On Monday night’s performance episode of “Dancing With The Stars”, there was a bit of a dancing faux pas. Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins’ time on the show might be coming to an end as a result of the slip. On top of that, the Salsa she performed looked as if it left her in a great deal of pain. In case you’ve missed the performance show, you can read our full recap here.

Katherine and partner Mark Ballas performed second on the show when they garnered 29 total points for their Quickstep. Bruno Tonioli said that the dance had “razzle dazzle” and an amazing technique.

Len Goodman added that she can dance and it was a “fabulous number”.

For the second round of the competition, they performed their doomed Salsa. It was a good dance, for all intents and purposes. Near the end of the dance, the duo attempting a difficult move, which left Katherine injured.

Judge’s commentary:

Len said it’s a classic Rumba. They didn’t go down the raunchy route. She stayed on time and it had style and elegance. Bruno said she’s the unobtainable object of desire. He likes it a bit raunchier to get his juices going. It was superb. Carrie Ann said she is unmatched in this competition. Tonight, her placement was perfect and so was her passion. It didn’t feel genuine and heated. It needed more chemistry.

WATCH THE VIDEO:

Our commentary:

Will they be able to bring the intensity that this dance calls for? Her dress is super cute. The dance is fancy and well calculated and choreographed, but we didn’t expect anything less from these two. He spun her around and it looks like there are two professional dancers on the floor.

The judges’ commentary:

Len: He felt that this was a rose for him, it had beauty but underneath the surface, there was a thorn. Well done.

On tonight’s episode of Dancing With The Stars, Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins and her professional dance partner Mark Ballas are dancing the Paso Doble. She dances pretty well, let’s hope that she can continue to do just that!

As always, we are live-blogging all of the action in tonight’s show, so you can read all about that here.

Our commentary on the dance:

The dance is aggressive and Katherine is definitely bringing out her inner Welsh Warrior. The steps are well done and it looks like the boxing really helped with her aggressive attitude. Well done!

Judge’s comments:

Bruno: She unleashed a whirlwind of fury, but it has to retain definition. Nice job, she’s a great dancer, but it’s not as refined as a Paso Doble should be.
Carrie Ann: The intensity was there, but it threw her off her footing.
Len: It had promise, but it didn’t quite deliver. She went for the attack, but it wasn’t there. She’s a wonderful dancer.

Scores:

Carrie Ann Inaba: 8
Len Goodman: 8
Bruno Tonioli: 8

Former Hills reality star Kristin Cavallari and her professional dance partner Mark Ballas performed a Samba on last night’s performance episode of Dancing With The Stars. She said that her most memorable year was 2005, which was the year that she moved to Los Angeles. In case you’ve missed last night’s show, you can read our official recap here.

Kristin and Mark performed their Samba to Beyonce’s song Crazy In Love. Check out the video of their performance, below:

The entire dance, to us, seemed like one big strip show. She shook her moneymaker, that’s for sure. Judge Len Goodman started off the judge’s commentary by saying that this Beyonce stuff isn’t his cup of tea, but the other 80 percent of the dance was fabulous.

Bruno Tonioli said that was more than ‘crazy in love’, was crazy in lust! The camera also panned to Kristin’s former fiancee, Jay Cutler, who was in the crowd to support her. Bruno called her a “fast moving devil woman”.

Carrie Ann Inaba said that Beyonce is some pretty big shoes to fill, but she thinks she did pretty darn good. She said that Kristin is doing some very difficult choreography.

Carrie Ann: 8
Len: 8

Dancing second on last night’s Dancing With The Stars, were reality show star Kristin Cavallari and her professional dance partner, Mark Ballas, doing the Quickstep.

It was a lively and happy Quickstep, and Kristin showed some improvement over last week’s dance.

Check out the video of their Quickstep:

Bruno Tonioli said he was “bedazzled by the blonde bombshell!” He said he loves old Hollywood glamor and this performance was “twinkling with pleasure”. He said she just worked it beautifully. He advised her to hold her frame all of the way through in the Quickstep. He commented on her “beautiful ending”, saying that got too excited and almost missed it.

Carrie Ann Inaba said, “Last week, nervous, this week, STUNNING!” She said it was a complete transformation and she was elegant and floated across and they were in complete synchronicity. She said that Kristin was gorgeous, light on her feet and kept her frame and it was just “GORGEOUS!”

Len Goodman said Kristin looks fantastic, but the dance wasn’t as good as she looked. He said she had him dazzled by the whole spectacle, but if you look closer, the footwork could have been cleaner, the hold could have been stronger and said that she broke hold, which is against the rules, a couple of times. However, overall it was a great improvement over last week and told her “well done.”

Judge’s Scores:

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

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…)

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…)

Last night’s Dancing With The Stars had a bit of a mishap when Karina Smirnoff hit the floor in the middle of her dance with Ralph Macchio.

Now, Len asked Kendra Wilkinson and Louis Van Amstel to re-do their stripper happy Samba from last night. Oh God, someone please vote this broad off already. She’s seriously awful.

American Idol castoff Pia Toscano performed I’ll Stand By You and she sounded great! I haven’t been keeping tabs on Idol at all, but I have to wonder how she was voted off at all???

SAFE:

Romeo & Chelsie Hightower
Chelsea Kane & Mark Ballas
Hines Ward & Kym Johnson
Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Kendra Wilkinson & Louis Van Amstel

So who was eliminated out of Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke and Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff????

CHRIS JERICHO & CHERYL BURKE!

Last week’s Dancing With The Stars saw the untimely ousting of Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin, so it’s really anyone’s guess as to who’s going home after tonight’s Guilty Pleasures night of dancing!

Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are up first, doing the Samba to Britney Spears’ song, Hit Me Baby One More Time. They did a good job with the dance and it looked like she was having fun! Len said she fulfilled her potential tonight and she did a great job. Bruno said she made the dance look easy and that her “wiggly bum sent shockwaves through the airwaves.” Carrie Ann said she wants to see Kirstie in the finals. Score: 26

(continue reading…)

We’re trying to stay positive that maybe this week Kendra Wilkinson will get the boot from Dancing With The Stars, so please internet, don’t let me down!

The judges wanted to see Romeo and Chelsie Hightower do their Foxtrot again. It was still great, we’re sure they’re not going anywhere.

SAFE:

Hines Ward & Kym Johnson
Chelsie Hightower & Mark Ballas
Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff
Kendra Wilkinson & Louis Van Amstel
Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke

So who’s going home on tonight’s show???? PETRA NEMCOVA & DMITRY CHAPLIN!

On last week’s episode of Dancing With The Stars, we said goodbye to Sugar Ray Leonard! So who’s next on the chopping block??? It’s anyone’s guess! (They kept Kendra, remember that.)

Dancing first are Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff, doing the Samba. The dance was awkward, but well done. Len said he needed to work on rhythm and Bruno agreed and said, “Give me sex, man.” Carrie Ann said the performance was entertaining. Score: 22 (continue reading…)

American Idol castoff Pia Toscano is rumored to be dating Dancing With The Stars professional dancer Mark Ballas.

So it’s no wonder that she wants to cross over to a different reality show and try her luck there. Either that, or she wants to dance sexy with her man.

In a new interview, she said that she grew up around many different dance styles. She said, “The Mumba is my favorite. But my favorite growing up was definitely jazz. I’m totally open to Dancing With The Stars. That would be really fun because I’m a huge fan of the show so I’d definitely love to do that!”

What do you think of Pia on the dancing show? Let us know in the comments!

On last night’s Dancing With The Stars, reality actress Kendra Wilkinson and her dance partner Louis Van Amstel garnered the lowest scores of the night with an 18 our of 30 points. But, as we all know, that doesn’t mean that they are going to be sent packing at the end of the night!

Kristie Alley suffered a fumble, as her shoe became undone during her Waltz. She scored 22 points for herself and dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Being as this is pretty much a popularity contest, we’re going to fathom a guess that Sugar Ray Leonard bites the dust tonight. BUT — We could be wrong!

SAFE:

Ralph Macchio & Karina Smirnoff
Hines Ward & Kym Johnson
Chris Jericho & Cheryl Burke
Romeo & Chelsie Hightower
Kirstie Alley & Maksim Chmerkovskiy
Kendra Wilkinson & Louis Van Amstel
Petra Nemcova & Dmitry Chaplin

So, who was eliminated on tonight’s Dancing With The Stars? SUGAR RAY LEONARD & ANNA TREBUNSKAYA! Are you surprised???

Last week, Wendy Williams was ousted on Dancing With The Stars. This week, the dancers are doing the Paso Doble, the Waltz and the Viennese Waltz.

Dancing first are Romeo and Chelsie Hightower, doing the Paso Doble. He aced the dance, showing all kinds of intense emotion and hard work. The judges agreed, saying that it was an action-packed, great performance. Score: 23
(continue reading…)

Last week, we said goodbye to Mike Catherwood and Lacey Schwimmer. This week, we’ll see who survives and gets the axe on Dancing With The Stars!

Tonight, the stars and dancers are doing a dance that tells a personal story. (continue reading…)

Dancing With The Stars is back for week two and they all have another chance to make good scores due to the fact that no one was eliminated last week!

Dancing first were Sugar Ray Leonard and Anna Trebunskaya, doing the Jive. Len commented that Sugar Ray was in jeopardy already. Bruno said that it was too soft around the edges. They scored 17 points.

Dancing next were Kendra Wilkinson and Louis Van Amstel, doing the Quickstep. Len commented that her posture was a bit hit and miss. Overall, there was improvement over last week. They scored a total of 19 points.

Up next on the dance floor were Chelsea Kane and Mark Ballas, dancing the Jive. It was an entertaining dance, yet the judges said that there wasn’t much of a Jive to it. Carrie Ann said that she didn’t care for the choreography. They scored a total of 18 points.

Dancing the Quickstep are Chris Jericho and Cheryl Burke. His dancing seemed a bit stiff, but overall, it looked like he was having fun. At points, it seemed a bit effortless for Chris, which is a bonus. They scored a total of 23 points.

Up next are Petra Nemcova and Dmitry Chaplin, doing the Jive. She did a pretty good performance. Len said, “Long legs, bad technique”, but she “did it beautifully.” They scored a total of 18 points.

Dancing next are Kirstie Alley and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, doing the Quickstep. They did a good job, I loved their dance, even though it wasn’t my favorite song choice…Ha. She ended the dance with a big kiss for Maks! They scored a total of 20 points.

Mike Catherwood and Lacey Schwimmer are up next, doing the Jive. He was truly awful and slow and stiff — and that’s being kind. Obviously, this guy needs to stick to radio. They scored a total of 17 points.

Dancing next are Romeo and Chelsie Hightower, doing the Quickstep. They looked cute and a little disconnected. He looked like he was about to mess up at any minute. They scored a total of 23 points.

Next up are Wendy Williams and Tony Dovolani doing the Quickstep. This dance wasn’t very quick, considering that it’s a Quickstep. Too many props, too, in my opinion. They scored a total of 17 points.

Ralph Macchio and Karina Smirnoff danced the Jive next. They did really well, the dance was fast and fun! He’s 49 and he’s dancing like he’s 20. You go, Karate Kid! They scored a total of 21 points.

Hines Ward and Kym Johnson danced the Quickstep next. They did decent, but not spectacular. I can see him doing better in a ballroom styled dance, instead of something that was supposed to be so fast. They scored a total of 23 points.

Who are you rooting for???
