Dancing With the Stars this evening…anyone planning to watch?  If so, come hang out with APOOO this evening where we will be discussing who’s doing what, who looks going and who needs to go home this week.  LOL.  Hope you can join us at 8PM EST.  Cyber drinks and appetizers will be served.  Also tomorrow night DWTS will be doing a Michael Jackson Tribute.

In the meantime, if you’re watching DWTS this season, which dancers are you cheering for?  Can I get a what-what for Mya?  Or maybe you’re partial to Donny Osmond?  Or is it someone else?  Come on speak up and let me know who you’re routing for.  Anyone care to place a friendly wager on who’s going home this week…lol.  Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

First up-Alec and Natalie dancing the Paso Dobly to American Women.  Starting out Natlalie looks very stiff to me…she’s not very fluid…and very robotic…maybe it’s the song.  So…Lyn said she’s a very technical dancer but she needs to get a bit more chemistry with her partner and she needs more aggressiveness.  Bruno said she needs to bring more to it.  CarrieAnne said that she needs to remember to go out past her body. American Woman really wasn’t a good tune to dance to.   Predicted Score:  24; Actual Score:22.

Aaron Carter and Karina are doing the Argentine Tango this night; he’s got to overcome being in the bottom two last week.  Karina looks like she’s doing a lot of leading this week.  Oksy so what did the judges say…oh was that LaToya Jackson?  Bruno said he switched on the managtism; CarrieAnne said it excellent, he was grounded, dramatic and centered.  Lyn said the last couple of weeks he was like a little boy lost in the wilderness–this week ‘you’ve come back to me.’…LOL hmmm Lyn liked his performance this week.  Predicted Score:  27; Actual Score:  24.

Michael and Anna…gosh they dogged him last week.  Will he bring it this week with the Paso Dobly?  I don’t know I’m just not feeling the connection with him and Anna could that be part of the problem?  Well Michael gave a performance tonight.  CarrieAnne said favorite dance so far FINALLY.  Lyn said your posture was good and he was expressive. Bruno said keep that nickel in your ‘butt’ because it’s working for you.  Predicted Score:  23: Actual Score: 21.  What they only gave him 21?!?!

Mya and Dmitrywill perform the Argentine Tango tonight.  Mya reminds me of my assistant Brandi…there’s a slight resemblance.  I don’t care what Lyn says I’m just biased toward Mya…I love her. ;)   Great performance.  Lyn said he liked their dance on the small stage.  Bruno said it was precise with sophistication…but she needs to hold her emotional connection.  CarrieAnne said she moved so well but was slightly lacking was the emotion…said the reason she was distance was lacking.  Predicted Score:  24; Actual Score: 27 AWESOME…and very surprising given their critique.

Mark and Lacey doing the Paso Dobly–Mark says he’s still in the middle of the pack…he’s need to know what to do to get out front.  Very dramatic intro.  Bruno said Mark is turning into a pistol, red devil who’s going to sprout horns.  CarrieAnne said tonight he’s in his power…very exciting…nice to see.  Lyn said he had passion, performance and power.  Predicted Score:  25; Actual Score: 26.  His highest score so far.

Donnie and Kym dancing the Argentine Tango.  CarrieAnne said the Argentine Tango loves him…he was so darn sexy!  Lyn loved the intensity of the dance…it was truly his best dance.  Bruno said it’s Bonanza time.  Bruno was truly over the edge…I don’t even know what he said…lol.  Predicted Score:  27; Actual Score:  29.  WOW…I can’t believe it either.

Louie and Chelsie doing the Paso Doubly.  Cute performance; just hard for me to take him serious…lol.  Bruno says he needs to start to dance and not just step through.  CarrieAnne said she really likes the way he partners her.  Missed what Lyn said.  Actual Score: 22; their best score yet…Lyn even gave them an 8.

Melissa and Mark dancing the Argentine Tango.  Can she prove she’s not a one-week wonder?  Hmmm I’m not feeling this dance with her…I don’;t take away sexy.  Bruno said she lost her steps quite a few times and she looked more grumpy than sexy.  CarrieAnne disagreed and said the one thing she definitely nailed was her character; but she had a few stumbles.  Lyn said it did lack a little bit of the seduction but what he liked was the music and overall she did very, very well…hmmm were they watching the same dance I was watching.  I tend to side with Bruno.  Predicted Score:  24; but I think it should be lower.  Actual Score:  23.

Kelly and Louis dancing the Paso Doubly to Crazy Train by one of her dad’s song.  Should be interesting.  She started off looking out of sync and offbeat.  She doesn’t appear to be keeping up with him.  CarrieAnne said she has to stay in the intensity.  Lyn said that she’s got to learn the routine, get into the character of the dance but really good.  Bruno said that she’s on it when she’s on it…but she has to stay on it.  Predicted Score:  22; Actual Score:  24.  WTF?!!

Derrick’s out sick this week; his replacement is Maks with Joanne. Missed their performance; I’m getting tired…lol.  Although I guess she stumbled toward the end of the dance. Actual Score: 24.  They shock the heck out of me how generous they are with some dancers and how harsh they are with others.

Next up is the group dance; they will be doing the Hustle…loved that dance when it was out 30 years ago.  Remember hustling my butt off with a friend…we were having a good ole time…and then something happen…he let go of my hand and I felt myself falling back into a crowd…it was awful and embarrassing…and to this day I still remember it as tho’ it was only yesterday lol.  My friend…well I still love him.  The Hustle hmmm…was this a dance they were doing? LOL.

  1. I am biased too… M’ya and Dmitry should have received 10s across the board, or at least two 10s and one 9? Michael Irvin did better this week, I was scared of him! LOL!

  2. I can’t wait until the group dance… looking forward to that, and the tribute to Michael Jackson.

  3. Go Donnie and Kym! Love that dress… wish I could wear that! LOL!!! Score of 29!!!

  4. Hey Sharel…feeling you regarding Michael Irvin…and I hear you about wearing Kym’s dres…hehe.

  5. Just tuned in … I liked the Argentine tango….I missed Mya?

  6. Hey Phyllis…Mya was really good she did a good job with the Argentine Tango. Now how the hell they just gave Kelly Osborne all eights/total of 24 is mindboggling to me!

  7. U an watching, but multitasking. For some reason I really like Kelly Obsorne. I am hoping she gets far. I know she is not going to win, but maybe in in the quarterfinals.

  8. From what I’ve seen, they seem to favor Kelly O….why I don’t know. Are they afraid that a rejection/low vote will send her back to using and rehab?

  9. @ Jeanette…oh you might be on to something there…I forgot she was an addict…how I don’t know. @ Jnette..Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

  10. They are funny practicing the Hustle; 30 years ago I could do it better than what any of them have shown thus far…hehe.

  11. No they didn’t put a big arze afro on Michael Irwin!

  12. Kelly was horrible.

  13. Is Aaron Carter gay?

  14. Donny should be in his element with the 70′s…

  15. Michael looked good doing the Hustle.

  16. They need to vote Michael off and end the misery…

  17. Yeah but there’s a couple of others who can go before him…starting with Kelly.
