Abandon Hope! J.R. Martinez Is in It to Win It.

Hi Everyone, it's time for “Dancing With The Stars.”
This week, the team of contestants had to dance either the Jive or the Quick Step, which are both pretty fast moving dances. Definitely hoping they had the foot work for these moves.
The overall fashion look for the dancers was good. They did a lot of theme dressing. Kristin Cavallari had a Marilyn Monroesque look and J.R. Martinez was ’40s-inspired with striped pants and suspenders.
The dancing was okay all the way around—even the person I want gone: Elisabetta Canalis (the one we only know because she dated George Clooney. Celebrity? Hmmm.) She did the quick step. Not too bad. But her attitude in rehearsal? What was that about? I still want her gone.
Rob Kardashian—(for those not in the know, he's Kim Kardashian’s brother)—was okay. Just like Carrie Ann Inaba said, he does have a little more rhythm than his sister. But, they can let him go. Momma’s still watching that percentage!
CarsonKressley, poor thing, is just a little uncoordinated. But he makes youlaugh. Len Goodman pointed it out with the best line of the night: If heheld his knife and fork the way Carson held his partner AnnaTrebunskaya in that dance, he would starve to death!

But Carson is not alone. He has a partner in crime, David Arquette, who couldn’t dance his way out of a paper bag. But he’s entertaining and his wife, Courtney Cox, was there for support, as usual. (What’s up with that? Reconciliation?)
Chaz Bono had a difficult time this week. Bad knees. His dance was just okay. I think a lot of his problem is there’s too much pressure on the knees. (You know what I mean). Still no Cher sighting.
Thebig scandal of the night occurred with our favorite prosecutor, NancyGrace. Her dance was good—but only because they never broke the formaldance hold. The big story was Nancy’s slight wardrobe malfunction,although only the people on the East Coast saw it. That’s what canhappen when you wear a slip dress…it slips.

Thebest dances of the evening belonged to Ricki Lake. Her Jive was reallygood. She kept up with her partner Derek Hough. And, as Bruno said, sheeven got to sit on him.

Chynna Phillips Jive was also very entertaining. And her mama, Michelle Phillips, was there to cheer her on.

But J.R. Martinez—WOW!, —you all better look out for him. The brother's Jive was HOT! His partner, the fierce Karina Smirnoff, choreographed a difficult routine—a little bit on the Lindy Hop side, but still fierce. He could be the one who goes all the way. We'll see.
Oh, Ms. Brooke Burke with that tired question, “How do you feel about your scores?” Can you say, annoying?
I'm not quite sure who's going to be eliminated tonight. You know it all depends on the fans. Maybe Hope Solo? But you never know, an upset can always happen.
Keep on dancing!
