I had the time of my li-i-ife.

Theme is best years. Whose ego will explode all over the dance floor.

Keep that and all else that happens on this thread until the West Coast shakes off the nostalgia of their Glory Days.

Looks like some fainting drama in rehersal.

Gleb came down the stairs by himself...maybe more than just some drama...

Crowd really loud. Lisa sat out rehearsal, she is resting and may or may not dance.

Viennese Waltz and best year 2012 being on the Bachelor finding his...um...fiance? Didn't watch the show so I assume they are playing up the relationship being on DWTS and all.

I Won't Give Up - Jason Mraz

And a kiss for Katherine at the end. Trying so hard to script this into a wedding.

Len. He was steaming and I'm beaming. Frame was good. Got a bit excited sometimes and speed up. Footwork haphazard. But overall good.

Bruno. Wide Eyed innocence of a child. Played it well. Have fluidity but it doesn't carry on and you stumble. Have to build on this.

Carrie Ann. Got so moved, Grace we are working on. Missed a lift last week early and so didn't count off for anyone, but the Lift Police is back.

6 - 7 - 7 - 20

Paso Doble to We Will Rock You - Queen.

He was supposed to lose the fight but won. Took the championship.

Boxing Ring projected on the screen to set up.

I think he is forgetting some of the steps. That was awkward all the way around for me.

Bruno. You punched the daylights out of the Paso, you are supposed to dance it not destroy it. Missed the footwork and missed your Spanish Line. I know you can do better.

Carrie Ann. What comes from your face, gotta work on your arms. This round went to the Paso Doble.

Len. Admire your spirit. Come back stronger and try harder. Needed more refinement, gave your all.

Each Dance must have a solo.

6 - 6 - 6 - 18

I like Victor okay, but he was so totally lost out there a lot of the time! Plus, he didn't know what to do with his hands! I felt bad for him, honestly.

Dancing the Foxtrot. Best year 2012. Son being born.

Watching You - Rodney Atkins

Kidlet is just bewildered. Mama is crying.

Carrie Ann. Just Phenomenol. Something so joyous. Went out of the box a little. Have a shot at winning this. Butt sticks out, get the booty in.

Len. I was a fan of that foxtrot. Solo was light relief. Big guys trying to do elegance is great. Danced the part.

Bruno. Flash and Flare. Love the exuberance. Sometimes hands a bit like spatulas, reach to the end of it.

8 - 8 - 8 - 24

I love country music & I love Jacoby, but that song is NOT Foxtrot material! Still really enjoyed it, though. Too cute dancing in front of his son, LOL!

Titanium.

About the Olympics.

Liked the boys at the Olympic Village.

Len. I liked the balance between emotion and athleticism. Complained about the back flip as a joke.

Bruno. Going for gold. Emotionally intense, and deeply felt.

Carrie Ann. Very proud of you. Contemporary is about emotion and being in the moment. Was Profound.

9 - 9 - 9 - 27

Really enjoyed that! It hurts me to say that about a dance with Spats, but there ya go!

I'm surprised how out of shape Mark has become. That, and he was really winded when they got up to the top of the stairs.

Dedicating to his daughter, she used to dance for him. This is the best year of his life.

Viennese Waltz to Hallelujah.

Bruno. Fragile quality. Played it straight and well.

Carrie Ann, is crying. Gives Andy a Hug. So beautiful. It was like the simplest poem. What you said with those few moments was beautiful.

Len. Fake crying. I'll tell you this. You came in a man and you will go out a hero.

7 - 7 - 7 - 21

That was something really special! I'm so glad for him that he got to do that dance!

2009, year started working in LA. Set up her career. First Disney audition.

Beyonce - Love on Top.

Felt more foxtrot than Samba to me.

Wynonna in the audience.

Carrie Ann. You are baby Beyonce. Val, fantastic choreography. Every nuance, Beyonce better watch her back.

Len. Like more Samba in the solo section. More straight in the legs. Great dancer.

Bruno. You got it, oh baby you got it. Star power. Fearless. Cool, slick. A samaba for today.

Love that, I hope my best years ahead of me.

9 - 8 - 9 - 26

Good dance, but I didn't see enough Samba in it. It was nice, though.

Viennese Waltz For the year he got married.

A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

Len. Commend you on your footwork. Liked the solo section. There was a couple of little incidents with the arms. Don't hold a grudge for the judge.

Bruno. Elegant, Dashing, You did control it. Worked hard.

Carrie Ann. Look at the difference, you worked on your core. When you add love to the dances they blossom.

8 - 7 - 8 - 23

That was really pretty! He sure is easy on the eyes, LOL!

Foxtrot Because nothin' says Compton like the Fox Trot.

Etta James I want to make love to you.

He had some fun with that.

Bruno. You can savor the flavor. Tough love works for you. More content and up a leve.

Carrie Ann. Real Breakthrough.

Len. I admire your spirit. Far more content, far better, wasn't so intense. Fun and much smoother. Practiced much more this week.

Brooke wants him to talk her through the solo.

7 - 7 - 7 - 21 He is acting really shocked, falls to his knees.

So, crawling on all fours is a solo now! Wow - who knew?? I hope DL goes home this week, although I may have to amend that when/if Lisa dances.

Now, now, he also molested the judge's desk.

And that supposedly was as good as Andy's. BAH!

New Show - Bet on your Baby? Yikes!

Rumba, Kyle Jacobs (her hubby) Say I do. (he will be singing it as well).

She seems awkward in this dance. Like she had a hard time dancing in all the moments of the slow movements.

Carrie Ann. Beautiful shapes. Maybe dancing in front of the husband, the movements were a little clipped.

Len. Immersed in the dance. Music was wonderful. Needed more fluidity.

Bruno. Sequence of images, beautiful.

9 - 8 - 9 - 26

That was very nice, but I've liked other dances of theirs more.

She's dancing.

Best year, daughters wedding.

Dancing the Cha Cha Cha.

Had a fever, may have the flu.

Lift at the top, didn't let her go down the stairs on her own.

Dancing to Celebration.

At least we get shirtless Gleb.

Len. Been poorly, gave it your best shot. could have been crisper, but probably under-rehearsed.

Bruno. Look pretty good coming out of hospital. What you did, you did well.

Carrie Ann. So much potential. Gleb, cannot do lifts, point off.

6 - 6 - 6 - 18

That was okay & I give her credit for not being a whiner & wanting to continue on!
