Let me start by saying that I agreed with Alyssa. This season is a little lackluster for me. I wish Adam Carolla were still on the show. At least he was fun!! I have high hopes for someone to really love next season!

As for this 100th episode, I am looking forward to it, at least a little bit. They start the show by picking their favorite dance of all five seasons. They choose Mario Lopez & Karina Smirnoff doing the Tango. DOes anyone else think they should have chosen a winner? Like Helio maybe??? It was a very good dance, but the best? I think that has an awful lot to do with Mario being on the show tonight.

I think they have all of the pro’s dancing in a big group dance at the opening. It looks good and it is always nice to see some of the old faces. Karina does an amazing and slightly scary lift, wow. Lots of DWTS alumni in the audience, including Jerry Springer and Mark Cuban-fun times.

Recap time. Mario & Karina Smirnoff are funny. Marissa Jaret Winokur is annoying. Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas are cute and as sportsmanlike as we have come to expect. Jason Taylor and Eydta Sliwinska are equally classy. I think I am beginning to agree with the critics that Cristian de la Fuente is faking his injury a bit.

Performance time with Rascal Flats and Julianne Hough and Apollo Ohno. This should be interesting. It always amazes me that such big names are willing to be on this show, if you follow country music at all you know that Rascal Flats is pretty big stuff. I supposed that it does not hurt aspiring country star Julianne Hough to be associated with them. She and Apollo’s dance is swell.

Tom Bergeron brings us back from the break by interviewing the former cast members in the audience. He interviews Lisa Rinna, yep she is nuts. The rest of the gang plugged their respective projects.

Carrie Anne Inaba is wearing a truly horrible dress tonight. It looks like she put on her 1987 prom gown, yuck. Oooh, Helio Castroneves interview…sigh, I miss him, my lover!

Mario Lopez and the ‘A Chorus Line” cast are up next. This is a great play. I can’t imagine how badly Mario Lopez-who honestly could not act his way out of a paper bag- would ruin it for me. I can’t comment on it any further, too sad.

Rascal Flats are back with their remake of “Life is a Highway” and Mel B. & Maksim Chmerkovskiy performing. They dancers get a thunderous applause. They are also swell, not as swell as Julianne & Apollo, but swell none the less. Kelly Monaco says that she wants Kristi Yamaguchi to win, but Apollo says either her or Jason Taylor. Ooh, there is some Drew Lachey for Alyssa! He thinks Cristian will win, I seriously doubt that. We get to see Mario Osmond faint again, fun times.

I think we are about done with the talent for the evening, so hopefully we will get to the elimination soon, very soon, I’m tired. Finally, after a montage that I am too tired to write about, let’s just say it was DWTS predictable, the first safe couple is Marissa Jaret Winokur & Tony Dovolani and Kristi Yamaguchi & Mark Ballas. Tom Bergeron has to shoo them backstage for their Samantha Harris interview, pretty funny Tom-I almost love you as much as Helio.

As Samantha Harris interview Kristi & Mark, he holds her in the prom picture pose. You know the one with the guys hand around your waist, but holding the top of your hand so that the guy is not actually touching the gals hip. Odd.

Next safe couple is Cristian de la Fuente & Cheryl Burke. The last safe couple is Jason Taylor & Edyta Sliwinska, which means we say good bye to Mario & Karina Smirnoff. Is anyone surprised? I’m not.
