Dancing With The Stars NZ Week Four Results

16 May 2022 - Week four of Dancing with the Stars NZ is complete and Alex Vaz is the fourth celebrity to be eliminated from the shiny dance floor competition. The sparkling new series has now been running for four weeks on Three and ThreeNow, with live episodes every Sunday at 7pm and Monday at 7:30pm.

Alex Vaz and his dance partner Brittany Coleman were the fourth couple to be voted out of the competition.  The pair scored a total of 43 from the judges for their cha cha and quickstep. Alex Vaz lost out to Eric Murray in a bottom two dance-off, as determined by the judges. 

Vaz commented on the result: “This has been an amazing experience, I’ve learnt a lot about myself. This show touched my heart - and it made me understand just how much work goes into it. It’s not an easy experience - particularly being in the bottom two for two weeks. Britt has been a sensational partner and I’m thankful to have gone on this journey.”

Head Judge Camilla Sacre-Dallerup added: “Vaz has been the dream student. He’s taken feedback and implemented it each week - which impressed us greatly. However, we’re approaching the semi-final, so the technical level and basics have to be sound, and unfortunately it was Vaz’s time to leave the competition.”

Club Bangers and My Jams were the themes for week four. Sunday night’s show kicked-off with Club Bangers, with Rhys Mathewson’s samba to Lil Naz X’s ‘Montero’ (scoring 26), followed by David Letele’s quickstep to ‘Call Me’ by Gabry Ponte, R3HAB & Timmy Trumpet (scoring 18), and Alex Vaz’s cha cha to ‘Dreams’ by Joylon Petch (scoring 22). This was followed by Eric Murray’s jive to Lucky Luke’s ‘Cooler than Me’ (scoring 19), before Brodie Kane quickstep to Harry Styles’ ‘As it Was’ (scoring 23), and Jazz Thornton’s paso doble to ‘Love Tonight’ by David Guetta and Shouse (scoring 23).
