“The most challenging part for me is being quick enough” she explained to Maks during rehearsals, asking him, “Has it been really hard for the really skinny girls, too?”
"Yes,” Maks said, trying to calm her nerves.
Kirstie also explained that she has a very important weight loss goal.
“Every week with the dancing is five pounds and I have 40 pounds to lose so I have to reach the finals if I want to reach my goal," she shared.
Maks assured her, “Honestly the quickstep is 20 pounds."
“Yeah? Winning!” Kirstie replied, using one of Charlie Sheen's most famous catchphrases.
The duo quickstepped to KT Tunstall's hit, "Big Black Horse And A Cherry Tree," and ended their energetic performance with a big kiss on the lips, to the delight and excitement of the audience.

"Or 80," Kirstie explained. "So yeah, I have a double incentive to be here. “
