Well tonight we separate the men from the boys errr in case of Brooke the woman from the boys. Who will go home tonight leaving us with the top 3 couples? My Mom and Bridget are hoping Cody Linley will leave us, but I’m thinking Julianne Hough’s fans will save them. That means Warren and Brooke could be in trouble. I think Lance will be safe b/c of his amazing job last night.

Samantha looks great in her dress tonight. Her hair is a bit slicked back, but it looks great with her black dress. Aretha starts it off tonight with “Chain of Fools”. She still sounds good and out comes Louis Van Amstel, Karina Smirnoff, Anna Trebunskaya, and it looks like Dmitry Chaplin from So You Think You Can Dance. The girls are sporting big curly fro’s. I barely recognized Karina. Here’s Dmitry’s MySpace if you are interested in checking him out.

Now we get recrapping and backstage confessionals. I am fast fowarding through the recaps and if there are good backstage confessionals then I’ll report. Lance said getting a 9 from Len is like getting a 12 for them. LOL!  Lance said his new niche for Len is 1 shoe on and one shoe off. Good one Lance. You were on fire tonight not only on the dance floor, but in the confessional too. You go!

Leona Lewis is performing her song, Bleeding Love, which is the most overplayed song of this year. UGH! This song needs to die and go away for good. I’m sick of it. She’s a good singer, but annoying song. Maksim and Karina Smirnoff are dancing to it which makes it tolerable. Glad that is over with. Oh and Maks’ pants are a little high up in the waist - sorry Maks, you are usually fasionable, but these pants are looking very high waist 90’s if you ask me.

Judges tells us what the stars have that will get them to the finals. Cody’s is giving 100%. Bruno says Lance’s dance are full of content and creativity. Warren’s is giving the audience what they want. Len said Brooke is the most polished one and is the one to beat. Not after last night she isn’t.

Julianne Hough is singing now - “My Hallelujah Song” - and you can barely hear her b/c the crowd is going nuts. They love her and so do I. Mark Ballas and Derek Hough dance and she dances with them. Cute stuff. Lacey comes out and does a solo. She dances up on the steps and gives Julianne props and Julianne obliges right back. Julianne’s “hair” is gorgeous. I put that in quotes b/c it is fake extensions. She has a mullett right now as she grows her own hair out. Now, Lacey dances with Derek and Mark in couples dancing. Good times!

John Legend performs “Dream Life” and he has a posse’ on the dance floor looking up at him like a concert. I think they are plants. He must bring them with him where ever he goes.  Oh now they are groping his legs and dancing up on stage with him. Ok they are his dancers and John gets off the stage and goes into a small stage surrounded by sticks. I can’t describe it, but that is what it looks like. The song wasn’t bad, but it did keep repeating something about “getting a green light”.

The stars family members are supporting their stars. Brooke’s hubby is telling us how much he falls in love with her more and more as she dances. Cody’s and Warren’s Mama’s are big supporters as is Lance’s Grandpa who admitted he calls in votes for Lance. Awww!

Aretha Franklin is now back and so are Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas. Let’s see if Kristi still has it!! Aretha sings “Respect” and I have to admit - she kind of sounds like she doesn’t still have it during this song. Perhaps it is the key the song is played in? I dunno. I won’t mess with the queen so I will leave it at that. Kristi starts off getting lifted way above Mark’s head. To give Aretha her props as well as queen Kristi they do a split screen so we can see both for a bit. Kristi looked great - she was out of her shell and strutting her stuff like a champion. Way to go, girl! The crowd was on their feet the entire time as were the judges. GREAT!!

Now we get a taped package about how bad A$$ they all are - ya know, now getting down to business. It was a lot of smack talk, posing, smoke, and black leather or pleather maybe. What I’m wondering is if my Mom is sickened by Cody’s posing and facial expressions? LOL! Oh, and I’m also wondering when we are gonna see some results.

Tom is now on with a funny saying we lost two of them to smoke inhalation - haha! Funny stuff. Ok, we are finally gonna see who is safe - ’bout time. First safe couple to dance in the finals is Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer to which Lance said to Lacey “congratuations, baby!” Also moving on are Brooke Burke and Derek Hough. The two couples who are in jeopardy are Cody Linley and Julianne Hough and Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson.

Samantha is backstage and will inteview the safe couples - or she will TRY to interview them. They are giving each other too much love saying they are glad they are in the finals together. C’mon, we wanna see blood here. I guess it is a family show.

We’re back from commercial and we are about to find out who is leaving us tonight. Leaving us tonight are Cody Linley and Julianne Hough. The crowd didn’t seem too pleased. I will miss Cody and more so, Julianne, but I’m sure Bridget and my Mom are happy. I wish Julianne could have went for her 3rd trophy, but I guess we will have a new winner this season. Cody’s Mom looks heart broken. How sad!!

We get a new thing tonight seeing Cody’s “great” moments and we see Cody and Julianne’s expressions while watching it. They look cute together as they watch their moments. It was priceless. Their final dance - they are holding each other close and then they break out to booty shaking - hard booty shaking. Really cute! Then they go back to hugging really close. Awwww!

We have the finals next week with our three couples: Warren Sapp and Kym Johnson, Lance Bass and Lacey Schwimmer, and Brooke Burke and Derek Hough. They will get to do a freestyle dance which is always one of my favorite DWTS moments. The Mirrorball Trophy is up in the air this season, folks. It is anyone’s game. Comment and let us know who you want to win this season!!
