Scores for Toni - 8, 7, 7, for a total of 22 (the same weight as Toni's dress!) which is a pretty damn good score considering Bruno and Len appeared to hate it.
Up next, Cloris and Corky. Since the Jive is so physically demanding, Corky is trying to build up her stamina. It doesn't look like it's going too well. He asks if she thinks she could do a cartwheel. "Maybe 78 years ago," She awesomely replies. Corky knows they may not be able to do it technically well, so they have to make up for it in entertainment value. Which apparently means they will hump across the floor. Seriously, eeeeeew.
Sorry. I tooted.
The actual performance seems to consist of Cloris and Corky walking around the stage. He jives a little, but Cloris seems to have given up on technique completely. She also loses her wig, which totally throws her. Ah the non-beauty of live TV... This routine is a total train wreck, though the audience is thrilled. Cloris takes a long curtain call, as she seems to know she's going soon.
The mo got your Flo!
Aw, Cloris even gets a chair to sit in during the judging. Bruno calls Cloris' performance "Beyond comprehension," but in a nice way. Well, in a kind-to-the-elderly way. Carrie Ann is also speechless and glad to see the crazy Cloris back, refusing to comment on technique. Cloris wants to hear what she's lacking, so Bruno clarifies "Everything." Ha, harsh.
If you don't have nightmares after looking at this, you have nerves of steel.
The scores for Cloris - 6, 5, 5, for a total of 16. They point out she's consistent in her scores. Yeah, consistently bad, but okay, we'll just leave out that point.
Last up tonight is Brooke Burke. Brooke has been at the top for the past two weeks in a row, so Derek vows to push her tonight. It looks like they're both getting frustrated in rehearsal because she can't remember the steps. He accidentally calls her lazy, but what he really meant was that her mind is lazy. Um, not much better, dude. He's understandably annoyed at having to show her steps over and over again, but she says she just can't remember. They fight and make up, so that was pretty much non-drama.
Teehee I'm just a girl!
They are waltzing to John Mayer. Seriously, would it kill them to just dance to a normal waltzing song? They're not even doing a contemporary spin on the dance, why not use some non-John Mayer music? Brooke is lovely and extended as usual. They flow and spin effortlessly, and I really think we can just pack it up now, Brooke Burke is going to win this season. Aw, she kisses her daughter at the end and I honestly tear up. I am a sap.
If the dishes aren't done by the time I get home, I'm beating you.
Carrie Ann calls her her favorite dancer from all seasons. Len calls it the best dance of the season so far. Bruno says it was dazzling beautiful and calls her a natural. Aw, looks like all is forgiven. Scores for Brooke - 9, 10(!), 9, for a total of 28. Brooke and Derek think their fighting was all worth it. Clearly, for the first 10 of the season.
Hey, have you heard? Misty was injured over the weekend. Now we are FINALLY hearing from her with the details on her injury. She hobbles up to the stage on crutches and they seat her on a stool. Before she can talk, we see the footage of her injury AGAIN, this time complete with a loud pop from her foot. Yikes. Yiiiiikes, she ruptured her Achilles tendon! Ah, that's the worst!
Hey! Why's she on crutches?
Can she play volleyball again? I mean, she's an Olympian and now she's injured thanks to an absolutely absurd extracurricular. Misty explains that she was planning to take a year off from volleyball to spend time with her husband anyways, so she doesn't seem too bummed to be out now. After some lip service to Maks, we are done with the Monday night show!
And now for the RESULTS!
After a graphic explanation about how different the DNA of a dancer is from ours...
...the answer is glitter...
...we get a rehash of last night. Misty died. Waaah.
Me too, girl. Me too.
Then Corky gave birth to an 82 year old Facts of Life alum.
Corn! When did I eat corn?

Why couldn't they get an old person who could at least dance a few steps? It's kind of embarrassing to see poor Cloris out there just walking around, although I admire her spirit.
They had an article in the local paper today about an 85 year old man who still swing dances! Not only that, but they have a picture of him LIFTING a woman--and sometimes he dances with TWO women. Now, that's a real man in my book.
He started in the Army and used to dance at the old Savoy ballroom. I'm sure that there aren't many like him, but there must be an 80 year old celeb who can fox trot or something.

Did anyone else catch the part on the performance show where Cloris was babbling to the judges about how she just wanted 1's? I don't know if she meant she wanted a 10 - delusional much? - or whether she wanted to be scored with 1's so she could just go home or WTF that was about.

Haven't watched in years - but from the recaps (and comments) sounds like Cloris is the main attraction this season.
Love the recaps!

Cloris has to be getting all the old people votes because she is getting dissed big time on all these message boards. Cloris may be funny yet annoying, but I feel bad for these people who are actually trying to improve and getting kicked off while she who isn't dancing at all is still staying on.
Warren is my favorite too, I hope he wins although I know Brooke is going to win, I hope he gets second place thought.

I couldn't believe how many times they reminded us about Misty's injury.
We get it all ready! We got it the first time.
Also, am I the only one that gets irritated by Cloris??? I don't think she's funny.

I think Cloris is making old people look bad, personally.
I read on AOL that Tara Reid wants to be on DWTS, but they don't think she is "family-oriented" enough. What about Corky and Cloris doing all that dry-humping every week? Doesn't really seem appropriate. Of course, that is Corky's idea, I'm assuming, to distract from the lack of actual dancing.
