Dancing with the Stars’Melissa Rycroft and her fiance Ty Strickland pour on the heavy PDA at Emeril Lagasse’s celebration of the opening of his latest venture Lagasse’s Stadium, Bar, Book & BAM at The Palazzo Resort Casino in Las Vegas.
Some of his friends joined in on the celebration: Entourage’sKevin Dillon, Jeremy Piven and Rex Lee, Beth Ostrosky, Dara Torres, Dan Cortese, Danica Patrick, Warren Sapp and more.
I’m late with this….crazy day. Last night’s Dancing With The Stars’ was done a little differently with the Samba Dance-off but it was great.
My favorite part was the Freestyle dancing. I wish I didn’t have to say this but I think Lance and Lacey’s Freestyle was uneventful. I think he has come such a long way, but I was hoping for more from him last night. Warren and Kim did really great I thought.
But you have to admit, Brooke and Derek were exceptional!!! And Bruno’s comments about Brooke last night had me almost on the floor. I’m not sure what was better “Brooke is the model everyone wants to drive” or “You ended up in positions I’ve only seen in the Kama Sutra”. He was on quite the roll last night. He clearly had it bad for Brooke. Who can blame him.
So who do you think will take home the Disco Trophy Ball tonight??
We were all shocked by Brooke Burke’s first dance, no? But in all fairness, her very first dance of the season wasn’t even that bad, and at this point to have a bad one how can we hold it against her? She has been held up to a higher standard than the others. I have mixed feelings as to whether that is fair or not to her.
She recovered with the second dance though, didn’t she?
She seemed so off. She also seemed to be covering her upper lip. Her upper lip looked like something had happened to it or she had something ‘done’ to it. She seemed very self-conscious about it. Is it just me or did you notice the same thing?
Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer rocked the house last night!!!! So glad to see it. So glad his grandpa got to see it. That was incredibly touching.
Always enjoy watching Warren Sapp and his enthusiasm and wonderful spirit!! I felt bad for Cody Linley, he seemed a bit defeated and on the verge of tears with the judges’ critcisms.
At this point in the competition it’s never nice seeing people go home, because they are the cream of the crop, but someone has to. I believe tonight Cody will. Who do you think is going home tonight?
For those of you who missed it, Lance and Lacey did an amazing Mambo:
It’s getting down to the end of the season and I find this the worst time because everyone is so good to be left at this point and it’s sad to see someone leave.
The man who coined the phrase ‘Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner“, Maurice Greene was eliminated last night. I really enjoyed seeing him but of all the contestants I think it was probably the right choice at this point.
That leaves Cody Linley, Lance Bass, Warren Sapp and Brooke Burke.
I think this season will see Warren Sapp and Brooke Burke battling for the disco ball trophy. Who do you think will win?
Did you watch last night? Considering that Julianne Hough had surgery like 2 weeks ago, she blew me away with her performance with her brother Derek Hough. Derek has really grown on me this season. When people are backstage waiting for their scores and he pops his head up on camera, it cracks me up. He has really come out of his shell and shown us a very playful side this year!
Note: The poll has been updated. Please cast your vote for who you think will win Dancing With The Stars’!
Here is Derek’s and Julianne’s performance last night, in case you didn’t see it:
So last night they introduced four new dances: The Salsa, The Jitterbug, The Hustle and The West Coast Swing. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like them. Maybe the Jitterbug because it’s lively and really showcases a person’s ability to keep up (cardiovascular wise that is), but aside from that I thought the other dances were too “messy” and not refined for this type of show. I really hope they don’t add those dances into the regular seasons.
Aside from that I have to say as always Brooke Burke and Derek Hough did not disappoint although Codey Linley and Julianne Hough gave them a run for their money. Did not know, and could not tell, that Brooke had a hospital visit earlier in the day for a foot injury. She is a trooper, no?
I LOVED Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson. He continues to amaze me. It was nice to see Maurice Greene step it up with Cheryl Burke.
Do you think the judges were too hard on Lacey Schwimmer last night?
I love the “Lucille Ball” look Julianne had going on:
I am totally loving this season, are you? Brooke Burke was D-I-V-I-N-E. The kiss to her daughter at the end of her dance brought a tear to my eye. Seeing the behind-the-scenes footage of her and Derek really brings to light the emotion behind all the stress of preparing for a dance and juggling their lives and work.
Warren Sapp is just the sweetest guy, isn’t he? Maurice Greene was also outstanding. It’s breaking my heart to see Rocco Dispirito struggle. He is a gem. I love his smile and personality and physique. It would be sad to see him go, but I don’t know how big his fan base is compared to others. I would have thought Kim Kardiashian had a big enough fan base to keep her in the game.
So tonight we learn how they will compensate for Misty May-Treanor’s untimely departure. Lots of rumours are speculating that they will bring Kim Kardashian back, but I find that hard to believe. First of all, sorry to say, her dancing was not very good. On top of that, how would they justify bringing her back, but not someone like Ted McGinley (who was not that bad).
If you noticed last night, Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend/ex-girlfriend/girlfriend in transition was in the audience. I wonder if she will be asked to join or will they just modify the show’s format to accomodate this glitch?
