Gilles & Cheryl (Season 8) - Skip ahead to 1:28 to see the dance.
Apolo & Karina
Both were definitely sexy. Gilles’ was a more subtly sexy while Apolo and Karina just dry humped one another on the dance floor. I like the idea of a statue coming to life as the concept for this dance. However, I think the two background living statues were just distracting. Also, what is with the costumers and those fringed pants? How long before we all join hands across America to stop that?
OK, my rant is over. Let’s see what the judges have to say about this dance. Len wishes the foot placement was a little cleaner and he wanted them to be more in hold. Bruno said something about a muse of dance and spending the night together. He is surprising calm. Maybe he finally had his orgasm. Carrie Ann thinks the dance will be one they never forget.
Scores:
Carrie Ann – 9
Len – 8
Bruno – 8.5 (He didn’t yell “and a HALF!” Maybe he really did have his orgasm!)
25.5/30
After the commercial break, Kelly and Val are dancing the paso doble that Maks and Laila Ali did in season 4. Oh, man! Kelly is putting brother against brother! I’m sure this was in no way set up by producers to try to create any type of drama. Sadly, we really don’t get that.
Laila & Maks (Season 4) - Skip ahead to 1:48 to see the dance.
Kelly & Val
I should probably say that Laila and Maks were better because, well, Laila could kick my ass. However, I think Kelly and Val vastly improved the dance. For starters, Kelly actually danced a lot more than Laila did. Also, even without hearing the story, there was a pretty clear narrative going throughout that dance. Just from watching it, you knew what the story was.
Now let’s hear from the people who actually know anything about dance! Bruno is back to building to his orgasm. He stands up and tells Kelly that he’s tingly with pleasure. Carrie Ann loves the chemistry that Val and Kelly have. Len wants to know where the talent suddenly came from. He loves Kelly’s expression throughout her entire body.
Scores:
Carrie Ann – 9
Len – 9
Bruno – 9
27/30 They’re currently tied for first place!
Hooray! Kristie is going to recreate Carson Kressley’s cha-cha from season 13! I loved Carson like it was my job (partly because he was from my hometown – yay, for the Lehigh Valley!). If anyone was going to bring the same level of entertainment, it would be Kirstie. The two of them are just nut jobs, but they own it!
Oooh! Before we get to the dance, Tom has a “bombshell announcement.” Paula Abdul will be a guest judge next Monday night. Because Carrie Ann and Bruno just didn’t bring enough crazy, I guess. I’m kind of excited to see what Len does when he has to deal with Paula. I can’t wait to see what happens!

First off, THANK YOU for letting me relive Joanna and Derek’s paso. Still one of my favorites from any season. How Bristol keeps making it week after week shocks me. Like how much more weight do the votes have over the judges? Just blergh. And how does ABC think that we put Sabrina on the show and here it is week 3 and we’ve already abandoned her? More just blergh. At least we get to see new dance styles next week so everyone will be out of their comfort zones.
I predict that Bristol Palin will make it to the top 4 at the very least. The Tea Party is highly invested in pissing off “liberals” (their words, not mine), and the more people are outraged about it, the more they will vote. Not that I’m suggesting that you stop complaining — I’m not watching the show, but I’m loving the snark in this recap!
As for the fight with Mark — just another reason why the Palins are one of the most annoying families in America (like mother like daughter). Can anyone really blame Mark for possibly not wanting to be saddled with one of the worst dancers of an all-star season while two of his most talented partners are paired up with his competitors?
Curious as to why ABC would even invite Bristol back. I know I know I know there is no such thing as bad publicity and yes everybody can’t stop talking about it (including myself).
BUT
While indeed everybody is talking about it – it is erroding the credibilty of the show that it is supposed to be promoting. Every week she stays “better” “dancers” are forced to leave thus making it a populatilty contest and not a show about dancing. Maybe ABC should rename it from Dancing with the Stars to Voting for the Stars??
On top of it all Bristol has the personality of a wet loaf of bread and her incesssant whining and lack of enthusiam for anything only further frustrates non-tea party voters as this show is meant to entertain of which she (Bristol) does the opposite. If ABC’s is betting on the fact that noo Tea Partiers will “rise up” to oust her that has yet to happen – all that has happened is annoyance and frustration on behalf of your average fan. I guess this is how ABC says thanks for tuning in…
@jarthon: They seem to do that every now and then. The only other season I followed closely was season 13. I remember there was a week that the bottom two were J.R. Martinez and (I think) Chaz Bono. The elimination was BEYOND obvious at that point. I think the producers like to keep us on our toes. They always make sure to mention that the “bottom two” don’t necessarily have the lowest combined scores. The person going home does, but the person staying could have a very high combined score. It’s just to create drama.
@Lizbot: I like to think that I’m complaining for your entertainment – not to just be a little bitch and get attention by playing the victim. The funny thing is, Mark never once made it seem like he felt “stuck” with Bristol. From what I’ve seen on the show, they seem like they get along great and are pretty good friends. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bristol was just trying to get attention, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if the producers set that up to create drama. I always have to remind myself that, first and foremost, this is a show.
@considerthis: As much as Bristol sucks, she does bring in a big audience and is considered “controversial.” Granted, it’s just pissing off more and more people. However, one thing I will say in Bristol’s defense (sort of), she is the kind of contestant that this show should be about. I would rather see someone without a dance background come in and actually learn something. I always go back to season 13 (again, it’s the only season I really followed closely up until now) and remember both J.R. Martinez and (please don’t judge) Rob Kardashian coming in with little to know experience and both turning out to be pretty good by the end. Although I don’t want to see Bristol (I just can’t with this one anymore!), I do like the type of contestant that she is.
*Little to no experience…not little to know. It bothers me to no end when I find typos AFTER something is published.
I wonder how much money the RNC is paying teabaggers to vote for Bristol. There’s no way that galumphy girl deserves to last longer than the much better dancers.
I think it’s HILARIOUS that Mark BallsNass got Bristol as a partner. They are both bitches. Now, that we’ve got that established, during the bitch-fight, Bristol did say to Mark that he never showed up for rehearsal one day (the reason for her hissy fit), and he didn’t deny it.
Oh PopePhilly, please don’t get me wrong — your recaps are the only thing I enjoy about this show! Please keep keep it coming! You have every right to be outraged at Bristol’s continuance in the competition, and you’re very funny while you do it! I was just bitching and moaning about it in my own little way. Looking forward to reading more next week.
Here is an article that says the Tea Party has “cracked” ABC’s call-in code and they can now vote for Bristol to infinity and they will, no matter what and they have groups that don’t even watch the show who are doing just that.

The voting process needs to change.
Oh, I’m sorry…… I LOVED you recap!
@ChaCha: Like I said, this is the REAL “vast right wing conspiracy.” Hillary needs to be all over this!
@Enrique’s Mole: Good point! I forgot about that. However, I wouldn’t be all that amazed if Bristol was blowing that out of proportion. I’m willing to bet that Mark called her because he couldn’t make it for some reason. She just seems like the type of person who would hold a grudge for something like that.
@Lizbot: I know what you meant.
I was just trying to joke about the difference between a recapper’s complaining (which, in my COMPLETELY unbiased opinion, is always funny and entertaining) while Bristol just wines.
@Chooch: I read that article too! They really do need to figure out a different way to set up voting. Now, not to defend that practice, other contestants’ fan bases could do the same thing. We could all make up fake email addresses to vote. That doesn’t make it right by any means. I’m just saying. I hope that made sense. It’s late and I’m a little drunk. Hahaha.
@PopePHilly: Phew! I thought you knew, but I just wanted to make sure.
