After last week's tumultuous first elimination of our reality
contestant Fiona Falkiner, our host Daryl Somers sprang to the
studio floor with his usual energy. Our host, dressed in a formal
dinner suit, welcomed the audience, the band led by the ever-
talented musical director, Chong Lim, and the panel of judges to
episode three of Dancing with the Stars.

The glamorous Sonia Kruger dazzled the audience with her stunning
lace gown, accessorised with an outrageous scarlet bow from Alex
Perry for Myer. Dancing with the Star's quick witted co-host
discussed the technical aspects of tonight's dances, - the tango and
jive, which expand on the growing calibre of dancing routines that
our celebrities have mastered.

Up first tonight was the gregarious actress Kerry with dancing
partner Christopher jiving to an energetic routine choreographed to
Long Tall Sally by Little Richard. The hot and physical connection
between the couple impressed the judges although they agreed they
still need to work on learning how to relax.

Scores: Todd 6, Helen 7, Paul 7, Mark 7 – total 27

Home and Away heart throb, Chris Hemsworth and his partner Abbey
danced a very dramatic and powerful version of the tango from the
film Mr and Mrs Smith. Although the judges were positive about their
effort they encouraged more structure and passion be put into the
performance.

Scores: Todd 5, Helen 5, Paul 5, Mark 5 – total 20

Bursting onto the floor with an energetic jive was Tom Waterhouse
(in sparkling dance trousers) and his sultry partner Alana who
pulled out all stops with their fun loving effort. The judges
remarked on their energetic performance but again focussed on the
lack of coordination and rhythm.

After a stunning comeback last week, broadcaster and comedienne
Amanda Keller embraced a Spanish feel of a tango with her and
partner, Csaba where they performed a passionate and stunning
rendition. The judges remarked on the fantastic opening, mood,
outfit and choreography between the couple and the obvious
improvement that has been occurring each week.

Scores: Todd 6, Helen 7, Paul 7, Mark 6 - total 26

Chess champion, Arianne dressed in a perky fifties skirt continued
her sultry journey and with her handsome partner, Carmelo brought an
ambitious jive (with the loss of her skirt to reveal a stunning
beaded skirt) to the floor. The judges remarked on the harmony
between the couple and urged them to continue giving it their best
every week!

Scores: Todd 7, Helen 7, Paul 7, Mark 7 – total 28

Footballer, Kouta and his gorgeous partner Natalie seemed determined
to bring a rhythmic tango routine to the floor. The judges
exclaimed 'you can dance' and 'it was the best tango we've seen
tonight', although they did suggest there needed to be more passion
and emotion put into future routines.

Scores: Todd 7, Helen 8, Paul 7, Mark 7 - total 29

Following his amazing transformation last week with a stunning
quickstep, Gary and his talented partner, Eliza engaged in a
brooding, fifties style rendition of the jive. Our judges remarked
on the couple's great timing and the clever choreography but advised
they should work on Gary's posture.

Scores: Todd 7, Helen 7, Paul 7, Mark 6 – total 27

Our Olympic athlete, Tamsyn resplendent in red hot lipstick and red
nails with her sultry and handsome partner, Arsen brought a new
depth to the calibre of dancing seen so far during this series with
a sharp and technically proficient rendition of the tango. The
couple's connection as a partnership and the choreography wowed both
the crowd and the audience alike. Todd commented this was
the 'routine of the night!' The scores certainly reflected the
judges' verdict.

Scores: Todd 8, Helen 9, Paul 8, Mark 8 – total 33

Taking the floor by storm over the past few weeks, basketballer
Andrew and his bubbly partner, Linda dazzled the audience and the
judges once more with a sizzling rendition of the tango. Mark roused
up the audience by claiming 'Andrew, you're an angry Wiggle, mate!'

Scores: Todd 5, Helen 6, Paul 5, Mark 5 – total 21
