I’ve been watching every game from the MLB playoffs and am in the mood for some more competition! Will tonight’s episode of “Dancing with the Stars” be just as exciting? Probably not, but at least we’ll be treated to a laugh or two, won’t we?
This evening, each of the 11 remaining couples will have to perform a new style of dance. Given that it’s the fourth week, nobody should stink up the place.
Chuck Lidell with Anna Trebunskaya (two step)
It’s just silly. I don’t know how long America will let Lidell skate by with these sloppy performances.
Melissa Joan Hart with Mark Ballas (Charleston)
Good. I thougt they were going to keep that black and white effect on the entire time. Melissa is much improved this week. Her feet seem to glide rather than stutter. They just got a score of 28. I didn’t expect that given their performance last week.
Natalie Coughlin with Alex Mazo (bolero)
I know I say it every week, but Natalie Coughlin is beautiful. Natalie, if you’re reading, I’m in this thing if you are. Just leave me a comment and we’ll be married by Friday.
Only a talented dancer could execute this one properly. They weren’t perfect, but they’re in no danger of going home.
Aaron Carter with Karina Smirnoff (lambada)
After receiving his low scores, Aaron Carter cried in Michael Irvin’s arms last week. Nevertheless, the judges still aren’t showing any sympathy as they really ripped into him this time around. I thought he was fine. Hey, look, a new commercial with Penelope Cruz.
Mark Dacascos with Lacey Schwimmer (two step)
Carrie Ann’s right — this was the most exciting two step on the night. Both showed a certain athleticism that dancers should have. Lacey isn’t a skinny little thing by any means. This girl has muscles and a fun presence.
Kelly Osbourne with Louis Van Amstel (Charleston)
How great was the music from the Roaring Twenties? I just like that big band sound. The entire bounce and groove of the music makes me want to learn tuba for some reason.
It seems like Kelly and Louis fed off the energy provided by the music. Kelly was loose, confident, and entertaining — all qualities that will keep her alive in this competition.
Joanna Krupa with Derek Hough (lambada)
This dance may have started off steamy, but where did all that energy go after the first 20 seconds? The Charleston actually doesn’t look that complicated, and I say that with years and years of sitting on the couch.
Donny Osmond with Kym Johnson (Charleston)
Although Melissa and Kelly were both solid during this dance, Donny’s performance was the most complete. He and Kym stay in sync practically every time they go out there. They don’t a have a sensual chemistry, but they still compliment each other nicely.
Michael Irvin with Anna Demadova (bolero)
Len Goodman agrees with me. Of all the dances performed this season, the bolero is the most difficult. It’s unfortunate Michael Irvin got stuck with it. Simply put, he could have been better. Either Michael Irvin or Chuck Lidell will be eliminated tomorrow.
Louie Vito with Chelsie Hightower (two step)
I take that back. What the hell happened to Louie Vito? He entered this competition with so much energy and I’m left wondering where it all went.
Mya with Dmitry Chaplin (lambada)
I’m surprised Len was so critical. I thought this was the dance of the night. Mya and Dmitry outperform the other couples every week. We still have a few more rounds to go, but at this point I’m predicting Mya will face Natalie in the finals.
Of course, I’ll be back tomorrow with some hard-hitting analysis of tonight’s results show.
