Back for another results show with James Blunt performing, terribly exciting. It is funny that Samantha Harris referred to it as, “another action packed results show.” Action packed?? Not so much action packed, but usually fun no less. The backstage stuff with Marlee Matlin crying and apologizing makes me very sad. I don’t feel as bad for Shannon Elizabeth and her tears. We get to see Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas perform again, it is honestly about time for them-they deserve it.

Backstage Samantha Harris interviews Shannon Elizabeth and Marlee Matlin. Shannon makes excuses and tries to hold back the tears. Marlee Matlin makes jokes and does not make excuses, she shows an awful lot more dignity than Ms. Elizabeth. Someone named Oza Motley or something is performing, I don’t know who they are but I am liking the sound. Tom Bergeron said pretty much all of the professionals were going to dance to this and they come out with lots of Latin flair. This whole thing is swell, for a group number that is!!

First safe couple, Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas, do you think they were nervous because the last two encore dancers have been ousted? Doubt it. Ooh, Cristian de la Fuente and Cheryl Burke are in the bottom two, uh oh!

More children on parade trying to act like adults, and you thought those zany polygamists in Texas were tough on kids! The kiddies, Dimitri and Michelle are doing the jive. Listen, I’m all for kids doing extra curricular stuff, but to compete at this kind of level, I’m just not sure kids need to deal with that kind of pressure. I have a very hard time watching this. Jeryd and Cara, equally cute kids are doing the cha cha cha. That’s all I am going to say about it. Jeryd & Cara will be back again.

Next safe couple, wait no-the teleprompter jumped ahead and Tom had to back track, he is playing it off in a very funny way. They do a montage about pre show jitters. Mario uses it as an excuse to show his muscles and Derek to plug his musical career.

Next safe couple is Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska. Also, not terribly surprising.

James Blunt performs. I don’t get this guy, I guess he is an ok singer and all that but it is just not my style. The dancing is fabulous, love seeing all of the crazy lifts! Also safe are Mario & Karina Smirnoff and Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani.

Also safe are Shannon Elizabeth & Derek Hough and Marlee Matlin & Fabian Sanchez. That leaves Priscilla Presley & Louis Van Amstel in the bottom two with Cristian & Cheryl. So who does America like better, the Latin lover or the King’s wife???? I guess we like to Latin lover more because Priscilla & Louis have to say good bye, I feel bad for the old cougar!
