Testimonials

Jennie and Derek have their work cut out for them as they do the cha-cha. Sadly, this dance looks a lot like everything else they've done lately, and Jennie displays about as much enthusiasm for the performance as I have for listening to Len sing. I hate it, but the judges like it. Len comments on how much she's progressed since the first week. Bruno refers to her as "yummy" and says she has star power. And Carrie Ann gives it three snaps, as she has an In Living Color flashback. The trio, who are becoming more lenient as we go, give them a 30.

Helio and Julianne have one more dance, and they, too, will do a cha-cha. This time they're garbed in bright red, like tomatoes, continuing their vegetable-themed outfits. This presentation has all the spark and spice the previous cha-cha was missing, and far superior choreography...but there may have been a lift. Bruno nearly bursts as he calls it eye-popping and vibrant. Carrie Ann is at a loss for words. See what happens when the writers strike? She finally settles on "ridiculous." Len says it would be a tragedy if they don't make it to the finals. 30 points. Was there any doubt?

That puts Maks and Mel tied with Helio and Julianne for the lead with 60 points each, Jennie and Derek have 58 points, and Marie and Jonathon are in last with 56 points.

And now...The results.

We all know they have to drag it out for an hour. After all, ABC doesn't have much going on its schedule right now, so they have to stretch the success as long as they can.

In deference to that, they've booked what should have been some good entertainment: Avril Lavigne. I normally enjoy this girl, but she was...bad. Someone needs to tell her to stop drinking before she performs. Or maybe she should drink more. I'm not sure what the problem was.

She was followed by Michael Flatley, shilling his Celtic Tiger tour. I know the guy has talent, and once upon a time I was impressed. But Flately's style of dancing has about as much variety as my landlord's selection of paint. Would you like ecru or pale wheat? And he always looks just a little too pleased with himself...smug little bastard.

Avril came out again to murder her own hit Complicated, and with her, the audience was "treated" to the return of the Cheater Girl, Sabrina Bryan, and her wind-up toy, Mark. It only served to remind me why I'm glad they were voted off.

And - finally - they announce which three couples are headed to the finale. Helio and Julianne are in...Mel and Maks made the cut...and Marie and Jonathon had plenty of support. That means Jennie and Derek won't be around for final Jeopardy. No disco ball trophy for them.

"Woo-hoo!! We're goin' to the finals!!"

Hmmm...Marie stays, and Jennie goes. Guess Jennie needs to produce a few more Garths before entering another competition where she needs votes.
