Up next: Warren and Kym. Last week he got his first 10 for his tango. This week they finally clarify why Warren never gets a rehearsal field trip - cause he's too busy with his sports commentating jobs that take place all over the country. Kym comes with him on one trip and they have a cute bit where she teaches him the jitterbug during commercial breaks. They get back in the studio and Warren is frustrated and tired. There's some blurred out swearing, but, you know, he pulls it together.

In performance, they're performing their Mambo first. Warren's got the shimmying and shaking down. I'm just distracted by the fact that they're dancing to "Tequila" cause it makes me think of Pee-Wee Herman. It looks like he's actually breaking her in half at one point, but the rest of their dance goes pretty smoothly.

Every time a dancer breaks her back and angel earns his wings.

Carrie Ann acknowledges that he knows how to get the audience on his side, but now that it's the semi-finals, she wants to see more content in the dance. I guess more technical difficulty? Len says Warren epitomizes "Do what you know." He appreciates the personality Warren brings every week. Bruno thinks Warren has "such a super-size sense of fun" that he gets away with murdering the technique. Bruno tells him he has to sort out the feet in the final. Scores for Warren: 8, 8, 8, for a total of 24. Cody looks hella-pissed in the background over those scores.

Up last tonight: Lance and Lacey. While the judges were much kinder in their comments (especially since they wore shoes in both routines), they still ended up in third on the leaderboard. They will be doing the Jitterbug and the Mambo. Lance says the Jitterbug reminds him of WWII and his grandfather. Of course, that means his grandfather is coming to rehearsal. This is his first time in LA since WWII. Gramps thinks Len will like it 'cause they're wearing their shoes. That's what I keep saying!

Why do old people wear their pants up to their moobs? Discuss.

We'll have to wait and see their Jitterbug because first up is their Mambo. As crazy as the fabric hanging off her ass is, this is possibly the least offensive outfit Lacey has worn all season. She almost looks, dare I say it? Classy? No. Not classy, but almost respectable. The dance is pretty good too. I don't see any blatant missteps and their unison bits are very nice. They make a great team. As insane as Lacey can be sometimes, the girl can dance. The audience goes wild and even the judges look impressed.

Today's sniff test was brought to you by the Association of Gay Almost Astronauts.

Len thinks that was the best dance so far tonight. Bruno thinks this was semifinal material. Carrie Ann calls the routine a showstopper and thinks it was the best of the night and their best of the season. Scores for Lance: 10, 9, 9, for a total of 28. They are thrilled with their first 10 of the season.

Genuinely happy eyebrows.

This week Len gave a master class to the remaining teams. First he goes to Lance. He wants to fix Lance's pigeon-toe problem. Then he goes on to fix Cody's hip roll problem. I have to say, it's nice to see Len put his money where his mouth is. Len wants to get Brooke's legs straight. Lastly, Warren. Len wants to fix his flat feet. Then Len gets tips on how to replicate Warren's TD victory dance and its hilarious and adorable. Len is actually personable in rehearsal. Kinda makes me like him.

Let this be a lesson to us all. Moisturize while there's still time.

Ok and random ballroom filler of a couple of pros showing us how it's done. In case you were wondering just how inadequate the stars really are.

And following that show of Salsa prowess are Brooke Burke and Derek. Brooke's outfit is made entirely out of gold fringe and it's bothering me. I mean FRINGE PANTS?? NO! Her legs are straighter at points this week, but I think the judges comments from before rattled her a little because she seems kind of timid in the tricky parts. Though yes, she is certainly showing the most technical dexterity of any of the "stars."

Poor Fozzie Bear gave his life for those pants.
