Week 1: All 10 couples performed their first dance of the competition. Guest Judge Bruno Tonioli was judging as was Todd McKenney, Helen Richey and Mark Wilson. Toni and Henry finished a clear 1st place with a Cha-Cha-Cha scoring 35 with 9s from all the judges except Bruno. Paul and Eliza finished 2nd with 29 points for their Foxtrot. James and Jade finished last and scored just 18 points.

Week 2: The second show features guest judge Bruno Tonioli and the other three main judges. Cal and Craig may not have been the best in Week 1 but they turned it round and finished 1st with 34 points for their Tango. Red and Ana finished bottom of the leaderboard with just 17 points for their Jive. Brooke and John-Paul were the first couple to be eliminated.

Week 3: In the third show and since there were only the main judges (Todd McKenney, Helen Richey and Mark Wilson. Danny and Natalie were 1st on the leaderboard for their Waltz and received the only 9 of the evening (this was given by Mark). Red and Ana finished bottom of the leaderboard for the second week in a row with 19 points for their Waltz. There was a highlight from Luke and Luda's Samba which scored 20 points but his tongue accidentally stuck out which was severely criticised by Todd who gave him a 6. James and Jade were the second couple to leave.

Week 4: Toni and Henry were 1st on the leaderboard for their Quickstep and received the first 10 of the series (this was given by Mark). Luke and Luda were welcomed to the competition and mentioned as the dark horse by the judges and earned him 25 points. Red and Ana for the third time in a row finished last with 19 points, which however was a better score for Red's performance. Cal and Craig were the next to leave.

Week 5 Paul & Eliza were 1st on the leaderboard for their Argentine Tango but Luke and Luda and Charli and Csaba really got the competition going as Luke kept up the good performance from the previous week and Charli and Csaba mentioned it was their coming out week and did just that and came equal second. Red and Ana, yet another time finished bottom with 21 points, again a better performance but it wasn't enough to remove him from last and him and Ana were eliminated from the competition.
