When boxer and Dancing with the Stars competitor Laila Ali stops by, Rachael tells her that she had put $5 on Emmitt Smith to take the title when he was competing. Laila wants to know, "Are you gonna put $5 on me?"

"I'm going to put $50 on you!" Rachael exclaims. "You are unbelievable!"

Rachael asks Laila, "What is tougher for you, getting into the ring or getting out on the dance floor?"

"Boxing is something I decided to do when I was 19," Laila says, "and I've accomplished all my goals there, so this right now is tougher for me because I've never done it before. I am shy when it comes to dancing. When I think of the competition, I get into a character and it takes me all day to get into that character. I was shimmying backstage to the camera guys -- to anyone I could -- just to build it up. It was great. I would have to say, they're both challenging but dancing is my focus now. I'm a dancer, not a boxer right now."

Laila and Rachael dance their way over to the kitchen where they make a Tuna Steak Club.
