Dancing With The Stars: Results Wk. 8

Posted By: Bridget On: November 12, 2008 Comments: ( 2 )

I am not recapping the recap show that was on prior to the results show.  If there is anyone watching that show, tell me now, because seriously I don’t believe it has any viewership at all.  Anywho, I slept on it and I think Cody Linley is going home tonight.  Brad Paisley and Julianne Hough are performing to promote the CMA or CMT or whatever country awards are on tomorrow on ABC.  Synergy.

Tom announces that someone is going home after “captivating America with their solos.”  I’m not sure “captivating” is the right word Tom, but I love you anyway.  Samantha has horrible hair again.  I think a bird has built a nest out of the hair at the base of her neck.  I wonder what she did to the hair department to make them hate her so much.

They are doing this staged judges chat again.  It blows.  Recrap, recrap, recrap.  At the end of that they showed a full length shot of Samantha’s dress.  It is horrible, I guess she pissed off the wardrobe department too.

Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson get the spotlight dance with their Tango.  I would have preferred to see their Jive again.  Unfortunately, the producers did not consult me.

Julianne is backstage looking more serious than normal.  Her hair is not great.  She tries to compliment Edyta Sliwinska, it is hard to sound sincere when you are on TV.  Samantha announces that DWTS is nominated for a People’s Choice award.  Another program I don’t think anyone actually watches.

Brad Paisley is performing his song, “Ticks.”  I find Brad Paisley endearing and funny.  Lacey and Benji Schwimmer come out in cliche country costumes.  They do some cute dancing mixing their signature wild child style with traditional country moves.  It is fun to watch them dance to this song, they are very cute.

Audience comments.  Yawn.

First safe couples are Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson and Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer.  Why does Samantha Harris look at the camera like a drunk trying to read a street sign?

Dr. Drew Pinskey is doing some ridiculous interviews of the couples.  This is beyond stupid.  Do I really have to watch this garbage?  I’m not going to recap it, you all deserve better.

Next up is the “Design a Dance” contest.  It is the Jive to “Great Balls of Fire.”  The stars, also picked by the audience are Derek Hough and Julianne Hough.  The costumes have piano keys on them, fairly typical but cute.  Julianne actually carries Derek on her shoulders for a brief moment, weird.  The dance is great, very fun.

More Dr. Drew garbage.  Fake tears, my eyes are rolling.

Brad Paisley performs again with Edyta Sliwinska, Kym Johnson, Karina Smirnoff, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Alec Mazo, and some other male I don’t recognize.  This was fine, I spent most of it trying to identify the mystery guy.

Tom Bergeron plugs the tour and announces that it is being choreographed by Maksim.  That’s very exciting.  He asks Maks what he did to his hair, the answer was, “cut it.”

Next they show some anatomy of a dancer montage.   Again, whatever.

The third safe couple is Brooke Burke and Derek Hough, as if there was any doubt.  That leaves Maurice Greene and Cheryl Burke and Cody Linley and Edyta Sliwinska on the chopping block.

Maurice Greene and Cheryl Burke are out.  I am slightly surprised.  He is a better dancer than Cody Linley, but I guess the Disney kids dial faster than the old Olympic fans.
