Another night of extremes on the dance floor await us tonight, as the dances are the Viennese Waltz and the Paso Doble.

Extra pillows are on standby, especially if somehow Gilles is doing the Paso, not the Waltz....

Gilles is doing the Paso shirtless....

Black shirt/pants, at least down the steps......

Him and Cheryl did an interview where he said he was doing it shirtless. But he was probably just teasing us.

Drink of the night

Martinis

Snack of the night

Olives w/blue cheese stuffing, herb roasted turkey breast, crusted bread, varietal hard cheeses and sliced granny smith apples w/dip.

Caramel dip?

Of course.

Good, again get rid of the cyuute couple first.......

Julianne is trying to get Chuck to really let loose so they can get out of the middle of the pack.....

Dancing the Viennese Waltz to "Feels Like Today"?

Are you allowed to help your partner down the steps with her feet dangling in the air? *shrug*

I thought that was pretty nice, he seemed to be more relaxed than I remember in other dances.

9 votes per phone # and email address this week......

Scores: 7~8~8 for a total of 23 (Carrie Ann probably took off for the floating lift down the steps.....)

Yeah, that was lovey, but why would I vote for them?

I find Chuck bland and boring. Julianne is just irritating. Nope, they would not get any votes from me.

Their personal chemistry may be great, but their dance chemistry is "meh." I'm just not interested in watching them dance together.

Decent job, nothing special, should last a few more weeks.

He's got a tradition to uphold here...... especially Jason Taylor's Paso from last year.....

Dancing the Paso Doble to traditional Paso music....

That music didn't have a whole lot of rhythm, was it me or was the first half of the dance mostly just posing kinda randomly.

LT wasn't really dancing. He stood around and then walked around. I liked the music though.

Scores: 6~7~7 for a total of 20

Carrie Ann's in bitchy mode tonight, are her curls too tight or something?

Might be that time of the month....

Oh no you did not just say "that time of the month" ....

Less tricks, more dancing this week........

Mark's trying to teach her like she's an ice skater, not a gymnast...... she's getting frustrated....

Dancing the Viennese Waltz to "Just A Day"?

So you can artistic flourish these days? But only at the end or something?

LAST EDITED ON 04-06-09 AT 07:31 PM (EST)

Carrie Ann actually let a lift go. *shock*

They looked alot better than last week. And Mark only made the guppy mouth a couple times this dance.

I haven't noticed his guppy mouth, is that anything like Lil' Kim's blow up doll mouth?

Oh My if they had to dance together. Lil Kim and Mark would be so distracting with their facial expressions.

Scores: 9~8~9 for a total of 26

Technically very nice, but I just couldn't warm up to it. Tweens will vote for it, I think.

Melissa's having problem getting into the character unless she's good and ticked......

Dancing the Paso Doble to...WTF? "Poker Face"?

Scores: 8~8~9 for a total of 25

Yep, Lady Gaga Poker Face, Did you not watch the American Idol Results show? She sang it with the zippered eye patch.

She definitely struggled with that. I do like they went for something really hard, but they didn't quite make it.

Some it was a blur, and also, we're talking about the DWTS band who can butcher ever fricking song ever!

*nods* I still have nightmares about "Oh My Darlin' Clementine"

*TWITCH*
You just HAD to bring that up again, didn't you? *TWITCH*

A few missteps this time by Melissa. Bruno still gave her a 9 though.

David jokes that he needs to find the judges weakness and bribe them with it........

Dancing the Viennese Waltz to "I Put A Spell On You"

That was odd. Fan dancing?

If David Purses that mouth any tighter during the judging...

I wondered if Kym was trying to distract the viewers and judges with the fans.

LOL at the pursing of the mouth - I was thinking the same thing. It has to be unconscious but he looks like everything they say leaves a bad taste in his mouth.

Is he better than some other celebrity men, yes. Is he in great shape for his age, yes. Should he stay in the middle of the pack ... yes.

Etta James and Demi Lovato will be the musical gurests tomorrow....

Scores: 7~8~7 for a total of 22

Not the best but it was fun.

*covers the floor with pillows*

Gilles. Paso. Next.

Can I just thank you for your thoughtfulness?
Aims for the pillows.

Wow, that was incredible! *fans self*

Thanks Vince, those pillows were definitely needed!

The last time someone got a 30 this early was Sabrina, who got eliminated a couple of weeks later......

Gilles practices Martial Arts, so Cheryl decides to go to a dojo to help him practice.....

Dancing the Paso Doble to what sounds like Carmen's Theme

Shirtless!!!!!!! At least to start....

I need one of those fans from the previous dance.

*snort*

Pec envy.

Scores: 10~9~10 for a total of 29 and the outright lead.

Gilles genuinely dances from the heart. He absolutely works hard for this, and understands what's at stake.

That was HAWT

They should just name Gilles the champion now and move on.

That's what I'm hoping for. I'd never heard of him, but if I was capable of voting this year that's where all of them would go.

I was actually moved to tears by that performance, as I was by them last week. Wow!

Oh my.

So nice, I watched it thrice

Some of the rest of the Jacka$$ crew come in to help cheer him up and cher him on...... Love the shot of Steve-O dancing with Wee Man......

Dancing the Viennese Waltz to ??? (Sorry it was in French and I last took it 16 years ago.....)

Steve-O's in a mime outfit this week.....

I wasn't sure about the costumes until I heard the singing and then it made sense.

That was very sweet.

Well, what can one say?

Scores: 6~6~6 for a total of 18, which was his best score to date....

At least I wasn't cringing thru the entire dance because he looked in pain this week.

*snerk* The Cowboy now has to be a Bullfigher.......

Ty takes Chelsie to actually see a bull and get on top of the bull....... he even teased to have them open the gate with them on board.....

Dancing the Paso Doble to "Barracuda"

I agree that was a bit stiff.

It was a little stiff, but the cover of Barracuda was so horrendous, no wonder it didn't work.

Scores: 7~7~7 for a total of 21

Ty looked scared while he was dancing.

Sorry, distracted by my cat. Still believe in Ty.

This was a streesful week for Lil Kim, because she shot a music video and a photo shoot both this week.......

Dancing the Viennese Waltz to "I'll Be" (Drops of Jupiter?)

Not drops of Jupiter Goo Goo Dolls - I'll Be

It was really nice and flowy.

I thought it was sung by Edwin McCain (or something like that...)

I LOVE THAT SONG THOUGH!!!

Scores: 9~8~9 for a total of 26

Derek was Lil Kim's boobie protector last week.....

Lil Kim was good. But Derek annoys me.

That did flow nicely. She works so hard. Good for her, deserves the "pimp spot".

My second favorite celeb this season - Kim really throws herself into each dance, and gives it her personal best. I would love to see these two really knock one out of the park.

for great hosting.

No, they shouldn't just name Gilles the champion ad be done with it because then I wouldn't be able to see him flash his pecs ... er, buns ... er ... I mean smile!!! I meant smile!!!!

He's on a totally different level than anyone else. And Cheryl ... she dances on an extra cylinder! She is really, really incredible. And I think a lot has to do with her choreography. It's not the other dancer's choreography is bad, it's just Cheryl knows what steps to throw in to highlight her partner's er ... talents!!! I said TALENTS!!!! She makes them look incredible and they look like they feel comfortable doing them. It seems the rest of the dancers force their partners to do things against their comfort zone - not good - instead of finding movements within the dance that they do look and feel good doing.

I'm telling you when Cheryl stood there and Gilles reached down to her ankles and ran his hands up her legs ... it did an old lady proud!!!! I can't really get excited at this point, but I did have a major hot flash!!!!

Gilles, Gilles, Gilles ...
