The Red Light Special is starting to get really hungry...... In fact after this week, it'll be looking to devour 4 stars in the following two weeks......

Tonight we'll have a tribute to Michael Jackson by all of the Pro dancers and the Jackson Family.......

Here with ya, vince. I lourve Nora Jones. Don't know if I'll suffer through the rest, been a bad, bad day.

Kelly hurt her ankle in the middle of her Crazy Train Paso Doble.......

Sone of the previous favorites fell and others had their best scres ever!

8 points seperating all of the stars, anyone could be going home tonight!

So this is what it is like to be live for the results show?

Donny/Kym's Argentine Tango, the dance that has gotten the highest score of the season to date!

Usually I like the encore more than the original (pressure off thing)

For some reason I really didn't like this all that much tonight. Don't know why, but I just kept waiting for the "gee this really was good" moment and never got it.

There have been 17 different dances done to Michael Jackson stars, so they're asking the Pros about their favorite Jackson song that they've done.....

Louie: ABC, Season 3

It's Gonna Be

Choreography reminded me of some of Wade Robeson's pieces.

But was the camera crew supposed to be completely blocking the shot for like 10 seconds?

LAST EDITED ON 10-20-09 AT 09:20 PM (EST)

That was so Wade Robeson. Very nice. Didn't get who the dancers were, though.

Will they stay or will they go? Depends on the audience......

Top 3 Judges Leaderboard scores:

Mark/Lacey: Safe

Donny/Kym: Safe

Mya/Dmitry: Safe!

Mark Ballas: P. Y. T. (Pretty Young Thing) from Season 8

Especially on Monday...... and they basically relay from celebrity to celebrity..... as they go about the day.....

Those that scored 24.....:

Joanna/Derek and Maks: In Jeopardy

Kelly/Louis: Safe

Aaron/Karina: In Jeopardy

Kym Johnson: Blame It On The Boogie

LAST EDITED ON 10-20-09 AT 09:33 PM (EST)

Lowest male and female celebrity scores......:

Michael/Anna D: Safe

Natalie/Alec: In Jeopardy

Come Away With Me

Jonathan and one of the Annas

I like her voice, but I think the mixing was off or something, or she mumbles a lot more live than she does when recorded. I seemed to lose her vocals about 1/3rd of the time.

Wow, that was so beautiful. I kept thinking "there'd so much more to this" ... and Tome said it was their wedding song. Beautiful.

I really, really liked it.

Louis/Chelsie: Safe

Melissa/Mark: In Jeopardy

Tribute to Michael Jackson

First comments from his family, pro dancers, and even the male singer of the house band!

LaToya Jackson does the introduction. Looks like they set up a secondary stage at the opposite end of the studio for this number.

(Baby) Give Me One More Chance, Man In The Mirror, and Thriller

The number ended with Thriller's famous Zombie Dance!

i was hoping to miss this part. I know, I know, putting Derek Hough at the front of the "Thriller" piece was probably an homage to Mr. Jackson's impact on future generations, but geeze .

Maybe I missed something, but I thought Derrick got to be in front because he just moves the most like MJ. Just like Tony dances more Patrick Swayze so he got the solo with Cheryl.

Next Couple Safe: Melissa/Mark!

Also Safe: Joanna/Derek

Bottom Two: Aaron/Karina and Natalie/Alec.........

Red Light Special: *heartbeat music* Natalie/Alec!

Aaron/Karina are safe for another week!

For me, it didn't really matter which of them left tonight.

Poor Natalie. Doing a Paso to American Woman? No wonder the judges weren't "feeling" it.

What a screwjob! Nat gets the gate and Michael wasn't even in jeopardy? No effin' way that's fair! Buncha GD idiots voting from home this week. They oughta all be hung.

Cloris. Steve Woz. Tom DeLay, if he didn't hurt his feet.

Happens every year, and not just on this show.......

Could anyone dance to that song? That thing really killed it for her.

Yeah, even at the tme I thought that a poor musical selection for a paso.

Besides the double elemination, and Dance-Off on elimination night, there will be a Mambo dance marathon where they'll be dropped one by one...... (probably mostly by the judges.......)
