Dancing With The Stars Recap… Who Do You Think Is Going Home?

I’m still ranting and raving, fuming and moaning about Nicole Scherzinger being invited to dance on the show.  Even with her little emotional break down last night and her open invitation for us all to come to rehearsal so that we may witness how hard this is for her, I still can’t buy into the fact that she wasn’t a dancer to begin with.  Naturally, someone with dance ability is going to be able to pick up new styles easier than somebody with little or no dance training.  It makes me wonder who they will invite on next?  Brittney Spears?  After all, she’s had no “ball room” dance training.  It’s ridiculous that Nocole’s even on the show to begin with.  Let’s get back to the regular famous people who are not in the music industry where dancing is involved.  PLEASE!

Needless to say, she and Derek scored a perfect 30 for their 50′s rendition of a Paso Doble and did a marvelous Fox Trot.  I did not look forward to either dance.  Frankly, it was like watching when the pros dance when they have the guest stars sing.  I’m not excited for their performances at all.

"Lucy?" "Yes, Ricky?" "Are we dancing in sync?" "Yes, Ricky!"

Evan, however, is my little sweetheart.  I really like watching his rehearsal video.  He is quirky in his own way and I really like that about him.  Is it just me, or does he seem to have a crush on Anna?  Anna is married to DWTS Alum Jonathan Roberts, who is not dancing this season.   It just seems like she is his little sweetheart and he made this comment last night that he really enjoyed dancing with Anna, especially the romantic dances.  Hmmm…

I have no doubt that Anna is happily married to Jonathan, but it’s cute to see Evan and Anna.  This is the first season that she’s really gotten past the first 2 or 3 dances because she’s never been paired up with a strong partner.  I think that these two have a solid chance at the semi-finals and I always look forward to what they do.  I loved their waltz, but found their futuristic Cha-Cha-Cha a tad funk-kay! 

Omi-Arigato Mr. Roboto... COME ON... Come On!

"Oh, Anna... this is so romantic..."

Niecy, Niecy, Niecy… you are my girl.  But, I think it’s time that you go.  I know that you’re having fun.  I realize that you are working harder than most.  However, I just think that the competition just has you beat, Babe!  It’s between you and Ocho… Let’s just say that the Paso Doble didn’t help much, Girl.  Niecy’s Vienese Waltz, however was quite lovely.

Bruno accused Niecy of waxing the floor with her dress in this spin...

At least it wasn't as bad as Kate Gosselin's Paso Doble to Paparazzi!

Moving onto my favorite couple, Erin and Max… You know, I must say that every season I hate Max with a firey passion.  I never want his team to win.  But, there is something about him with Erin that I just adore.  It’s like she brings out the inner teddy-bear in him.  I like their dynamic.  Their Argentine Tango was OUTSTANDING!   She was terrified of the leap that he wanted her to do, but in the performance, she did it.  I was really proud of her.  I didn’t like their 80′s Rumba so much, but their Tango was so outstanding that I just had warm fuzzies for them all night.  They deserve to go to the semi-finals!

A gorgeous pose at the beginning of their outstanding Argentine Tango!

Overcoming her fears, she lands it perfectly!

"Look deep into my eyes...." "Whatever you say, Cheryl, Baby..."

"I'm pimpin' it like Dennis Rodman!"

OK… so, who do you like?  Who’s going home tonight?
