Dancing with the Stars 3, October 4: Drop It Like It’s Hot

It’s now time for an update on Tysonia and the Slim-Fast Dance Challenge. Tonight she’s doing a samba with her professional partner Christian. She is going to wear a size eight dress after starting in a size 12. She’s shaking her butt and having a great time. She is certainly an inspiration. However, at this moment, I’m not quite that moved to leave my comfortable couch, so I’ll samba later.

Last season’s champion Drew Lachey is in the audience with his wife Lea. They are here to support Nick Lachey as he entertains us with “I Can’t Hate You Anymore.” While Nick sings, Tony dances with Elena Grinenko, who was eliminated along with her celebrity partner Tucker Carlson during week one of the competition.

We now find out a little bit about what happens behind the scenes. Hair and make-up are discussed, as is the fact that the male dancers wear shirts that are attached to underpants. Interesting. We’re told that everyone basically has a fake tan. Vivica says they are all competing with George from last season for the best tan. Monique says that she was sucked in and got a spray tan, too… and she’s a black girl! Just say no to spray tans no matter what your creed, race, gender, or sexual preference is. Just say no.

Next, two more couples are about to learn that they are returning next week. Cheryl and Emmitt are moving on. Willa and Maksim will join them.

The judges discuss the partnerships and connections that each celebrity and professional dancer have. Len says that Nick and Vivica are a match made in heaven. Carrie Ann tells us that Louis is a taskmaster. They basically agree that no matter what happens, each duo has to stay united.

Which other couples are safe? Monique and Louis aren’t! What the *&^%$? I can’t believe this. Thankfully, Edyta and Joey are safe; they deserve to be. Sara and Tony are also moving on. You have to be kidding me. Tony curses and is beeped out. Whoops! Vivica and Nick are in the bottom two with Monique and Louis. This stinks. This really stinks. Neither couple that is in trouble should be. I’m going to spend the commercial break petting Yoko. I need to calm down.

After what seems like an eternity, we’re back from the break. We learn that the couple that has been eliminated is Vivica and Nick. Vivica says that they are fine. I love her attitude, but this still stinks. No, wait. This sucks. I’m glad that Monique and Louis are staying (after all, he is my new best friend), but Vivica and Nick did not have the worst performance this week. I hope I didn’t put a curse on the couple when I said that I was enjoying Nick’s time on the show.

Vivica tells everyone to drop it like it’s hot. When asked what she’s taking away from the competition, she says, “Nick.” He has become her new friend. The other dancers look positively sick about the elimination.

There it is: Vivica and Nick’s time on the show has come to an end. However, the excitement and pressure continue to build for our remaining couples. They’ll return next Tuesday to dazzle us, and once again, someone will be eliminated on Wednesday.
