"This week, I'm gonna step up the intricacy and add some more things and more tricks," he said. "Dangerous is not the right word, but it's a risk you have to take. And at this point in the show, it's time to step it up and challenge yourself, and I know Bethany can handle it. I also think people are gonna be really strong this week. There are some jazz and contemporary routines. It's always difficult when you're on top of the leaderboard because it's hard to stay on the top the next week."
Hough added that he and Mota are working on their respective Ricky and Lucy impressions, using their famous catchphrases like "Oh, Ricky!" and "Lucy! You've got some 'splaining to do!" He hopes to include "fun and humor" into the routine.
It remains to be seen if the judges will be impressed. It is now more important than ever to receive higher scores from the judges, considering the highest scoring couple will receive Immunity for the night, preventing them from being eliminated.
Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
