Recap: Dancing with the Stars: The Dance Macabre! - 
by B-side
Last but certainly not least were Emmitt and Cheryl, who had to perform a sultry rhumba. I'll admit it. I kind of zoned out. Nothing against Emmitt -- he's definitely the man. I just was growing a little weary. Ninety minutes sure is a loooong time. Anyway, I apparently kind of missed the rhumba to top all rhumbas. The judges were blown away, but again, the perfect score was spoiled by Carrie Ann again. What was up with that? She's never the spoiler!
Carrie Ann doled out a nine, Bruno a ten, and Len a ten too, but he did note, "I wish I could have given an eleven." Wow. High praise! I gotta admit that last season, as much as I liked Jerry Rice, I did feel like the popular vote carried him along sometimes. This time around, Emmitt may have the popular vote too, but he's more than earned it.
What did you think about this ghoulish episode?

You forgot to mention that Joey and Edyta got more praise for their costumes in their "Sympathy for the Devil" number than for their dancing. I think it was Len that asked for them to wear those everyday.
BTW, it just seems to me that Emmitt gets more points because he's a big man dancing well than a slim guy dancing great.

Anyone else think the way they made up Monique made her look like New York? As soon as I saw her last night I was like, yeah, she's doomed.

San Francisco where the two visited Cheryl's house -- which just happens to have a GINORMOUS ballroom
ABC's bio says she lives in NYC. So she has a ballroom in her 2nd home? Forget college, my kids are going to dance school.

I'm so disappointed - I could've sworn you'd put up a picture of Cheryl's hand on Emmitt's crotch! At one point when he was standing and she was squatting next to his leg, I think her hand was supposed to go on his thigh, but it went a little higher than it was supposed to. You could tell by her grin afterwards that she knew it too!
I was thinking that Monique was supposed to be "Slimer" or whatever his name was from Ghostbusters, the ghost that slimed Bill Murray. Wasn't he about that color?
I thoroughly enjoyed the Halloween show! GO EMMITT!!! (Yes, I'm a diehard Cowboys fan!)

Great recap as usual B-Side! Emmitt and Cheryl were visiting Cheryl's family in San Francisco. It was her parents' GINORMOUS ballroom. Evidently, ballroom dancing is the family business. Congrats B, on the new bookcase!

I don't know the proper Russian pronunciation of Karina, but Mario is not really "rolling" his r's when pronouncing her name, though he is saying it in Spanish. A true rolling r is used when a word or name begins with an r (Roberto, Rolando, Rosa, raton, etc.), or when a word has a double rr in it (carro, torre, tierra).
