Three couples have already been sent home and it's is getting down to the wire.
So the remaining contestants on Dancing with the Stars 2013 have no time to spare as they kicked up their rehearsing schedule on Friday.
The pairs were spotted sweating outside the studio, inspired to pick up their game after Tuesday's episode left reality star Lisa Vanderpump in the dust.
