Dancing with the Stars - Week 2 - Dancing Update
WWCD = What will Cloris Do? I’ve been looking forward to seeing what this spunky octogenarian has instore for tonight’s (Sep 29) show! Eleven couples remain as week two of the show gets underway.
This week, the dancers will be dancing the Rumba and the Pasa Doble - A dance the stars learned in just four days.
Toni Braxton & Alec Maz
Tonight’s dance - The Ruma,
Nicely done. A good, solid performance.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 8 - I was surprised how good that performance was.
Bruno Tonioli - 8 - I absolutely loved it!
Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - You moved like you sing. There were two lifts. The lift police are in town.
Total Score 23 out of 30
Brooke Burke & Derek Hough
Tonight’s dance - Pasa Doble.
I’m sure DeBeers is thrilled that that song always makes me think of diamonds… the dance was sparkling as well!
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 8 - I thought you portrayed that aggression very well.
Bruno Tonioli - 8 - There were moments of breath taking artistry.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 8 - I was truly mesmerized.
Total Score 24 out of 30
Rocco Dispirito & Karina Smirnoff
Tonight’s dance - The Rumba.
The cooking stopped heating up after Rocco took off his apron - Not a sizzling performance!
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 6 - There were more tears than cheers.
Bruno Tonioli - 5 - The stallion has run out of juice. It just didn’t happen.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 5 - What is lacking is musicality . you weren’t quite with the sway.
Total Score 16 our of 30
Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
Tonight’s dance - Pasa Doble. I always seem to forget how these dances are supposed to look - Anyway, that was fun!
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 6 - It doesn’t work… I’m sorry to say.
Bruno Tonioli - 7 - Always, always thrilling to watch… (there was a bleep in there somewhere)
Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - It was a clever song choice… the end threw me off… You take big risks.
Total Score 20 out of 30
Kim Kardashian & Mark Ballas
Tonight’s dance - The Rumba. We’ll see if she’s really going to bring sexy back. I think she might be a poser and not a dancer.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 6 - I get so disappointed… you’ve got all the gear in the rear…
Bruno Tonioli - 6 - Colder and more distant than Sibera.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 5 - I feel like I’ve seen the same dance three times.
Total Score 17 out of 30
Misty May-Treanor & Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
Tonight’s dance - Pasa Doble. Was it the costume or was she just a little too stiff? She seemed to dance like a board. Although, there was the flip.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 7 - Very, very good attempt.
Bruno Tonioli - 7 - It’s mighty Xena the Warrior Princess. I love your energy.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - You definitely stepped up your game.
Total Score 21 out of 30
Maurice Greene & Cheryl Burke
Tonight’s dance - Rumba. Great energy between them but something appeared to be missing.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 6 - You were rough and clunky.
Bruno Tonioli - 6 - You don’t dance the dance. It lacked fanese.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - It was a little too stiff for some as cool and groovey as you.
Total Score 19 out of 30
Cloris Leachman & Corky Ballas
Tonight’s dance - Pasa Doble. Cloris certainly made an effort to be a little more serious… I’m not sure if it work.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 5 - That was a lovely traditional dance to traditional music.
Bruno Tonioli -5 - Surreal…
Carrie Ann Inaba - 5 - Oooohhh…… I hope that when I’m 82, I’m half the woman you are.
Total Score 15 our of 30
Susan Lucci & Tony Dovolani
Tonight’s dance - The Rumba The timing was a little off.. but overall a very nice job!
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 7 - You came out and acted the dance… well done!
Bruno Tonioli - 7 - It was a very good rumba.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - That was really nice. You transported us to someplace else.
Total Score 21 out of 30
Warren Sapp & Kym Johnson
Tonight’s dance - Pasa Doble. I loved the matrix connection… but I don’t think it really worked - Although it was a fun performance.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 8 - Very, very, intense Pasa Doble.
Bruno Tonioli - 8 - Big, bold, heroic - For a guy of your size, the way you move your feet is amazing.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 8 - You are the Pasa Doble killer!
Total Score 24 out of 30
Cody Linley & Julianne Hough
Tonight’s dance - rumba. I think the kid figured out how to sell sexy!
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 7 - It just lacked a little bit of polished.
Bruno Tonioli - 7 - You are like a kid in the candy store. You actually have the talent.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - It was an age appropriate - rumba.
Total Score 21 out of 30
The one thing we learned tonight, is that the way to Cody’s heart is with chicken and Twinkies. In terms of the dancing, it seemed to me the show stopping performances were missing from tonight’s show.
I’d have to say it will most likely be Cloris Leachman and Corky who will be going home. Agree?

I’m not so sure. I imagine there are a lot of folks calling in for Cloris for who she is. I could see Rocco or Kim going home. Any of the three is fine with me. All have their “things” but none can dance! And yes, Misty was looking very stiff to me. She just lacks a natural grace.
