Well someone gets voted off tonight (cough, Jeff Ross, cough, cough) and we get more dancing. What could be better? Yeah, I don’t want to see someone voted off either, but we must. Guess who I spied in the audience? Helio (MY BOYFRIEND, BRIDGET!!), Kristi Yamaguchi (last season’s winner) and new Mom Marissa Jaret Winokur. Oh and Jeff Ross is wearing his eye patch. Ooh Ooh, the first couple safe is Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer. Love it Love it!!

We see them practice and she comes up with lots of analogies that compares to a kindergartener teacher. It is cute. I love her! Here they go and they start off dancing the Quickstep. My fiance just shouted out “her boobs” Hmmm…she’s got small ones and I guess it is ok to flaunt small ones too. Flaunt what you’ve got, right? Lance looks a little weird doing this dance like guy smiley or something or maybe a plastic Ken doll. Awww, they ended with a kiss on the lips. Cute. I liked it despite the plastic Ken doll look on his face. Len didn’t like his posture or hold and the crowd boos him. Bruno doesn’t want to argue with him b/c it is too early. Bruno pointed out a fresh take that they bring and he liked it. Carrie Ann was entertained, but wasn’t really impressed with it. She wanted more elegance for ballroom. Pfft, whatev’! Tom made a funny about Len’s tea as he referred to them as “not his cup of tea” and Tom said if we are wanting to get him some tea get some Earl “real gray” tea. LOL! Their scores were 6, 7, 8 (the 8 was from Bruno) and their total is 21 out of 30. Gosh, Tom is so darn funny and it is still early.

BTW, I was able to get up Brooke Burke and Derek Hough’s bio. You can find it by clicking on their little button along the left hand side of the page. Currently theirs is the only one that is up so be patient my little DWTS fiends. I’ve got to blog about the show, ya know and that comes first. LOL!

Next saved couple is Misty May Treanor and Maks. Woohoo! My 2 favorite couples saved at the beginning. Love it. They are dancing the Mambo which is Maks specialty. We get to see him shake it and I must say I missed it. Maks is calling her awkward in practice. LOL! She looks relaxed and loose and has the facial expressions going. I’m not really digging the feather in her hair, but each his own. It was pretty good and it was cute. She didn’t hold anything back. Good for them. Carrie Ann loved how she attacked it strong and loved her solo work - “it was fierce”. Len thought it was brave and loved the solo work and hips. Bruno commented on the power, but doesn’t like the high shoulders. Oh gawd, Jonas Bros. are gonna be on tonight - I can’t stand them…UGH! Scores are 7 from CA, 7 from Len, and a 7 from Bruno for a total of 21 out of 30.

Next saved couple is Maurice Greene and Cheryl Burke. They are dancing the Mambo tonight. Maurice is loving the Mambo and Cheryl is letting him have it in practice. Here we go. Ahhhh. They do some booty shakin at the beginning. Dang this dance is fast. Lots of turns, but I want to see more hips. He does the worm on the floor, but I have a feeling the judges will want more hips - at least I did. He did burn up the dance floor, but was it a proper mambo? I don’t know. Bruno thought it was dynamic and energic. He talked about straying away from the Mambo and I agree. C.A. thought the transitions were smooth and loved how the music came through their bods. Len wondered why he did the “freewhilly schtick” and doesn’t want him to do it anymore. He said he won’t. LOL! Len is looking forward to more latin from them. Tom just introduced Helio and he is sooo damn cute I can’t stand it. ahhh! Scores are all 7’s for a 21 out of 30.

Ok, I just posted Cloris and Corky’s bio. Check it out. I’m doing double duty here through commercials. Aren’t you proud of me? I am. LOL! And we’re back to find out the next saved couple….Brooke Burke and Derek Hough.

They dance the Quickstep and Derek mentions her boobies are touching him. She says that is the first time she’s heard that. She straps on her baby to keep her chest off him and baby falls asleep. Awww. I love her dress - very flowing. She actually looks like she is enjoying herself. Bruno was up checking out the footwork as they danced in front of the judges table. OMG - they did the same move that he tried with Jennie Garth when Jennie fell and she looked a little timid going into it, but she did it anyways and ended with a bang. I liked it! I must say that the last move looked a bit shakey, but I’m glad they finished strong. Her hubby liked it that is for sure. Len thought it was the best dance so far. Bruno thought it was sensational. C.A. said she is nothing but grace, beauty and class. Scores were 2 9’s and an 8 from Len for a total of 26 out of 30.

Next saved couple is….someone doing the mambo I know that for sure since they rotate latin with ballroom. hehe! Ok, it is Cloris Leachman and Corky Ballas. Oh Lawdy..not sure if I can take much more of her. She acts like she is drunk. Here we go - ahhh - not sure what to expect. They made it a big farce - definitely poking fun and having fun. The crowd likes it. This is what they have to do when we have old geratric folks on the show. All I know is my fiance hated it and they pan to the audience and some are wiping away tears from the laughter. It wasn’t THAT funny, geez. She bribed the judges so their comments doesn’t matter - they hold up 10 bucks. C.A. loved the entertainment factor of it. Len said he had a good look at her coconuts last night. He said Corky did fantastic work with Cloris. Bruno said he has never seen a mambo like this and doesn’t think we’ll see one like it again. She got 6 from C.A. and Cloris calls her a bitch - LOL!. Len gives her a 5 and so does Bruno for a total of 16 out of 30. She tells Samantha she’s leaving and Samantha stammers and doesn’t know how to play along.

Next saved couple is….Toni Braxton and Alec Mazo and they will dance the Quickstep. During practice she was having trouble breathing b/c frankly she wasn’t. Reminds me of Marie Osmond when she fainted. We’ll see if Toni makes it thru w/o fainting. She looks great in light blue. Her turn was a little off, but footwork looked pretty clean and C.A. she did NOT do a lift at the end, her foot was on the floor so you can’t complain, girl. She made it thru the Quickstep, good for her! Bruno said it was beautiful, but the hold at the end went away. C.A. said she had a natural movement and quality and loved the chemistry. Len said they had beautiful movement, but said footwork went funny and a funny head too. Tom said Adam Carolla will be joining us next episode - yayy - NOT! Scores are 2 8’s from Bruno and C.A. and a 7 from Len for a total of 23 out of 30.

Next saved couple is…Warren Sapp and Kym “boob implants” Johnson. I can’t confirm the implants, but it sure looks like they are bigger this season. They will be dancing the Quickstep tonight. Dang he is huge 300lbs and Kym says he is not built for the Quickstep - I agree. Hope his big feet doesn’t step on her. Wow he is amazingly light on his feet. He kept up and was quick. Wow - I really loved it. I am shocked as hell as his performance here on DWTS. He was great! Len said it was fantastic for entertainment, but technique wasn’t so hot. What??? Bruno said it was a ton of fun and it was incredible what he’s achieved. Carrie Ann was amazed at how he didn’t miss a step, but the way he used his feet wasn’t as good. Scores were 2 7’s and an 8 from Bruno for a total of 22 out of 30.

Next saved couple is Ted McGinley and Inna Brayer and they dance the Mambo. He calls himself the Mambo King - we’ll see if he has the right stuff for that. He’s got that “it hurts so good” dance face on. LOL! I think he’s been taking lessons from Mark Ballas in that area. He seems to be having a blast with this. Carrie Ann said there is awkwardness to the way he moves, but said his spirit is so great. Len loved his hard work and called his performance commendable. Bruno told him to listen to the music more. Scores were 2 6’s and a 7 from Bruno for a total of 19 out of 30.

Btw, Cody and Julianne bio is now up. Yep, I’m on a roll I think. Next saved couple is Cody Linley and Julianne Hough. They are dancing the Quickstep. Wow, I couldn’t type and watch b/c it had loads of tricks in it. I loved it. Bruno said they were king and queen of the prom - told them to be more controlled. C.A. said Cody has gone from being a boy to a man and said they did all that the quickstep required. Len thought he danced with maturity and said overall it was a good job. Scores were 2 8’s and a 7 from stingy Len for a total of 23 out of 30. Oh btw, the Jeff Ross/Edyta bio page has been updated.

Next saved couple is (poor Jeff Ross..I feel bad for him) Rocco DiSpirito and Karina Smirnoff dancing the Mambo tonight. Karina’s decked out in yellow and has her ankle taped. My fiance thinks he looks like a big stiffy. He isn’t as bad as the practice. I think entertainment alone they did great and I think that old lady on the sidelines wanted his body. I thought it was pretty good - liked it. Len thought it was a major improvement and said it was “much better!” Bruno said what a turnaround and hasn’t seen such a change so quickly. C.A. said it was super sexy and said she was blown away. I was too - totally agree with those assessments. He is so giddy backstage - I am starting to love him. He got all 7’s for a total of 21 out of 30.

Next saved couple is Susan Lucci and Tony Dovolani dancing the Quickstep tonight. Dang, lots of quicksteps, but I think it is evened out. She reminds me a lot of Jane Seymour and Tony has lots of experience in dealing with her perfectionism so I’m sure he can tame Susan. She looks stunning in white. She’s doing a good job with the footwork so far and is looking quite elegant. I thought they did a great job - much better than last night. I’m happy for her - she deserves it. C.A. said it was so much better and had so much power. Len said ballroom is her forte, but said it was a bit careful. Bruno said she had class and glamour and said Len was right. They received 2 7’s and an 8 from Bruno for a total of 22 out of 30.

Well we are left with 2 couples: Kim Kardashian/Mark Ballas and Jeff Ross/Edyta Sliwinska. Who will leave us? Leaving us tonight is Jeff Ross and Edyta Sliwinaska. No suprise there. We see his audience members with patches on their eyes - cute. Jeff called this a nightmare. LOL! Jeff said “they told me Edyta was gonna be easy on the eyes, but apparently not.” That was a good one. Jeff said this was an incredible experience and he feels bad for Edyta. He also said he might cry after this. I feel bad for him - I think he’s a good guy. He ended with “I’m more ha ha ha than cha cha cha!” Nice exit for him.

Last up dancing is Mark Ballas and Kim Kardashian and they will be dancing the Mambo. Let’s see her big A$$ shake. They dance to Rump Shaker. She looks a little slow compared to Mark. She is a big stiffy. They gave her this rumpshaker song and she did NOT do it justice. She won’t last long unless she quits being stiff and lets loose. Bruno said she drives him crazy - she needs to use what she’s got. Len said she didn’t sell it or sizzle and it lacked balance b/c Mark was over dancing. Carrie Ann said she did good with what she had and said she was trying. Scores were all 6’s for a total of 18 out of 30. Btw, the Lance/Lacey bio is now up.
