J.R. Martinez took to the dance floor with his professional dance partner, Karina Smirnoff, to do the Samba, fourth. They danced to Gloria Estefan’s Conga. They did a great job and looked like they had a blast!

I really like J.R. and I think he’s going to go far in the competition. Don’t you?

Bruno Tonioli said, “Talk about hip action!” He said he had so much fire down below that it was like a volcano.

Dancing last on last night’s performance episode of Dancing With The Stars was Iraq war veteran and actor J.R. Martinez and his professional dance partner, Karina Smirnoff, doing the Foxtrot to the theme from The Pink Panther. In case you’ve missed the show, you can check out our official recap here.

As always, J.R. put on a great performance. This dance was super cute and well choreographed.

Iraq war veteran J.R. Martinez and his professional dance partner Karina Smirnoff danced an emotional Rumba on last night’s episode of Dancing With The Stars. In case you’ve missed the show, you can read our official recap here.

J.R. gave such an amazing performance, it was very touching and emotional. He dedicated the dance to the men and women who don’t make it home. Sad!

The video:

Before the judge’s commentary, J.R. was tearing up. Carrie Ann Inaba was also tearing up by the touching dance. She said that he did something extraordinary with the dance.

J.R. Martinez and his professional dance partner, Karina Smirnoff, took the stage last on last night’s episode of Dancing With The Stars and performed their Jive.

From our recap last night:

This is the best dance of the night. It’s cute and they’re in step with each other all of the way. They’re having a blast, too. Well done. Bruno Tonioli said he was charismatic, athletic and had a feel for the music. Carrie Ann Inaba said it was great, but there was a lift, so she has to take off a point.

Check out the video:

Len Goodman said it was a great dance, but it wasn’t a Jive.

Judge’s Scores:

Carrie Ann: 7
Len: 7
Bruno: 8
Total: 22/30

What did you think of his performance? Were they too hard on him? We liked J.R.’s dance and his enthusiasm and personality. What about you? Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think!

Last night’s Dancing With The Stars saw the elimination of professional dancer Karina Smirnoff and her partner Ralph Macchio. Upon our examination of the comments from our recap on the show, some thought it was unfair to oust the actor from the Semi-Finals show.

On Monday night’s show, Ralph and Karina performed the Argentine Tango first, scoring them a total of 25 points. For their second dance, they scored 23 points for their Salsa, which wasn’t as bad as the judges made it out to be. Bruno Tonioli even insulted Karina’s choice of attire, with a terrible comment. Afterward, they were pitted against Hines Ward and Kym Johnson for the first round of the newly implemented “Winner Takes All Cha Cha”.

Our friends at CelebDirtyLaundry made the suggestion that perhaps the judges were trying to rig the competition. We were thrown off by the addition of the “Winner Takes All Cha Cha”, considering that it put Chelsea over fan favorite Ralph with that extra fifteen points.

So, since the voting from the public didn’t come into play on Monday night’s show, do you think that the judges had their favorite to be in the finals? Do you think it was right of them to put Ralph up against Hines? Or would it have been more fair if Ralph went up against Kirstie? Let us know your thoughts!

Take our poll: Was the right couple eliminated on Tuesday night’s results show?

Last night’s semi-finals performances left us guessing who would be eliminated on tonight’s Dancing With The Stars results show!

A lot happened in last night’s show, but we’ll give you the quick low-down (Read our full recap here). Kym Johnson injured herself when partner Hines Ward dropped her on her neck. She still performed and they received excellent scores. Karina Smirnoff shook her butt with partner Ralph Macchio, but it was judge Bruno Tonioli’s rude comment that really sent people into shock.

Overall, Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas had the best scores of the evening and Ralph and Karina were left at the bottom of the leaderboard. Who’s going to be eliminated in tonight’s show? Stay tuned as we cover the semi-finals LIVE! (continue reading…)

If you were watching Dancing With The Stars last night, then you couldn’t help but notice Karina Smirnoff and Ralph Macchio’s Salsa. She wore a catsuit for the performance and he was said to be sporting some butt pads. They scored 23 total points for the dance, out of 30. Still, the dance wasn’t THAT bad!

Last night, we reported during the show that Bruno made a rude comment to Karina, that happened to be censored during the show. Now, we know exactly what he said to her! Check out all of the saucy details after the jump! (continue reading…)

It’s elimination night on Dancing With The Stars and it’s really anyone’s game at this point!

Len asked to see Team Chelsea’s Cha Cha again and it’s still way better than the other team’s dance. This show really all boils down to the last three minutes, which the eliminated party is revealed. In the meantime, it’s really nothing more than just a ton of fluff.

Safe:

Hines Ward & Kym Johnson
Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff
Romeo & Chelsie Hightower
Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas

Stay tuned for the rest of the scoop on who’s getting the boot from the show! Who are you rooting for???

Keep checking back as we update this space!

So who got eliminated on tonight’s show??? KENDRA WILKINSON & LOUIS VAN AMSTEL!

Last week, Chris Jericho was given the axe on Dancing With The Stars and the show is winding down little by little until we have a Mirrorball trophy winner. This week, the dancers are divided into two separate teams, Pink and Black and are led by dancing champions. (continue reading…)
