TLOTD says Brooke took his breath away, and that she became the dance. You know, considering he's dance's Lord, I think he can actual make that happen, turn someone into a dance. Carrie Ann thought it wasn't Brooke's dance. She acknowledges that Brooke still had the musicality, but Carrie Ann could see the pain in Brooke's body. But it was certainly better than Susan Lucci! If Carrie Ann gives her lower than an 8, I'm going to hunt her down and punch Carrie Ann in the face. Bruno agrees that it wasn't Brooke's best dance, considering what they know she can do. Scores for Brooke: 8, 10, 8. TLOTD is just macking on the ladies tonight.

You are the Roger Rabbit. Marry me.

Up next is Cloris. Tom reminds us that Cloris' strong suit is not her dancing. She was entertaining enough last week to have avoided the bottom two! This week they're performing a "vintage" Cha Cha, whatever the hell that means. Cloris is screwing around in rehearsal and really just wants to take a nap. I hear ya, sister. Corky gets fed up, so he brings in George, who has known Cloris since 1953. He was her "once-upon-a-time husband" so I don't understand why Corky thought Cloris would listen to George any more than she does him.

I booked Young Frankenstein and paid my mortgage. Mission accomplished. Goodnight.

In performance, Halloween has come early and Corky is going as Dick Tracy. I would say that makes Cloris Breathless, but she can't match Madonna's moves. Cloris spends the first minute of the dance sitting down, before standing up and dancing a good beat behind Corky. The song is slow and the pair are lacking their usual entertainment value. This can't bode well for Cloris. Aw, if they had pulled off that lift/spin thing, it might have been awesome, but she set up for a move too early. Well she lived through it at least!

Noooo! I pressed the snoooooze!

Bruno says Cloris is the only person in the world who could "sell such nonsense as a Cha Cha Cha." Lol, Cloris is a horrible dancer. TLOTD calls her a legend and inspiration to older people. He's also under strict orders not to say anything bad about Cloris from his father, I guess, the King of the Dance. Carrie Ann is over Cloris and is all, "Yeah, you're old and funny and an inspiration blah, blah, blah." She's over it cause Carrie Ann totally had a girl-crush on Toni Braxton. Scores for Cloris: 5, 5, 5, for a total of 15. Oouch!

Last week Cody and Julianne earned their first 10 of the season and came in one point behind Brooke and Derek. They're determined to beat them one of these weeks, but it looks like it might not be this week as Julianne is struggling through some sort of illness. Cody's all worried about his hips in rehearsal, and while I applaud him for wanting to get the hip movements right, it's still funny to hear a boy ask if his butt is sticking out too much. Am I right, ladies? To get into character, Cody gets a spray tan and paints his hair black. He acts like the spray tan is something new and foreign, but you know he's a regular on Sunset Tan. Cody loves the Olly girls.

I'm sorry but I can't have your baby. You're like, ten.

Thankfully, neither the moustache, nor the ruffled sleeves make it into the final performance by Cody. He keeps his Latin intensity though. Whoa, and he works his hips. At least in the first run. And he's got the chest shake down too. He looks a little goofy at points, but hey, he's committing. I think he does better a the non-Latin, cartoony dances because he's Just. So. White.

Carrie Ann thought it was the most intense Samba she's ever seen. She likes that he's going for technique and thinks he's improving. Bruno disagrees and thought he was too intense - calling it a Paso. Bruno wanted more "Juberance." I want that to be a real word. TLOTD thinks Cody has everything it takes to be a great dancer, but didn't think tonight was his best dance. Backstage we find out that Julianne has to have her appendix removed after this show. Jesus. These pros are fricken workhorses. Don't they have a union? Can't she get an understudy? Oh yes, Edyta is going to come back to dance with Cody until Julianne can come back. Scores for Cody: 8, 8, 7, for a total of 23.

Ouch. Not too hard.

zbird:

Good recap, Krank, and I thank you for recapping this crappola. But hey, none of your links worked for me. Not one. Not even the one to a TVGasm area about Smiley Face. Are you just messin' with me?

Deborah Jaqua:

Did anyone notice that beside Anna Faris in that photo are Jeff Lewis and Jenny from "Flipping Out"?

chooch850:

I am a co-Looch hater!!! She is just awful. She wandered around that stage in the hip-hop routine, totally clueless, but they all did didn't they. Definitely not a good choice for the group dance. Those "PussyCat Dolls" looked like they were taking a dump on stage. Is that a new move?
I enjoyed Cloris' outrageous behavior as much as everyone else, but I'm glad she's finally gone. I was afraid we'd see her die on LIVE TV.

Loved the recap & the pics!

bbjunkie:

The reason Susan Lucci is still around is the same reason Kelly Monaco won in season 1. She is a huge star for ABC daytime. I would guess this week or next will be her final week. There was probably some deal made with "The Powers That Be" she had to stick around at least until the 2-dance-a-week portion. I am sure she is a nice lady and great soap star but she doesn't bring much to the dance floor. At least Cloris was entertaining.

I am enjoying the recaps this seaason-thanks.

wintersux:

The problem with Lucci is that she has NO RHYTHM!!!

jenday23:

Couple of things.
When Useless asked Cody how he felt about dancing with Edyta, it was really sweet because you could tell he was really worried about Julianne. Then Useless totally cut him off! USELESS!

The Looch completely wandered around the stage aimlessly during the "hip hop" routine. It was ridiculous!

I think Brooke just didn't want to injur herself. That is my two cents! Holla!

aujew:

DYING. esp. the results recaps and screengrabs. hahahahahaha "i am sam" and "LOL" pretty much had me laughing so hard i got dirty looks for having fun on company time. that and for leaving a puddle in my chair. that tends to be frowned upon.

you guys are hee-larious. xoxox

kelsey:

Cody worrying about Julianne was super cute and then Useless ruined it.

I really, really don't like Susan Lucci. But that's only because I think she is unreasonably creepy...maybe that's just me.

And I will proudly admit that I was/still am an Nsync/Chris Kirkpatrick fan. Not that I have any idea why, I just am.
