Mark Dacascos and Anna Trebunskaya dance the Foxtrot on Dancing with the Stars
Lacey Schwimmer is sick! Tony Dovolani and Anna Trebunskaya sub for her.
I liked this dance. Only 48 hours of practice. Mark and Anna did a great job.

Joanna Krupa and Derek Hough dance the Samba on Dancing with the Stars
The judges really like this couple. The scores are high enough to save Joanna I think.
Go Derek! (I really miss your sister on this show…)

Kelly Osbourne and Louis Van Amstel dance the Samba on Dancing with the Stars
That was great! Go Kelly! Don’t let the seed of doubt get you down.
I started not liking Louis Van Amstel before because he was so mean to Monique Coleman from High School Musical. He’s mellowed a bit now I think.
Scores:
Carrie Ann – 7
Len – 6
Bruno – 7
Rickey – 7

Tom DeLay and Cheryl Burke dance the Samba on Dancing with the Stars
Tom DeLay danced with a stress fracture! He also counts out while he dances.
So is he leaving the show now? The doctors and producers advised him to withdraw. Will it be a double elimination tomorrow? (I think so!)
Scores:
Carrie Ann – 6
Len – 4
Bruno – 5
Rickey – 5

Chuck Lidell and Anna Trebunskaya dance the Samba on Dancing with the Stars
Anna is really growing on me! I really like her. Also, what’s up with the kicking at Bruno during the dance? Or was it a missed kicked for Len?
A Chuck dance is always a scary dance.
Scores:
Carrie Ann – 6
Len – 5
Bruno – 6
Rickey – 5

Michael Irvin and Anna Demidova dance the Samba on Dancing with the Stars
Michael was very enthusiastic, but I think it’s really his partner who has let him down. Anna step it up! I don’t think we will get a really decent dance from this couple before Michael leaves the show.
Scores:
Carrie Ann – 5
Len – 4
Bruno – 5
Rickey – 5

Melissa Joan Hart and Mark Ballas dance the Samba on Dancing with the Stars
Ooooh, tiki torches on stage. Did they really that much help? LOL
I thought it was OK. Mark’s hard work with his partner Melissa is paying off. At least they are not falling off the radar that much.

Carrie Ann – 6
Len – 6

Randi Evans and Evan Kasprzak dance Samba on So You Think You Can Dance
Choreography: Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis
Evan looked so tiny in this dance, LOL. It looked weird partnering with a taller Randi. Oh well.

Kayla Radomski and Max Kapitannikov dance the Samba on So You Think You Can Dance
Music: Jum Bah Day
Choreographer: Louie Van Amstel
Louie Van Amstel has known Max since he was 14 and is now choreographing him? Isn’t that a bit of a conflict of interest? Hmmm…
Okay, what are the judges drinking? It was good, but it was not that good. I felt instant fan backlash in me, with Mary Murphy screaming in my ear. For the love of Botox, I can’t stand the pimping on this one.

Ty Murray and Chelsie Hightower dance Viennese Waltz and Samba on Dancing with the Stars
Throwing Ty under the bus. This was like a farewell judging and performance. Can Ty cowboy nation still save him?
But I agree with Len: what a fantastic debut for Chelsie Hightower on Dancing with the Stars!

Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani dance the Viennese Waltz and Samba on Dancing with the Stars
Viennese Waltz:
Carrie Ann – 9
Len – 9
Bruno – 9
Rickey – 0
Samba
Carrie Ann – 10
Len – 10
Bruno – 10
Rickey – 0
Don’t bother calling, they have enough points.
I still think it is unfair that Melissa — WHO DID NOT DANCE THE GROUP DANCE AT ALL LAST WEEK — is still in the competition. She doesn’t look like she has a hairline fracture in her ribs that would prevent her from dancing. Cheater! This show is rigged! So unfair.
And we’re supposed to feel pity for her because she’s dancing injured? But she got a free pass! I feel no sympathy. Justice for Julianne Hough!

Chuck Wicks and Julianne Hough dance the Samba on Dancing with the Stars

Steve Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff dance the Samba on Dancing with the Stars
OMG — Len and Bruno gave Steve Wozniak a 3! What the heck? And Carrie Ann gave him a 4! Geez. Do they really want him out of the competition? He got injured twice — he brings headlines to the show. What are they thinking?
I loved Woz’s comment: If you mix dancing with a little Smirnoff you might end up in an ambulance. LOL Go Woz!
