This week's episode involved two separate dance rounds. In the first, the celebrities were required to "let go" and perform a solo within the routine. The second half of the show saw the couples performing a ballroom style not previously attempted on the competition.
Here's what the judges said:
Len: Loves that they came out and gave it 100 percent and did everything they could to make it work.
Bruno: Says that Brandy released aggression and "danced a fury" but admits that her intensity made her lose the gentle aspect of the movements.
Carrie Ann: Calls it "amazingly passionate" and says that Brandy has never been more connected to her character.
Total: 27
Len: Thinks that she introduced "fun and entertainment" and combined good technical skills with high energy.
Bruno: Calls it a "luminous, vibrant" dance and praises her for nailing every move with perfect timing.
Carrie Ann: Says that she has been waiting all season to see Jennifer perform a cha cha and was not disappointed.
