So Priscilla and I took a slap on the wrist from the judges this past week but we're not going to let that shake our resolve.

For all of you out there that saw our performance this past Monday, we were called out for a lift. It was not a move that was originally intended to be a real lift, it just happened to be that Priscilla picked up her feet slightly off the ground because she was wrapped up in and the moment of it all and was both excited and exuberant. It somehow just felt right.
Nevertheless, we will most certainly will take the judges' comments under advisement since at the end of the day we did end up performing a move that had elements of a lift in it.
In all fairness I do think it is reasonable to note that aside from us, there was more than one couple that had actual lifts in their routines and they were not critiqued in a similar manner.
We're gearing up for tonight's show and Priscilla and I are ready to impress.
After narrowly escaping elimination, we're even more determined to give a great performance and earn your votes.
Thank you all for supporting Priscilla and I. You are the reason why we are still in the running and I can assure you that we'll be giving it our all week after week.
Enjoy tonight's Rumba performance.
Love,
Louisxxx

Hi Louis! You both looked stunning tonight - perfect costumes and makeup and hair for Priscilla - she was just beautiful!!! Len obviously has a crush on her - with all his harsh critiques lately - poor man:-) ... Your dancing must be even so much better when Priscilla is not nervous - and of course it would be with some better music than the past two songs. You two are an inspiration. Thank you and good luck!! Zuza, Prague

I thought you guys did great last night. Every year I get confused about just what it is the judges want. You aren't the only couple getting weird comments/scores. I hope everyone called in. I called as much as I could and online voted so I hope you guys get another week. If not this show is going to get awfully boring. :) Good luck.

You and Priscilla were great-I'm jealous that you got to spend all this time with her.
Your scores and comments the past 2 weeks were odd to say the least.You deserved higher scores and should have remained.All of your performances were crazy enjoyable.

I could not believe the low scores you and Priscilla had received. The judges are showing favoritism and that's not fair. A lot of fans could not get on to vote for you and Priscilla on April 14th. Priscilla was and is an inspiration she did it her way with style and grace. I miss you and Priscilla on DWTS. I will be watching for you and Priscilla's last dance on the finials, can't wait. Thank you Louis for giving her the challenges and she trusted you to take the risk.
