Notes:
Week 1: Tamara Jaber scored the highest points of the night with 25/30 for her Cha-Cha-Cha. David Wirrpanda's Viennese Waltz was the lowest with 12/30. Jason Stevens's original partner, Linda DeNicola, was injured during their week of rehearsals and was replaced at the last minute by resident professional dancer Eliza Campagna. Pamela Anderson and Damien Whitewood performed their Cha-Cha-Cha from week one of Season 10 of Dancing With The Stars in America. Dance troupe Justice Crew also performed a routine.
Week 2: Tamara & Carmello once again topped the leader board, scoring two 9s and a 10 from the judges for their Tango. David Wirrpanda doubled his week one score of 12/30 to 24/30 for his Jive. Rachael and Michael had points deducted for breaking hold during their tango. George Houvardas and Jason Stevens were in the bottom two, and Jason Stevens was the first contestant eliminated.
Week 3: Esther and Brendon tied with Tamara and Carmello for first place, each couple receiving 24/30 for their Paso Dobles. Blair and Jessica, as well as George and Luda had points deducted as the judges felt the choreography for each routine did not match the music. The bottom two couples were Melinda & Serghei and Blair & Jessica. Blair and Jessica were unexpectedly eliminated, with their elimination being met by boos from the audience.
Week 4: Esther and Brendon took solo first place with 26/30 for their quickstep, making it the first time Tamara and Carmello had not been the highest scoring couple. Every couple with the exception of David and Liza, Jo Beth and Dannial and Tamara and Carmello received their highest scores in the competition. Jo Beth and Dannial and Tamara and Carmello were both in the bottom two for the first time. Jo Beth had the lowest score for her rumba and was eliminated.
Week 5: For the first time in the competition, the top four highest scoring couples were all women. Tamara and Carmello scored the second perfect 10 of the season for their samba and regained the top spot with a near perfect 28/30. David and Liza were again in last place with 16/30 for their waltz. Kylie Minogue performed her new single All the Lovers. George and Luda were in the bottom two with Melinda and Serghei, with Melinda Schneider being the second woman to be eliminated from the competition.
Week 6: For the second week in a row, Tamara and Carmello were in first place, scoring 27/30 for their Aussie smooth. For the third week in a row, David and Liza were in last place with 15/30 for their salsa. Indie UK band Florence & The Machine performed their song You've Got The Love.
