Also, Peter Alfonso kicked off the competition's new dance style. A VERY PRESIDENTIAL OPENING At the start of the program, Marcelo made his usual entrance to the studio accompanied by Mauricio (Freddy Villarreal) and Cristina (Fátima Florez). "I love that the lady is here and that there's diversity. I want to see a country with fun, a happy country," said the current president. "I'm coming back. Little by little, I'm coming back. What is corruption? I don't know, I'm going to ask the hot lawyer," commented his predecessor. Then the two couples who were up for elimination on Dancing 2016 were announced, following Fabián Doman's resignation: Fernanda Herrera and Fernando Bertona, and Evander Holyfield and Judith Kovalovsky, although the American was not present. PETER INAUGURATED THE SALSA TRIO ROUND Pedro Alfonso kicked off the new dance style with a performance of N'Klabe's "I Love Salsa," alongside Nina Iraolagoitia, replacing Flor Vigna, and Lourdes Sánchez, his guest partner. Peter had the special support of his daughter Olivia, whom Marcelo nominated to be Lorenzo's "friend." Meanwhile, Lourdes, five months pregnant, formally offered Marcelo the role of godfather to her son Valentín, which sparked controversy and the appearance of a baby (Bicho Gómez) who initially demanded a different godfather and went on a spree of stealing clothes around the studio. “This salsa had everything. They danced for the camera but also for you. They enjoyed it,” commented Ángel De Brito (7). “I loved the choreography, all three of them had real flair,” affirmed Carolina “Pampita” Ardohain (9). “All three of them were very confident and determined. Peter, your legs are very strong, but you need to expand your back,” observed Moria Casán (9). “A marvel, I loved it,” exclaimed Soledad Silveyra (secret vote). “It’s a party night. I really liked the choreography, everything was very nice,” added Marcelo Polino (7). Total: 32 points. CARRILLO LEFT WANTING Fernando Carrillo and Camila Mendes Ribeiro were the second couple to take to the dance floor, accompanied by Mariana Brey, who is romantically linked to Federico Alfonso, Pedro's brother. “There’s no romance. I know him, but we’re friends,” the journalist assured. The Venezuelan actor, meanwhile, reignited his feud with De Brito by inviting him to collaborate on his dream. However, due to time constraints, the choreography was postponed until Tuesday. THE HOT LAWYER VS. HOLYFIELD Finally, the public decided with 51.52% of the votes that the "hot lawyer," Fernanda Herrera, would continue in the competition. Thus, Evander Holyfield said goodbye to Dancing 2016.
