Dancing with the Stars - Week 5 - Update
We’re half-way through season 7 of Dancing with the Stars - and against the odds, Cloris Leachman is still dancing. Will this week be here last dance? I keep asking that question and yet she is still around.
Adding a twist to this season’s competition, the producers have added four new dances to the competition - including: The Hustle - West Coast Swing -The Jitterburg and Salsa.
Tonight’s results -
Lance Bass & Lacey Schwimmer
Tonight’s dance - West Coast Swing Oops… Lance fell… Even though the I didn’t care for the background singers… It was fun and that Lacey can dance - but what about Lance.
Judges Comments
Len Goodman - 7 - (to Lacey) You have to show off your partner (Lance) a little bit more.
Bruno Tonioli - 7 - You’ve got it- why are you holding back.
Carrie Ann Inaba - 7 - I don’t think you paid enough attention to Lance’s dancing Total Score 21 out of 30

Tonight’s dance - West Coast Swing This dance appears to be a little more like a show tune and if that is the case, is was just okay.
