Dancers from all seasons are on tonight. Woohoo! That means Apolo and Julianne are going to dance together again. Who would have thought? Not me! Love those two. Is Helio here tonight? He’s in Indy practicing for the Indy 500 so we’ll see if he made the trip to dance with Julianne again.

We start off with a group dance to “Hard to Handle” by the Black Crowes and yes, we have some professionals back - Alex Mazo, Fabian Sanchez, Louis Van Amstel, Jonathon Roberts along with Ashley Delgrosso, Kym Johnson, Cheryl Burke, Anna Trebunskaya, Karina Smirnoff, Derek Hough and let’s not forget Maksim Chmerkovskiy - yes the hottie is in da house! Anddddd..another recap. I am recapped out, man.

Backstage confessionals

Mario loves ballroom dancing, but not enough to go pro. He says Len’s comments are tough to take, but they make them better. Nice - always positive. Marissa said her New York New York number felt like broadway and was happy. Marissa doesn’t get Len’s more raunch comments b/c it is coming from Len. Who knew? Kristi breathed a sigh of relief after her first dance and said they had fun on the 2nd dance and that she really loves her dress. Jason and Edyta didn’t say much worth mentioning. Cristian and Cheryl were excited about his 1-armed 10. Jason is backstage wrapping his arm calling Cristian “his man” - how sweet! Cheryl mentioned his Latino passion and Cristian said “and your Fillipino passion” and Cheryl just laughs.

We see Apolo and Julianne backstage looking cute as ever and Mel B. and Maksim back again too. Sabrina Bryan recounts her must exciting DWTS moment which was Emmitt Smith dancing the Hammer Dance with Cheryl. Ahhh, the memories.

Btw, my screen is tainted with Vote 2008 results scrolling and then they have to take it up with ABC promos so I can barely see anything - ok, I can see some, but wish this stuff wasn’t taking up my screen. Samantha is backstage stammering and stuttering talking about the possibilities of going home and she cuts off Jason - why ask them questions if you are gonna cut em off? Kristi has her nasty hair on again - it is her real hair, but the ugly hair is back - ugh. I see Wayne Newton in the audience as well as Sabrina Bryan, Ian Ziering, Drew Lachey and more, but Tom is in the way so I can’t see them all.

Rascal Flatts is singing right now. I think the song is called Every Day. They are country so I typically don’t like country, but I do like some of their songs b/c they just getcha where it hurts. Guess who comes out on the floor? - Apolo Anton Ohno and Julianne Hough - the crowd goes nuts. Awwww - I love this. I bet the Apolo/Julianne lovers will love this - they get close - REAL CLOSE like on top of each other. They did an outrageous death spiral. It was amazing - they just glided across the floor and they have tons of lifts - he is one strong speed skater. Gawd, I love this - this is what is missing from this season. I couldn’t put it into words until now - THIS IS WHAT WE ARE MISSING! I have tears in my eyes - I love these two. They really looked like a couple - the chemistry was amazing. WOW!

Lissa Rinna’s most memorable moment is Kelly Monaco’s wardrobe malfunction when her top “boinged” right off. LOL! Yeah, that was a good moment in season 1. Tom is standing next to Leeza Gibbons. I see Joey Lawrence and Jane Seymour sitting there too. Stacy Keibler is interviewed by Tom something about a George Hamilton restraining order. LOL! Lisa Rinna is interviewed and her lips are all weird - Botox anyone? She says she still dances with Louis and promotes their classes. Jerry Springer is asked what has stayed with him since he left the ballroom - he mentions his hip still hurting and sleeping through the night. Vivica A. Fox is all dressed in animal print and she’s retired her stillettos. Joey Fatone is still bitter about Apolo taking the crown, but happy he got a job out of it. Kenny Mayne promotes his book - he’s sooooo funny. Sabrina Bryan is next, but Kenny took all her time. Shannon Elizabeth was sitting next to Sabrina.

Oh lord, another recap - geez - how many are we gonna have to sit through? Len said someone will be gutted having to leave this week and said Mario, Jason, and Marissa could be in trouble - well duh, that was obvious.

Helio Castroneves most memorable moment is his friend Apolo Anton Ohno’s Paso Doble with Julianne - he was impressed and made him want to do Dancing with the Stars. Yep, we love anything Apolo did.

Season 3 Runner Up, Mario Lopez and the cast of a Chorus Line are on now and he’s in the middle dancing with all these women in leotards. Here come some men in long pant leotards. Luckily Mario is wearing regular clothes. I don’t think I could have taken seeing him in a leotard too. They do the actual chorus line all in a line singing with hats all in sync. Niiice! I think Mario is lip syncing as is everyone else. Can Mario sing? I don’t think so, but what do I know? He did look great though just like he belonged. And Macy’s had to get their props in as the sponsor.

Get a little news break stating that Hilary Clinton is leading in Indiana - blah blah blah. We’re back to DWTS and Rascal Flatts is back singing Life is a Highway. Maksim and Mel B. will be dancing to this. I can’t say I like the country version of this song. Here they come and the crowd roars. She does the walking splits across the floor which the crowd loves and so do I. I thought this was supposed to be NEW routines - this is their old routine. She falls into his arms at the end and kisses him 4 times on the lips - just small pecks. Tom says Mel and Maks are his favorite M&M’s..how cute.

Samantha is backstage with 3 winners: Kelly Monaco, Apolo Anton Ohno and Drew Lachey. Kelly is rooting for Kristi - another woman. Apolo is rooting for an athlete and wants Jason or Kristi to win and Drew is rooting for Cristian - and Samantha asks if is just b/c Cheryl was his partner. LOL! Tom refers to Drew as having delusional personality b/c he always has to root for Cheryl.

Drew’s most memorable moment is Marie Osmond fainting. Speaking of Marie Osmond - I’m surprised she isn’t in the audience trying to get 15 more minutes of Dancing fame. We’re back from commercial and we see Harry Hamlin is also in the audience sitting by his wife, Lisa Rinna.

We are now learning from past history. Kristi Yamaguchi says she can learn the most from Joey Fatone for his master showmanship. Marissa is channeling her inner Mel B. talking about her confidence and fierceness. Mario says he relates to Mario Lopez b/c he danced with Karina Smirnoff. He talked about his skills, personality and moves and that he “wanted” to take it to the next level. Mario says he will take it to the next level. Jason talks about Emmitt Smith and how he made it cool to dance. Jason wants to find his own style like Emmitt did. Cristian relates most to Helio Castroneves because they have the latin connection - he also has the element of suprise. All stated it is a tough time now and they all have to bring their A game…b/c next week is semi-finals. Geez, already? I feel like we are just getting started.

We’re now getting down to business - first 2 saved couples are Marissa Winokur and Tony Dovolani. OMG SHOCKER! Tony is ecstatic and Marissa screamed. Karina Smirnoff looks worried. Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas are also safe. He picks her up and twirls her around as they hug. Karina is a bad sport - she just rolled her eyes. Miss attitude is what she needs to be called. Is she tired of Marissa’s spunky personality? Looks like we have 2 females in the semi-finals. Woohoo!

Kelly Monaco’s most shocking moment was when Sabrina Bryan and Mark Ballas were eliminated. She stating that Dancing With the Stars is the most unpredictable show on TV. Well, I wouldn’t go that far, Kelly.

We’re back after election results again - and Karina is rolling those eyes again. Edyta looks scared and so does Cheryl. Cristian and Cheryl are SAFE! She is excited and jumps in his arms where he spins her around with one arm.

Bottom 2 tonight (not the bottom 2 scores necassarily) - are Mario and Karina Smirnoff and Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska. Leaving tonight is Mario and Karina Smirnoff. Poor Mario - he had the spunk and the energy. Mario thanked Len stating he has made him a better ballroom dancer. He also mentioned the brave men and women overseas fighting for our country.

Well, the semi-finals will see Marissa Jaret Winokur, Kristi Yamaguchi, Jason Taylor, and Cristian de la Fuente compete against each other. Will a female take the mirror ball trophy this time? We’ll see. All I know is this Mirrorball Trophy winner could be anyone - yes, anyone this time. In the past, there has been a clearcut favorite, but every single person this season has faultered some more than others. It will be a surprise ending that is for sure.
