Brandon Mychal Smith & Keauna McLaughlin
LAURIEANN: They did amazing!
JOHNNY: A great solid first effort.
SCORES: TECHNICAL: 6-5-5=16 out of 30. ARTISTIC: 7-7-6=20 out of 30. TOTAL 36 out of 60.
Sean Young & Denis Petukhov are up next. She is not happy with the performance. No F words are allowed. Her confidence is shifting and she doesn’t know why.
Their performance reminds me of Monica Seles and Jonathan Roberts’s foxtrot from season 6 of DWTS. (Which for the record, I liked) Very innocent and basic, although I admit, I do love the lifts–they are very impressive. I like their connection and the sweetness.
JOHNNY: He likes the elegance and thought it was good for her skill level. He gives her some pointers to improve.
LAURIEANN: She thinks she is amazing and calls parts of it effortless and giving.
DICK: He compliments her feet and legs but wants her to let it go–take off her girdle and let it fly.
SCORES: TECHNICAL: 6-5-5=16 out of 30. ARTISTIC: 7-5-6=18 out of 30 and 34 out of 60.
Jonny Moseley & Brooke Castile perform next. They are so cute already. He thinks it is awkward at first and is frustrated, but she tells him relax, he just got here! She tells him think the opposite of what he does skiing.
The performance has a rock and roll feel to it and is instantly my favorite performance of the night so far. They have good technique and can really sell a performance. VERY NICE!
LAURIEANN: Dynamic amazing, but wants more funk in his trunk.
DICK: He knows he will do well, but wants him to work on his posture.
JOHNNY: He loves it!
SCORES: TECHNICAL triple 7s for 21 out of 30. ARTISTIC: 6-6-7=19 out of 30. TOTAL: 40 out of 60.
Just as an aside, I feel like I’m watching the Bizzaro version of DWTS!
Johnny Wier performs to Lady Gaga’s Poker Face. I honestly have no words for it.
Rebecca Budig & Fred Palascak perform next. She is excited because this is a dream come true for her. She used to play pairs with her sisters as a little girl. She is scared, but willing to face her fears.
Well, hello frontrunner! This was incredible. Nice lines, great posture and technique is the best of the night so far.
DICK: He compliments her posture and legs, but gives her some pointers on where to improve. He thinks it’s elegant.
JOHNNY: He loved it too.
LAURIEANN: She wants her to use the dancer in her.
SCORES: TECHNICAL: 7-7-7=21 out of 30. ARTISTIC: 8-8-8=24 out of 30. TOTAL: 45 out of 60.
Vince Neil & Jennifer Wester perform next and seem to hit it off right away. He is having problems with his balance. His biggest fear is disappointing Jen. He says performing in the past didn’t faze him, but this terrifies him.
This is another rock and roll themed performance. He can certainly sell the performance, and he is really trying. He seems to be one of the more dedicated performers on the show. I have to say, what he doesn’t have in technique, he makes up for in heart.
JOHNNY: He gives him credit, but wants him to stop following his partner around as much.
LAURIEANN: She tells him to focus on a spot to keep balance but loved his musicality.
DICK: He gives him credit as well, but wants him to be fearless.
SCORES: TECHNIQUE: 6-4-4=14 out of 60. ARTISTIC: 6-4-4=14 out of 30 and 28 out of 60.
BACHELOR PREVIEW! Explosions, crying, making out, adventure000is it wrong I am looking forward to this?
Bethenny Frankel & Ethan Burgess are the final couple to skate tonight. She wants to make it work, although she thinks it may be the death of her. This is for all the moms who should go for it. They seem to be really dedicated to this and really hit it off.
Very impressive first lift. The performance is very good and very basic, she definitely has potential to go far in this competition.
LAURIEANN: She thinks it was fantastic, but gives her some pointers to improve.
DICK: He likes her movements but wants less static in her moves.
JOHNNY: He wants her to give it her all.
SCORES: TECHNICAL: 5-5-5=15 out of 30. ARTISTIC: 5-4-5=14 out of 30 and 29 out of 60.

i’m kinda pulling for bristol, is that wrong?
death threats for a dancing show? have americans lost it?!!!!!
KKKKKKYYYYYYYYYLLLLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Hopefully the judges will know what scores are needed to ensure that Bristol does NOT win!
It’s not about “most improved,” it’s about the best dancer, and Bristol is NOT! Jennifer is certainly the best dancer, and it would have been great to see a showdown between Jennifer and Brandy, the two best dancers all season.
It also would have been cool to be able to vote for somebody. Whoever jammed the phone lines, shame on you. We’ve enjoyed the season and were unable to vote.
Bristol is there for all the wrong reasons, political ones. If she wins I am done with the show, I want to watch a dance competition and she can’t dance, at least not well enough to be in the top three.
Kyle, of course. Most enertaining!
I wonder how the others would have done if they had received death threats and constant media vitriol as Bristol Palin had to endure. If Bristol does not win the Mirrored Ball, she is still the winner for surviving to the end with dignity, tenacity and spirit.
Note to you left-wing haters: Had you not bullied Palin she would not have garnered popular support, and would not have made the finals. SOw the wind, reap the storm. For you, I pray Palin wins it all.
It is not about the best dancer. Tom has always said “vote for your favorite”. Kyle is my favorite. He’s improved the most, worked hard and really makes the effort to entertain. No drama, no complaining. Jennifer’s great, but is pretty much the same as when she started. Bristol’s improved a lot, but not much energy in her dancing…redemption dance should not have been scored the same as Kyle’s.
This season is nauseating and I wish I could projectile on Len for his scoring. He doesn’t deserve to be a judge. This show is a joke and a half. The sob story Jen Gray is dancing for Patrick– so lets all overscore her. That freestyle of Jennifer’s was sad and even critics are saying the same. Kyle and Lacey nailed the freestyle and have earned the trophy. We don’t need the judges to give Jennifer a perfect 30 for her dances to give her an edge. They need to give them the same scores and let the audience decide the final vote. But I’ve never seen so many problems in voting– how conventient ABC… do the right thing and crown the deserving winner!
Seriously are some of you people posting from an insane asylum? It is a freaking dance show and the prize is a flipping plastic ball. Get a grip. Bristol did not kill anyone. She only got support because frankly she is not a professional and she improved greatly. I wanted Kyle to win but if Bristol win I think it will be great so all the lunatics can have a collective heart attack. geezzzzzzzzzzzz This girl is a NINETEEN year old. People wanting her killed because she made it further in a dumb dance show than they wanted is ASININE. Get a life or get laid whatever comes first. Some of you are clearly needing something.
