And who decided Maks had to button the shirt.

Of course Len thought the start was brilliant: She danced seductively behind him to start!

They felt that the pressure on technique hurt some of the performance..........

Technique: 6-6-6 for a total of 18
Performance: 7-7-7 for a total of 21

Grand total: 39

9 votes per phone line and email address....... phone lines open until 1/2 hour after the show......

There was a slight glitch of the total scores section of the graphic........... it showed the partial total overlaid by the big total score.........

I like Maks's reaction to the Tech scores, what do you want to see for Performance?

Um, Twelves!

Drink of the night

sake

snack of the night

teriyaki salmon bento box

Is the sake supposed to be sipped, or is it OK to chug it?

Absolutly, chug away!

There is concern, because Evan has broken 2 toes in training......

Dancing the Tango to Wait a Minute?

I've got the feeling that they're gonna do the 4 Tango couples first and then the 5 Rumba couples........

That seemed like he worked really hard on that. Good job.

Anna won't have to break another toe, lucky number or not.

That was fun, but it liiked as though there were some glitches in there, too.

Praise from all three judges.

Sade and the Macy's Stars of Dance will have Tyler Peck involved in a combination of hip hop and classical music, I think........

Technique: 9-8-9 for a total of 26 (no scoring graphic this time)

Performance: 9-8-9 for another total of 26

Grand total: 52

They're looking for these moves: Opening Out, Sliding Doors, and Spiral Into Rope Spin

Dmitri and Kym steaming up the screen to Because of You

*thud*

Have mercy!

The female dancer is wearing her underwear! DBF thought it was the Victoria's Secret fashion show! WTH!?

This week Louis visited her on the set of a Clean House in Chicago.

They're gonna dedicate this dance to Niecy's brother whose life was cut short 17 years ago........

Dancing the Rumba to What Do You Say?

Celine Dion : Taking Chances

I thought that was very nice, it wasn't great but it was very nice.

Mixed reviews.

Technique: 6-6-6 for a total of 18 (they've fixed the scoring graphic......)

Performance: 6-6-6 for another total of 18

Grand Total: 36

I think that was fair.

Question -- What does her brother's death have to do with the Rhumba?

They were going for a more spiritual form of 'love' there......

I am just not sure I appreciated it. It is hard for me not to get turned off by the personal tragic stories that are brought into performance (I guess I am still recovering from too much Mia Michaels )

I understand Louis's mission to broaden the rhumba. A huge component about it is the hip action and I don't think the theme of dedicating it to her brother lent itself to that. YMMV.

Agree.

Aiden needs to overcome his panic attacks.......

He had to be on a cruise ship with other soap actors, and Edyta had him dance on the boat shirtless!

Dancing the Rumba to Live Like We're Dying

Heh--AI has Adam as a mentor, DWTS counters by having a song by Kris, you know, that guy who won last year.

That was much improved from how he has danced before, IMO.

Crash. And. Burn.

Meh to the band pimpage.......

Technique: 5-5-5 for a total of 15

Performance: 6-6-6 for a total of 18

Grand Total: 33

I fear Aiden will find his stride too late. He has it in him, just needs confidence. Maybe he shoul dhang out with Chad, some arrogance can rub off.

This is not gonna be pretty. They're both GOOFBALLS! Len told them to get balance in the routine........

Dancing the Rumba to The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

For some reason that was just meh to me.

This is shading toward the negative reviews, because she was a little bit out of control.......

Finally a Brooke *zing!* on Derek!

Technique: 9-8-8 for a total of 25

Performance: 8-8-9 for another total of 25

Grand Total: 50

Nicole struggled, that was tough. Needed just a bit more.

Her boobage scares me.

But it's all new and stuff

Me too.

Samboobree, brought to life by Arkie

Jake arrived for training with a re-commitment to the training......

However, he's struggling with the Viennese Crosses, among other things......

Dancing the Tango to Never Met a Girl Like You Before?

Did he have a bit of a stumble.

I think his posture was better than I remember on other dances more of the time and I think he showed some improvement.

Technique: 6-7-6 for a total of 19, partially due to a stumble while heading toward the judge's table.

Performance: 7-6-6 for another total of 19

Grand total: 38

Zombie Paparazzi Paso Doble........*eek*

Kate relates to Tony about her life the past two years, including Jon's custody battle reignition........ Tony: If you fail, HE WINS! She now feels pity for Tony because she's starting to realize that she struggles with both Technique and Performance............

Dancing the Tango to Let Me Entertain Ya (and I suspect that's Adam screams that the band are trying.......)

For Your Entertainment by Adam Lambert

Interesting how someone else interprets his shrieking.

I didn't see nearly as much improvement as the judges. But that was almost passable.

Considering that I've never listened to any of the songs from his CD, I should at least get some credit, especially for seeing the Adam Screams......

I'll give you almost full credit for that, just 1/2 a point off.

They were happy that there was some dancing in the routine this week...........

Technique: 4-5-5 for a total of 14

Performance: 6-6-6 for a total of 18

Grand Total: 32

Are they buttering her up for the kill? That was awful, as usual.

They're on him about his posture. He figures that sometime he'll find it...... and he's treating her too roughly......

Dancing the Rumba to Touch Me, Feel Me

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart--Alicia Keys.

I think he is showing some improvement, darn I don't want him to do well, but I have to admit he did a good job of that.

I'm getting pretty tired of the Chad and Cheryl show. Please stop it, and just dance!

They're calling it his best dance to date......

Technique: 7-6-8 for a total of 21

Performance: 8-7-8 for a total of 23

Grand Total: 44

I find it funny Derek is having swirling harts behind them.......

Pamela's having timing issues, as well as a warning from Len that her dancing needs to be refined. It's for the ballroom, not the bedroom!

Dancing the Rumba to I Can't Make You Love Me?

Yep that is the song title.

Very nice, Heh--Len thinks she is overdressed.

LAST EDITED ON 04-12-10 AT 10:01 PM (EST)

How can so much material cover so little? I'm on the Pam train. Great job.

Next week's theme: Movie Night! Iconic hits from the movies........ (I think we better triple stock the bar for next week.....)

Technique: 7-8-8 for a total of 23

Performance: 8-7-9 for a total of 24
