Nastia Liukin and Sasha Farber received two tens and two nines for their routine, which was indeed the highest score of the week. Even though fans may want Derek Hough to hurry up and get back on the dance floor, Nastia Liukin told her pro partner to take it slow.

“We’re taking it day by day, and I think that’s really the only way you can really do it,” she said. “But he does have a busy summer, a busy year ahead of him, so I kind of told him, ‘Please don’t rush it. You have so much ahead of you.’ Obviously I would love to dance with him next week, but if he’s not ready enough to do that then we have Sasha, who has been absolutely amazing.”

Derek Hough is a lucky man. To have the full cooperation and support of Nastia Liukin must mean a lot to him. While some contestants would want their pro partner back at any cost, clearly Nastia has his future in mind as well.

As anyone who dances knows, an injury to a foot or ankle can be career-ending. Clearly Nastia Liukin doesn’t want this to happen to Derek Hough.
