This should be interesting. Of course they look just fantastic in performance. The couples are really stepping up their game this week! I think just about everyone has been great. Anyways, back to Brooke and Derek, they are clean and maintain their high energy through their entire performance, with flips and spins all over the floor. Both of their hairdos are absurd and the hair person should be fired.
Len says Brooke is consistently top notch. Bruno calls it vigorous, upbeat and "an unbelievably stylish rendition of American Grafitti - Glorious!" Carrie Ann can't even nit pick. Hurray for Wikipedia! Scores for Brooke: 10, 9, 10, for a total of 29. Still ridiculously good.
Last up this evening, Cody and Julianne, clearly going for an "I Love Lucy" theme. Last week the judges thought he was finding his "mojo." Like Derek, Julianne is unsure of the steps to the Jitterbug. But instead of doing some research on The Internets, Julianne opts to sneak into Derek and Brooke's rehearsal to see what they're doing. The look on Cody' face is kind of priceless when Julianne suggests this, all "WTF have I gotten myself into?"
Uh...I'm on the Disney Channel.
In rehearsal it looks like they opted to stuff as many tricks into the routine as possible, complete with Cody groaning in pain with each step, so this performance should be interesting. Clearly the producers had a hand in deciding who got what dance, because can you imagine Cloris attempting the Jitterbug? I can, but it ends in her death, so I'm going to stop imagining that. Cody and Julianne are cutesy and high-energy, but I think Brooke and Derek's routine had a greater impact.
Nice dye job, Code. Very method.
Bruno says it was a "firebug" and goes on about frantic energy. The only frantic person I'm seeing right now is you, Bruno. He also enjoyed their acting. Carrie Ann thought this dance was perfectly suited to Cody, and thinks he's giving Brooke a run for her money. Len also liked it very much. Whoa, Derek and Julianne are siblings? That makes sense. Scores for Cody: 10, 9, 9, for a total of 28. Derek celebrates his victory. Is this going to be a showdown with the siblings? We'll see....
And now it's time for the results picture recap!
Welcome back to Dancing With the Stars! Since Kathy Griffin made such a big deal this week about firing her agent because he landed her a spot on DWTS (LOL. Kathy Griffin), the producers shot back by making Brooke look like Andy Dick in drag, which looks like Kathy Griffin.
Good one, producers!
Just add red.
Tonight, Tom promises, will be the biggest performance night yet! My fingers are crossed for my favorite star, Charo.
OK now I'm just getting myself all worked up.
Last night, the judges were worried that they wouldn't get enough airtime with an hour and a half show, followed by an hour long recap show (was Opportunity Knocks really that bad? Discuss.), followed by an hour long results show; so before Len and Bruno jumped on their plane and Carrie Ann hailed a cab back to her cats and her Tivo, they had a meeting to discuss the new dances of the week.
Let's get this over with. My cats are starving.
They talk about how great Warren did, but they didn't mention that he snapped his poor partner's neck with his move, the "Start the Lawnmower".
They also loved Brooke, of course, who now looks like Nina from Just Shoot Me. Damn this show and it's celebrity morphing ways.
"One more crack like that, and I'll put the M&M's on the high shelf." -Nina
Len explains that he couldn't join the other judges in handing out tens because he refuses to give a perfect score to a jitterbug. "It would be like giving an Oscar to Mickey the Mouse." Friend of Donald the Duck. First of all, then why the f did you make them do the jitterbug? And second of all, you apparently have never seen The Gallopin' Gaucho, cuz the mouse was robbed, k?
Eat your heart out, Meryl Creep!
They pretty much hated Toni. Some blame the looming possibility of heart failure at any moment. Personally, I blame the leg warmers.
Not ok, Toni. Not. OK.
They didn't appreciate Lacy out dancing Lance, who tried to make up for his lackluster performance with one of his eyebrow shows.
Didn't work.
Yes, Lance should be given more to do.

Still not watching... but love reading your recaps.
Sounds like Cloris is to this show what Sanjaya was to American Idol (is there a webb site called vote4theoldest.com?)

The best part of the re-cap show that aired before the results show was that they were able to repeat the performances, judges comments, and scores all in under an hour. What was missing? The backstage interviews, which just reiterated how useless Useless is.

Oh and also, I hate how they judge Cloris against herself instead of against the other dancers, it's annoying me to no end. I take this show wayyyy to seriously.
