Dancing with the Stars 3, October 24: Double-Dance

Carrie Ann says that Jerry isn’t on the same level of the others, but he is a joy to watch. Len gives Jerry props for doing two dances this week. He also says that he doesn’t care if Jerry can’t dance as well as the other stars; he’s doing a great job. Bruno states that he doesn’t think the public is ready to eliminate Jerry yet. Jerry asks if he can just do some comedy bits between performances.

Backstage, Kym tells Samantha she is very proud of Jerry. Only this program could show us the vulnerable side of Jerry Springer. It’s amazing.

Carrie Ann and Bruno give the routine a seven. Len gives it an eight. Kym and Jerry have earned 22 points for their Latin performance.

The next couple to take the dance floor is Monique and Louis. For their second dance, they are doing the paso doble to “The Reflex.” Monique works her skirt throughout the performance. She also has some great footwork and beautiful posture. Again, Louis almost drops her. Really, I must be on his mind.

Len tells Louis that he put together two wonderful dances tonight and that Monique did a great job. Bruno says a lot; what it comes down to is that he feels Monique’s performance was wonderful. Carrie Ann says that Monique overpowered herself at the end of the dance, but she still did a great job.

All three judges give the performance a nine. Monique and Louis receive 27 points for their Latin dance.

Up now are Cheryl and Emmitt. They’re performing the mambo to a song that I recognize, but don’t know. It is performed in Spanish and my Spanish is a bit rusty. I can still order a beer in a Costa Rican bar though!

Emmitt is shaking body parts that I shouldn’t even think about; this is really his dance. The steps are crisp and the routine is feisty. He smiles the entire time and works it. I lost five pounds just watching him and Cheryl move. The crowd goes crazy over the dance.

Bruno says the beast has been unleashed. Carrie Ann calls Emmitt “Sir Shimmy.” She also states that everyone was pumped up by the dance. Len says that Emmitt’s performance was his favorite of the season.

Carrie Ann and Len give the couple a goober. Bruno gives it a nine; he is then promptly booed by the crowd. Cheryl and Emmitt say it is OK; they are happy with 29 points.

Karina and Mario are set to perform again. They’re doing the jive to “Shake a Tail Feather.” The dance is energetic and Mario’s footwork is incredible. The movements that Karina and Mario perform are also sharp. Mario does a great job keeping up with Karina.

Carrie Ann says that Karina and Mario were in sync throughout the performance. Len says that the dance had vitality; his only problem is with the way Mario holds Karina sometimes. Bruno agrees and explains that Mario’s arm occasionally flops around.

All three judges give the dance a nine. Karina and Mario have 27 points.

The last couple to perform tonight is Edyta and Joey. They are doing the mambo to “Mambo Number Five.” That makes sense to me. The routine is playful and sexy. There is a lot of hip action and sharp movements. Edyta and Joey maintain the quick pace throughout the routine.

Carrie Ann explains to Joey that he finally loosened up and she enjoyed his performance. Bruno gives Joey credit for his arm turns. Len reveals a lot by saying he’s impressed with Joey’s hips.

Carrie Ann and Len give Edyta and Joey a nine. Bruno gives them a goober. Joey is happy for the score; he and Edyta earned 28 points.

After tonight’s scores from the judges are added to the judges’ scores from last week, the standings are determined:

This was one of the best nights of dancing… at least in my opinion. Unfortunately, someone has to be eliminated tomorrow. I’m guessing that Kym and Jerry will be going home. Am I right or will their fans keep them around for at least another week? Come back tomorrow to find out!
