Ricki is ready for a comeback. She wants to be able to enjoy this experience while it lasts, but she was way too worried about her weight and the lifts. That samba actually looked pretty slow and I was kinda bored but the judges really loved it. Okay. Ricki’s technique might have been flawless, but it was not as fun as it should have been.

Len Goodman said Ricki took a giant step into the finals with that performance. Bruno claimed it was sizzling hot, bright and brilliant. Carrie Ann Inaba applauded Ricki’s hard work. What? A perfect score for that dance? NO way!

Score: 30 (10+10+10)
