so and it was performed well. it was strong, sharp, lovely smiles on your faces but i didn't really feel a spark between you. i didn't feel the flirtatious, sassy. i said you were the couple to beat last week. you have to keep that standard every week because i can't say the same this week. it felt a bit like a damp rocket. nothing took off for me this week. i'm sorry. >> cat: vanessa. >> vanessa: i can say i've never taken a samba class and i know you have not done samba. it was very impressive that you did what you did. that's not easy. i think you faked it until you made it. i could tell you didn't get all of your connections but you played it out. i wouldn't mind seeing a little more fire in you. i want to see you get a little

angry and i want to see flames in your eyes. i know you have that passion because you're such an amazing performer, but i want to see you leave it out there a little mor more. >> cat: flames in the eyes. >> mary: it's not easy being at the top, taylor. not easy at all. but i will tell you one thing. in the ballroom world, we consider samba the most technically challenging dance we have. people around the world know that to be the truth. was it up to a high technical standard, no. it wasn't really. you had some bright moments where you had a fabulous stationary samba role that's incredibly difficult. it looked easy to everybody else i'm sure but i'm telling you i know how difficult that was. i'm sure it's not very easy dancing in those ballroom shoes. and to keep your weight to the

inside edges but you did a brilliant job as far as doing that. can you do more in the future? you bet. the transference of weight in the dance is incredibly tough. i thought you performed great. i agreed with nigel, could you have had more chemistry, yes. i think a little bit more. for the first time out of the gate, well done. >> cat: if you stay another week, can you find more chemistry? >> absolutely. >> 100%. i feel it. >> cat: the where, america. it's in your hands. vote online at fox.com/dance or use the fox now app. please put your hands together for robert and taylor.
