FROM DEREK.
MY HARD WORK IS PAYING OFF.
I'M GETTING CLOSER TO REACHING
MY FULL POTENTIAL.
THIS IS MY MOST MEMORABLE YEAR.
IN MARCH I CAUGHT MY EX HAVING
AN AFFAIR.
MY BOYFRIEND OF NINE YEARS AND
ONE OF MY BEST GIRLFRIENDS
BETRAYED ME IN WAYS THAT WENT SO
FAR BEYOND JUST CHEATING
TOGETHER THAT IT'S HARD FOR ME
TO EVEN EXPLAIN.
APPARENTLY, THEY HAD STARTED
DOING THAT WHILE I WAS AT MY
GRANDMA'S FUNERAL.
WATCHING MY ENTIRE LIFE IMPLODE
IN PUBLIC, MY ANXIETY AND MY
DEPRESSION WERE AT AN ALL-TIME
HIGH.
I WASN'T EATING OR SLEEPING.
WHAT I HAVE TAKEN AWAY FROM ALL
OF IT ABOUT MYSELF IS WHEN
SOMETHING IS REALLY HARD, I CAN
GET THROUGH IT.

INTO OUR NEXT DANCE.
STAND UP AND IT'S POWERFUL.
IT'S VERY ELEGANT AND GRACEFUL.
AT THE SAME TIME, POWERFUL AND
STRONG.
A PERFECT WAY TO SHOW IN DANCE
HOW ARIANA FOUGHT HER WAY BACK.
AND THEN POWER.

THAT I WILL BE DANCING TO THE
SONG "HAPPIER THAN EVER."
WHEN I THINK BACK TO SCREAM
CRYING IT IN THE CAR, I
CERTAINLY NEVER THOUGHT THAT

HAPPENING IN MY LIFE.
I HADN'T GRADUATED GRAD SCHOOL.
I GOT TO GO ON "THE BACHELOR."

I'M THROWN OFF NOW.
YOU HAVE TAKEN A LITTLE STEP
BACKWARDS FROM LAST WEEK.
WHAT I NOTICE IS WHEN YOU ARE
DANCING TOGETHER WITH RYLEE, YOU
COME TO LIFE.
WHEN YOU ARE WAITING FOR HER,
YOU SHRINK BACK DOWN.
YOUR MOVEMENTS BECOME SMALL.
STAY VIBRANT AND ANIMATED
THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE DANCE.

EMOTIONAL?

>>> Alfonso: WELCOME BACK TO
"DANCING WITH THE STARS."
LAST FALL, WE WERE ALL TAKEN BY
SURPRISE WHEN OUR HEAD JUDGE,
LEN GOODMAN, ANNOUNCED HIS
RETIREMENT.
JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER, WE WERE
ONCE AGAIN SHOCKED AND SADDENED
BY THE NEWS OF HIS PASSING.
LEN WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE HEART
OF THIS SHOW, SO, SOME OF THE
PRO DANCERS WHO KNEW HIM BEST
CREATED A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE IN
HIS HONOR.
BEFORE THEY DANCE, HERE ARE
THEIR MEMORIES OF LEN.
>> LEN WAS JUST CHARMING.
THAT'S HOW I REMEMBER HIM EVEN
AT 12 YEARS OLD.
HE HAS BEEN IN MY LIFE SINCE THE
VERY BEGINNING.
>> TO ME HE WAS JUST LIKE LEN,
MY MOM'S FRIEND AND DANCE
TEACHER.
>> HE WAS VERY WELL RESPECTED
WITHIN THE BALL ROOM COMMUNITY.
>> HE WAS A BIG-TIME JUDGE WHEN
WE WERE ALL STARTING TO COMPETE.
>> DANCING IN FRONT OF LEN WAS
VERY INTIMIDATING.
>> IT'S AN HONOR THAT I CAN
SAY
LEN JUDGED ME.
>> HE WENT FROM A SMALL BALL
ROOM WORLD CATAPULTED INTO
TELEVISION.
>> WHAT A FABULOUS WAY TO START
THIS OFF.
>> I KNEW LEN FROM WHEN HE WAS
10.
THIS SHOW FELT LIKE THIS IS
HOME, THIS IS FAMILY.
>> I'M A CUP OF TEA IN A WORLD
OF LATTE.
>> LEN WOULD NOT BE AFRAID TO
SHARE HIS MIND WHEN IT WASN'T
STRICTLY BALL ROOM.
>> DISAPPOINTED.
>> IF YOU WEREN'T DOING IT, HE
WOULD LET YOU KNOW.
>> YOU KNOW THERE SHOULD BE BODY
CONTACT.
>> YOU WILL GET THE TRUTH FROM
LEN GOODMAN.
>> I WANT TO SEE YOU IN BALL
ROOM SHOES.
YOU CAN DO IT.
>> HE WOULD DO IT WITH A
TWINKLE.
>> A LITTLE TOO MUCH RAZZLE
DAZZLE.
IT'S FINE WINE AND CAVIAR.
THIS WAS BEER AND A PIZZA.
BRING IT ON.
COME ON.
>> GETTING CRITICIZED BY LEN WAS
NEVER EASY.
GETTING THAT TEN MADE IT ALL
WORTH IT.
>> ANOTHER TEN.
TEN.
>> THAT LITERALLY TOOK MY BREATH
AWAY.
IT'S GOING TO BE A TEN.
>> HE GAVE ME THE TRADEMARK
SMILE.
>> TEN.
>> YOU DID GOOD, MY BOY.
>> I WISH I HAD AN 11.
TEN.
THIS WILL BE MY LAST SEASON
JUDGING ON "DANCING WITH THE
STARS."
>> HE HAD SO MUCH LOVE FOR THE
SHOW AND FOR ALL OF US.
IT REALLY SHOWED THROUGH BEHIND
THE SCENES.
>> THEY ARE BEGGING FOR IT.
>> LEN WAS A SWEETHEART.
LOVELY.
>> HEY.
>> WHAT HE KEPT SACRED AND
PRIVATE WAS HIS LOVE FOR HIS
WIFE AND HIS FAMILY.
>> I PLAYED GOLF WITH HIM.
THERE WAS NO CAMERA.
IT WAS JUST HE AND I AND WE
COULD BE OURSELVES.
I LOVE YOU, BUDDY.
I MISS YOU.
>> I MISS GIVING HIM HUGS AND
SEEING HOW HE IS.
I MISS HIM A LOT.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I'M MOST
THANKFUL FOR, BEING ABLE TO
JUDGE ALONGSIDE LEN, IS THAT I
WAS ABLE TO SPEND A LITTLE BIT
MORE EXTRA TIME WITH HIM.
WHAT DID YOU LEAVE ME?
I'M REALLY THANKFUL.
I LOVE YOU, LEN.
>> I LOVE YOU, TOO.
YOU ARE SO MUCH FUN.
COME ON, GIRL.
I LOVE IT.
YOU CAPTURED EXACTLY WHAT DANCE
IS ABOUT.
I LOVED IT.
I LOVED BEING A PART OF IT AND I
LOVED WORKING WITH YOU.
>> BALL ROOM WORLD WILL NEVER BE
THE SAME WITHOUT LEN.
>> TONIGHT, WE WOULD LIKE TO TIP
OUR HAT TO LEN ONE LAST TIME.
>> A SONG WE KNEW HE LOVED.
>> A DANCE WE HOPE HE WILL LIKE.
>> JUST A CLEAN, SIMPLE WALTZ.
>> FOR LEN, IT WILL ALWAYS BE A
TEN.

BEEN AN INSANE WEEK.
SUPER EMOTIONAL WEEK.

I FEEL GREAT.
>> Julianne: LET'S SEE IF THOSE
SCORES MATCH YOUR GREATNESS.
LET'S GO.
>> Carrie: EIGHT.

LAST UP IN TONIGHT'S "MOST
MEMORABLE YEAR" COMPETITION,
WE'VE GOT A PASODOBLE FROM OUR
STAR FROM "THE BRADY BUNCH."
LET'S HEAR ABOUT A TIME BEFORE

SIX.
>> I WAS HOPING FOR A BREAKOUT
DANCE LAST WEEK.
DIDN'T REALLY HAPPEN.
WE HAD A STUMBLE IN IT.
I THINK THE THREE SIXES WERE
FAIR.
I'M READY TO KICK IT UP A LITTLE
BIT THIS WEEK.
>> WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE
YEAR?
>> THE YEAR BEFORE EVERYTHING
CHANGED IN MY YOUNG LIFE.
1968, LOS ANGELES.
I WAS RIDING MOTORCYCLES.
PUSHING THE LIMIT.
I WAS LIVING A VERY ACTIVE AND
ATHLETIC LIFE.
IT WAS A MOST INCREDIBLE TIME.
I FELT YOUNG AND WILD.
>> WHEN YOU DID BOOK THE SHOW,
HOW DID YOUR LIFE CHANGE?
>> IT'S ALMOST UNDESCRIBABLE.
MY LIFE CHANGED IMMEDIATELY
SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE DEMANDS OF
BEING ON A FULL-TIME SHOW.
I WAS TRAVELING AROUND THE
COUNTRY.
I WAS DOING PROMOTIONAL
PACKAGES.
I WAS BEING GROOMED AS A TEEN
IDOL.
I DID CONTINUE RIDING
MOTORCYCLES.
>> I LOVE THAT.
>> THIS WEEK, WE ARE DANCING TO
MY ANTHEM OF 1968 KWTS "BORN TO
WILD."
>> BARRY WILL BE PLAYING THE
MATADOR.
IT'S A STRONG, MASCULINE ROLE.
THIS IS THE PERFECT DANCE FOR
BARRY TO CHANNEL HIS YOUNGER
SELF AND BRING OUT HIS
ATHLETICISM.
>> THE DANCE IS VERY DEMANDING.
I WAS BORN TO BE WILD.
I'M NOT GOING TO STOP TONIGHT.
>> DROP, UP.

PASODOBLE, WITH HIS PARTNER
