Dancing with the Stars 4, April 30: Two-Stepping

Carrie Ann says that there wasn’t enough passion in the routine, but she does feel that John moves better than any of the older dancers who have been on the show. Len refers to the dance as John’s best. Bruno agrees with Len and says that John’s footwork has improved.

Carrie Ann and Bruno award the dance with a seven, while Len gives it an eight. For their second dance, Edyta and John have 22 points. Their final score is 45 points.

Up next are Julianne and Apolo. They are dancing the mambo, but again I miss the song. The dance involves a lot of hip action and butt shaking. This is another routine that is nicely choreographed by Julianne; it is sexy and playful.

Len again calls the performance good, but not great. He also nitpicks on some of Apolo’s moves. Bruno reminds him that Apolo is not a dancer and yet he’s doing a terrific job. Carrie Ann says that Apolo was a little off, but that the dance was fantastic. Bruno yells at her.

Carrie Ann and Len give the dance a nine while Bruno gives it a goober. Julianne and Apolo receive 28 points for their Latin dance. They have 54 points after two dances.

Cheryl and Ian are ready to dance their second routine. They are doing the mambo to… what is wrong with me? I missed the song again. The dances are so enjoyable tonight that I am getting into them and not paying attention to the songs. In any case, Ian seems to have a lot of fun with the dance; he finally lets loose, smiles, and gets into the performance. The dance involves a lot of hip action and Ian isn’t shy about shaking what he has.

Bruno says that Ian used Cheryl in the dance for the first time. Carrie Ann appreciates the attitude shift. Len tells Cheryl and Ian that their chemistry finally came out.

Each judge gives the dance a nine; Cheryl and Ian earn 27 points and 54 points overall.

Up now are Karina and Billy Ray. They’re performing the samba to “Living in America.” After all these weeks, Billy Ray still appears to be counting and looking to Karina for constant guidance. Regardless, he thrusts his hips a lot; I giggle.

Carrie Ann congratulates Billy Ray on his determination. Len says that the samba was better than the waltz. He also comments on Billy Ray’s shoes and asks if he got them from Master P. Bruno tells Billy Ray that he has never seen anything like Billy Ray’s dancing… yet he can’t stop watching.

All three of the judges give the couple seven points for a total of 21 points for the samba. They have 38 points overall.

The last performance tonight is from Kym and Joey. They are dancing the jive to… oops, I did it again. No, that’s not the song; I just missed it again. The routine is energetic and well done. Again, Joey goes above and beyond what some of the others can do, but I’m not impressed. Perhaps I’m just cranky.

Len tells Joey that the dance had rhythm and control, and was in sync. Ha! Bruno says that Joey proved what he is capable of. Carrie Ann tells Joey that the dance was sharp.

Each judge gives Kym and Joey a goober for the second triple goober of the evening. Did you follow that?

After a recap of the performances, Tom and Samantha review the standings:

Tomorrow night, another couple will leave the competition. At this point, I have no idea who it could be. I’ll go with Karina and Billy Ray just because it’s my recap and I can do these kinds of things. Also, Meatloaf and Jerry Rice will be appearing. I can’t wait. Won’t you join me? Please!
