It’s the end of the line for one of our stars. One of their fates is about to be sealed. Tonight, ten become nine. But who will go?

Got to love the Melbourne Storm and Geelong Cats pom poms being waved about by Daryl Somers and co-host Sonia Kruger. Sonia even has a matching purple dress.

Tonight we’ll be joined by Kath and Kel for an exhibition dance. I’m sure this will be good.

Kath and Kel perform an exhibition in character and it’s brilliant.
Footloose and Shake What Your Mama Gave Ya
The judges give them some comments and Kath says they’re being sarcastic or trying to be funny but that it’s not working and that’s why they’re on a dancing show and not in comedy. In the green room, Kath is upset at their comments.
The judges score them as follows:
Todd McKenney 1
Helen Richey 2
Paul Mercurio 4
Mark Wilson 3
TOTAL: 10 – but not a perfect 10.

It’s elimination time. The phone votes counts for 50% of the scores which is added to the judges score. Names called out are safe. Through to the next round are: James & Olya, Bridie & Craig, Mark & Linda, Jessica & Serghei, Anh & Luda, David & Karina, Patti & Sandro and Corinne & Csaba. That leaves Michael Kilm and Elka Graham.

Leaving in the first week are Michael Klim and Eliza Campagna.

Take ten brand new stars. Stir in four ruthless judges. And leave to simmer for ten thrilling weeks. Finally, serve to a nation that is full of expectation. Ballroom is back!

Daryl Somers and co-host Sonia Kruger introduce the seventh series competitors and that there will be a Bollywood session later on in the series? Ballroom Bollwood? How is that going to work?
