We’ll get to see if Priscilla Presley is doomed tonight. I have a feeling that she is, but Marlee Matlin could be in trouble too. Could they be the bottom 2 tonight? We’ll see. 

We get to see the backstage confessionals. Marlee Matlin was devastated while Fabian said he wasn’t disappointed in her. Chery Burke and Cristian de la Fuente said they couldn’t get any sexier without it having to turn into Dancing with the Stars After Dark. Shannon Elizabeth was visibly upset saying she couldn’t do it any better. Priscilla Presley talked about her missed turn again and they show us what she meant and it was obvious. Marissa and Tony were elated and she couldn’t stop the tears of joy. Mario was excited about his score and said if he got all 10’s he’d weep. LOL!

I was suprised that Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolani weren’t asked to dance the encore dance. Sure, Kristi Yamaguchi was good, but I thought Marissa was better. Oh well - Marissa will be featured here at www.starsdancingontv.com in the upper right hand corner.

Shannon Elizabeth and Marlee Matlin was backstage with Samantha. Shannon Elizabeth said she felt she did her best and she was visibly disappointed. Marlee Matlin said she’d strangle Samantha if she were to leave - LOL! But then changed it to Tom. Marlee said she’d leave here with pride if she were to leave, but hope she can stay and said she’d learn from this and do better next time. Tom said “Marlee Matlin, she threatens murder and you applaud her. LOL!

Ok, now we are “treated’ to some type of street wannabe marching band? They play some Mexican music and I bet my Mom is just dying. As the band plays we see Edyta Sliwinksa, Anna Trebunskaya, Kym Johnson, Karina Smirnoff as well as Derek Hough, Louis Van Amstel, Jonathon Roberts and Fabian Sanchez dance which was the highlight of the whole thing for me. We now get to see a recap and more confessionals. Marlee said hers sucked. Priscilla said she needs more than a glass of wine after that performance. Shannon said we got 23, I hope we don’t go home while in tears. Marissa asked “can we make out?” while Tony laughed. Mario screamed 27 while Karina shouted ‘poopie’ over and over again. Mark and Kristi rapped Yamalicious, but Mark had problems spelling it. They were singing it to Fergie’s Fergalicious.

The first couple saved was Kristi Yamaguchi and Mark Ballas - not a big shocker at all. The first couple in the bottom 2 was Cristian de la Fuente and Cheryl Burke. DANG! That’s a shocker.

We’re back from commercial and are treated to kids. I didn’t watch last weeks results show so I’m not sure what this is - some type of kid’s competition. Kind of cute, but kind of disturbing. Did you hear these kids talk? They sound like little adults - they said they don’t blame each other and they win and lose as a couple. Hmmmm. I’m weirded out. The first pair of 10 year olds danced the jive and they were really good. They get judged by the judges rather softly I must say, but that is how kids need to be judged. The next kids couple is 8 and 10 years old. They dance the cha cha cha and rather fastly. I swear they look like mini adults out there. It’s just craziness.

I have to say this and poke fun as Samantha asked one of the pair of the little tykes how many episodes they have saved on their “tape recorder” huh? Tape recorder? I know what  tape recorder is because I was born in the late 70’s, but those little tykes don’t. You’re weird, Samantha - not a good ab libber, but she does look stunning in violet tonight. She does have her looks going for her that is for sure.

Tom started to reveal another saved couple, but the teleprompter was way ahead - and he caught it and was going off on the teleprompter operator - LOL! It was a funny, unplanned event. After all the teleprompter business we see a taped package of what the contestants do behind the scenes before a show. On show day, Marissa says she gets really excited and she goes to her trailer to calm down. Um, when aren’t you excited, Marissa? Priscilla goes into her trailer and does Yoga while she visualizes every step of the dance. Guess you didn’t visualize that missed turn, huh Priscilla? Mario does exercises. Shannon gets nervous an hour before they go live so Derek plays the guitar and sings for her. 1 2 3 AWWWW! Marlee Matlin likes being with her kids before a show. Kristi Yamaguchi finds a quiet corner and mentally prepares which is what she did before her ice skating events. Jason Taylor says he has extra time because he doesn’t have to get his hair done, ya know, because he’s bald. We see him outside throwing around the football with Cristian de la Fuente. I liked this package - always like the behind the scenes stuff.

Next couple saved is Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinska. And now an extra long commercial break. Grammy nominated, James Blunt sang his new single called “Carry You Home” while some unknown dancers dance. The unknown dancers are pretty good in doing lots of lifts and tricks. James Blunt looks a bit scary when he sings and he needs to really stretch for those notes. I know - because I’m a singer. Yep, I’m not lyin’, I am.  Dang those unknown dancers especially the girl is twisting and slithering all over her male partner’s shoulders. She looks like a red and white human snake.

Cristian de la Fuente and Cheryl Burke (bottom 2) are backstage with Samantha. Cristian is upset and sad and calls Cheryl the best dancer. Cristian really wants to stay because he wants the challenge. It was a really downer of an interview.

Tom Bergeron revealed the next 2 saved couples. Mario and Karina Smirnoff and Marissa Jaret Winokur and Tony Dovolani. She is of course excited. Derek is hugging Shannon like they are a couple. I’m sorry, but they just look like it. Why am I apologizing? - I’m not sorry. I love it! Will Derek Hough carry the torch of the whole “I’m dating my dance partner” fiasco that his sister Julianne always has to go through every single season. First it was Apolo Anton Ohno and then Helio Castroneves. Funny how Adam Carolla never got the honor or “dating” Julianne. Was he just not good looking enough or did it have to do with the fact that he is married? I don’t know - you decide.

The next saved couple is Shannon Elizabeth and Derek Hough. She looks relieved and humbled. Marlee Matlin and Fabian Sanchez are also safe which leaves Louis Van Amstel and Priscilla Presley in the bottom 2. I’m sorry, but Marlee Matlin should have been in the bottom 2, not Cristian. Tom starts the “scary music” and we learn that the couple leaving us tonight is Priscilla Presley and Louis Van Amstel. The judges are on their feet. Priscilla reveals that she DOES NOT have a psychic hotline - oh lord, people actually believed that? Crazy people in this country. We didn’t get to see her and Louis do their final dance because she was talking the whole time. So we’ll leave it at that - bye bye to Priscilla Presley and Louis Van Amstel. I really thought they had a chance, but the last 2 weeks have not been great. We’ll miss ya both!
