Dancing with the Stars (AU)

One unlearned ballroom and Instant Latin dance (11x8)

Air date: Jun 26, 2011

Week 8: Each couple had to perform an unlearned ballroom and latin dance. For the latin dances, each couple was only given their music 30 minutes prior to dancing. Haley and Aric received the second perfect score of the season, gaining a 30/30 for their quickstep, putting them in first place in round one. Samantha and Lara both shared the bottom spot with 19/30 apiece. Lara received scrutiny from the judges following an interview video taken from the previous week, which showed Lara criticizing judge Todd McKenney's comments for her Paso Doble and team dance. After the instant latin dances, Haley once again received the highest score, with a 28/30, and Samantha received the lowest, an 18/30. Manu and Alana were in the bottom two for the first time, shared with Lara and Carmello, who had been in the bottom two a total of three times.
