Teams Paso and Tango face off on ‘Dancing’
Last week Melissa Joan Hart & Mark Ballas and Bellefontaine native Louie Vito & Chelsie Hightower were sent packing in a double elimination with a dance off for the judges on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ Tomorrow 2 more couples will be sent home.
This week’s costumes were designed by the stars for themselves and their partners.
Tonight each couple will dance once by themselves and then take part in a group dance.
First the pros kick things off to show us how the Paso and the Tango (tonight’s group dance numbers) should be done.
Up first in Round 1 are Michael Irvin & Anna Demidova with a Foxtrot. These two were saved by the judges during last week’s dance off.
Wow. That was really good. Much as I miss Louie (Vito), Michael may have been the right choice after all. It’s not a bad costume design either. Anna looks beautiful!
The judges give them a 23.
Next up, Donny Osmond & Kym Johnson dancing the Quickstep.
It’s pretty good but I’ve come to expect that from him. He’s really got to wow me to impress now. He’s set his own bar too high. Her costume looks like he grabbed every sparkly material piece they had in wardrobe and sewed it together for her costume. Not a fan.
And the judges weren’t too happy either based on their comments.
Their score? 24 — What? He made (by his own admission) 5 mistakes and he scored higher than Michael?
Now for Mark Dacascos & his replacement partner Anna Trebunskaya’s Samba. His partner Lacey Schwimmer is out sick this week. Even Hollywood’s not immune to cold and flu season.
A little shaky here and there but not too shabby! Especially since they had limited time to put it together. Man he’s got a groove going tonight for sure!
Bruno says it was like Kung Fu Panda does the Samba in the Planet of the Apes! Oh Bruno…
Their score = 19. Ouch.
Next up Mya & Dmitry Chaplin do the Foxtrot.
Aww. Chloris Leachman comes into their rehearsal to give her some advice. She’s so cute!
Good musicality. Decent dancing. Seemed like a lot of acting bits and fluff though.
Their score = 25.
Aaron Carter & Karina Smirnoff hit the floor with a Jive.
Whoa! Look at those fancy feet! Those drills Aaron had to do paid off! Oh my goodness!
Wow. Bruno cussed! “Aaron you kicked ass!”
Their score? 29! Len even dusted off the 10 paddle as did Bruno!
Time for Kelly Osbourne & Louis Van Amstel’s Salsa.
Uh oh. As I predicted at the beginning of the season, Kelly’s potty mouth comes out to play this week. Bleep!
For a few moments she seemed to really let go and get into it and have fun but the rest was completely off and at times looked painful for her… And what was with the stripping action (his pants and her skirt)? That wasn’t enough to sexy up this dance. She might be in trouble this week.
The judges loved it though… Score = 24.
Ah romance! Joanna Krupa & Derek Hough Rumba after a cheesy beach rehearsal. That whole beach blanket fantasy was high on the corny, time-wasting factor.
Ooh. That was elegant. Very nicely done. Sadly her shoe got caught in her dress at the end there… but still great.
And the judges loved it. Score = 27.
That wraps up round 1. Now for Round 2: the group dances.
We have Team Paso featuring: Aaron & Karina, Mark & Anna, Mya & Dmitry and Michael & Anna.
And Team Tango featuring: Joanna & Derek, Kelly & Louis and Donny & Kym.
First up, Team Paso who earn 24 points per couple (to be added to their earlier scores).
And then Team Tango earning 28 points per couple.
I think Team Tango takes this one. They were soooo in sync compared to Team Paso. They win this round for sure!
My favorites of the night would have to be Aaron and Karina and Joanna and Derek.
I think Mark & Anna (Lacey) and sadly, Kelly and Louis may be the ones on the chopping block tomorrow night. Although Kelly did redeem herself somewhat in the group dance.
Who do you think is going home on Tuesday?
