‘Dancing with the Stars’ - A sizzling night of dancing. Latest Update
Dancing two dances, the remaining ‘Dancing with the Stars’ pulled out all the stops to give us an amazing night of dancing.
First Round - The Ballroom.
Shawn Johnson & Mark Ballas - For their first dance the couple danced the quick step and the judges loved it with Carrie Ann calling it her best dance of the season. - Score Dance One - 27.
Ty Murray & Chelsie Hightower - The Argentine Tango is perfect for Ty - a serious and dramatic dance where Ty gets to show off what he’s got and even though he always looks a little bit nervous - the couple did a great job. The judges agreed although they pointed out a few of the flaws that are likely to keep the pair out of the top two or three - Score Dance One - 25.
Lil’ Kim & Derek Hough - After a few weeks in the middle of pack, the couple brought a passionate waltz to the ballroom floor. The pair missed a few of the moves here and there… although Lil’ Kim’s strength in this competition comes from shaking her booty. Score Dance One - 25.
Gilles Marini & Cheryl Burke - I don’t know who picks this couple’s music, but it is almost always perfectly matched to their skill - and understated, yet dramatic performance. Bruno and Carrie Ann thought this performance was the tops and would take the couple into the final. Score Dance One - 29.
Melissa Rycroft & Tony Dovolani - Return after Melissa’s Injury, the pair danced the Viennese Waltz. The crowd gave her a standing ovation, for the beautiful performance but it was clear that Melissa was holding back a little or lost a little of her energy while recovering. Score Dance One - 27.
Second Round - The Latin Dance. Shawn Johnson & Mark Ballas - Dancing the Paso Doble - It seemed as though at any moment Shawn would get running start and do a double back flip or something - but the drama was amazing. Dance Two Score - 29.
Ty Murray & Chelsie Hightower - The couple’s rumba was filled with flaws and somehow, the crowd kept on dancing… although the moment with jewel at the end of the dance made up for most of the errors. Dance Two Score - 21.
Lil’ Kim & Derek Hough - To heat up the dance floor, the couple chose the Salsa… can you say Charro anyone? While not her best dance - she was shaking. Dance Two Score - 27.
Gilles Marini & Cheryl Burke - So, if you give Gilles any dance filled with a little passion, he’s likely to carry it out with amazing skill… it never hurts to have Cheryl Burke as your dance partner. I can’t wait to hear what the judges have to say. I knew Len wouldn’t like the rolling around on the floor. Dance Two Score - 27.
Melissa Rycroft & Tony Dovolani - The couple ended tonight’s show with a sizzling samba including a potential wardrobe malfunction. Carrie Ann told the couple to take the week off as she thought the couple’s dance was flawless. Dance Two Score - 30.
Based only on the scores, it looks like Ty should be going home, but as we know it rarely works like that. So, you do you think should go?
