Dancing With The Stars Episode Recap
Some people Cook in the kitchen. Some people Cook on the dance floor - By Wolfie
ABC Dancing With The Stars: Cooking in the kitchen usually involves some heat, some spice and some flare with those flames. Cooking on the dance floor isn't much different. Give Rocco some pots and pans and get out of the way. Give Brooke a partner like Derek. a beat, some boards under her feet and stand way back. There's cookin' and then there's really cookin'!!

The dances tonight are : Samba and the Tango
The dancers tonight include Cloris (& Corky) and Rocco (& Karina) who got the lowest scores last week which they are going to carry over so poor Rocco has some ground to make up. My prediction is he hasn't got the fans to be able to do it. We will see tonight if he has the dance moves to do it.
Kicking things off tonight, Maurice & Cheryl do the Samba. The look is Disco with an Afro wig and bell bottoms. Looks pretty good to me, Len said fun to watch, but he needs to be refining everything. Bruno says they are Mr and Mrs Jacky Brown but also a little too loose, for being half way through the comp. Carrie Ann seemed to think they took a "step back".
6-7-7 = 20 (Carrie Anne, Len, Bruno) I missed their combined score. They neither the top or the bottom score tonight.
Cody & Julianne do the Tango - I think he's missed a step or two but I'm not sure. It's a severe dance. He looks very grown up which is good.
Judges say - Bruno, Cody you are starting to find your mojo. It was a proper tango without gimmicks all the way through. Carrie Ann saw some tripping on the dress but a proper tango and loved it. Len says dark, effective, with attitude and your best dance without a doubt.
7-8-8 = 23 or 44/60 combined score.
Toni & Alec do the Samba, which he tells her is a quick energy dance. She says that's great because her doctor says her heart is doing good. She was recently diagnosed with a heart condition so this is one of those things, it's good for her, but she needs to be careful and keep an eye on her condition and get her doctors approval as we go through the weeks. There IS no costume this time to cover any mistakes. But I think she did great. Last week was the elaborate Marie Antoinette wig and dress, lots of dress. This week it looks more like a bikini with some beads and two tassels on each side (the bottoms). It's as little costume as last week was a lot of costume.
Carrie Ann says work on shoulders but you move really well. Len says performance and choreography must balance. On the promenade you went wrong but then you got back in it. Bruno says tasty morsel of sugar and spice. He says the spins were great, and booty ... you can shake it like the best. One mistake yes but he really liked it. 7-7-8=22 44/60 combined
Cloris & Corky - she tells him she really wants to compete. He says we have to find the right mix of the entertainment and dance.
They dance the tango - she's being very smooth...she's doing well. yes she's got the acting and the intensity of it but she's doing a better "dance" than usual. I'm so pleased that she danced as if she took it seriously tonight.
Len - says if I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it, says she was raunchy and he loved it. Bruno says it was like watching a silent movie. Corky is making great faces during this. There's more clowning during the critiques. Carrie Ann owes her an apology. She says she under estimated Cloris. Says she thought Cloris could only do the "entertainment" but tonight she didn't, Cloris says "I did!", then Carrie Anne says you pushed yourself, and Cloris says "I didn't!" A lot of clowning and laughter during the critique, as always. 8-7-7=22 38/60 combined
Rocco and Karina who were at the bottom last week, would have gone home if not for Misty's injury, now he has a second chance. He wants to work really hard but Karina sees he isn't having fun. His Mom visits to see how he dances. She tells him "Shake-a what you mother give-a you" in the cutest Italian accent.
Rocco and Karina dancing the Samba. He's in one of those shirts with rows of ruffles on the sleeves, like Barry Manilow in a Cuban nightclub. Finally the sleeves come off. He is moving much better than before. He did MUCH better, I thought.
Judges - Bruno says all the ruffles can't disguise the fact that you haven't got a musical bone in your body. Carrie Ann tries to be nice but ... Len says it was good because he came out and had fun like his mum told him. awwww he can cook great in the kitchen I'm sure, but he just doesn't cook on the dance floor. 6-6-6=18 38/60 combined
Cloris vs Rocco is entirely up to the viewers votes so I seriously doubt he will be able to beat Cloris and her fans. We will know after the results show tomorrow.
Susan & Tony dancing the Tango. Get ready for the drama. They are watching her toes drag so I think maybe this is one of those "no lifting" things Carrie Ann is always watching. I did not see her toe leave the floor. She was Erica Kane, in true form tonight.
Carrie Ann says she did what she'd been waiting for. Len says it was your best dance so far. Bruno says there is a "hot broad" underneath that polished appearance. 8-8-8=24 45/60 combined
Last time Brooke & Derek got the first 10 of the season. As they prepare for their Samba they go out to party Brazilian style. They see some real Samba girls. She says she likes this dance.
She's pretty liquid in her body movement. Derek starts off with nerdy glasses and stiff, but she rips off the glasses and rips open his shirt and they dance! They really do cook on the dance floor. She also looks like she's having fun... uh oh... she can really wiggle... Len may think it's too raunchy.
Yepper, Len says - "you set a high standard so I expect a lot. It was slightly too erotic." Bruno argues and interrupts. Len goes back to his critique what he didn't like. Bruno is next and he goes into his "hot" stuff. Carrie Ann says good things, she may go all the way, with her athleticism as well as her dance moves. 9-8-9= 26 54/60 combined
Lance & Lacy after the straight traditional waltz last week that Len liked but Bruno and Carrie Ann thought lacked sparkle. These two are in the middle of the pack.
Tango, which begins a little strange but quickly goes into what looks good to e. intense and severe and they do not skimp on the moves and complexity in my opinion. Bruno - quirky exotic yet always a tango. You've got what it takes to get to the final Carrie Ann says she had expected a lot from him and he didn't shine but tonight he really did. Len is trying to give his critique ... he calls lance 'sir-dance a-lot' (I think he liked it!) 9-8-9=26 48/60 combined
Warren & Kym do the Samba. Kym takes him for some martial arts stuff. No big gimmicks for them. He is as always very light on his feet especially for such a big guy. Very mobile, agile and liquid. not awkward. He ends it with a flirty "come on" motion to Carrie Ann. She says this week it was lacking a little. Len says you make me smile, but agrees with Carrie Ann, too much gyrating with Kym. Bruno too says we are getting to a stage, you can do it but you didn't do it tonight. 8-7-7=22 47/60 combined.
New dances coming next week are salsa, jitter bug, west coast swing, and the hustle.
Tomorrow is the results show and we find out who's fans voted more tonight, Rocco or Cloris. I'm betting we bid Rocco farewell tomorrow and we get one more week with the Academy award winner Cloris Leachman before her time is up and we get down to brass tacks with the real dancing stars.
