Sugar Ray Leonard & Anna Trebunskaya – The Jive – He seemed to run out of steam during the kicks but he had some great moves. Although this is not a strong dance for him in this competition! Scores 6/5/6 – 17
Kendra Wilkinson & Louis Van Amstel – Quick Step – She looked beautiful in the dress. She still lacks confidence and she shouldn’t. Her posture was good and she seemed to have all the moves (although Bruno disagrees) but she looked like she needed to breathe. I really hope she finds the confidence she needs for this. Scores 7/6/6 – 19
Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas – The Jive – Amazing performance. Very sharp. However it didn’t seem to be very ‘jive like’. They really did take a huge risk, considering Len is one of the judges. It was very good but it didn’t make the judges happy. Except for Bruno of course. Scores 6/5/7 – 18
Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke – Quick Step - Sometimes it’s very difficult to get past his gorgeous smile and face. But I try. Not a lot, but I try. I was most impressed when they first started and I continued to be impressed. Clearly Cheryl put the fear of God in to him and it worked. He was quite elegant. Scores 8/7/8 – 23
Petra Nemcova and Dimitry Chaplin – The Jive – I love Petra. I think she is a class act in every sense of the word, both inside and outside. And she doesn’t give up. She tries so very hard. Her torso made me want to drop down and do some stomach crunches. But I had just had some ice cream and like not eating and swimming right away, I don’t think ice cream and crunches go together. Scores 6/6/6 – 18
Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy – Quick Step – I really look forward to the behind-the-scenes on these two as well as their dance. I love the chemistry between them. She seemed to lose her footing a bit and was laughing. How can you not love her? I loved the kiss at the end. She is totally the season’s favourite. The crowd was still standing and clapping while Carrie Ann Inaba was speaking. Scores 7/6/7 – 20
Mike Catherwood & Lacey Schwimmer – The Jive – My first thought is the guitar at the beginning is going to piss Len off. My second thought is Lacey’s outfit is super sexy and no one could rock it like her! He’s a bit stiff, but I think still pretty good. The Jive is a difficult dance. I never noticed their chemistry until tonight. And the dance made Len smile. Scores – 6/5/6 – 17
Romeo & Chelsie Hightower – Quick Step –I think he and Chelsie did well tonight. Their moves toward the end of the routine were amazing. I like him and I love watching their rehearsing video beforehand. They got a standing ovation. Len thought it was the best dance of the night. For Len to think that, you know technically it must be sound because he’s a stickler for that kind of stuff. Scores – 7/8/8 – 23
Wendy Williams and Tony Dovolani – Quick Step – Women do enough laundry in life, we don’t need to incorporate it into dance routines for goodness’ sake. I think Wendy was much less self-conscious than last week. She did great from what I can tell. Scores 6/5/6 – 17
Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff – The Jive – With how amazingly well he did last week, it was only natural to look forward to this week. No pressure, right? I think he surpassed even last week. Omg the speed and tightness of his steps was incredible. I can’t believe Len thought it was too much. Bruno thought it was a little frenetic too. Sometimes there is just no pleasing people, right? Obviously to those of us without training will not see all of the missteps, but I thought he did amazing! Scores 7/7/7 – 21.
Hines Ward and Kym Johnson – Quick Step – They looked quite dapper tonight. I thought they did really well. That can’t be easy to do whether you have injuries or not, so my hat’s off to him for being able to do that despite all of his injuries. This dance made Bruno quite happy. The judges were very happy with his technique, moves, and timing. Scores – 8/7/8 – 23. They are going into elimination with the highest score.
