it, but Val continues to step in it.
