But, worry not viewers, we have a great guest judge in Valerie’s place for the week it's none other than personal friend to Carrie Ann Inaba and producer Natalie, Max Gao! (cheers, shot of Max). Okay, judges, what did you think?

Max: Well, for the first dance, I loved it! Such a high intensity level you have. Great job!
