Here we go. Hope’s sob-story: she loved her father, but he kidnapped his kids and was arrested. They reconnected over soccer. Daddy passed away before her first World Cup back in 2007. The performance was quite intense and those were insane lifts, but it lacked something… perhaps, a certain spark and flair.

* Insert Maksim smirk* Len Goodman thought the lifts were clean and the performance had a lot of content. Yes. Bruno said it was a full display of athleticism and Hope looked like she was going to kill him anytime. Carrie Ann Inaba gave them extra points for the ambitious choreography.

Score: 24 (8+8+8)
