Gilles and Cheryl

This is, of course after the recrap of last night's festivities, which included Lil Kim getting the first 10 of the season, and Gilles getting the first perfect 30 of the season.....

and Who's in the Bottom 3.....

Safe: Gilles/Cheryl (DUH!) Lawrence/Edyta (that's the 8th place team....)

Bottom 3: Holly/Dmitry

Let It Rock

Pros demonstrating the Paso Doble during the number.........

Dance: Quickstep

Song: It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got that Swing

Pros: Voting has begun!

Costumes: Design Contest!!!!!!!!

Shawn/Mark!

Viennese Waltz, again by the pros.......

Paso Doble and Viennese Waltz...... It's Gille's week to go to the ballroom again, isn't it? He almost always seems to get the more sensual of the dances each week......

Safe: Chuck/Julianne

Bottom 3: Steve-O/Lacey

Lacey seemed to be expecting that.

LAST EDITED ON 03-31-09 AT 08:38 PM (EST)

Motown hits medley ETA: And a few of their own....

Dancing: Cheryl, Tony, Kym, Dmitry

Talking about the contestants' progress throughout 4 weeks......

Lil Kim/Derek
Melissa/Tony

I love David.

Yes I'm trying to impress the judges, they have paddles with numbers on them.

In summary: A couple's total score is: Their percentage of the total points awarded that week + Their percentage of the total votes cast that week.......

Done by all the stars.

Safe/Bottom 3:

Safe: Ty/Chelsie and David Alan/Kym

Bottom 3: Steve/Karina

Bottom 3 is the same as what was on the Judges leaderboard last night: Steve/Karina, Steve-O/Lacey, Holly/Dmitry

We will lose a Steve tonight, sugar bear.

Double Elimination........

First one gone: *heartbeat music* Holly/Dmitry (kinda figured....)

Second one gone: *heartbeat music* Steve/Karina (chorous of boos to applause)

It was a matter of time for both couples.......

Both tangos were painful to watch.

If Holly hadn't stumbled early on, she might've done better. If she hadn't been rattled by her early stumble, she would've done better and possibly have been safe (although still in the Bottom 3, most likely). But alas, it wasn't meant to be.

As for Steve & Karina -- it was only a matter of time. And it'll only be a matter of time for Steve-O and Lacey.

Belle Book

I have no problem with either of them going.

Not for nothing, but it got a little hot in the room when I saw Cheryl dancing the tango with Gilles. Loved it!!! I've been looking for a man that can dance the tango like that for quite some time!!! Course he's been probably looking for someone that can dance the tango like Cheryl!!!! Problem!!!!

Anyway, he was dreamy and Cheryl is such a freakin' great dancer!!! She moves so beautifully and just goes for it!!!

Amazing!!! Bravo Cheryl!!!!

Love ya!!!

Yeah, the Argentine tangos were actually done much better than I feared. Probably because there was actual dancing involved rather than that stupid posing/trick crap they shove down our throats on SYTYCD.
I could quibble about the routines still being ballroomy and it was hard to appreciate the footwork because of the shoddy camerawork, but it was so much better than that other show that I will remain silent.

I was thinking of you all this week!

And I was looking at vacation pictures and thinking of Spinnakers.

Good times!
